The Brawl

 Sean and I after spending the day at Disneyland meet up with someone to make a trade or something and offer them a ride home. On the way home the car is instead containing not just Sean (in passenger seat) and I, but Rachel (Sean's wife, who is driving) and at least 1 other person in the back with me. As we get closer to home we explain how it's changed getting home now that there's a temple nearby. Also it's Halloween and there's kids flooding the streets. 

One of the kids hits the car hard with an axe and starts to run away a short distance to his parents who have some sort of trunk or treat setup. We drive after him and Rachel encourages Sean to lecture the boy and his parents. He gets out starts yelling at the boy and parents for never punishing him and immediately the boy's dad and Sean start fighting/wrestling. We're all kind of just watching, Sean's doing really well, so the boy's dad's two friends get up to jump in and help him. That when I spring to action, 3v1 just isn't fair! So I get over there and basically keep the other two back while Sean and the boy's dad finish up. After the separate and start walking back to their cars I start talking to the boy's father. I try to reason with him and he's actually agreeing with me. As i get into the car a make a comment like, "maybe you could make a dent in his ax so he understands how it feels?" and the dad's agreeing with me like it's a good idea!

Back in the car, everyone is in cardboard boxes. Of course :D So I'm like what's going on? Then someone said, don't know who, probably my super model date, "We're too embarrassed to show our faces because we're so attracted to you right now." Haha

Paul's Midlife Crisis

 Went to visit Paul's house, but I was surprised to find he just bought a baby bear! It was as chaotic as you might think, breaking things are everyone trying not to get hurt.

Saving Sister Occleshaw

The Meeting

We start as we make our way to a generic store where about 20 of us will meet to discuss combating addictions or crime in the area. Those who I recognize are my brother Sean and the 2 sister missionaries Sister Occleshaw and Sister Manning (from the Clearwater Ward). When we get there I've got an armful of stuff, so I make may way in find an open spot on the floor and put everything down. I hear a commotion outside, so I go check it out.

The Attack

When I get outside I see Sister Occleshaw in distress, crying about how someone was trying to steal her pants. Concerned for her safety and worried it might have been some sexual attack I along with Sister Manning helped get her home. On the way back her attacker again appeared. It was a woman, completely nude, almost demonic and once again was trying to take off Sister Occleshaw's pants (After pondering, perhaps could be an attack on Chastity, not so much that the woman wanted Sister Occleshaw's pants to cover herself up, but rather to take away). Instantly I lunge for the woman and tell Sister Manning and Sister Occleshaw to get to safety. The woman puts up a struggle, but physically I am fairly easily able to pin her down. She then starts screaming "Virgin!" like an insult or verbal attack..

The Containment

Somehow we were able to contain the woman as a sort of goo in a container, but we still couldn't get rid of it. We did experiments and the goo would form a hand whenever Sister Occleshaw was near, pat her head, then tap her shoulder. Even though it seemed harmless (somehow, despite what we just went through) we were afraid of what it might do as a 3rd action. Every time we open the container near Sister Occleshaw, a pat, then a tap, until I let it proceed and it reaches out with a strong electric charge. I quickly redirect the goo with my hand into the container, close it, and throw it in a garbage can, seemingly killing it.

The Memory

We then pan to 4 of us at a small table some time in the future. Sister Manning I think with her husband, Sister Occleshaw, and I. Sister Occleshaw's still so grateful for what I did to protect her, and I happily say it was well worth it for a numb pinky for the rest of my life and some scarring. She give me a great big hug and we continue talking, eating, and reminiscing about that crazy day.

Second Life

So, this dream really begins at the end.  I'm with my mom in some big city talking with her and a few other people.  When all the sudden we see two giant waves coming towards us from opposite directions, destroying everything in its path.  We seem to have a few seconds, so mom and I look at each other, hug, and say that we love each other.  The water didn't come in a huge crash, but gradually, then the rest must have come in a large wave because all of the sudden we were all under water.

While under water I felt something strange, I thought, maybe this is the spirit comforting me as I go, but at that time we all started sinking fast and had lights glowing from our chests.  The next thing I remember, I was standing with the same people in a cave-like area.  It was night, but there were enough lights so I could see everyone.  I'm holding two sticks, one in each hand.  I overhead that those who have gone through the process enough times remember what happen and come through the process with the 2 sticks.  Those who haven't gone through as many times come through with one stick.  I noticed mom had one stick and had the mentality of a child.  She also must have overheard the conversation, because she broke her stick in half so she could be like me.  I chuckled, then began to look around.

