The Next Holocaust

People were falling into a giant pit thousands of feet deep. Inside the pit there were shafts and poles that some people would hit and land on. Their insides would spill out and even though they had just fallen nearly a mile, they were still condemned to a slow, painful death. I had been one of the people to fall but I was lucky to have not been injured. I was hiding in the corner, hiding between some boxes. The police were looking for survivors to bring back up to the surface so that they could try to kill them again. I tried not to breathe. I held my breath as they passed and tried not to tremble in the dark.

~~~

I was staying at a hotel with my mom. She had left to go into the town/city for a few hours. I was snooping around the grand hotel when I heard some men talking.

"At six'clock we'll take em down to the pit and have them gone," He announced. My heart stopped. From the subtle clues around me, I deduced that we were in a holocaust.

I had to tell my mom not to come back to the hotel. This is where they were planning to round us up at so that they could kill us. I texted mom: Don't come back to the hotel - life is in danger. I will run and see you later.

As soon as I acquired my suitcase, I foraged through it and took out any necessary items that I would need to survive as a hermit. I called Bree to tell her what was happening.

"I'll be gone...for awhile. I'm going to try to escape. Do you want to come with me?" I asked her.

"They've already gave me the notice that I am due there as well," She responded. There was a silence. She was sentenced to death. I didn't want to imagine her dieing - I wanted her to come with me, but she refused.

"Bree, please. If you aren't going to try to escape the least you can do is try to fight back. If you don't run they'll kill you anyways," I pleaded, but she only accepted her fate. I couldn't argue with her anymore, time was running out and I had to flee the hotel.

I sneaked out the front door and scanned the perimeter. In the parking lot stood a Hitler looking figure talking to a small group of 3-4 other soldiers. The lawn didn't have any trees so I couldn't dart while they weren't looking and I couldn't wait until the soldiers went away. My best bet was to just make a run for it...Or I could perhaps act innocent and just walk away with my backpack. I wasn't supposed to know what was going on anyways.

I casually walked down the driveway/parking lot, avoiding suspicion. As soon as I got onto the main road I sprinted away. I listened for any yelling from the soldiers, but all I heard was the word Beowulf.

I came across a lady who was selling a horse. I didn't have much in the way to trade her, but I needed the horse for faster travel. I took the horse and told her that I would pay her back later, I didn't have time to lose.

I rode on horseback until I came upon a lake. I realized that we were on a peninsula and the only way to get back to mainland was to ride past the hotel again, which I didn't want to do at this time. It was nearly 6 PM.

I jumped off the horse and let it eat/sleep. Near the shore of the lake there was a ditch that we could hide in. I decided that it would be best if we tried to sleep during the day and then travel during the night.

Up into Space

I realized that I was late for school! I would only make it for my 5th and 6th hour if I drove there now, but I decided that perhaps that was my best option.

I climbed into the car and drove to a city. Joe was running late too and I was so shocked to see him driving next to me on the freeway that I accidentally flipped my car. It rolled and crashed on the shoulder.

Joe turned around and drove back to me on his epic motorcycle. In my vision I saw "Press O to Ride". I pressed O and now Joe and I were both riding on our own separate motorcycles. We raced over a highway bridge. It made a creepy oooo-ing noise when we passed over it. Joe said that the bridge really creeped him out.

There was a different bridge coming up that was unlike any other bridges that I had ever seen before. The bridge sort of looked like this roller coaster (click). It was a suspension bridge and on either side were white roller coaster tracks. There was no railing.

The bridge allowed for sheer speed, but as it came to an end I couldn't see any connecting road! My motorcycle went UP instead of down and I landed on top of the bridge.

The roof of the bridge was extremely high up in the air. I was probably in New York city. I was above the skyline, high enough up in the air so that when I looked down I couldn't see the ground - it was just fog. Instead of the Statue of Liberty there was a GIANT statue of Megan Fox.

