I knew I was behind, but not by this much!
Well, looks like I haven't posted a dream in over 2 months, and I've had 4 since the last one, so I'll just paste them all in. Not much to make a post about, except that I'm glad I'm back at school. It feels like I have too many work hours, but I really don't. I must get back in the habit of doing homework though. That's a big one. Anyway, for Tim, here are the dreams (there might be a repeat or two, I can't be sure):
------------------------------------------------------------
This dream was focused much more on a specific place, rather than an activity that went on there. It was in a forest area, but pretty well travelled, perhaps a logging route at one point. There were a couple of fallen over rotted trees, and the main path ran perpendicular to the slope of the hill it was on. Down the hill was an open area, probably ending in a lake. The tree density up the hill was fairly sparse. Ok, on to the plot. Preliminarily, it started in a big house, and we (me and some people I couldn't identify) were in a living room watching TV, and there were two large picture windows looking out into the woods. I suddenly hear a rapid tapping noise coming from one window behind me, but everyone else hears it behind them too. We discuss, and determine that it's a woodpecker somewhere outside.
Then a jump to me, riding a 4x4 through a party. The terrain was inspired by the Cartographer level, what with the warthog and all. So there was a big buffet table, and kids running around, and a guy taking a drink of punch. Definitely remember the guy drinking punch. So I blow past the party and come to the first place I described. Suddenly, I'm on a bike, and Shaun and Heather are there, and we're getting ready to race down the hill. We pause in our preparations because the everyone at the party starts singing the ALTERNATE theme to Salute your Shorts. When they finish, we start the race, but immediately stop, because there's a problem with socks. For some reason, there's a big box of red and blue socks, of different sizes, and we keep fumbling around trying to get the right combination of socks. After a grueling search process, one of us ends up with a sock that is way too small, and only covers the toes. Dream over.

This dream took place at my kitchen table at home, only there was more room around the back. There were several of us, Mark, Shaun, Brian, all playing this game. The game had both playing cards and these small chips that had writing on it. At the beginning of the hand, you're dealt 6 cards, then each turn you pick up a chip. Then you play something on someone else. I had thought it was just the chips you could play, because they had clear instructions. For example, a dark blue chip I picked up said "In 4 turns, the ghost in the center of the table will attack the player with the most cards." Then I asked shaun if I could play my cards on someone, for example, you could play a straight or a full house on someone. That was good, because I was dealt 4 aces, a king, and a skip card. I was just about to play it, when Tim walked over with a sculpture made out of pizza bites, asking if anyone was hungry. We all had one, then my alarm went off.

Well, been more than a month since I've had a dream vivid enough to remember to write down. This took place behind Harrington Auditorium. There were about 10 long tables lined up parallel to the field, and there were 2 computers on each, facing the field. I don't know why we were having this LAN party right there, but it wasn't a very good one. I remember first trying to change my system clock, because it said it was January 5, 1898. I kept trying to put it at January 1, 2004, but each time either the year would be wrong, or the day would be wrong. Finally, I tried it again using Apply (rather than OK) and it said it could not make the change because a program was using it. Suddenly Brian was to my left saying, sarcasticly, "I don't know who it could be" while pointing to Aubrey, who was to his left. He was playing gunbound, which didn't have anything to do with the system clock, but I decided to forget about that and join him. Shaun was also playing, but that's as far as I got.
Time of Dream: Between 1:30pm and 1:36pm (I think) 12/30/03
Food: None.
------------------------------------------------------
Three segments to this dream: First, I was in a mall, of some sort, and I think I was working at one of the stores. A matress store, perhaps. There was a competition going on dealing with lighting. I don't know how big the mall was, but the only stores involved had this passageway that ran behind all the stores. Also, each store had one part of the wall that faced this passageway made out of cloth, or some other material that allowed light to get through. And the judging of this competition would be made from that back hallway. It might have been Christmas themed, but my store saw that everyone had basically the same thing. We decided we needed purple lightning. Our biggest rival, some sort of department store, Sears perhaps, already had purple lightning, but they used Christmas lights that you'd put on a tree. We were going to get a stage light, and then cut out paper in the form of lightning.
Second part of the dream: The only person I remember in the dream was Christ St. P, and he was on a Mario binge. He was playing the first one, then the second one, and I asked why he wouldn't play the third, and he kept saying that "It's wierd" or "It doesn't work". He wouldn't tell me anything more about it. Finally I got him to play it, and all that seemed wierd was that he couldn't hold down a button, like he was playing it on an emulator. Then, I'm suddenly inside the game, watching Mario. The game wasn't anything like the real game... Mario was jumping around, but he had to collect these letters. All I remember were K and N, but I don't know their purpose. Then, Mario had to make this long jump over this big gap. So he turned on super speed, but he didn't bring the ramp, so he didn't make it.
Third part took place exclusively in the upstairs of my house. Nobody I knew was there, but I had been folding laundry in my room (or at least organizing it) and talking to someone. There must have been a war going on, and there were several sides to it, but one side, I think they were Hobbits, I said were not likely to fight. I had a pillow that had some caked on dirt or something, so I took a twig and scraped it off. Then I went to my dad's room, and on the way, someone in armor and carrying a sword was going downstairs, saluted me, and said "Better to be a friend, than have no enemies" or something strange like that, and then walked away. So I went into my dad's room, and there was a conference being held around the bed. There was a lot of talking, but I can't remember any of what was said.
