I took a nap in the Marriott Library, and this is what I dreamt. Two parts.
A
I was leaving the Kingsbury Hall, or perhaps some other building with a crowded exit, large (but not large enough) doors, and similar lighting at night. I was chatting with a young man to my left-- he was a brunet (dark brown or black,) probably younger than I (late teens, early 20's?) mostly due to a somewhat immature social skillset. We were talking and I found myself enjoying his company, enough to want to get to know him better. Sierra was on my right and suddenly she said "Yeah... but she's only interested in causal sex," referring to me. I was very pissed, and I was about to confront her with anger and frustration (possibly violence too-- if I didn't have my hand raised and poised to strike her I was certainly thinking it) when she morphed probably 50 pounds heavier and started to cry. I didn't have the heart to do anything but stop, ask her if she wanted to talk, and slowly let my anger go.
In retrospect I probably envisioned her morphed when crying because jealousy is an ugly, ugly thing, and I suspect she felt jealous of how easy it was for me to talk to men.
B
I was leaving the Marriott Library at night: there were some clouds but it was mostly clear. Some snow was on the ground, and the front of the library (by the parking lots) was much grassier than normal-- like the hill behind the HC. Walking NWW I saw initially 2 tan figures gliding in the snow. They were male deer and then a third appeared: a mountain lion, chasing them in my direction. I ran with the deer until I saw the lion coming and then observed. He chased only one deer, and the second deer stopped running and observed, much like me. The deer was chased up the hill (SSE,) turned back down the hill and caught the lion off guard, then proceeded to chase him away.
The lion became a doe and the three deer ran past me (NNE) into more wild areas of campus. I chased them and could keep up pretty well; I was having an absolute blast, but they were still out of my reach. As I got nearer and nearer they got smaller and smaller until three oddly shaped snow balls could barely jump over snow dunes made by feet, and as I approached they shrank until they were no larger than ping pong balls. One snowball puff of a deer eluded my outstretched hand and floated away...