I felt gravity giving away again and I floated high and high until I surpassed the Earth's atmosphere. Once I passed it, I felt as if I had just broken through a barrier. The view was absolutely stunning and in pristine clarity.



I was still being pulled out into space as the Earth shook and became a rocky granite surface. I fell backwards onto something hard and realized that I was on the moon.

I am a young Hawaiian boy during WWII. American soldiers come, and begin altering our house into a base. I think they might kill me. We are afraid of the soldiers and run into the forest.

the dream skips

We are on a dirigible, being transported across the ocean. The blimp is full of war refugees, and rich White people going for a cruise.

I am served some gross overcooked bean soup made from a can. I am used to eating only fresh food. There is some chili stuff also.

They talk about a pool on the blimp.

Everyone must swim! You Hawaiians, teach these people to swim. We are in for a long voyage. These fat asses need exercise. A fat White lady protests swimming. She says she doesn't know how. A soldier yells at her, telling her she has to get exercise, and swimming is the only way on this blimp. Plus, we are flying over the ocean, so she better know how to swim if we get shot down.

People begin shouting about a UN convention protecting passenger aircraft, and the soldier says we need to be prepared for anything. These terrorists, they are animals.

I see a missile coming for us. I see a strange flag on it: There is a gold slash diagonally across it. On the top half is a Chinese flag. The bottom is a mix of Canadian, American, and Mexican flag. There is also a tiny portion that is a flag for the New Government of Central America. There is a strange gremlin riding the missile. It has the flag of Brazil across it's face.

I look at the pilot of the plane. He is an orc on in a leather jacket, leather helmet and goggles. "I'm a Russo-Americo-Jap, bitch!" he says to me. I am horrified. I pray to Kanaloa. The missile hits the balloon part of the blimp, then turns around. Before the missile hits the cabin, I leap through a window. I feel like my soul is leaping, out and my body is staying behind.

Kanaloa is a great octopus. He thrusts his head out of the water, and grabs both my bodies, and pulls them down into the sea. He smashes them together.

He pulls me into the depths. I see beachgirl swimming the other direction, and she waves at me. She's a mermaid.

Suddenly, we are in his Great Chamber, and he speaks to me with his great THIRD EYE.

[I]My son. This is all real. Please understand. This is not a jumble of thoughts created by your mind. This is another reality in a parallel universe, similar, very similar to your own. You are living the life of another you. This happens in dreams, due to the dream plane touching and encompassing all reality. See, the physical planes are just bubbles inside the dream plane. Astral planes are bubbles around the physical ones.

You see me now as Kanaloa, the god of the sea. In your Main World on Matter Earth, I exist in every squid and octopus in the sea. I am every cuttlefish, and every nautilus. The combined intelligence is my sentience. They are all my brain and my body. Beings such as I are called Manifestor-Inhabitors. Just as Lady Datura is every single datura plant on earth, I am every squid. We are all gods. You, He'e child are a god until yourself, and I am here. Every human is its own god unto itself. You have chosen the Matter World of Earth, or the Nightmare World, as We call it, to inhabit. You all have chosen to learn from the Way of Suffering.[/I]

Why would we choose to suffer?

[I]You can learn by doing, by watching, by hearing, by playing, but only learning through Suffering may you become Compassionate. This is the true Essence of Justice. When you have suffered much, you may become a just god. [/I]

Just? To who?

[I]To yourself. You are not to rule over weaker ones. That is weakness. You are not to rule over equals, because they would not allow it. And it is impossible to rule over ones stronger. Therefore you must become a god unto yourself, and completely rule over yourself. In order to do this, you must treat yourself with compassion, and justice. This is the ultimate government: The One-Man Theocracy.[/I]

My mind is being blown. A god from another universe is telling me to become a god over myself.

Kanaloa looks into my soul with his great right eye. I see many colors in his eye. It's beautiful and terrifying. He sees everything I ever have done, am doing, and will do.

