Wherein I go see a movie and go to school with Veronica Mars.
Course, as usual the dreams themselves aren't as interesting as the taglines. Okay, first, I was in a theatre watching a movie. I think it was something Star Wars related. There were only a few people in the theatre though, and the management decided to stop the movie in the first few minutes, and move it to another screen with less seats in it, so they could use the bigger screen for a movie that was more popular. I was about to change my mind and just get a refund and go home, not interested in seeing the movie anymore, but they made an offer that while they set up the change we could have free food at their little cafe thing, with some exceptions (notably, no burgers). So I figured I'd at least stick around for some free food and then duck out of the movie after that. The rest of the dream was me wandering around the cafe looking at various donut and pastry stuff and deciding on what I wanted to eat.
The other dream started out in class, except in this part of the dream Veronica Mars was still just a TV show. But since the teacher was nowhere to be found and there was a big TV already there, I decided to play the first episode of Veronica Mars on it (I don't know how I got it on there, must have had a tape or something or maybe the DVD). And a few of the other students who weren't talking got really into it (as usual in dreams it wasn't actually the first episode there was some mishmash, I think the guy from Numb3rs was in it too and one scene had Veronica slapping Logan and Logan slapping her back after some witty repartee), and I was thinking, 'hey, cool, I've made a convert', but then someone started fast forwarding it and I was thinking, 'hey, thats lame, you'll miss the best parts' but I realized that there were only 5 minutes left in the class so they were fast forwarding it to see how it ended before class did.
Anyway, then we left and there was sort of a discontinuity in the dream, and the next thing I remember I was getting ready for school. And left to go catch up with the people I walk to school with, and Veronica Mars was one of them. Except they were all dressed in school uniforms, and I wasn't, and I realized I'd get in trouble (I guess there were certain days of the year that you had to wear uniforms in dream-world). Except I realized this was a dream by this point. So I ran back into the house and looked at myself in the mirror and, rather than change, just tried to will myself into a school uniform. I found that, as is sometimes the case, I was able to make the change just by repeating aloud what I wanted to happen (which, now that I think of it, reminds me of Billy's magic in Young Avengers). So anyway once I got it into a school uniform, I ran back out but they'd already left, so I sort of half ran half flew to school (I did the sort of dream thing where I jump, but I can stop myself from hitting the ground while still being able to move forward with the speed of the jump and the maneuverability and ability to turn of being on the ground). When I got to school I was a little late and everyone was getting ready to take a test, and I asked for my paper but was called up to the front because there were certain things that I had to do to get a paper, like sign a form releasing the teacher from liability if so and so happened, etc. I just agreed verbally and she said to the rest of the students 'okay, you're all witnesses, he agreed', and gave me the test, and warned me I was 7 to 15 minutes behind everyone else. And I said, "That's okay, I probably would have finished more than 15 minutes before everyone else anyway." Then I caught myself and said, "Man I'm cocky, eh?" but of course I had an ace up my sleeve - I knew it was a dream, so instead of actually taking the test, I was just going to will the correct answers on the page.
Anyway, I headed back to my seat, only to find Veronica Mars there, and I asked, 'Uh, wasn't this my seat?' and she said yeah, but she had to change it, and I said, "Oh, okay, well, as long as I'm not going crazy", so I looked around for another empty seat and took it. I looked over the test to see if it made sense out of curiosity (sometimes I can read in a dream and it almost makes sense, and sometimes it's like word salad... this time it was the latter) and was ready to start willing the correct answers, when someone grabbed me by the neck and pulled me out of my seat. It was a young Dolph Lungren, and he was mad that I was in his seat. And I was like, "Uh, dude, we're in test positions, nobodys actually in their right seats, they just grab whichever one's free". Then the teacher asked, 'everyone who's in their usual seats, raise their hand', and most of the people in class raised their hands, and I said, 'Crap... well, _my_ seat was taken so I just took the nearest free seat.' and that's about where I woke up.
