newnumber6Lots of dreams last night.
First I remember I was working in an office, and policies kept changing and we kept getting weird ads, until we learned that we had been sold to a big corporation (the one that was giving us the ads). Also, a guy (I remember he was asian with a very slight accent) came up to me and said he had some suspicion that I had some kind of 'sexual stories' on my workstation. I had no idea what he was talking about, unless someone else had put them there, but was worried because I had other stuff that probably wasn't quite kosher on there like MU* stuff and fragments of short stories, so when the guy went away, I started looking over my stuff and deciding what to get rid of.
Then I had a weird romantic type dream. Normally, I hate those dreams because eventually I wake up and I'm back to my sad life, but this one was different because it was just so zany. I remember two girls were out shopping together on the street, and I was approached by a friend, who was dating one of them and wanted to know if I'd seen her. So I told him, and after they went away I was talking to the other, who I learned at that point that we were dating, and we got into one of those talks about where we were in our relationship - it was still pretty early, so it was still casual, but we discussed our feelings on such subjects like the concept of soulmates and whether love lasts forever, and so on. Okay, now here's where it starts to get weird, and the laws of physics start to resemble nothing on Earth. While we were talking, we were going downhill. And somehow, we were picking up speed. It was like we were on a skijump, except we were walking. And suddenly, out of nowhere, a flying raccoon zoomed right past us, startling us. Anyway, we started going really fast downhill, and this was somehow deliberate because it was like one of those weird things people do just to see if they can, like Climb Everest... pick up speed going downhill, then jump off and see if you can get over the wall on the otherside, which was like a sheer cliff going up (except it wasn't rock, but rather normal ground with the occasional tree, just nearly vertical instead of horizontal. And so we jumped and using the speed and momentum (remember, laws of physics do not apply), we were able to run up the sheer cliff, and very nearly got to the top, before I remembered the flying raccoon and burst out laughing at the absurdity of it all, and started to lose steam. We were somehow connected, so because I fell, so did she. As we were following, I apologize and explained that if it wasn't for the damn raccoon, I really thought we could make it. I knew I had to slow us down so I put my feet down to try and grab on something as we were sliding/falling, and it was quite a production, but finally I caught my boots on a tree stump or something and we slowed to a stop and I thought, "whoah, good boots", and started wishing that we were caught on tape because it would make a perfect commercial for the boots. That's about when I woke up.
Third dream. Started out, oddly enough, with me telling people about the first dream (except some things were changed, and there was reference to a computer window that's like a 3-dimensional tv used to analyze stuff).. I was in another kind of office, except I was sort of a summer intern along with a couple other summer interns. Anyway, after I told some people, we broke for lunch, and I went out and ran into an old friend from Junior High and High School. We chatted, I asked how he was, and he was depressed because his girlfriend had left him for someone else. Here's where it gets weird. During this conversation, somehow we seamlessly switched from being interns in a small computer company, to being knights-in-training in the middle ages. Anyway, the person his girlfriend left him for was also a guy I sort of knew from Junior High, and his girlfriend was a girl who, in our last few months of high school together, had a crush on him and so was hanging around us a little (as far as he told us, he had no interest in her and I hadn't talked to him since). Anyway, both of them showed up together and my friend went ballistic and tried to throw a punch when they started kissing, but I pulled him away and tried to get him to just walk away with a 'it's not worth it', and he did but then stalked off to get on a horse and ride off to battle or something. I was worried about what was going to happen and considered Quantum Leaping into someone else's body near him to make sure he was okay (which apparently I could do all along but still came as somewhat of a surprise to me).
These weren't the only dreams, there were others, but when you're half asleep you can only cram so much into your mind to remember for morning. I think there was something else involving a possibly undead dog.