[I]Darkness.... Light.... You have an even balance. But, evil you must not do. Evil is to harm others out of malice. Your crown chakra will guide your morality, and your third eye will reveal the path. Dark or light energy can be used for good or evil. The Templars of Urth use light energy for evil. The evil rulers of Earth are third eye blind. They believe Life is a Dream, which is true, but they believe their life is Their Dream, just like an Inner World Dream. They do not realize their Serial Dream is not an Inner World Dream, but a Shared Dream. Therefore, they look at others as Dream Characters, playthings to toy with, to rape and kill, and torture as they please.

There are such Humans in the Dream Plane, invading dreams to rape and kill others' dream bodies. This must stop in order for your Race to vibrate up to Higher Planes of Awareness, Enlightenment. Lucidity is a type of enlightenment. As you are expanding, your enlightenment increases, as you are more and more aware of The Great Suffering. All beings in your planet are suffering. Your species makes everything around it suffer, including other humans. You are all infested with a dark energy parasite from Nevergawn that delights in the suffering of others. EVERYTHING YOU BUY IS CREATED BY THE SUFFERING OF OTHERS SOMEHOW. You cannot help being evil.

The only way to be free is to be free. The only way to stop aiding in the suffering of others is to break free of the Network: The Money System. The purpose of Money is to control others. With money you can can tell people they do not deserve food, because you have it, and they don't. Grow your own food. Restore the aquaculture. Grown your own fish. Then no matter how much someone says you do not deserve food, you have it anyway.

Creepy, scary bugs:

I was out on the balcony and noticed a few centipedes, which were a bit larger than normal ones. I found them a little creepy. However, worse things were to come. When I went out on the balcony after a while again I noticed an even larger centipede (must have been 30 cm long and was rather thick). I got a bit of a shock and also felt disgusted. This centipede started climbing on the metal plates on the balcony. After having climbed a couple of decimeters or so it stopped and turned its head towards me... It had a gross opening which must have been its mouth. It made some kind of hissing sound and seemed to prepare to launch itself towards me. I stood there and began feeling rather anxious and did not know what to do. At the same time my mom walked out on the balcony. I pointed at the weird, mutated centipede and said something. My mom then grabbed it and threw it off the balcony, into a pillar which stood there. When it collided with the pillar a kind of cracking noise was heard and then it fell down on the lawn. However, I was sure it was still alive, since it seemed to have such a thick shell. I felt relieved that it was gone and joked a bit with mom about the creature. I told her that it had reminded me a bit of the dragon Mushu from Mulan when she threw it. Also, I said to her: "I don't think it will be lonely for long, though..." . She agreed and we meant that since "he" was such a large and strong bug he would probably find a partner rather easily.

Shortly after this incident I went outside. I saw a neighbor family approaching (two young parents with two small kids) with their stroller. At the same time I noticed a wasp flying towards me. I got a little frightened (due to my bug phobia) and even more so when the wasp flew even closer. I started hyperventilating and tried to remain still as it flew around me. After a short while I opened my eyes. To my horror it was not gone, but was sitting on my left hand. I tried to remain calm and hoped that it would not sting me. I wondered how painful it would feel if it did and thought to the wasp "please don't sting me, please don't sting me...". Then it appeared to start teasing me, because it moved around, seemed to prepare for the sting, changed its mind and so on... The family with the stroller had gotten even closer now and at the same that I was frightened, I also amused myself with the thought that I could pretend in front of the family that I was seriously allergic to the wasp's sting and therefore was in grave danger. Maybe they would not find it weird then if I looked really frightened.

Fragments:

* I see myself naked from behind and I see that I have extremely long, thick, frizzy hair growing from my butt. I feel very surprised, but then just depressed. As I am looking at it it is growing even more. I am disgusted by myself because of this and think that I remind me of an ostrich or something...

* I get an SMS from my supervisor, where he expresses some positive feelings about my work. I read it two or three times and to my surprise the text changed a bit every time. However, the main meaning of it was still the same and it remained positive. He had also put some smileys and thumbs up-symbols in it.

* I am writing down some of my dreams in the notebook next to my bed (rather much text with details), but some of the dreams I wrote down, I realised after having awakened, I had not even had.

