Before WBTB

Mount Grump:
I'm standing on a mountain, with the cliff to my left. The area resembles Pride Rock from The Lion King.
On the rock wall to my right, there is a slot hole. It appears that a hand would fit in there.
...
I'm trapped in a mountain cave.
...
I'm watching the Game Grumps play a modernized Donkey Kong 64.
They are controlling Squawks the bird from Donkey Kong Country 2.
Arin is having the bird shoot red pellets at wasps as they ascend a square-ish grassy area.
As he ascends, there are buttons he needs to shoot in a sequence.
Dan makes the comment: "This is soooo much better than the 2D original version!"
He also comments about being trapped in the mountain earlier.

After WBTB

Escape:
My friend B from back home is crawling through a vent. We are in a sort of manufacturing facility.
The vent has poisonous gas in it, so he is making a sacrifice for us.
He is trying to get a game cartridge. It might have been a Nintendo DS one.
...
Later I'm playing Pokemon with someone. The player has a "fat" Pikachu.
It's a regional exclusive Pokemon. It looks wide, sorta like Hey Arnold.


Pikachungus.
...
I'm stranded in a park-like area with my coworker H.
I believe the scene started off in a rocky-cave, but later transitioned to the field.
We aren't directly working together, but she has her own area off to my left.
At one point she has taken off her top, presumably to try and wave it around and grab attention.
I crane my neck so that I can see her, and I notice that her chest is different than I expected.
Not mad about it though.

Drinks:
I'm at a small bar with H from the Tots.
I notice there is some spilled water or beer on a hightop nearby.
There is also a karaoke setup off to my right.
The owner of the bar comes out and tells us that we can have the bar if we want it.
I start to imagine the possibilities, and the logistics of owning a bar.

Cancer:
I'm at a Doctor's office with my Dad.
He breaks the news that his brain inflammation has gotten bad.
And also that he has cancer.
I'm struck with grief. Frozen. Unsure what to say.
I slide down the wall I'm leaning against and sit on the ground.

Wild Burgers:

I'm in the woods with my brother. It vaguely reminds me of how I pictured a scene from the book 'Hatchet' from middle school English class.
It's raining, and we have a small cave for shelter.
But there are some wild animals coming. High feeling of urgency and stress.
We run.
...
I see a homeless man coming out of the wilderness in third person.
He walks onto the street and enters a bar.
The man is concerned about how he might smell, but nobody brings up the issue.
...
I'm with Danny and Arin from the Game Grumps.
We seem to be in a sort of Power Hour scenario (Youtube show the duo does).
There are three burgers in front of us in a chemical hood.
The task is to assemble one full size burger by disassembling the other three.
I sarcastically split each burger into thirds, and then combine one third of each piece into one as a joke.
I'm concerned whether the joke will land.

Unclear Suns:

I'm in a classroom that resembles a conference room at work.
A Carl Sagan-like person is teaching a lecture about the sun.
It may have been about the sun exploding.
There is some algebra on a chalkboard as he explains.
An Asian guy calls out to him, not believing something he is saying.
I can follow the algebra on the board, except for one part that is unreadable to me at the bottom.
It looked as if letters were combined.

The REM rebound is real

The Stylin' Spider Boss
I'm in a Zelda boss arena that reminds me of the Wizzrobe battle in Stone Tower Temple from Majora's Mask.
The boss is a large spider-like creature, and the solution is to shoot it in the eye.
It drops arrows periodically, in case the player runs out.
Later I'm in another Zelda boss arena. This time it is like Stallord's from Twilight Princess, but with a forest theme.
The boss is a spider-like creature, with long spindly legs. It might be the same one from before.
My girlfriend S has painted the legs purple and put converse shoes on the legs.
Zoro from One Piece is resting against the locked boss door, watching the battle.
He's saying something to Usopp, also from One Piece.

Fragment
It's night-time on a modern-military boat.
Jiraiya from Naruto is leaning over the railing on the front of the deck.
Some conversation has just happened, had to do with passing responsibility on to the next generation.

Basement Fort
I'm in a large basement, fully completed. A young boy is using it as his room.
It reminds me of Grandma P's current basement.
The boy has built a fort out of blankets, sheets, and chairs. He reminds me of S's cousin J.
There is a set of locks in the sheets, where the keys would open the door. There are 5 or 6 of them.
My sister's boyfriend N and my Dad are there.
They are hanging out on a large sitting area, with half-circles of leather couches facing a TV.
This section of the basement looks like the one from the home I grew up in.
My brother A has just returned from travel. He is carrying a lot of luggage and seems overbeared.
But he is handling it.
Fun commentary here...my brother has a young boy due any day now. I don't really believe in premonition, but maybe this dream is saying that he will be OK?

Fragment
I'm at a wedding ceremony. Anju and Kafe from Majora's Mask are getting married.
They are thanking me for helping them with jobs around town that got them to this point.
There is another person at the wedding who is trying to have me arrested for meddling.

The Arcade on Top of the Hill
I'm in a big hilly place. There is an arcade-hotel at the top of a large hill.
I'm now at the arcade. Lots of lights and sounds.
I run into Arin Hanson from Game Grumps.
I tell him I'm a big fan and he decides to hang out with me.
We walk around the arcade a bit and then leave through a back-door.
We're outside, back in the hilly area. There is a concrete floor, with a hole and a ladder leading down.
He says we have to go down there.
I tell him I can't because of my knee.
The hole shrinks, such that a person could just barely fit.
I try to squeeze through, but I can't.
I think that maybe using some oil would work.
I remember there is a train I need to catch.
I really am recovering from knee surgery, so I was aware enough to reflect that here.

Fragment
I can recall a fleeting image of a sky palace area, where paradoxically, the hole from the previous dream would lead.
