I had a dream last night. It was interesting (I have dreams all the time, but most of them aren't very noteworthy, IMO).

I went to the store (the one where I work), although it wasn't really the store. I seemed to be in some sort of strip mall thing. However, there was the store owner. I can't say for certain, but it seemed like she was getting her nails done or something. Now granted, I consider the store owners (I call her the owner because I believe she is named as the primary owner, with my friend [her husband] as the co-owner) friends, but will be one of the first to say they don't belong in this business (specifically, the gaming store business).

I don't know what she actually said, but she said something to me, to which I (extremely agitated) replied, "Screw you! I bust my ass for YOUR store! I have sacrificed more for YOUR
store than you ever will!" and I stormed out.

I apparently tried to fly home, but was having trouble due to the wind. Specifically, the wind wasn't blowing in the direction I wanted to go. I somehow managed to fight against it to get back home. However, there were several women in my path. One finally stopped me and said something to the effect of, "we've been looking for you." The next thing she did and said I remember pretty clearly though: She said, "there are a lot of people here lately who are flying on false wings. They can only go in the direction that the wind is blowing." She then handed me what appeared to be a set of black wings (black feathers). She then said, "Now you can go anywhere you want, no matter which way the wind is blowing."

I then went back home, which had a really wierd doorway (it was kind of a half sized door, with no stairs or porch, just a stoop to the side of it, which I had to jump across to reach the doorway. I went inside, and there was a (the) dog. The music seemed to be a more upbeat version of "Cruel Angel Thesis" (the opening theme song for the "Neon Genesis: Evangelion" anime series. The song itself is actually a nice one, especially the piano solo version, which this seemed to be, only with a more upbeat tempo). There was a certain sense of... potency... I looked at my stuff, took off the useless fake wings, inserted the 'real wings', and just packed my backpack, and that was it. I gave the dog the fake wings, but since he's a dog, he apparently didn't need a specific 'direction' (iow, the fake wings were fine for him). I reached the doorway, with a huge smile. I told the dog, "we're free now. Free to go whereever we want." I remember taking off, and hoping that the dog might follow me, because at least I treated him fairly. But I wasn't expecting him to. And I just left. 
 
I can really relate to the "flying on false wings, only able to go where the wind blows them" statement, as that's pretty much how I've lived my life the past 5 years or so. I've never really had a 'prophetic dream', but I have had dreams that have viewed current events from a different perspective, and it's helped me in resolving current issues.