It wasn't long before I noticed we were prisoners. We were locked in a cage, with plenty of soldiers on watch.  We immediately sprang into action.  We broke the lock, I took mom and crouched through the shadows.  As we made our way through a van drove by, used some sort of ray gun that shot out rings around the prisoner that probably teleported him into the van.  I tried getting mom to hide in a large tube until the van passed, but she was scared and refused to go in (there was a spider web in there to be fair).  So, plan B, we run.

Some other guy decides to join us, so we get by all of the soldiers and vans and around the corner we find a giant wall filled with bright colors, lights, and decorations.  It is also divided into sections of what seemed like holidays, each with a slide going who knows where.  One of their leaders had then seen us, so we made our way to what looked like the Christmas wall.  The guy jumped in first, then I helped mom in, then I went in, but didn't slide down yet so I could get some information from the bad guy before I went.  He warned me that going into these worlds too many times could be dangerous.

After sliding down things got strange and turned into and old time video game.  I went through and distributed weapons and armor among the three of us and off we went.

Analysis:  Maybe some relation with the 3 of us kids, Sean, Sarah, and I.

Beastly Morning

I debated whether or not to record this one, was just 30min before my alarm went off.

It start with me working a late night. For some reason I see another group doing something (I can't remember what) when I step away from my desk for a break.  I (we) finally finish whatever we are doing at about 4AM, so I go home.  The home and roommates aren't any place or anyone I remember, but when I park in the driveway I get ridiculed for the spot I chose, since it was kind of off to the side so the driveway could still be open.  It seems like some people were still up, but anyways I went to sleep until my alarm at 6.

When I woke up, I went straight to school.  I went to one class that wasn't mine first (maybe I was a TA?)  They were having a final, and after setting things up I headed towards my next class.  On the way I noticed a large group of people near and in a pool.  While I was taking a break near the pool, and gigantic monster appeared and I hid against a cement road block where I knew it couldn't find or reach me.

About this time I knew I was more powerful than a mere human, and decided to stop by my class to see if anyone is hurt.  Not really scared of the beast, but avoiding it.  When I got to the class it was empty, but I cast some protection spells on the building knowing the creature could have no chance getting through.  In the room were a bunch of weapons.  Guns, knives, I of course chose a samurai sword.  I then checked the neighboring rooms to see if anyone else was there.

I remember meeting up with 2 more people, one was an inventor, and we were planning how to take care of the creature.  (Though I'm not sure why I didn't convince him to take it down myself).  The inventor took me into his secret room with all sorts of inventions.  I remember seeing some steam tech and a gunblade.

I woke up before we actually took on the beast, but I'm sure I took it out no problem ;)

The Cure

I do not have any powers or abilities, but I am an action hero. The dream starts with me being captured by the main bad guy. He had me hooked up to a machine that literally rips the skeleton out of your body. Yeah, pretty gross. So, he makes his long bad guy speech, turns the machine on, and walks away laughing maniacally. 

I feel the pain of the machine separating bone and flesh. The pain intensifies until I feel a great tear and I see my skeleton creeping away from me. "I'm still alive!," I thought. I needed to get my skeleton back fast though, because I didn't know how much longer I had. Without bones I was able to slip through the contraption. I mustered all my strength and pushed myself into the skeleton. I was whole, but weak, bleeding, and fragile.

I needed a surgeon. I took down a guard to get out of the room, and luckily we were in a hospital! I asked the receptionist where the operating room was, she said the 14th floor. I got on the elevator, but while on the elevator someone said it was in the neighboring building. When I got off, another man followed me and attacked me. I got his gun away from him, but all I could find for a weapon was a pen. With a few well placed jabs he was out. I checked to make sure I didn't break any major seems, but I appeared to be OK.

When I got to the next building, I saw a man in a mirror who looked similar to me but older. He was mouthing something, but I didn't understand. I went to the other side, he said to go to the bathroom, the cure would be in there. I found the bathroom, and the cure which looked like a thermometer with a packet of liquid attached. 

About that time the man entered and said I was two minutes late. I thought maybe it was me from the future, but couldn't be sure. I took the medicine, and he told me I would be fine, but they would be after me and I had to escape.

That's where the dream ended. I'm sure I got out and exacted my revenge. ;)

The Legend of the Mexican Gila Monster

Temple Drug Tester
Ok, so yesterday was my first day working in the oquirrh mountain temple, sooo.... it's not my fault.  Disclaimer, the temple is NOTHING like this, this was just a dream, so if you want more information check out http://www.mormon.org/faq/use-of-temples .  Ok, so basically I was assigned with someone else to select random people for drug tests.  Yeah, it was very strange, and I remember at one point someone (I think from my ward) stood up and called out two people in the front who she said would very obviously fail the test.  When she said that, they made their way out of the temple and we walked with them (kind of like a walking chase) out of the room.  End, I know, boring, but thought it was strange.