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Good morning. Same as always, I don't get enough sleep when I'm working. I recalled two dreams from last night though, and the last one was so weird.

11.30: Bedtime

05.15: Bad review
I'm watching a guy review this coffee machine. I had some coffee from it before, and it tasted great! Monica wants one for christmas. "Tassimo" Anyways the guy shows me how it really sucks. He pours the foamy coffee on the top, and it goes down on the bottom. "It tastes so bad" he tells me. "Worst buy ever"

05.15: Spies?
I'm standing in a hallway with a guy with no shirt on (must be from Date Night I watched yesterday) and we are some kind of spies. There are cops everywhere outside of the house. The guy I'm with quickly opens the door, and takes a look. He comes back with some kind of blow dart arrows in his hand, and one on his back which he grabs and breaks off into two pieces. "This is great, we'll use these" he tells me. I grab a few of the finger-thick, grey metal bars. We run out of the door. There are cops everywhere, but they don't seem to do anything. I ram a few of the bars into them, rendering them unconscious. "These sleeping darts are very effective" I think, and we run into another house.

We go from room to room, looking for people. I have an axe in my hands, and we find someone. The person isn't to be saved, so we walk on. I spot someone hiding in a bed, and I remove the blanket. A girl is there, and I know we have to save her. This is where it gets weird. I drag the girl down on the floor, but the girl is a kitten. "I will save you" I say and raise the axe while holding the kitten down. "No! Wait!" the girl cries out. "Who made you save me?" I try to hold her down, so I can cut her head off. "Who is saving me?!" she yells at me. Just as I am about to chop her head off. My alarm goes off, and the sudden rush of fear and anger makes me change my mind. "I will not save you anymore" I say. And let her go.

05.15: Wake up

Amount of sleep: 5½ hours

Supplements before bed: 2 x Omega-3

That's it! Both were filled with some kind of anxiety. I will try to turn lucid this week. I AM going to turn lucid.

Keep on dreaming, HARE BRA!

Spelunking with The Doctor
Recall: 7/10
Sleep: Great
Sleep Position: Unknown

I'm in some caverns, swimming with some guy who wants to set off a stick of dynamite. Apparently the explosion is supposed to be fun somehow, when the shockwave in the water hits us. The first time he goes to throw the dynamite, we figure it's too close at 100 meters. We back off to 150 meters, and the guy says the shock wave will probably rough us up a bit, but we'll survive.

I have my doubts that setting off dynamite in this cavern is a good idea. The whole place doesn't look very stable, and I fear it will collapse the entire cavern. Plus there are concession stands in the main area of the cave, one selling coffee and one selling gemstones.

Back in the main area, Doctor Who points out that there's something odd about the stand selling gemstones. He says it's impossible for them to have downloaded so many large gemstones into the cave. We ask to take a look at some of the gems, and I pop a large one into my mouth while the sales people aren't looking. Then I put another one into my pocket and we leave and go to our room in the cave. This girl enters bragging how she stole 3 gems, and I don't mention the two I took since she one upped me.

We notice that the cave is being invaded by little slimy slug creatures, showing up en masse in the water streams. The Doctor says they will destroy the entire ecosystem, then tells me to try feeding my gemstones to the slugs. I put a white one and a blue one in their path, and they go up to then and begin to eat the gems with loud crunches.

The Doctor concludes we need lots more gemstones to offset the slugs, but the concession stand selling them is closed. A couple of other people have a large bag of ice and a device that condenses the ice into gemstones. We take our ice gems into a cave shaped like a sloping theatre with water and fish at the bottom. The slugs have completely invaded it. We toss the gemstones into the water, and the slugs swarm them, eating them and releasing a certain chemical as they do.

The chemical cleans the water, improves the health of the fish, and causes the tomato plants on the shore to grow all the way to the roof of the cavern.

