THE DREAM - I was riding bike across a wide open space with a woman that I love. No path was really visible, but we were on "the path" and going toward some trees in the distance. There were some eruptions ahead and people started bunching up as mounds began to form. It became hilly. Some small mounds spewed ammonia gas. I remember very clearly from the dream that it was ammonia People started moving back to where we all had come from, but there wasn't a sense of panic. I ended up carrying the woman out, she slept like a baby with her head on my shoulder. My wife appeared as a guide along the way, shuffling me and others in the group to safety. I woke up very happy.

GUESSWORK The previous day the dreamer had been gassing moles in the yard. He also chatted with the woman in the dream online for a little over an hour before he went to bed. It was the first long conversation they'd had in weeks and he was very happy and surprised to hear from her. The woman is a former co-worker. The dreamer introduced her to his wife and they became friends. He has told his wife that he likes this woman, and he also told the woman as well that he liked her.
