creepy dream

I was being shown an island. Which had 4 or 5 big houses/estates on it. I guess rich people went there for vacations.

I was then in one of the houses with a couple other people, sitting at a table. The guy (one of the rich people who lived there?) asked or told me to go into a room at the other end of the hall/building (to fetch something?), and then come back and enter the room behind us. So I got up and walked away. But I didn't go into the room at the end of the hall yet (unbeknownst to them). Somehow I heard them continuing to talk, about how there was an unknown guy in the room behind them (at that point, I was able to somehow see the outline of this unknown person through the walls), and when I came back and entered the room, he would kill me, and...

So I didn't go back. I stayed on the other end of the building for hours, till the other people got up from the table and walked away. Eventually I walked back. There was fancy food / desserts on the long banquet table. When I got back to the end of the table where we had been sitting that morning, the guy was there again, and someone else. I felt that I was safe now; that whatever the danger had been, it was past.

I asked the guy (who was now somehow the same person as the unknown guy in the room), "So what would have happened if I had come back?"

His facial expression changed to incredulity/shock, as if he knew I knew, and how could I know?
Then it changed to anger/hate. He said "I would have" and demonstrated (without touching me) a roundhouse kick to my head, "and..." and then another kick...

I said "So you would have killed me. And then what?", and woke up. But when I woke up, I kept thinking, that's not what I wanted to ask! I wanted to ask WHY??? Why would they have killed me?

pink lights

At work, someone on the other side of the building put up a Valentine's Day Tree. It's a pretty pink (Christmas) tree, with pink lights and heart decorations.

A dead Canadian goose has been floating by the edge of the pond since at least Monday. Poor thing. I wonder what happened to it. I considered reporting it at first, but wouldn't even know who to report it to.

Driving home yesterday, there were 2 wild turkeys* standing in the driveway to a car body shop. Very close to the main road I was driving on, which had a lot of traffic. There was also a car parked off the other side of the road with its lights flashing yellow. Not sure if that was related.

*only got a quick glimpse, enough to be pretty sure they weren't buzzards. One looked vaguely peacockish, but I'm pretty sure we don't have wild peacocks around here.

My laptop is back from being repaired under warranty, with a new keyboard and touchpad. Seems to be working fine so far, yay. The new keyboard is a dual English/French one, which is different.

It's very cold outside. But something went wrong with the HVAC at work today, and it got very warm inside. Even with the doors to the atrium propped open. In the morning when other people started to complain, I was like "I'm comfortable actually. It's better than being too cold". But it got so warm that by the time I left in the evening, it was way too warm even for me.
