Easy sleep

It's strange. I was leaving work and for some reason I got fixated in the parking lot on this pile of sand formed by an ant colony. It was either the end of the day or something or maybe a cloud passing over the sun but the sky appeared overcast. Somehow a bit of light broke through and was reflecting off of a side mirror and had illuminated the ant hill. I don't know what came over me, but I decided to flick the hill over and knock it down. Someone from across the lot yelled at me saying that the ants who created that (and apparently dozens of other such hills in the lot) were endangered. I thought she was crazy and said, even if I did knock it over, they would be alright and dig it back out. I turned and got into my truck and started to leave the lot and at a light, my truck changed into this little motorcycle. I was just as confused because the light had changed and I had to get that thing moving forward. At this point the overcastness had disappeared and it was sunny.

I ended up driving to this place surrounded by trees. It reminded me of a sort of get away home that was in the process of being updated. I entered the place and ran into a bunch of kids. One of the older boys saw me and said "you came back" It felt familiar somehow. The next thing I know I see another little boy with some of the younger children toting around a plastic potty in the shape of a penguine. Maybe he was being potty trained. I moved from that room into what looked like a bathroom with toothpaste on the floor. I felt compelled to try and scrub that mess up with a washcloth, but some of the mess was stuck on the floor pretty good. I started waking up at that point just as a motherly woman came into focus trying to assist me.
