Dream 1-- Bear Hunting

This old, wise hunter and I are going hunting for black bears. We are on a patch of grass, walking forward toward an extremely shallow tributary, when I see a black bear running toward the center of my vision in the distance from the right side. At that moment, I notice the hunter is holding this strange weapon, which appears to be a long black tube with a red ballon at the end. On the balloon is a big white star.

At first I have no idea what the weapon is or how it works, but I am just following the lead of the hunter. We cross the tributary, approaching the bear closer. When we cross, the bear starts to run toward us at an angle. This causes us to run in the opposite direction, and the bear begins to run around us in an attempt to cut us off.

At this point, I get scared. I have a feeling the bear can predict our movements and read our minds. Then I remember we have this weapon to use, apparently I now have one in my hands too. This gives me a surge of confidence, and I being to run forward. Running, I look down at what I am holding to get a better idea of how to use it. As I look back up, I realize I am now on a sidewalk and there is a fence to the left of me. I see a black bear cub close to the fence, and reactionarily pull whatever trigger is available. The effect of this weapon is huge gust of air that pushes the cub up against the fence with an extreme amount of force. I become regretful of my action because I not only abused the cub but now the mother bear will be angered.

Out of nowhere, a group of people show up and start crowding around me, encouraging me to walk forward with them on the path of the sidewalk. We start walking and there is a lot of talking. I'm not saying much, but I am caught up in the momentum and inertia of the group. Then, the cub sort of transforms into a person, who joins our group. After we exchange a couple of words, he bites me but won't let me bite him back to be fair. This pisses me off and I leave the group.

Enraged, I keep walking alone. It now becomes night time and I find myself walking next to balto. I have this internal debate about whether or not I should talk to him about my feelings. Then I decide to, and ask "who does ____ think he is?"(i cant remember the name of the guy who bit me in hindsight, in the dream I actually said a name). As we keep walking, we end up sitting in bleachers, it turns out there is a huge procession for the group of people that I was walking with.

As I'm sitting down, I see some of my high school friends sitting in the bleachers, especially peg. Someone says "peg, i havent seen you in a while... you look like a druggie" and peg smiles and tells a joke as he looks around. His gaze settles on me and I look away. I think about how I should be a part of this procession instead of waiting here with everyone and how the issue wasn't whether or not I should talk about my feelings but whether or not I should act out my feelings instead of just running away and complaining later.

Dream 2-- Watching People Take a test

I am standing in the doorway of a room with the teacher and his desk to my right, and all the students taking a scantron test in front of me. They are all sitting on chairs, taking their tests on top of black tables. The floor is white. Many people seem to be having trouble with the test, and one girl in particular catches my attention.

She seems puzzled by one question, and asks aloud, "how am i supposed to know???" My perspective zooms in on her face, and I become entranced by her lips. I seriously desire to just kiss her and hold her. As I continue to look, people are starting to file out of the room one by one because they have probably completed the test. I am still this passive observer, just watching and apart from it all. There remains on student left in the room, who looks like a simpson's character is frozen in a position that makes me smile. He eyes look closed, and his hand is awkwardly holding the pencil. He is brownish skinned and definitely animated.

The scene cuts to a mall. I am coming down an escalator and I see the girl from the testing room except now she is wearing this weird whitish outfit and has totally blue skin with black stripes painted over her face. I look around and notice that there are a lot of people wearing the same thing, and I wonder why. I start to think that she is under age and so is dressing like that so they can't tell. Or that the school is going on a field trip and wants everyone to looks uniform.

They all line up in this very long line. As more people start to file in behind them, I notice this one man who comes in, looks around and sees all the suspicious blue people, and turns around and walks away. As he was hesitating, I come to realize how suspicious it is that all these blue people are in line at the same time as well. As the man is exiting the building, I feel like I am in a comedy because there is a guy who I feel familiar with following him. The man starts running as soon as he exits the building, and my guy is running about 20 yards behind him.

The man in front starts making gestures, and its funny because the man behind starts mimicking the gestures. I am really confused but am just watching from a distance, still inside the building. There are now two people following the man in front! The chase starts going up a parking structure.

Suddenly, I am watching from a position on some random floor in the parking structure, and I see from below the guy running up an escalator and getting punched in the face once he gets to the top. The guys start beating him up. Now, I am watching them from an equal level. There are two guys that start dragging the Indian looking guy away and throw him over the side of the parking structure. As they were dragging him, he lost his sandals. I stare at what look like comfy slippers and have this memory of getting yelled at in my frat for leaving out sandals or something vague like that.

Then, Tom and two other guys appear around me and they are sad. Tom says that was he really close friend and he can't believe that just happened. We start to walk away and I rub Tom's shoulders. Tom then walks the other direction. I start to think about how smart Tom is if he wants attention because we are trying to walk to a location, but he is avoiding us at the time he is most in need of our company. So we have a choice to either continue walking and abandon him in his time of need or stop everything that we are doing to focus on him.

Dream 3-- Arcade

I am in an arcade, walking arm-around-shoulder with another guy, who also has is arm around my shoulder. We are basically attached because we are holding on tight. We start walking down this dark staircase and appear in the light of the videogames. There are people playing them, and girls catch my eye. I want to hook up with a girl, but the guy I am with is just continuing to walk forward. Because I keep slowing down and keep getting my head turned we end up facing opposite directions as we are still arm-in-shoulder-locked.

My friend then finds a video game that combines gallaga and pac man and we start to play. He plays pac man first and then dies rather quickly. There are three girls that walk up to us from our left. We see them but dont say anything, they are just standing there talking to each other. My friend then turns to me and says "I don't want to hook up with high school girls." I think about that statement and wonder if I am easy and will just hook up with anyone and whether these girls are actually high school girls.

My turn shows up on the screen and apparently I am playing pac-man as the gallaga ship. I can move around the level and ghosts appear out of the bottom of the screen that I have to dodge. I take off one of my USC hats and put on another. This delay causes me to die. THen I turn around and hear an announcer from another video game say "...and gallaga is busting his nuts..." and I turn to a nearby table of my friends and say DID YOU HEAR THAT? HE SAID GALLAGA IS BUSTING HIS NUTS hahahah... people start cracking up, then I have no idea of I should actually say something else or what to do. My friend next to me says "trape the napes" and someone else says "trape the napes" and they laugh at that more. I think about whether my friends are shy and stupid or whether I am too self-conscious. Or both.