10 Min Bathroom Blitz
Ok, another short strange one to waste your time.  So, we were on a 10 minute break from something.  I went down to the bathrooms (because I had to go!), but they didn't say which was Mens and Womens. So, I chose one.  I saw a ton of stalls (like 100), so I thought it might be the womens, but at this point I didn't care.  Shortly after a bunch of guys slided in on discs raiding the girls bathroom (of course the stalls kind of disappeared and it was all clean playful fun).


The Legend of the Mexican Gila Monster
This one is actually a full story.  It starts with me and Sean in Mexico somewhere where I served my mission.  Sean ordered something, but it had black stuff on it, so I asked if it was from black beans or mole (even though mole really isn't black).  They said black beans and I continued to tell Sean about how much I didn't like mole, and asked if I could see the container just so I could look through the ingredients,  but I wasn't hungry.  A young Mexican girl came a sat by us.  Sean told me to be careful of the young ones, because they usually speak English, but I said I knew her from the mission.  The server came back and said some stuff in Spanish, but I had a hard time understanding.  He came back a little later with a green drink.  My brother didn't want it, and afterwards the Mexican girl explained that he offered us a kale and liver drink and I said sure, UGH! Too bad he didn't drink it! :D

As we left the restaurant, I realized I left my keys where I was sitting, and I saw someone else about to sit in my seat, so I quickly reached down and got them.  There were now 3 girls and Sean and I walking.  And I asked Sean where the car was because I didn't have my wallet and felt that I should.  Sean said it was quite a ways away, but he wanted to get something from it too, so he and the cutest girl (don't judge :P ) went out to the car.  The other 2 girls were still plenty cute, so I was still happy.

We were by the beach, so I thought, hey, let's go swimming!  I love the beach! :D  They said it probably wasn't a good idea because it was a reverse tide.  Uh... Ok.  I didn't understand, but didn't argue either.  I soon noticed that waves were coming in from both directions, like we were on a small beach or peninsula.  The tide quickly rose, and I found a tall rock and where the girls and I could get a sure footing.  Luckily no more waves came in and the water receded.

When we got back on the sand, people were strewn all over the place.  We then heard screams coming from the north and saw a 10 foot tall Gila Monster.  It was moving lightning fast and eating people left and right.  It was coming our way, so I made sure the girls were safe before climbing for safety myself.  I started climbing right as the Gila Monster got to us, so it was focused on me.  I climbed as fast as I could, but it caught up to me.  And its head was level with mine, I got a firm grip with my left hand and used my right to land several solid punches.  Eventually it fell and I dropped down to make sure it was dead.

Dream Ending speculation: One of the cute girls says, "Oh my hero!" and we live happily ever after :P

Dreams a-plenty

Ok, so for some reason my body wanted to sleep for like... 15 hours and have some strange dreams, so... here we go!

Moving Day
So, I really hate moving.. This dream starts out with me packing and trying to get ready for a flight in time.  I remember using Sean's present, a very expensive frying pan.  As I pick it up I noticed some wear on it and feel guilty about using it.  I'm trying to rush it, but my flight leaves in an hour and it seems hopeless.  That's about it, I probably don't make it :(  but it's just a dream!

Second Mission Chaos
So, for some reason I dream often I'm on a second mission.  This time our apartment is my home, and there's quite a few of us there.  My trainer from my first mission, Sean, Johnathan Robinson, and some others including the previous missionaries from the area.  We were taking the day off and slacking for some reason.  One of the elders was making calls and I was playing on the classic gameboy with the green screen.  I'm messing around with the volume so that it doesn't disturb his calls.  One of the previous missionaries for the area comes by and tells us some things about the area.  He tells us about one family to get close to because they give us a lot of stuff (what kind of missionaries ARE we!?).  For example, he shows us this strange fruit.  Cause, I'm all about those strange fruits :P

So, after a while the dream shifted and we were under attack by 1-foot tall shadow creatures.  These shadows especially went after virgins, oh goodie!  So, I remember trying to escape them and we ended up at the provo mall.  Unfortunately another short ended dream

Bonus
Ok, I know this one's strange, but it was almost like I was watching a youtube video more than actually being there.  So, I think a bunch of guys were playing football and this one guy gets hit really hard.  Uh, so hard in fact his legs are torn off.  He doesn't seem too phased by it though.  He then reaches for his legs, shoves them back in his sockets and trys to walk on them.  Everyone's trying to stop him, and they eventually do to get him to the hospital.

