(10/9/08) business u-turn

Dream #1

It was a bright day. I was in a car with my boss BS and some other people. BS was driving us down a side road that was just to the right of a highway that ran slightly over the ground (and was supported by a concrete ramp, not columns).

We were all talking about something that would happen, possibly some people that were going to visit the place we had just come from. We thought it would be good to get information from those people. We were interested to hear (from our own conversation?) that they would be arriving. We all discussed the logistics of how we would arrange a call with them once we determined when they would actually arrive, which would be in the next couple hours.

Then, at an intersection, BS pulled a u-turn. We all wondered what BS was doing. He said he was driving back to where we had come from. I noticed there were a lot of small holes (like rivets?) in the road. We all asked BS why he would take our time like that, when we had finished everything we had done there. (The place we had come from may now have been Boston.) BS told us not to worry, that it was only a fifteen-minute trip, anyway.

We were now in a big room that was part of a house. The house didn't feel very well set-up at all. It also felt like it was in the middle of the wilderness. The room we were in was cluttered. It seemed to be full of fine furniture, like from eighteenth-century Europe, as well as a bunch of trash from the present.

BS had sent someone out to find if "the two (or three?) people" had arrived. The person came back and said that the people (each person representing a company) had arrived, but that each was now on a big conference call, discussing his respective company's earnings results.

BS seemed disappointed with me, as if I had told him we'd be able to see these people in person. He told someone that he wanted me to keep dialing the people's phone numbers until I got a hold of them, as it was  really imperative that we get information from them. We'd found out a lot on our own. But now we needed to verify it.
