          So sleeping until noon allows one to actually have dreams they remember, and I just had a freaking action packed one.

I'm at Davis hanging around a big parking lot, and I'm trying to find a ride home for vacation.  There are other people around me with their luggage and stuff, but they KNOW how they're getting to wherever they're going, and there are taxis and airport shuttles around.  Suddenly I see someone I know in this particular dream played by Aaron Schmidt.  He's tearing across the campus, and I yell after him and he says "I've got to catch the van!  I've got to catch the van!"  He must be talking about a transport van that runs between Davis and Santa Barbara!  Short chase scene with me running flat ou trying not to lose sight of him so I know which lot to go to, to see if I can stiull buy a ticket.

We eventually get to the lot, and I expect to see an idling van, waiting for the last person before they leave, but instead there's this scraggaly guy who just beginning to set out the "SB/DAVIS shuttle" sign.  So I say something like "You're going to Santa Barbara right?  Can I still buy a ticket?"  And the guy goes "We're not going to Santa Barbara, this trip we're going to stop a little north of there"  I point out that it says Santa Barbara on his sign and on his SB shuttle vest, but none of the other passengers seem too worried.  SO I ask one more time "where exactly is this van going?"  and he says "Tahoe.  It's East and North of Santa Barbara, but closer than here"   At this point driver's demeanor changes and he gets angry, wants to know if I'm coming or not, and then says I can't buy a ticket, that actually the van is full.  That's when I notice that on his photo ID driver badge, the photo is gone.  On the ID plaque in the car, the photo is also gone.  He starts the car without waiting for one of the passengers to load her luggage and starts to drive off, so I grabbed one of several little girls out of the open door I was next to.

I'm carrying her across a huge parking lot now, trying to keep these big sycamore trees between the van and us, which is now idling through the rows and looks like it's coming after us.  Then it sees us, cuts across a row and through a bush so we know it's definitely after us.  I'm running across the lot, hoping he'll hit a tree or something, and eventually I get hit by the car while I'm carrying the girl, but I don't get hurt, just dazed for a while, and I keep running to the buildings at the other end of the lot.  There I see a (black) policeman/security guard who I call out to, but the driver is already oiut of the car and doing the same thing.

...and then I wake up.
