Second, at least, in a string of recent North Central dreams. Started out with me, just arrived and cleaning out my old locker. Found a bunch of old papers, old wallet with money in it, clothes, etc. Cut to night, Leah and I are on a rooftop naked, kissing and about to have sex when we realize that on three sides of us are the girls' dorms. They're all staring at us through their windows. Leah disappears for a second, then returns with a postcard from one of them saying something ending in "Kiss him for us, I know I would!" At this point, Leah's involvement in the dream ends. I'm standing there in front of them all, and they're all standing in their windows and they begin to sing. It's beautiful, and the disappointment at having to leave washes over me, as well as the expectation that I will not be able to stay again. I begin to cry, and walk away. I pass through an auditorium looking for Leah where a senior is giving his final performance, and I see Dr. Drago. I stop to say hi, move on. Leah isn't there, so I leave. For some reason, I'm still naked, holding a clump of clothes against myself. At this point, my nakedness doesn't matter and no one including myself is really aware of it. A couple of girls see that I'm upset and offer me a cup of hot chocolate with their group at the campus coffee shop which is incorrectly up the stairs from where we are. I appreciate the gesture, but for some reason we never reach the coffee shop. Once again, I am aware of my nakedness, and run into another identical building to get to my dorm to change. As I run up the stairs a few students stare at me in the foyer. Returning to my old mischievous self, I call to them as soon as I'm out of sight, pretending to be a figure of authority, and joke "Students, that young man is extremely inappropriate and must be kicked out immediately!" They find this very funny. I burst through the door of my empty dorm room and wake up.

The world had been taken over by a totalitarian regime, so Leah and I decided to escape to Peru. We took a plane there, and then as we left the airport we saw an endless column of tanks rolling out to take over the place. Leah and I avoided them and went out of the city. As we were walking across a field a little ways out, we saw a military train carrying tanks going by next to the field. There was a 10-foot tall pedestal in the middle of the field that I had not noticed before, and it had a rocket launcher mounted on the top. A boy ran out to it at about the last third of the train, and began shooting at the cars, blowing several up. Leah and I kept going; I was unsure if I would have attacked the train myself had I seen it, or kept my distance. We went into the woods bordering the field, and a river ran past through it with large concrete steps leading down the bank to it. They were mossy and slippery. A group of teenage-20 year old boys showed up and began harassing a smaller group of younger boys who were there already. I tried to lead Leah away from them, but we could only go through them to get where we were going because of the river. The leader of them noticed me as I walked past him reclining on the steps and asked me (without really giving me an option) to join him. I told him no, thank you and he explained that I didn't really have a choice because someone as good-looking as me was going to be with him. I stomped my foot right next to his face and explained that I was not going anywhere, and went on my way. They began to give chase, and then I woke up.

2 dreams this time.

1. Playing intramural volleyball at NCU. Didn't really want to, but for whatever reason it was the way out of the situation. Fit in with usual feelings of not
being where I belong. Really small court in a corner of a massive recreational center. Court was so small I got down on my knees and was able to play in my space.
Each side had about 9 people in it, so we were tight. Other player who was actually a friend screwed up and missed a ball and I was mean and said 'Oh, come on!" for which I felt bad.

2. Dark umber/brown land, orange/brown sky. Everything is a burnt coloration in a desert. There is a town in the distance along a road, and a house on the road outside of town. Several rough cowboyish characters are attacking me, I defend against them and they run away. Another ruffian comes up, not attacking me. He attacks them and chases them off. He's got a big bowie knife and a rough face. As we walk through this house there's blood everywhere; smeared on the walls, floors, etc. He tells each story of each bloodsmear. "This one was from when they cut off Jim's head", etc. We walk back outside and a lady is walking by. She hears the stories and sees some of the blood. "These bloodstains are so horrible!" she says. "I hope no one has to paint any more of them," the rough guy says.

I was wandering around in a pretty run-down residential area. There were gaps in all the fences and everything was black and white. This charcoal-black dog came up to me and wouldn't leave me alone. The dog had black antlers too, that all curved in one direction, off to the side. I tried pushing him away at first and he wouldn't leave, so I cautiously let him be, and he just hung out next to me. I still didn't like it very much. There was a big black spider that was hanging out with me, and he could talk. We started exploring together. Ben Zarling started popping up at intervals. A cop stopped by, apparently checking to see what we were up to. She was older, about 40ish, black, with dreadlocks under her cop hat. She kept following us while trying to make it look like she was checking out other stuff as we entered a house. In the house was a hallway with what looked like jail cells on the right side. We started trying to figure out a way to knock out the cop lady, and the spider suddenly took he side. Ben told me to just squish the spider, so I hit him with a baseball. When I hit him a couple times, a gem popped out, a big gem, like 1 cm ruby with some red blood on it from the spider. I recognized the gem from (i guess) a previous dream in which I knocked a gem from another character and it made them search unstoppably for the gem, and they could also not be killed when separated from it. There was a small dark hole in the wall in the back corner of the hallway and another under some broken stairs that led to nowhere. The cop lady caught up with us and started looking for me in the first hole, while I hid under the stairs. The spider gave her a hint to look under there, and she started rubbing dirt off of a stair, which was clear plastic. I gave up and came out of my hiding spot, and since I wasn't yet doing anything illegal she couldn't do anything yet. I still didn't want her there and she wouldn't go away, like the dog, although I felt better about the dog by now. I then went into the first hole in the wall and there was just a bunch of dark ruins in there. The floors, walls, and ceilings of a series of rooms was all made of bricks, and pretty much every floor wall or ceiling had collapsed parts. Through a large gap in the floor I could see a a bunch of other rooms in the floor below, all with large piles of fallen brick. We picked out way carefully into adjoining rooms and that's all I remember.
