Resurfacing Bumpy Dirt Roads of the Past

I was working remotely and for some reason he was there... he was in the background and I could feel his eyes... I had this growing suspicion that he was going to try to re-enter my life... I felt really disgruntled about that.

For some reason we had to have little miniature guinea pig like companions to do our job - my first one was about to retired and I had a replacement waiting in a tube... I realized I had made it wait for longer than I should have.. but I had built a bond with the original and didn't want to give it up... I opened the 2nd tube and the 2nd one came shooting out - they were really small and the only way I could describe them is about he length of an index finger and completely covered in the softest fur you could imagine... I can't remember eyes, noses or mouths.. they just existed.

They both took off and jetted into the room he was in.  "fuck" - I said to myself cause now I had to go interact with him.  I was cordial, as always, but my wall was double the height as it has ever been.  Somehow it came out that his wife had taken a sharp turn and was now staying mostly in bed and extremely depressed.  I started to feel sympathetic towards him.. but wondered if his situation was his own doing - maybe she had found out about his activities and at that point... that's all on him.  He made those choices.. he will have to deal with the consequences.  I was mad at myself for having let the wall come down any distance so quickly.

Later in the dream, or in a whole other dream entirely - I was leaving this remote location and had to take a dirt road at one point... I saw a train coming down the dirt road after crossing over a main intersection - it had to go through a few hundred feet of trackless bumpy dirt road before the track picked up again... a few of the tail end cars got disconnected and rolled back into the main intersection t-boning a car and causing others to wreck.  The police came and I was questioned as an eye witness... Dad showed up and offered to pave the dirt road to prevent this from happening again.. .it was going to be a hefty contract and he got it.

The end.
