Em and I were walking down a dirt "road" in the middle of the field behind Grandmamma Miller's house. We were heading north, in the direction of Garber's farm. We were with two other people, but I'm not quite sure who they were. I think one of them was supposed to be Zaphod Beeblebrox from Hitch Hikers Guide To The Galaxy. (which I'm currently reading the series). The other one, I have no idea who it was.
Anyway, Zaphod, I think, wound up breaking the news to us that either we were about to show up on an alien planet, or we were already on one. Rather than being awed, I think that Em and I were both appalled. He told us that we were going to have to run some sort of obstacle course. Despite the weirdness, I thought that it sounded like a bit of fun, so Em and I kept walking and we eventually came to an intersection. We were told that we had to turn left, and go back towards the woods. Zaphod and the other character were going to stay here.
So Em and I turned, and we went down the dirt road, which had a steep but short embankment on our left side (almost like a 6 foot tall cliff) for a bit, and eventually we came to a little white bridge. We crossed it and soon on the other side we came up to the front of this big and kind of old house. There seemed to be a good bit of vine growth on the outside of it, and it looked like no one had lived there in about 10 years. There were a lot of tall trees behind it and to the right of it, which made it almost feel like it was nestled at the base of some sort of cliff. I think Zaphod showed up briefly to tell us what we needed to do, and one or both of us may have protested because it sounded terribly difficult, but he disappeared before we could really argue our case.
So we figured that the only way out was through, and we approached the house. I told Em to stay with me, pay attention, and help me out when I need it, and I'll try to lead as much as I can. She said okay, and we went up to the house. The garage door was open, so we went in there. In the ceiling of the garage was an rectangular opening with a beam of light coming down through it. I told Em that we'd step into the light, and we'd probably be ported off to somewhere in the house. She said okay, and she followed me. We held hands as we went through.
There were some earlier parts to the course that I don't really remember, but one part that I do eventually remember was that Em and I were in this big room that was supposed to be upstairs. There was no roof over our heads, but the walls were all painted white as if they were supposed to be interior walls. In front of us were these two big logs that were like white painted telephone poles. I grabbed the tall one (about 12 feet tall) near the bottom and gave it a hefty heave, and it flipped end for end, bounced once on the top, and landed again on the bottom in a spot about 20 feet away. It fit right into this space and was supposed to be used as some key to enable something. Em did the same thing with the shorter pole (which was only about 4 feet tall), and it went over and landed next to this pedestal that was about 6 or 8 feet tall. For hers, she was supposed to climb up onto her pole, and then up onto the pedestal.
[Sadly, this is about all I remember of what promised to be such an interesting dream.]