Guns, Escapes, and Girls

Ghost Recon Phantoms Dreamworld
So, it was as if I was playing Ghost Recon Phantoms, but I was and actual player.  We were on the map attica, I went downstairs and saw a guy up the stairs at their entrance.  I shot and hit him 2 or 3 times, at which time he dropped to the floor as to be out of view.  I also laid down and waited for him to peek his head, when he did, POW, game over.  When the game ended I took off my helmet and went upstairs to be social.  I noticed one of the gamers was a cute girl telling everyone gg (good game).  So I went up to her and told her gg, but she didn't seem interested in me.  Story of my life :P

The Escape
We were all prisoners of a medieval group.  We were time travelers and needed to escape. There were about 10 of us, but we needed to wait for a certain time to activate the portal.  We made our way to the where the portal would be opened and I took watch at the front entrance which was a narrow path with a door at the entrance.  I pulled out my sword and waited.  I then thought we should take some girls with us (uh, kind of like Lehi and his sons I guess), so I opened the front door, and invited some of the other female prisoners to come with us.  Some came through, so I shut the door and waited.  When it was time, I went to the back where the portal entrance would open.

The portal opening device is a complicated contraption with many pieces that need to be put together.  I noticed they had waited to start putting it together until it was time to open the portal!  I scolded them for not putting it together while I was guarding and waiting. I made a quick attempted to help, and hurried back to my post.  Hopefully, I could hold them off long enough, but it was too late.  They had sent a bunch of women through the front door, hoping we wouldn't have the guts to fight them. I thought, it's us or them.  The first woman came up and I fought her.  I got 2 good slashes in and she retreated.  I stabbed the second girl pretty quickly and they all retreated.  I went back to see how the portal was going, but I notice a huge army coming in through the back entrance.  They got through the door and we were done for.

I jumped over the railing and down into the street.  I started running, but for some reason couldn't run very fast, so I used my hands and legs to get into the town housing area, running through people's houses.  I woke up, but they probably killed me :P

YSA Activity

I showed up to a massive YSA activity using a huge stake center.  I saw dad there, and he suggested I take off my suit coat.  I had a vest on underneath, so I still looked pretty good (I was probbably dressed for doing something before the activity). I took my suit coat to dad's car and went inside.  The curtain was pulled in the gym as to separate it into two separate rooms.  I mingled with a few people, I remember talking to Paige Higgins Foutz.  She gave me the cold shoulder, so I went to talk to others, realized I had my glasses on, so I took them off and was about to head for dad's car to put them there, at which time I woke up.  No numbers :(

Weeping Angels and Warfare

So, I can't for the life of me remember my first dream, ugh!!! Oh well, here's number 2 and 3.

Game Show Featuring Weeping Angels
So, I was in some sort of game show where you would race a bunch of other people through a chain of events.  I was second to last arriving at the next obstacle.  I saw a everyone ahead of me climbing a tree.  Probably due to a previous event I had my church shoes on, so I tightened them and made my way to the tree.  When I got there whoever was in charge decided to make a change.  I looked behind me and I saw a weeping angel.  It looked like it was in bad shape an unable to move very fast.  Everyone got down from the tree and we put on a device that essentially blindfolded us.  It also showed us a map of our surrounding area so we wouldn't bump into things.  The guy in charge released a few more angels and let us loose.  The first one touched, loses.  The only difference in these angels is that when they touch you, they don't send you back in time, they kill you.  We weren't 100% blind because whenever we got near an angel you could feel this disturbing darkness in your soul.  After a while I got backed into a corner, I could feel 2 or 3 angels closing in, and before I knew it I was touched.  I can't remember what happened after, I either turned to ash and my spirit removed from my body, or moved into another dimension.

All's fair in love and War, if you abide the rules
So, I honestly couldn't tell if this war was serious or play, but I was in the enemies territory.  I played the part of either a disease spreader or a healer with some sort of squirt gun device.  Due to the rules of war the enemy couldn't attack me except with their own chemical attackers.  This made the enemy general very angry because I was right there.  I decided to use my gun to really make him angry.  I started squirting their computer and it shorted out.  This really ticked him off.  At this point I didn't think rules meant anything to this guy so I bolted!  Afterwards I transitioned into a world that was a caste system based on intelligence.  Everyone wore a bracelet made of those ball-chain metal things.  The more balls handing off the bracelet you had, the higher class you were.  Haha, random, but that's it :P

Mini Revolution, the Wonder Years

I'm a little backed up, so let me just zip through these:

