Dream; Snow driving, Intent on buying thread.

I remember being at a fast food restaurant and trying to keep or help someone else keep a job there. I was also driving in the snow at night. On the drive home from the fast food restaurant, I drove down the hill and looked out toward the interstate highway. It was hilly, and I noticed for the first time (even though it had happened all my life, and even to me, although being in a car, I'd never noticed it before) that every time a car went over a hill, it jumped into the air from the momentum at the top, and sometimes went so high as thirty feet before coming back down.

Then I remember being in a store, like the size of Costco or Sam's Club or maybe Home Depot. There was an aisle, that tall, that on the second shelf had huge skeins of doily crocheting thread, and they were cheap, and in many colors, and I wanted to buy some. But I couldn't reach them. No one tall enough would help me (well, one did once, but then he left and I still needed more help). There was no ladder. Climbing on the first shelf would make the entire aisle tip over on me. It would be bad. I noticed some plastic bucket bins behind me, I tried standing on them, but they were too light, wobbly, and not tall enough. The shelf was maybe ten-thirteen feet above me. There was no employee with a mini-tractor thing they have at those stores for reaching the top shelves. I finally found that I could knock some of the skeins off by shaking the shelving thing. I got two that way. Not enough. I wanted four, I think. I finally noticed bigger plastic bins that were heavier and steadier behind me and used them to reach up. Then I woke up. I think this dream went on for an hour or so.... who knows in waking life. However, in dream world, I concentrated on getting that thread down for a REALLY long time, so much so that when I woke up, I wondered what in the world I was thinking and why it was so important to figure it out.
