I'm noticing a shift in what I dream

I had trouble sleeping this week, so I took a gravol to help me feel like sleeping. Here is what I imagined last night...
Dull colors. I was following a deer through a forest with a similar feel to the tree grove at my parents farm. As I was following, we came upon a moose that was grazing amongst the trees. The deer spoke to the moose and let him know I was following and was a threat perhaps. I felt the moose become aware of me, and grabbed a large branch off the ground to protect myself. The moose was coming towards me, I quickly climbed the nearest tree to me, there were many trunks and limbs. The moose got to the base of my tree and reached up to slap my legs. He had surprising long reach. I climbed higher, having trouble. He kept slapping me, taunting and circling the tree. He started transforming to get better access to attack me. His first shape was a knitted duck, those old school ones that were designed to hold soap bars in their bodies. I dove down towards him and started strangling the duck. I felt sad but also concerned for my own safety. 
~I was apart of a community in Calgary whose neighbourhood was going to be affected by the building of a sound wall. The residents didn't want it to be built and were upset. Mom and Dad came to visit me at ACAD. Soon I had to leave so I could be home in time for the community meeting with the city. On the bus, which drove on the c-train tracks, the fat, uninterested operator was handing out envelopes with info pamphlets from the city. They were addressed to certain people, but he was handing them to anyone. I saw one addressed to Shaun Doiron. The man in front of me had mine. I asked for it and started reading. There was a handle leading to a page with a trowel image on the page. The handle could be detached. There was alot of distracting info about the benefits of sound walls, various projects in works by the city, work by the Children's Hospital, and about the contractors involved. There was a picture near the end of a nude man posing in a barnyard. I started giggling. A woman was sitting next to me, and my sister Eden was a few seats back, watching. The woman asked why I was giggling so I showed her the picture. The man had changed positions, he was doing a hand stand. She became really interested and continued to watch the picture change...
I woke up to my alarm.