Mini Revolution
At all began with the grand council, or guardians of our world.  We had gathered together to defend ourselves against a great evil approaching our boarders.  There were about 8 of us planning how to defend ourselves.  The next thing I remember is living in an abandoned corner near a park with another of my closest friends who was also a guardian.  Everything else seemed about the same except for lines of guards that resembled the guards in the Wizard of Oz.  We sneaked around them, towards a gathering place.  At about this time I noticed that we were only about a foot tall, which was probably a spell put on us during the war I realized we lost.  Many of us guardians that gathered at first gathered once again in a tree.  We needed to take back what was ours!  Some of our spy's had learned the inner workings of the castle nearby where the enemy lived, especially the schedules of those working there.  Our plan was to sneak in there acting as cooks and whatnot, kidnap the evil queen's daughter, hold her at knifepoint to the queen, where she would trade her life for our freedom!  The vision was clear in our minds as if it was a movie playing in front of us.  After the plan was proposed I knew what would really happen.  The queen would laugh at our offer, say go ahead, and kill us all.  About this time I woke up, so I didn't know how the rest played out.

Wonder Year Time Travelers
I don't remember much of this one, but I know it was a mix between wonder years and time travelling.  I was the main character, and I had the one friend.  I remember the locker room where we came back from time travelling.  There was the entrance/exit right in the locker.  I was waiting for my friend to go to a dance.  There my sweet love would be there, unfortunately with another guy.  Ugh, story of my life!!! Anyways, when we get there her and her date were being announced as King and Queen.  I don't think I was part of the presentation, but I grabbed the mike anyways, and began to introduce the King and Queen.  I started with Wendy.  I said, "Now introducing the fairest of the fair, the most beautiful sight that eyes have ever seen, the most precious name that lips have spoken, Queen Wendy!" And of course, cheers from the crowd.  I then in a sarcastic voice say, "and... this guy." as I gesture towards the slime with my hand on the word "this."  That's it, I'm sure I was given a stern talking to after the whole this was over, hehe.

Road Trip!

So, Sean, James (Sean's friend), and Jame's girlfriend and I were on a roadtrip.  I think we were taking a detour before coming to california.  On our way to our first destination we stopped at a lake, so what's the first thing that comes to our minds?  Let's go water skiing!  Sean and I are all in, and James' girlfriend in on the fence, but James doesn't want to go in the water.

So, James has had a recurring dream where he's underwater and he see's a female ghost floating in front of him.  He says it's so lifelike he's been afraid to go in the water since.  Sean and I are like, "Are you serious?"  So we basically decide to go ahead and he can join later if he wants.  Sean just wanted to drive the boat, so I went first.  Sean basically took the boat down a strip of water, dropped the skier off, then went back to get the next skier.  When I was going I notice there were a bunch of giant manatees jumping out of the water.  I was afraid one of them was going to hit me!  But, I had a fun time and Sean dropped me off.

James reluctantly went next and he was fine, such a baby :P  James' girlfriend was next, and when we were done we carried all the equipment (including my kayak and some paddles for some reason) back to our car.  Right next to the car we took some time at the hill of forgotten memories.  This hill basically contained physical mementos of times that have been forgotten.  It was actually pretty cool, James' girlfriend found something (I can't remember what) that reminded me of John Damon and living at Boy's Town.

Once we were done with that, we discussed heading to a certain hotel that served free breakfast really early so we could head out early if we wanted.   I guess we decided to go to James' mom's because next thing I remember I was unpacking some stuff there.  I took off my shoes outside, then decided I should take off my socks too in another room.  I headed for the dinner table when I saw everyone (except James' mom) already there praying over their food.  When they were done, they had guilty looks on their faces, but I didn't mind too much.  We were having T-bone steak and mashed potatoes, yum!  I had a little bit of steak and some potatoes when I went outside, probably to unpack one last thing.

On my way back in I heard some yelling.  When I got back to the table I told Sean and James' girlfriend that I thought the police were here (because police yell I guess?).  We then heard more yelling and hitting coming from upstairs.  Sean wanted to go up and do something, but for some reason or another I told him to let it go.

When James came down he was badly beaten.  The mood changed drastically.  We changed to panic mode and we had to get away from there.  They asked about the police, but I said I was mistaken.  I, of course, took my T-bone steak and headed for the door where everyone else was already gathered.  When I saw everyone getting their shoes I remembered I left my socks in another room.  I couldn't just leave my socks!  So, I went back into the house, got my socks, then my shoes, and we started running.

The rest of the story is a bit blurry.  She may have started shooting at us and I think I got shot in the back before waking up.  Not the best ending, but it wasn't a nightmare, so it was still enjoyable.

Dream on!