Bicycle Police
Recall: 6/10
Sleep: Great
Sleep Position: Unknown

I've been doing laundry at some woman's house, and we're taking the last load to the laundry matt to dry them. They take their car, and I ride a bicycle. As I peddle down the street, there are soem official government types in the way. I try to steer around them, but they keep moving directly in front of me.

"Get the fuck out of the way!!!" I yell in frustration. The oldest of the trio comes up to me and tries to slap a metal gear plate onto the gears of my bike for being so rude, but I don't let him. He then orders a young red headed woman to put her plate on my bike, which would lock up the gears.

I grab the metal gear plate from the redhead and the old man and throw them like ninja stars off the bridge and into the water, then begin to push my bike up the hill. I look behind me as I go to see the old man sneaking up on me. Every time I turn my head, he's a little bit closer, but freezes when I look at him. I keep an eye on him until I'm over the hill, then pedal as fast as I can so he can't catch up to me.

So, I was in the large conservatory room of some house. It was nighttime, I believe.
The conservatory had a single glass pane, which comprised the whole wall. It was more of a single huge window at one side of the house, actually.
I was non-lucid at this point. I walked into a lounge area, right next to the glass wall.
My older sister was sitting in a comfy looking chair. We spoke, but it obviously wasn't important because I don't remember what we said.

I started play-fighting with her, but I suddenly became aware of the possibility that I was dreaming.
Unsure, I stepped back and looked around the room. It was quite small now, and it had shelves along the walls, which were lined with sturdy mugs. I said something like:
"Hang on, I think this is a dream" to my sister.
I stretched out my arm, hand open, pointing at a mug. I willed it to fly into my hand, trying to exert a gravitational pull.

Nothing.

I tried again.

Nothing.

Then it clicked - I only needed to imagine the mug flying into my hand, and it would!
So that's what I did. I pretended the mug was actually flying into my hand at that moment, and guess what?
It whipped off the shelf and landed in my hand, in milliseconds.

Unfortunately, my satisfaction was short-lived. As all the possibilities of what I could do hit me, the dream quickly degenerated into me walking around the house and deleting blocks, now in a game of Minecraft.

A spark of lucidity flickered inside me:
"Must try and get back to... before..."
I thought, before that spark was snuffed out, and my feeble effort to gain control faded.

I'm definitely stressed about finals week and I think last night was no exception. I barely recall anything.

It was fall/Halloween time. All the houses were massively decorated and children were outside running around. I was inside attempting to throw little creepy spiders and spiderwebs out the windows but all the windows were so blocked that the spiders would get stuck in the decorations on the house. A girl from my job was there trying to help me. She was late for work and ran up the road to a restaurant.

Next think I remember is an older man, 40-50s, hitting on me and me flirting back. We started to head back to his place and I woke up.

I am a huge fan and player of hockey. So i always have dreams about hockey. This dream was about me and some team playing in front of millions of people. I had finished my shift on the ice and went back to the bench. Some black kids were sitting near me and i put down my gloves so i can fix my skates really quick. After fixing my skates i notice my gloves are gone. I couldn't skate for the rest of the game which was 11:60(time left on the clock) which is extremely weird and that was one of my reality checks. However right after i lost my gloves my dream completely switched to sitting in my car with my family and these black kids. I was really angry at them so i threatened to choke them if they didn't tell me where my gloves are. And that's exactly what i did. After the black kid started choking me, i had woken up. When i went back to sleep, i wanted to attain lucidity so i was half asleep half awake but could imagine myself in this dream again. I had become lucid for my first time, however i could not last long.

All I could remember was that I came home and there was an iPad sitting on the coffee table.
All I could think was "What an unbelievably HUGE WASTE OF MONEY!!! GRRRRR" rage

I also remember randomly being in a bushy place with a friend and some people were driving a car.

