Mezzanine

Couldn't remember any dreams from half the night. I kind of remembered one:

I'm outside in like a woodsy area. Maybe by a river. I'm walking along a path and I see this guy and his truck. Then there's this other guy and they're in a confrontation. The feisty guy is super short and he looks over at me and shows me that he has a gun on his hip. So I start walking away and I get on my cell phone as soon as I'm far enough away and call 911. They get on the phone and I'm telling them an address where we're at. (Which is weird because how can a woodsy area by the river have an address??) But I was confused anyway because I didn't know whether I was at North or South whatever street name I gave them. But the address was 1. And while I'm on the phone I find this waterfall and I think this is the only way to get away from the crazy guy with the gun, so I start going down the side of it and then I'm just like fuck it and I get *in* the waterfall and slide down to the bottom which ends up just being dry land.

So at the bottom I find this bmx looking type bike and I'm walking with the bike over to this little sheltered area where there are some teenagers hanging out. I think I told them that they need to get out of there because of the guy with the gun and I don't know where he went. So they start running up this spiraling staircase and I'm trying to follow but I've got this bike, so I can't go up the stairs. I find another way out and then I'm at a bridge but the water level has gone up and no one knows why. So there is no way to get across this river to the other side and I see some people coming to help us but they can't get across from their side either.

Andrea got up to get ready for work and that dream ended. I went back to sleep and dreamed up this:

I'm in some sort of recital. On a stage like the one in elementary school in the cafeteria. Someone's giving directions but I can't see who it is. There's another guy and a girl on the stage with me. I'm not sure what my part is. They's bobbing back and forth together and singing "row row row your boat" and whoever is giving the directions is telling them that with every word they have to perform a new action like put their hands up above their heads or squat down or whatever. I decided I didn't like what was going on here and it was too weird for me so I left and went behind the stage I guess and there was another room. Some people were shooting pool. I'm thinking, sweet, I can get in on this. When it's my turn I have this crazy impossible shot after sinking like three balls and I straight up scratched. I was so embarrassed that I went outside. It turns out that outside is my old next door neighbor's house so I look at my old house next door and whoever moved into it has expanded it and took all the siding off. I looked into the backyard and there were no more hills, it was leveled. And two cars just like my dad owns are in the backyard: a blue 75 corvette stingray and a GTO. I'm wondering if whoever lives there now has stolen my dad's cars!!

I guess I went in to investigate who lives there now because the next thing I know I'm in the house. Only, it's not the same floor plan (maybe it's not the same house??). Then some other people arrive and it's like a game of hide-and-seek. I'm trying to find places to hide and there are tons of doors and I don't know where they all go so I open them to look and I find a good hiding spot and then like five other people come and hide in the room I'm in. I don't even know what we're hiding from. Then I leave the room I'm in and find a door that leads to the attic. I go all the way up to the top and it's a cemetery!! And there's an alarm set up so that you can't go past the top step. I accidentally set the alarm off and I run back down the stairs and find a door that leads outside. Once I get outside I think I'm safe. There's a car parked in front of the house and four guys get out. They come over to me and I think they were all gay. They wanted to tell me to stay low and make sure that no one from the inside of the house can see me from the windows. Then they walk away across the lawn.