Whoventure

Dr. Who and I were exploring this one kid's house (he also had a dog, but it doesn't really play a part in the story :P). This boy had the power to create the home basically from his imagination.  We explored the house and were especially impressed by the endless staircase.  It was a square staircase that would go up and up forever, but as soon as you went down, you would  come back to the ground floor of the house.

So, this is where things get tricky... We stumbled upon an angel statue in one of the room.  The doctor and I knew right away it was a weeping angel.  This weeping angel was different in that it not only fed on time energy, but all sorts of energy.  Luckily, the angel was weak and couldn't move, but the angel had somehow set up a device that through some sort of energy waves it was getting stronger.

We had to disable the device, but it had so many misleading clues we just couldn't stop it in time.  Suddenly the angel received all of its strength.  We paused in horror. Don't blink.  Blink and you're dead.  So, what does the doctor do?  He runs.  So, after what seemed like a lifetime, the doctor said to head for the window.  He knew that between two time travelers and a staircase with unlimited energy which the angel would choose.

We bolted for the window and felt the rush of the lightning fast angel pass by us like we were nothing but a snack compared to the feast it would partake.  We jumped out the window and started running.  We used the doctor's cloaking device to hopefully confuse the angel.  First, a boy and his puppy, then two men.

As we approached the TARDIS, two other fellows were nearby.  The doctor was able to pass just fine, but unfortunately our disguise device has disguised me as one of the men when he was younger.  He was obviously taken back by this, and wanted answers.  I tried telling him I didn't have time to explain and that we were in danger.  I had to abandon my original plan and run for the TARDIS where the doctor and I escaped to safety and device of a plan to stop the angel.

Floods and Ghosts

I was out with my brother Sean and some friends, and we came to a house to warn some guy that a huge flood was coming.  Heavy clouds were accumulating and we had to get him to safety.  We did a lot of driving around, but had to go back up to a dangerous road where a lot of the flood water was going through.  Someone else was driving, and we stayed as far to the left as we could to keep traction, but the water started to pull us down.  Those of us in the left side of the car reached out to pull anything to keep us on the road.  We somehow were able to bring ourselves back on the road and past the rushing river.

Some time after that we were walking in either an underground facility or just a very large building.  We were looking for someone's, ghost, not really sure who or why, but on our way we saw three girls running by us (2 really cute ones and one... not so much).  There were three of us, so even though we were all in a difficult and dangerous time, I thought I'd lighten the mood and flirt as best I could by whistling at them (or maybe I made a short comment).  Anyways, in my strange world, it worked!  They kind of looked at each other, stopped, and came over.

One of the cute girls was taller (my height or a couple inches taller), so I kind of tried to position myself closer to the other cute one.  In a sort of awkward position dance I ended up next to the tall one by her choice, which was fine with me! (I usually don't notice height).  Anyways, I asked for her number, and she insisted, "only if you really call me!"  After pushing a few times she finally gave me her number... in a riddle.  She quoted what I thought at first as scripture, though it definitely wasn't as it was strange, but I wrote down with a pen on my hand the obvious quotable parts that I could Google later.

We then continued our search.  Somehow I got separated looking for these guys, and I found a room with a man and his wife.  I asked them if they've seen any ghosts around here (you know, casually, no big deal).  He says he had, though I just missed them.  While he explains that one of them had a haircut similar to mine I see a vision of us earlier walking through the halls.  Were we the Ghosts?  Maybe, I just have to figure out how to call that girl so I can get a date! :)

School, Superheroes, and Friends

So, it started out with me being in school, studying for finals (probably my last year... again.)  I was just relaxing with my roommates and when we went outside there was a fight.  I can't remember who we were fighting, but we were able to push them back until we saw a giant superman and wonder woman about 40 stories tall stomping down the street destroying everything in its path.

I was then in a room with Terra playing a superheroes interactive game (like the Wii).  Though we had to hold a house phone-looking device in our hand the entire time, the game would pick up on leaning forward for movement and different actions for different super-hero abilities.  We decided we had a little more than an hour before we had to be at the temple (probably to work), so we could take on these 2 giants before we left.  She chose Black Widow and I wanted someone like Spider man or Superman (i know, Marvel and DC mashed together), I ended up with some army guy with weapons not as cool as Iron Man.

It took us a while to get the movement and moves down, taking the little guys down first, but then it almost turned into a reunion.  A bunch of friends came in to say hi, I only remember Kate (who is on a mission) coming in and giving us big hugs.  At about the time we were going to fight the 2 giant superheroes I woke up.

Tornado Disaster

I was with a bunch of friends in the Rogers YSA Branch touring some ruins in what looked like jungle Mesoamerica. The ruins were in two parts, the lowlands and the uplands. A long concrete staircase separated the two which seemed at least 10 stories different in height.

