I think it started out that I was in these tunnels that were out in space. I don't know if I was in a space station or what, but it seems that whatever I was in, part of it was natural. Maybe whatever it was had been built into an asteroid or something.
I was with someone, but at the same time, I think that this person WAS me. We were going through these tunnels, and when we'd get to corners or certain places, there were parts that were exposed to space, and there'd be a terrible wind force going by, and this person I was with was too weak to make it past those parts. I had to help him several times, and then at one point I think we made it to this person's place that was dimly lit by some candles, and it was kind of small and had a lot of books.
We went in, and I think that something happened to the guy while I was there, and suddenly he was strong enough to make it through the windy tunnels by himself. I think we then left and went back through some of the same tunnels that we had originally come through, and also a few others that we hadn't. We were heading somewhere specific, but I'm not sure where.

Foam Board at Merillat
This one took place at work (Merillat). Most of the time I was going around in shipping as far as I know, although it seems that there were a few times I was over in the rough mill for something.
I was walking down the aisle in shipping that's over by the door that goes out to the rest of the plant. I was heading towards the back of shipping, and I was either looking for something, going to get a trash can, or taking one back. I don't remember which it was, but I know that I passed someone that was in the cross-over aisle that was on my right. I think it was Ima (the shipping supervisor).
Then I was over in the area that's just out from dock 2 on its way over to the door going out to the rest of the plant. The aisles came out extra far, and I looked down on the bottom of one that was facing towards the truck docks, and there were a bunch of books there. When I saw them I remembered that they had always been there, and I was at the art section. So I went down a looked at the books, which were on a shelf that came straight out into the middle of the aisle. There were some really big books or pieces of plywood that were on the left side of the smaller art books holding them in.
Then I went out to the rest of the plant because the horn blew, and we had 3 minutes till the end of the shift. As I was walking down past Shawn (a short guy that I sit with at lunch), he asked me if I could get him a piece of that foam board. I said okay, and I kept going over to the rough mill to wash off my hands. As I was heading over there past the hog area, Kevin (Tara's boyfriend) was there cleaning up or something, and I tried to throw something (like a screw or a gum wrapper) into the trash box under the stairs, but I missed, so I just picked it back up since it bounced back over in front of me and went on back to the sink. I threw the thing in the trash and then I washed my hands.
Afterwards I was getting ready to get a drink, and Steve (another coworker) came up with about 5 boards and was going to chop them there at the paper towel dispenser. I hurried up and got my drink of water since the fountain was right under the paper towels, and then got out of the way.
Then I was back over in front of shipping, just getting ready to go in, and I had that piece of Foam-core that Shawn wanted. It was a big 4x8 foot sheet, and about a half an inch thick. I had it out to my right side and it was blowing around in the "breeze" that I was making by walking. Then it kept rippling and curling up and folding up. I got out to the door that I go out at night, and I was looking for Shawn, but he had already gone out. Evidently the second horn had blown and I didn't hear it.
So I went on out and saw him coming around the end of the parking lot in his truck. There were LOTS of cars parked down there, and I remember that Brian (a guy I went to church with and was a grade below me) was in his car next to me. He had 3 other guys with him, and one of them was Evan (from the farm down the road from where I lived). So Brian was talking to me about something about having his door open and going along and hitting children with it and saying "oh, I'm sorry!" and then closing the door.
As I was getting into my car, I saw Evan there in the back seat and so I gave him the now rolled up foam board and he was happy with it. Then I think I got on in my car and Brian drove off, and then I did, too.

Sawdust Overflow
I was at work (Merillat) and there was this huge pile of sawdust that had to be cleaned up, and it had all these little one by one by one inch blocks in it. Normally I would put stuff like that in the dumpster, but I didn't this time. I was trying to push it all down into the hog belt at the bridge. And there was a LOT of it. It filled up the area over there just beyond the bridge where they keep all those carts of wood. I was trying to go faster and faster, but whoever was pushing the sawdust to me was going too fast for me to keep up with.
King's Dominion Volcano Tower and Arcade
I started out seeing an ad or demonstration on this new ride at King's Dominion. (there really is a new ride there about something about a volcano and two people are in a car and it shoots out the top and around on this track) It was about that new volcano ride, but I remember seeing that at one point it actually goes under water, and then after that is when it shoots way up and out and goes around the track really fast. I even remember seeing the two people on it.
There was a boy and a girl and when it went under water, it didn't go through a tunnel. It just actually submersed the track and car and people completely, so you were soaking wet when you came back up. I think that it actually went under water twice.
Then I wound up going and getting on the ride. There was a girl with me, but I'm not really sure who it was. (it could've been Kate) I remember going under water and then coming back out and then shooting up this ramp. Oh, another thing I remember about this was that It was almost like it was indoors. It was in this building that I think the top of it was open, or had skylights or something, but there were walls all around. It was shaped a little like this:
At the point of "x" was where you got on it and it went under water. Like I said, I went under water and then up this ramp that shot straight over to point "z". I remember that I kept getting my arms and legs, especially on my left side, hit on the walls, especially on the corner sticking out over at "z". There were all these people watching from balconies and floors that were all around this room, because this room was multiple stories tall. I'd say about 3 or 4 stories tall.
When I got off again back at "x", I remember that everyone was applauding me for riding it and getting all banged up but coming out of it okay. I looked around and smiled and then I put my arms straight out to my sides and took a bow for everyone. Then I left there and went elsewhere in the park.
At one point I got to this bowling place, and it was just before it opened, and it was snowing outside. A girl was with me again, and this time I'm pretty sure it was Kate. She said something about the snow and maybe something about how it wasn't supposed to be snowing out, and I remember telling her that it was fake snow. It was man made. I even remember looking at it in the palm of my hand, and I even felt the cold from it. It was more like little chunks of ice than it was snow. But the girl didn't believe me, and she started to fall asleep. I remember trying to tell her not to fall asleep because it was man made snow, but she just wouldn't listen.
I was on the sidewalk out in front of this little bowling place, and she had laid over next to this little tree just on the edge of the grass. I looked to the front of the building, and I saw that the place was opening now, so I bent down and brushed all the snow off of her face and away from her closed eyes and told her again that the snow was fake and that the place was opening now.
She finally got up and we went inside, and I remember standing just inside the doors, and there were basically two halves to the building. The side I walked in on had things like skeeball. That side was fairly dark. Then then other side had the bowling stuff, and it had lots of windows and stuff, so it was really light over there. Things got pretty fuzzy here, and there was something about going around through the arcade. I don't know if it was on the skeeball side of the building or if it was some other place. There was some other stuff going on that I can't remember, and something about lots of money, I think.

