waiting for a superman

when i opened my eyes in my dream last night, i discovered i was back in my mama superhero costume. the rainbow harem pants, the silver corset, the silver boots, the big, crazy hair. i was in sydney australia, trying to navigate the train system there; and i was in a big rush. my girl [info]most_mysterious was with me, but she wasn't a superhero; she was desperately trying to find her daughter who'd gotten lost in a crush of people at train station and we hadn't noticed until we were already on the train and moving that she wasn't with us. we went two stations before we could push our way out of the car. we were both in a panic but i felt very strongly we'd be able to get back to her daughter. i had to literally shove people out of our way to get off the car. the train we'd been on was destined for a place called "trifle", and we had to go the opposite way on the line towards "ewing". i finally got us both off the train and we started dashing up a huge metal ramp to get to the other side of the tracks. there we passed a woman i met last year, a mother of one of liam's kindergarten classmates. she didn't have either of her two boys with her, though; instead she had twin toddler daughters who were having trouble getting up the ramp -- they kept falling and bonking their heads. i wanted to stop and help but [info]most_mysterious was panicking and screaming at me to go faster. i finally grabbed her by the upper arm and...i don't know how to describe it...it was like in the other dream when i managed to sort of defy gravity somewhat and take huge leaps through the air, bouncing down and then back up again, covering great amounts of terrain in a fraction of the time it would take a non-superhero to walk. she was trailing along beside me, trying to keep up, but i was dragging her through the air and her pathetic little mortal feet would scramble on the pavement each time we touched down. at one point she just looked up at me and said, "what on earth happened to you?" and i shrugged and said, "i've got no idea, but am i ever glad it did." and then i woke up. i have to say, i'm very much enjoying my "super-mama" dreams. i always come up to consciousness feeling very strong and vital. i wonder what they mean?
