I know some people think dreams do not have meanings, but say they for sure did. If they do, what does this dream mean, do YOU think?
I was with my grandmother, a teacher, who isn't a teacher in real life. She was taking my robotics team on a trip to a tiny ocean at her campground. We went swimming, and then she turned into a teacher I used to hate when I was younger. This women gave us gifts, from lip gloss to many others. She also gave us a tank with a miniature raptor from the age of dinosaurs inside of it. I automatically showed up to where my dad was, excited. He fed the raptor a lemon, and the thing became suddenly a giant. My best friend, standing there, told me to put it in the trash on the way to the ocean. So I did, but it climbed out and ran. She went after it. Then I went to the ocean, and swam with my boyfriend. We arrived at my grandma's camp site later, and my boyfriend and best friend were missing. So I went on a search with my dad. We found another girl's campsite, and she warned me not to text secrets, or my phone would not be usable any longer. I found my best friend, and then my boyfriend showed up, claiming he had been testing for the ACT to prove that he couldnt' do it in the time they allowed. Then, all of a sudden, I was in Hell's Kitchen, sitting there, washing my hands like crazy, until I woke up.
What in the world could this insane dream symbolize?

I have these 2 dressers each in which have the same brass pulls and I'm having problems getting the tarnish off the pulls from the second dresser (my mom polished them 5-6 years ago and their tarnished again). I think she put a clear coat of some kind on them to keep them from tarnishing but I guess it didn't work- keeps me from getting the tarnish off anyways. . . help. . . .?
I've been using Bar Keepers Friend (*Use* to think was a miracle) but now that doesn't work- even with a toothbrush. Any special brushes or something that might work a hell of alot better?
I don't want new ones- I just want these to be easier to polish~! lol is that so hard to ask?

we put a limit on Christmas last year for the kids, we set a 400 dollar limit, DIL asked that we spend it all on a gift for our son. We agreed but told her that would be it, she agreed, and stated that the girls ( 2yr old twins) would not know the difference that they would receive lots of gifts from other relatives. We agreed with the gift (safety item for motocross racing) since she told us that the best gift we could give the girls was to make sure there daddy was safe. Come Christmas day all hell broke loose and our son was ticked because we did not send any gifts for the girls. We explained what we were told to do, he still was mad. I later heard from mutual friend that my DIL was telling people that we bought the girls nothing for Christmas. I was hurt and called my son to ask him to please tell DIL not to do that and if she was to tell anything to tell the whole story. The next day DIL called screaming at me and telling me that I was going to loose my son and that I was a horrible grandmother. We told our son what she had done and he more or less condoned her behavior. DIL will not take my calls or talk to either of us now for over a year.. We have been in communication with son, but it is estranged. I still send the girls gifts for almost every holiday, have talked to them on the phone, but was told by son just recently that I am not a very good grandmother. I told him it is hard to have relationship knowing the feelings of his wife, he informed me that when we were more in contact with his children and acted like better grandparents maybe she would come around and have something to do with us. He accuses me of never of liking his wife, I told him I love her I just don't appreciate her way of confronting me. They have lived 12 hours away for almost 4 years now, I have been out there 4 times have called and done video cams with them, sent the girls tons of gifts and it seems its never enough for him or her. I told my son that his father and I for some reason cannot do right by him, he said nothing. He complained alot abut his father and said some pretty mean things about him, but when I talked about his wife and how she needs to not confront me in that matter he becomes irate and hateful. What do we do. I could go on and on about this. Our true feelings is that she wants our son all to her self and I am fine with that, he is suppose to leave his mother and father and cleave to his wife, but she is truly the one who dislikes me and his father, she is very controlling and hateful. I have apologized several times about not sending a gift for the girls and I was wrong but I was blown away when my son just told me recently that they are upset because we don't make enough effort towards his girls, that it has nothing to do with the gift. I want this to be better, have tried to work it out, but they are making conditions, and she always has rules and hoops that me and sons father must jump through.
