I’m a partly Native American and partly European man, very large in size and stature. I’m being led to different tribes who accept me and share important things about the tribe with me. It’s almost as though I’m very mixed blood between at least 5-6 tribes. There are things I need to know.

I’m in a small town and there’s a large station that has gas, an indoor/outdoor cafe, garage, and store. The thing that’s highly unusual about it is that the tools, the lubricants, and other things aren’t behind lock and key. They’re exposed as if you were a neighbor, you could just come up and use the things. Everything is also very clean and feels friendly. The place is called “Unocal”, and I see the 76 symbol, but I also see the Pegasus from Mobil oil. The openness of it all is very striking.

I’m getting into the back seat of a classic small-size sedan. It’s tan inside and out, probably European, with a bit of chrome in all the right places. There are a couple guys standing nearby, looking a bit morose. Georgia is in the driver’s seat. There’s another woman in the passenger seat. Georgia turns and hands me a large manilla envelope. Inside is a ring 8-10″ in. diameter with about 10 or so keys on it. The keys are all different sizes and colors. She tells me that she took from the office so that I could have them. It feels like a big responsibility and I wonder if I’m capable of utilizing them.

I ask Georgia how she explains NOS to people, and how her definition may change depending on the person. She tells me that’s a good question. She starts up the car and the doors close and she takes off. I ask if she realizes that my car is back behind us and she affirms that she does. She’s driving through a forest and there seem to be faery villages and lots of beautifully colored flowers. The car meanders through the trees and onto a road.

At this point I’m awakened by a hand on my shoulder. I was working the dream but could only go in reverse and recap at this point. I was a little nervous, and little curious, and a little unsure.
