I had taken some sort of trip, and I was in Savannah again. It was night time out, and I was walking along River Street trying to get home. (or at least what was supposed to be River Street. There were tall old buildings on my right and open space (including a river, perhaps?) to my left)
As I was walking along, I was feeling slightly fearful, although I'm not sure what the reason was for it. I wound up passing a person here and there. One was a woman. A little later I passed a black man wearing green mechanic's overalls. He wound up trying to strike up a conversation with me, but I really wasn't interested in talking to him.
Eventually he figured out (whether I told him, or he just assumed it from something I had said, I can't remember) that I was heading home, but I still had a ways to go. He offered for me to stay at his place for the night, but I didn't really want to. I tried to keep walking, and he was walking along with me. Finally we wound up passing a building and he walked up the stairs and said that we had made it to his place, and that I was welcome to stay the night. I declined and continued walking, but somehow I wound up in his apartment anyway. (when I got into his apartment, it was a nice one. Things were a warm cream color with excellent lighting. The furniture all looked new and comfortable. It was a big apartment, almost more like a house.)
The strange thing is when I got in there, he was no longer the black guy I had been conversing with, but he was now Sean (my cousin), and he was sitting on the sofa. For some reason, though, I still wasn't wanting to stay with him. I think at this point I was afraid that he was going to try to hit on me, even though I was his cousin. Soon after this, I think I finally gave in and found a place to sleep. I went to sleep and wound up having a dream within a dream.
I was floating out in the middle of this big grayish spherical room. It looked very technological, having piping and lights and such built into metallic paneled walls. There seemed to be several passageways that led out of the room, one basically lying in each major direction. There were 4 that went out horizontally (to my front, back, left, and right) and then one that went up and one that went down.
Right out in front of me was a woman's head. It was all metallic, and the color was between a gray and light blue. I think that her hair was even close to this color, although it may have been just a little darker. The only part about her that wasn't metallic were her eyes. They looked normal. Anyway, after a second, she got this big scared look on her face and did an exaggerated look downwards. Her head actually kind of shifted upwards while here eyes looked extremely down into the the tube below.
I wound up looking down to see what she was looking at, and when I did, I took off in that direction, flying down into the darkness of that tunnel. I don't remember what happened while I was down there, but the next thing I knew was that I was in the spherical room again, and the woman was in front of me again. She wound up doing the same thing as before, but this time I knew I didn't want to go down, so instead I looked up and I flew up in that direction. This tunnel was much better lit, but for some reason it still scared me quite a bit, and I wound up waking myself up by yelling.

Hurricane Irene
[Recently in waking life there has been a big hurricane in the news named Irene. It has come up through Florida and Georgia and North Carolina.]
In my dream, the hurricane had continued to make it's way up through Virginia, although, instead of coming from the south, it was coming from across the Blue Ridge Mountains to the east. I was outside, and it was terribly windy and such out, but not much rain on this side of the mountains.
As I looked across to the mountains, I saw that it had rained so much over there that evidently it had filled up the valley over there with water, and the wind was blowing so hard that it was making it churn around like an ocean. Waves were beating on the other side of the mountains, and they were jumping up over the tops of the mountains and splashing down just on the other side of the big barn across the road from our house.
I went inside for a bit while the storm wore itself out, and then soon after it had gotten sunny out. Aunt Irene, Mom, and I think Eric and Matthew (brothers), and I all went on a hike up this path on the mountains that led into one of the lower crossovers of the mountains. When we got to the top, we looked around on the other side, and all we saw was water. It was as high as the mountain we were on.
We continued on the pathway, which started down the other side, and we soon realized (because the water was up to our waists) that the path went too far into the water, and we didn't want to drown, so we turned around to come back. On our way back, there were these little brown and green lizards that were hanging from various leaves of plants, and Aunt Irene started talking about them, saying that she used to see them all the time when she was a kid. She said that they always had to be careful of getting too close to them because they'd jump out and clamp onto you like they were doing to the leaves. She also said that they weren't so bad and you didn't have to worry about them very much after they dried up and became crispy.

Angel House Cafe and Picking Up Stuff I forgot
[I never got around to fully writing this one out, obviously]
-Mike and Robin (from Papa John's in Savannah) starting up the Angel House Cafe, and having steaks and things like that.
-Going to apartment/house that I lived in last in Savannah, finding that no one had moved in, and stuff I had left behind was still there
-things like the red sofa and chair, lots of trash and boxes, and a bird bath that worked as a fountain.
-I somehow get in touch with Mike and tell him I'm hungry and want pizza. He shows up with Domino's regular crust cut Chicago style (circle pizza cut into squares, like they do with the thin crust at Papa John's).
-He also brings his truck so we can pack up the stuff I hadn't taken with me.
-Bird bath coming apart and expecting to smell like cat pee, but it had worn off.