This is one of those frustrating dreams. So the dream starts with me and my best friend are standing outside a club at the end of the night and we are with these two girls, hook ups i guess. The dream gets going when we decide to go some place else where we can spend the night. I don't know why we didn't go back to my house but all four of us are looking for a place with beds. Now beds seem to be the main point of this dream because i keep mentioning it and we keep asking people, as if they would just let us use them lol. We end up in what looks like a boarding school or a university campus, but old school university. At first i thought I was my uni but I didn't recognize the places so it was more of the generic image of a university like Oxford and Cambridge etc. Anyway, we go around the place and it's pretty dark and empty. Theres other people wandering around aswell. We bump into my best friends ex, who got a bit weird after they broke up. She starts asking him questions like who are they and what we are up to. We end up ditching her but after more searching, we realize she was with us the whole time and she was bad mouthing us to the girls. We finally find beds and the girls are like aw yeah I dont want to anymore, i have to go blah blah blah. My friend gets pissed and he's saying things like " don't listen to her, she's just trying to fuck me over" and more shit along the of that. After some talking I decide to let the go because it looked pathetic in front of the other people in the room who i hadn't noticed till right then.
Then the dream skips to me in bed with another girl who is a good friend of mine and we used to work together. We are joking around and talking and kinda snuggling in since it was freezing in the room. Then she kisses me and we are going at it a bit then she stops just before we do it and says "gemma said you thought i was hot and I'm only doing this because i know your not going to take this too seriously." the she looks around for something and says " a shit i don't have a condom so i guess we cant do it"
Mean while in my dream im absolutely raging thinking twice in one night! I don't even try and talk her into it for some reason and she role off and goes to sleep, and that's when i wake up.

This has been the most pathetic dream ive hard ever! Lol, no condom?! It's a dream for crying out loud! Friends ex cockblocking me for no reason, looking for a bed. Just a poor show by my dreamself lol.
Maybe it's because i had an exam today, since ive never had a dream like this before.

Second entry so far.

Basically at home we were eating dinner, at the table and my bro was putting dishes into a dishwasher why we were at the table. I remember him doing a sloppy job like usual and I remember chicken drumstick falling on the floor.

Somehow we managed to get to some other room and he was doing stuff with some girl. I don't think I spent much time there.

Anyways, next I was in some school that seemed like a castle.Grey Stony Walls. Gargoyles and stuff like that. Mr. Wilson ( a teacher) was yelling at students for fooling around and bringing in their pets. He yelled at some kid named Craig because he brought his hamster to school and it was making a lot of noise. Craig was sitting beside a vent or something and promised never to do it again.

I think class was dismissed but I remember leaving over something like a balcony thing and when I looked down I could see kids coming through a corridor. I tried sniping (I like video games) but I failed at it. I either missed (though I actually did have recticles! LOL) or I guess if I did "hit" them nothing happened. They say me and tried running. I apparently "ran out of bullets". I saw one of my friends moe look at me and grin as he ran away.

Then I stopped looking over the balcony and some some girls I knew were coming by. I had a small P99 pistol (From a game called Golden Eye) and I whispered to my friends too "look" so as the girls I pointed like a laser from the gun onto their head, and they didn't notice, and neither did her friend's BF (the girl I point the gun at is Isa) My friends were laughing because she didn't notice though I was pointing the laser all up and down her body.

For some reason when she walked by she came up to my and "bum rushed" and I was like wtf and then I woke up because of my alarm clock.

Real life Dream Lucid Nightmare Dream sign
For me to remember, dreams are #067300, and lucid dreams are the color below blue, #4169e1. Nightmares are dark red, #8b0000, and dream signs are the light purple, which is up one and left one from blue, #483d8b.

I learned a lot from these two lucids. One thing is it really is easy to lose lucidity in a dream. The other is don't get startled in a dream...

Center party
We had a party for our Center. (It's like a specialized part of a school, ours is high school) I was already inside, and I was waiting for others to come in. I was in a dark room and it was night time. People started entering.

Suddenly I became lucid. The girl I like came over to me and asked me to help her get someone else at the Center away from her. He kept trying to hug and kiss her and she was annoyed.

