#57 Jump In the River

I was a passenger in a car. R was driving. A storm had pushed a lot of brush to the edge of the road, but it was all rooted in the ground. The brush was dense!

We came upon an Oak tree that must have been 100 years old. It was huge...and leaning at a 30° angle. I mentioned it was very dangerous to go under it, but R didn't care. In my mind I went through a dialogue with her about that, but didn't actually say anything about how it was very dangerous whether or not she wanted to see it.

Then we came upon a couple small trees that had fallen across the street. we drove right through them. I thought the car must be split some way so that the top part of the car could go over the trees and the bottom part could go under it. I couldn't really make sense of it though.

Then I was walking down a dirt road. I saw cliffs jutting out from the road due to the storm. Strange animals were on these outcrops, evenly distributed on the little cliff. The first cliff had snow.

I then walked past a DC. Down the road I gave a really dumb laugh, and the DC copied me. I suddenly became lucid, and thought I'd jump off the road, and onto a lower part of the land. Then I saw a flowing river and thought I'd jump in it. It looked really dangerous, so why not do it?

I looked at my hand to make sure I was really lucid, and even vocalized that I was going to make sure I was lucid. I saw my 5 fingers, and as usual, they became six fingers on a distorted hand.

I decided to jump in the fast part of the river, but the DC from earlier pushed me in the slow part. I then got nervous, but decided to just relax. I then saw my body from 3rd person perspective and relaxed. I breathed as though I were not in the water.

I then saw a red dot, and started to come out of lucidity.

I then saw tape of a Falcons game running backwards. Hundreds of people were running backwards. Then it went forward in slow motion and I saw Julio Jones juking guys with absolute mastery.

Then I was at the little league falcons game, and I had lost my sons Julio Jones jersey. IWL he has a Tony Gonzales shirt/jersey.

So... first dream-bits of the new year.

1. Riding horses to pack down soil that was recently plowed up.

2. Eating entire bags of carrots and celery at a picnic because I didn't want a ham sandwich.

3. A strange version of Bejeweled keeps booting itself and my laptop up.

4. Finding our family's cat, Sophie, in a cabin at a national park that had evidence of a bear break-in.

5. Investigating a strange hotel where the exterior doors all lead to different dimensions. One of my expedition partners has a wolf on a leash. Near one of the doors, there's a falcon of some sort with a reddish-brown back sitting on a dead tree. I say something along the lines of "Hey, Mr. Falcon" and it perches on my arm. As we all head toward the door, I notice a hot orange glow through the cracks of the door. The wolf starts straying in the opposite direction while its handler tries to pull it back toward the door. I ask the falcon if it thinks going through the door is a good idea, and it responds negatively. So instead of exploring that part of the hotel, we end up eating falafel and scrambled eggs from a food cart.