After viewing the bottom for a while a group of us went up to see some of the upper ruins. Kelli McEwan had to go to the bathroom, so we stayed near the restrooms waiting.  Shortly thereafter we heard loud sirens going off and people telling us to find safety in the lower ruins.  I calmly told everyone to go ahead and that I'd make sure Kelli was ok. All but two agreed, so the three of us waited for Kelli. We didn't seem panicked or worried. Just a warning.

Soon after the winds started picking up and I told the two to take shelter in a nearby ancient building. It was made of stone and seemed solid. I continued to wait until I saw it. A massive tornado was making its way down to where we were. I didn't have enough time to take shelter, so I grabbed onto a chain fence hoping for protection our weight to keep me on the ground. It's getting closer. Too large and too fast to avoid. Impact is inevitable. Here it comes...

I wake up and it's still stormy outside. I get up and start looking for my friends. On my way to the building I told the two to hide in, someone asks if I'm okay. For the first time I look at myself and notice a gash in my lower left stomach. I'm not too worried, not much bleeding and probably didn't hit anything vital.  I continue to the building. I notice some rubble covering a lower pocket where I find my two friends.

I never did find Kelli, and my guess is she didn't make it. Tragedies never feel real until they happen.

Stuck Behind

Prelude - The only word that explains how I felt yesterday is "stuck." I had an interview with church headquarters for a change management position. Everything seemed perfect and I got my hopes up. Great people, position, location. Then... slam. I got the rejection notice. Just what I get for getting my hopes up. So, in that I just felt stuck in Arkansas, stuck in life, stuck in relationships, deprived of love, and all that garbage. Anyways, the show must go on!

It began at what looked like the parking lot of Cypress High school, except the concrete was water. We seemed happy enough. I was windsurfing with one or two others on the still water.

Some time after going on shore the mood completely changed. We realized we were stranded behind enemy lines. There were hostile relations between the area we were at and the US. Seems like we had neighbors, but we feared talking to anyone as they might kill us on sight.

After several days our supplies were running low. We decided to build a raft of some type (don't know where the windsurfing equipment went, but I'm sure it would have helped!). After a while one of the girls waved down one of the helicopters circling overhead with a mirror our something shiny. Furious, we pulled her inside and waited.

What seemed like hours later a helicopter began touching down. We were armed with whatever we had, determined to make it out of there. We watched through the screen door to see if it was friend or foe. As the blades slowed down and the dust began to settle, I saw Delaynie's mom in the passenger seat (it was probably Delaynie who flagged them down in the first place).

We were so relieved! Being stuck there for days, probably weeks, and finally some friendly faces we knew we were safe, so... We had a barbeque! I'm guessing they brought the food because we were all out. We also weren't scared anymore, so they must have established a treaty. It was nice visiting with friends and their families, though I don't remember anyone from my family being there.

Afterthought - Though it didn't feel good to be stuck in life and my dream, I'm glad they ended up well. I love my friends and family and leaving Arkansas would be one of the hardest things I'd ever have to do.

Death House

Death House
So it was about mid afternoon at work and Nurhan asked if I'm going to the speaker meeting in another building. I say I am, but unable to catch up to her for a ride, I make my way through the casino (yes, apparently my work is surrounded by a casino). On my way out I see my brother Sean and little Emma, my niece.

So I end up catching a ride with him to go to a play Othello. Emma kind of doesn't make a appearance until later, so it's just Sean and I in the car, plus 1 or two more depending on when. As we turn into the parking lot we see Sean's old girlfriend on a bike, who might I add I kind of liked, and he jokingly forced her into a corner with his car so she would stop. I quickly said hi and we were off.

On the second level we saw some light flashing and noticed an ambulance and some construction going on. As we swerved through our course coming to the ambulance, it started to move, but the guy directing traffic told us to go ahead. As Sean went, so did the ambulance and we narrowly avoided an accident. All the workers were freaking out. When we got to the next area a bunch of workers (maybe 30 or so) made their way towards us complaining about how they told us to stop. I then spoke up, pretty frustrated and not willing to take their accusations, and told them we were waved through. They weren't happy, but let us go.

The next area we were walking. And I don't remember much about this place except the giant invisible chicken. "Oh, don't worry, it doesn't bite," said one of the workers,  but it sure did! It attacked all of us and we were hurting pretty bad.