I tried to Falcon Punch him but it failed. Nothing happened. I suddenly had a funny thought. I created a glowing thing that looked like a fairy from the Legend of Zelda and made the fairy fountain music come from it.He followed it, mesmerized, (because he was an avid gamer) and I told her it would probably keep going for a few miles, so we had nothing to worry about.

At some point in this dream I lost lucidity. We had about 30 people coming to the party. I looked around and saw a party room in the distance. We walked over there. On our way there we saw a large group of women doing stretches.

Then we finally got to the party area. There was a pool and then two concession stands with gorillas as staff. We played in the pool for a while, probably about 20 or 25 minutes.

Then the gorillas quit. They were getting too much business and were getting frustrated over how they only got $1.99 an hour. I said "Wait!". They looked and I said they could have the extra food too. They smiled and we all partied!


Would-be nightmare
I was in a dark room, looking at a creepy person, on some slate bed. I became lucid seconds after the dream started. I was startled at how quickly I had become lucid. The creepy guy suddenly died and fell off the bed and I looked around. There were doors and three people.

The middle one, a girl, said some spell to immobilize me. I don't remember what she said, but I do remember it felt like cotton was pressing around all my limbs and I couldn't fight past it. I tried to break free using dream powers but failed. Maybe I lost my powers because I startled myself? I thought, Crap. I woke myself up.

I felt tired early, so I figured I'd go to bed at 10:00. I wake up at 1:30 from a dream and now I can't get back to bed. I figure I might as well write what I remember.

I was at Northwestern, but a different Northwestern. It resembled ours in locations of buildings, but they weren't as tall and there was a definite slope down from North to South campus. Also, there were many more gravel-paved roads. (When I dream about Northwestern, it is almost always this version.) I was getting back from something and then decided to get in disguise and join a couple in a van later that day. I carried a textbook and a basketball with me. The white van was parked on a basketball court behind a gym. The man in the couple had a mustache like Lt. Dangle from Reno 911! and they both dressed like tourists, as did I. As I circled the van to get in, there began a bunch of bickering like an old married couple, and I decided to throw in knowledge from my textbook about the peculiarities of marsupial birth. When asked why, I scrawled on the side of the seat as I got in, "I TALK ABOUT KANGAROO REPRODUCTION SO WE DON'T HAVE TO TALK ABOUT OUR MARRIAGE." Even though we were in a van, we stepped into a couple of elevators lit with art nouveau-style lights. We did so without any memory of leaving the van. On the second elevator, people stepped out of our way as we got on, and one of the couple said the only thing that hadn't been said in character, along the lines of "At least we have a little recognition down here." It then occurred to me that in joining the couple, I was infiltrating a cult that was trying to brainwash the student body. We continued driving and bickering until we got down south, arriving in a downtown Evanston that looked like the town square from Groundhog Day. There was a guy in black and red playing violin, and it was one of the most sad, beautiful chord progressions I had ever heard. The mustached man and I dumped a bucket's worth of coins into his hat, and at that point the violinist and I chatted about how if you got enough money, you could get Mack truck merchandise to sell. It was a lucrative business, apparently. Jump cut to the image of a Mack truck hauling manure down a highway, then to a shot from an NBC promo for a reality show that would involve the contestants having to carry the manure to places. He was wearing jean shorts, had fallen over, had some manure on him (it looked more like overcooked spinach than actual manure), and was addressing the camera. Then I woke up.

I had a number of dreams, but most of them were simple and short glances.

For example, in one dream, I saw someone driving down a highway in the middle of a dessert. Then, as soon as it got there, the dream seemed to end since i don't remember much else.

Later on, I had a slightly longer dream. In this one, I was around 6 years old and my parents had taken me to a toy store. They seemed to be wanting to buy me a controller of some sort for a gaming console. The controllers were shaped like gloves, and I assumed that one would put them on to play a game. I remember only looking at the box of one of these.

Then, the dreams ended and i woke up.

I was speaking to my best friend's sister about adding her on facebook. She was just nodding in agreement. However my best friend was not too happy with the invite because he thought i was trying to harass his sister. I don't remember much more.
