newnumber6Couple dreams last night.
Okay. First dream was I was dating someone. She was a little older... or, actually, she was probably about the same age I am now, but I was a little younger and still in university - she was a professor (I'm not sure if she was my professor or just someone else). Anyway, we were making plans to go away together to a beach thingie with my family as part of a 'get to know her' type ritual. Except first I was in the car with my family sometime before and they had concerns about her from stuff they found on the internet... I can't remember what it was, I think it had something to do with how her last marriage ended. My brother was driving the car and kept turning around to talk about more stuff and nearly getting us into accidents. I have no idea where this dream came from, but that's about all I can remember.
The second dream was somewhat weirder. I was an intern for a gameshow. The gameshow was some offspring of the unholy mating of The Price is Right and Wheel of Fortune. It was being played by Celebrities, but they weren't celebrities anyone really knows, for the most parts - two were very minor Canadian celebrities (one was Lexa Doig who's probably slightly more known to SF fans from Andromeda and bit parts on all sorts of shows like Stargate and 4400, but I wouldn't call A or even B list). The other celebrity was Jim Varney, better known as Ernest from such classics as Ernest Goes to Camp, and Ernest Saves Christmas.
Isn't he dead? You might ask. Well, so did I, in the dream. In fact, I was so confused by the dead celebrity I crossed out on stage in view of everybody to get a better look. One of the producers warned me that that wasn't a good idea, and I was insisting, "But he's dead!" He agreed to find out for me, and then during a commercial break he had Jim Varney come up to me, and he explained he was a relative of the real Jim Varney and he's been playing him since the real one's death. Not playing the roles Jim Varney played... playing Jim Varney. I thought that was a little weird, but whatever, so long as there wasn't a dead person winning money or prizes for charity.
(The game was sort of set up like wheel of fortune at first, but once you solved a puzzle you came on stage for a pricing game).
Anyway, one of my fellow-interns who was a friend of mine (in the dream, no one I recognized outside of the dream) decided to have some fun and switch the letters of the unsolved puzzle to something dirty/funny. It was caught before it went on air but they had to delay the rest of the game till tomorrow and the girl who was in charge of the letters got really frustrated, so I felt bad and helped her change them back. We got to talking, and at the end of the talk she kissed me and said something about 'and what did you learn today?' (it made sense in the context of the conversation, but unfortunately I can't recall how). I was stunned and didn't know what to say.
Jump-cut to some other scene.. I might have woken up and started another dream or there might just be a gap in my memory, but the next I recall I was walking down a street, and I happened to be walking near one of my old houses. I looked in the window to see what kind of people were living there now, and saw that it was abandoned... looking around I saw all the houses in that little complex were abandoned too. I walked through one of the houses and it was empty except for some generic furniture. I walked through a couple of houses, thinking it was odd, but also thinking back to the kiss and all the things I _should_ have said in response to it. At some point I realized that when I lifted my feet to take a step, I wasn't putting them down again, and was hovering some distance above the ground, that I could basically control how long it took me to fall to the ground and how far I was moving in the meantime. This is my usual 'this is a dream' cue (I had one a few days ago that somehow fooled me). Except suddenly I was in a mall. So I was trying to figure out something interesting to try with my abilities (like teleportation which rarely seems to work) but before I managed anything cool I woke up again.
There was one more mini-dream later on that was almost worthy of note but I can't recall a thing about it now.