So getting out of there as fast as we could we ended up in the car again. This time there were 4 of us (Fue a coworker was there), in a covertable,  and I was in the back seat. We were parked in the middle of a grassy area when all the sudden we see a large metal swinging object came towards us. It was literally so close that I had to move to avoid it. While keeping watch on where it would swing next, I noticed it was a giant pocket watch. Interesting, but all I carted about was not getting hit by this thing. On like the 4th or 5th swing it destroyed our right side mirror and we got out of there fast.

Final room. So I get to talk to the person I wanted to see the most at that moment, the woman in charge of the whole thing. I continue to tell her how we almost died several times and how dangerous everything was. She also insisted the invisible chicken was harmless, but we all disagreed. Eventually she apologized unconvincingly and gave us a cloth and a towel to clean up with. She suggested I take the towel like a handkerchief insinuating that I was "crying" about the situation more the the others.  (It's my dream, I can complain as much as I want!)

After she left things cooled down. The room was lined with sitting ledges and people were talking. I started playing with Emma using an app with my phone. It would record my voice and transform what I say into the voices of star wars characters. She seemed to laugh at that and that was petty much how it ended.

Bonus Dream: The Girl and the Crack in the Ground

So I was at some theme park when I met this girl. She was cute and I was interested, so we went to some fast food place (maybe 4 of us) to talk some more.

After that we were going to meet up somewhere else, but as I was driving my truck, I hit something. I then realized my truck was flipping forward. The next few moments I was entering in and out of consciousness. I remember calling 911 and wondering where I would tell them I was. I don't think it went through because I heard some automated voice on the other end before I blacked out again.

After a while I got out of the truck and noticed a huge Crack in the Ground. My car was pretty messed up, but the woman from the house right next to the cracked assured me everything was fine and no insurance companies needed to be contacted. That wasn't good enough for me, but sure enough she was able to repair my truck (can't remember how) and I probably never found that girl again :'(

Time Lord's Adventure

This one is a little slow in the beginning...

I can't remember the details very well, but started in my room back home and Sean a black cat were there. We were arguing or fighting about something, so I left to go to the living room.  The living room looked like it was under repair with the floor replaced with a thick plywood / wood chip mixture riddled with holes. There I met a guy who was showing me all this cool survival and camping stuff. One of the items he showed me was a "centrifuge" air blast device. He said it had the rotational power of one of earth's rotations, whatever that means. He said it works great for putting out campfires, where he then demonstrated on our under construction floor. Yay, more holes! I told him don't worry about it because we had to fix the floor anyways. However he ended up breaking some more important things and I got nervous. My dad then stepped in and was about to get angry when...time stop! The visitor stopped time.

I then experienced a small side story. I was Shawn from psych and time was still stopped. I was at a crime scene and saw my fingerprints on the window. I proceeded to smudge my fingerprint into a design which went viral being seen at crimes all over where I had been. Back to the main story.

When I got back, time was unfrozen, but the visitor had fixed all of the holes he had made. I headed back to my room and told my brother Sean that we needed to return the president's black cat. I wanted to enter the room, but was afraid the cat would run away.

Somehow the cat got out of the room and out the house. Aaron Wright chased after it.

So I left the house, forgot about the cat and just went for a walk. I found a community house (later learned it was a tennis training house). I talked to a few people, fixed some guys computer problem and went for another walk.

While on the walk I saw a tornado. I forgot that I didn't get tornado warnings, but noticed this tornado was different. When it passed over me I saw two individuals inside. I of course knew that they were time travelers wrinkling through time. I found a couple of people on the sidewalk and tried to explain what the non-destructive tornado was using the example from the book (ant walking across a piece of string), but no luck. I then set out to find out what in our timeline had changed, because being a time lord I could remember the old past. I went back to tennis house, but everything seemed pretty normal. So I proceeded to the beach next to the house when I saw a strange green light in the water forming steeple. The lights slowed down and turns out they were space ships jumping in and put of the water. I recognized at once what kind of ships they belonged to, the daleks. I hid my face so that they wouldn't see me. We then saw a hologram appear above the water of a dalek where he expressed his great hatred towards the human race's pursuit of knowledge and would destroy the learning center.  I then tried to walk away, but then they spotted me.

About this time I woke up. I'm sure the daleks where scared of me and ran off, or I had some elaborate way to stop them, either way :)

Don't bury your mummies

So this is a short one, mostly recording because the more I do, theed more I dream.

So me and a friend were burying some mummies in the front yard back where I grew up in California. When night came someone else came by and asked who we buried (although I think we still had 1 1/2 left). I didn't know, but as he said that the mummies came to life, and they were not happy...

One of them turned into a tree form and chased us to the grassy area behind the elementary school bathrooms closest to our house.  He then sent out 2 vines, tangled us, and that was it. Trapped, we probably died, I don't know, wasn't very scary though :p