Rapping Sports Event
I showed up at this big auditorium/bar and there was some sort of event going on. At first I think I thought it was some sort of sporting event. So I came in the back of the auditorium and started down to the bottom, but the bottom wasn't necessarily the front. It seems that there was a wall there, and whatever was happening was actually going on somewhere in the middle.
When I was about halfway down, I got to this little thing that was like a podium that was something like the roll top desk. I just got down there, and there was some guy there that I thought was going to try to get rid of me, but Jamiroquoi (the singer) came down and was showing this guy his album. It was like it was his first one, and he was trying to get it sold or made or something.
Then I ended up leaving and going down to the front and there was a girl down there that I was supposed to be sitting with. As I was heading down there, I passed a couple of guys that were rappers, I think, and I believe that one of them was L.L. Cool J. or at least he looked like him, and it was like we were friends or something, and so we talked for a bit and as I continued down farther, there was a group of guys (also rappers) that were off to my right just across from where I was going to be sitting. I said hi to them and then went and sat down with this girl.
Someone in front of us was picking on her or something, and she had her jacket up to hide her face from them. They were kind of off to her left, and I was on her right, so I could still see her face. I asked her what they were doing, and I think either she told me, or I saw them throw something at her. So I told them to stop, and they did and got up and left. I think I told her it was okay, and she put down her jacket.

Short Flight To Canada
I was driving along 256 towards Grottoes or towards the airport, and it was night time. I remember it was a little foggy or something. Then I was there at the airport, and I had a flight to go to Canada, and this one was flying direct from Weyers Cave to Canada. I got on and I remember sitting on the plane, and after an hour and a half, I was there.
I can't remember what I did while I was there, but I remember that where ever Kate (girl from Canada) and I were, it looked a lot like a twisted version of my house. Then I came back home, and I was in my room and talking to Nick (step-brother) about the trip. I asked him to guess how long it took me to get there, and whatever he guessed, it was way off. Then I told him and "showed him" on a 3D map (but it was in my mind) the straight shot course from Virginia to Canada, but for some reason Canada was close to the southern border of California, because that's the line that was drawn in my dream. I think then I sat here and talked to Nick about it for a little bit, and then it was done...

Charlottesville Driving and Lunch Samples
I was over in Charlottesville, and I was driving down the road that goes by McIntyre Park. I think I was going away from the mall at first, and then I was doing something, and then I was on my way back.
While on my way back, I had to get off on this "exit" to be able to continue on the road I was on. It went uphill to a road that crossed, and I just had to go across that one and down the other side. I noticed when I got up there that there was a sign. It was yellow and a square turned on it's corner, and it had a smiley face.
I then continued on down the other side and on to wherever I was heading. I remember thinking that McIntyre Park was behind me because I had already passed it, but that wasn't where I was going.
Then I remember being on the road that K-Mart is on, and I was going to the main road, but for some reason I was in the way and I was all turned around in the lanes or something. There were lots of other cars around, but I think that the people that I was in the way of were ones that were walking. Anyway, so I think I finally got straightened out after being in the way for a while, and the next thing I remember was that I was at "school" only it looked more like the Staunton mall.
I think it was supposed to be before school, and the girls in the cafeteria were setting out things to sample for the lunch that was coming that day. So I ended up getting a lot of stuff like mashed potatoes and some sort of chicken thing and several other little servings of things, but by the time I got them all on my plate, it filled up my plate, and I was basically already eating lunch. Someone was flabbergasted that I got so much food already, and I remember saying that I'd pay for it, but they said something about that I didn't need to do that, and they thought it was silly of me to think so. So then I put two dollars in the paper cup there that had a little bit of money in it, and everyone applauded me.
Then I remember only a brief picture of walking around in this area that almost reminds me of a combination of the courtyard in Zork Nemesis, and a mall, but I think it was still supposed to be school. There were all these tables around that looked like round versions of the tables in the Harrisonburg mall, and I think that Ellen (supervisor from Merillat) was sitting and talking to someone at one of them, but I didn't stop to say anything.
