dream 11/20
One Part:
Small group of us went through a security line and were getting guided through a military base of some kind. We went up some stairs then down some stairs, all very precise. We pass some other people on the stairs, they have bright pastel-colored hooded jackets and sweatshirts on with their heads down and their hoods covering their faces. I have to run out to get something. When I come back, the security people ask for my ID. I tell them my group just went through, so they let me in. I find a staircase and start retracing.
Now we're just going up stairs (I think i found my group but maybe not). We go up tons of stairs, all in a really large winding pattern. I am going fast and pass several other people. All of a sudden, I get to a point where I see a person coming down the stairs, frozen into a rock. Someone I'm with points out it's not a good sign that these people turned back. As I go up further, the only people I see are facing down statues. I am determined though, so I run up the stairs. All of a sudden, there's a wall and nowhere to go. It ends at a dark brick wall. I am not turning back, so I bang on the wall and say something about I will not die up here. The wall starts to give a little, and I see some hinges on one side. It's really a door. I push it open slowly and find a big room with lots of people sitting around at tables and on the floor. They are facing me, blank expressions. I walk in, somewhat triumphant, and take a seat. There's no way out of this room though, it seems. I think through things in my head. My friend, will they make it through the wall/door? Apparently there's a threshold if you turn back to go down the stairs. Up to this threshold that you can't pass, you'll be turned to stone. That explains all the statues. Basically, we should have turned back when we saw that first stone person.
Another part:
Our studio group (and some random other people) are in some military base place. we're sitting around a long table, and we have some things pinned on the wall to present. I have a big board, looks like it's on brown cardboard so when someone's done presenting and we're taking a break, i go pin mine up. Heidi is trying to put something up too, but says she doesn't need a whole lot of space. I have these two little raffle ticket-like things too. I don't know where to put them, I don't want to poke holes in them for some reason, so I slip them in between a pin and my board to hold it in place. I go sit down, and realize I still don't have much showing my biotic models. I think through the drawings I have in my head, I don't have anything else to put up. As I'm running through my presentation in my head, I realize I don't have a picture of the nanoscale surface structure either. Maybe I can draw it on the chalkboard? That would be tacky and there's not much space, oh well. I'll just describe it. Pillars.
We have a 2-3 hour break, apparently. When I get back (from lunch?), I find some of our group hanging around drinking. What are we going to do for 3 hours? Everybody's done with their break and bored. I say something in a British accent (I guess we're in england) about how we only needed half an hour, what are we going to do with more than that? Joni's poured out some white wine, there's three cups in a row near my seat. There were three of us at that end of the table, and i remember 3 cups of something else before. I sneak my head in the door and she asks if I want some wine and points to the cups. I guess i will. Then we are at another doorway somewhere, standing and talking. Adam walks over wearing a dirty blond wig (shoulder length with bangs) and a pale neon green fitted jacket with a yellow shirt. It's so bright. I tell him it's better than the rob zombie costume, but he looks girly. It must be the bangs! Yeah, definitely the bangs. He heads for the exit door.
We're sitting back at our table now, and someone is handing out costumes. I get a snow white dress (i think?). I slip it over my head and clip the back on over what I'm already wearing. Someone across from me (joni?) has an alice dress, really simple with a black cut out heart on it. We're all getting disney princess dresses. There's a taller girl back behind whoever's at our table who has this awesome long black edged dress and is the queen of hearts. She has long black straight hair and looks great in the dress (I know her in my dream but not sure if i really do). I wish i got that dress. There were a couple of alice in wonderland dresses, that one was the best. I look at my pinned board, there's three pictures of alice in wonderland dresses now. It would have made sense if I had one of those costumes instead, so it made sense when I presented.
Somehow we're outside, and everyone's drunk and things have been broken. The watches and clocks are all broken or the batteries are dead. I go inside to grab my yellow watch, it's still running. I kind of hide it when I take it out though. Two people in our group grabbed a professional video camera and are documenting all the things we've broken. They're making us look like rowdy drunk americans. I go to our side group sitting by a tree and show them my watch is still fine. Shh, hide it! We'll need it later I guess. People are showing me things from behind a long table. This watch is broken. Is it broken, i ask, or the battery's just dead? oh, the battery's dead. The next girl down the table shows me a case of eggs. what's wrong with those? She points out a plate with two of the eggs cracked open: they're rotten, you can't eat these! I don't see the eggs, but I get the idea their yolks are greenish.