Lucid Dream/Out of Body
I realized I was dreaming, and I was going around in mom's house and Matthew (brother) was around, and I was experimenting with making myself weightless and even reversing my gravity so I could walk on the ceiling. I did this in little spurts, although I had trouble concentrating enough to keep myself up there for much of an extended period of time. I was doing this in Matthew's bedroom, the kitchen, and the dining room, as well as my room.
Then after a little bit I was in the kitchen, and again Matthew was there, and I realized that with Butterscotch (Matthew's cat) being a cat that he could see me, and I might freak him out a little bit, so I walked up to him (from the direction where the old back door used to be) and he ended up taking off running. Then after that I decided that I wanted to swing on the ceiling fan in the kitchen, and so I climbed up on the table and jumped up and took hold, but I ended up ripping off 3 of the fan blades. I realized that I needed to concentrate on keeping myself light weight, and so I carefully reached up and kept myself light and took hold of the fan blade. It swung me around several times, and then I let go and jumped off.
Soon after that, I slipped into something a bit more dreamlike where I was looking at some sort of plans to clear out ceiling fan vents on the Titanic after it was brought up out of the sea and dried off. After looking at the plans, I was back in my room and I looked up in my ceiling, and there was the fan that we had just looked at for the Titanic. I got some sort of pole or something and started poking around behind the fan blades (which is where the vents went up into the ceiling) and started knocking out the chunks of dirt and mud.
Unfortunately this wasn't the only thing that came down with them. It turned out that several bodies, mostly those of children, were also caked up in the mud, and they started falling out of the vent. I looked up and there were several more up in there, and so I ran out to the kitchen again. After a moment I told myself that it was just all in my head, and when I went back into my room, nothing would be there, not even the dirt. So I went back over and opened up my door and sure enough, there was no dirt or bodies or anything.
I think that this somehow really clued me in to that I wasn't really up and awake, and so after trying the "walking on the ceiling" thing again in my room and the dining room, I went out into the kitchen. I somehow got myself floating up in the middle of the room with my feet facing towards the refrigerator, and I remembered how some people will imagine a strong falling sensation to make their astral bodies "fall" out of their physical bodies. I started to feel that as soon as I thought about it, and at first I stopped it, but I decided to let it go after all.
So I closed my eyes and let myself start "falling" feet first in the direction towards the refrigerator and slightly "up" into the sky. Everything seemed to turn into gray and color speckles sort of like static on a TV screen, and it all went rushing up past me. I kept falling faster and faster, and I even heard a roar in my ears. I'm not sure if it was the "wind" of falling or if it was the blood rushing through my ears, but I could still hear it when I ended up getting scared of what I might see and made myself wake up instead of projecting.

Movies with Cindy
I was with a group of friends at a movie theater, and Cindy (girl from school) was the one selling us the tickets. Andy (friend from school and church) and Nick (step-brother) were both there, but I don't remember who else was there. I think they each had their girlfriends there with them or something, but I'm not sure about that.
Anyway, we ended up going in to see this movie, which I think was supposed to be one of the romantic comedy types, but all I really remember about it was a big mountain scene at the end and then the credits, and the lights coming back on while everyone was getting up. It turned out that Cindy had come in there with us to watch it, and she was sort of like my date there, but she was sitting up a couple of rows ahead of me.
After we got up and all walked out, Cindy had to do a couple of things as far as finishing up the stuff with the theater, and then she was free to go with us. Nick had driven his own car, and he had parked it right out front, but while we were inside, a cop had come along and put one of those tire things on it to keep it from going anywhere, and wrote him a ticket. For some reason we all found this laughable. Also, when I looked back out at his car, it actually was like he had a jet ski, and it was up on a trailer and hooked to the back of a pick-up truck. The wheel that had been locked was the passenger side one on the trailer.
So we all ended up piling into either my car or Cindy's car, but Cindy was the one driving, and so we were going down the road, and some crazy driver was behind us, weaving back and forth and such. We thought he was drunk, and then we saw a cop pull up behind them. We were all thrilled because we thought that he was going to get pulled over. Then cop lights came on on the first car, and it turned out it was an unmarked vehicle, and he ended up pulling us over. I remember hearing his siren several times in short blips, but nothing too bad.
I was waiting for Cindy to pull over, but for some reason it seemed like she was thinking that she wanted to make sure that they were really wanting to pull us over instead of someone else. So finally she pulled over and the cop came up to the window. He was acting strangely, though. He was being extremely forceful, and at the same time he was laughing and joking around. I couldn't quite figure out what was going on.
Anyway, he ended up looking at Nick and asking for his license. Nick was in the process of getting a new one and so all he had was a sheet of paper that had all the info on it that he needed. The cop took it and jovially ripped it up and told him to be at a certain church at a certain time the next day to get his real license. We were wondering about the one he had just ripped up, and how he was supposed to get there without it, but evidently since the cop did it, then he'd know that Nick had it and it would be okay.
So we ended up leaving that point and heading to a restaurant or cafe of some sort and just sat around at these tables. Even though Cindy was there, I ended up not sitting with her for some reason. I think that everyone else was sitting as couples, though.
I can't remember if someone was actually sitting with Cindy or not, but there was this girl there that had gotten upset about something, and she ended up getting up from her table and coming over to me and taking my hand and taking me over to her table. She was tall and thin and had blond hair that was a little longer than shoulder length, I think. She was right about my age, but I'm not sure if I knew her or not. She was wearing a long white dress that was fairly simple, but very flattering. I think she seemed somewhat familiar in my dream, but I'm not certain.
When we got over to her booth, she wound up sort of laying across the table, and I was either sitting on the end of the seat or standing next to her at the end of the table. I looked around briefly, and off to some tables to my right and next to the windows, there were two girls their with their boyfriends. (It may have been Andy's and Nick's girlfriends, but I'm not sure) Anyway, they each had on a dress that flattered them like the blond girl's did. The one that I mainly remember, she had shorter brown/red hair and the dress was dark. I then turned my attention back to the girl that had brought me over to her table, and she was laying somewhat on her back on the table. I laid my hand on her stomach/side, and I could feel from her stomach that she was really sad about something. I wanted to ask her what was wrong, but I didn't for some reason.

Drew Barrymore, The Dead Girlfriend
I started out on some sort of road trip. I wound up going inside this little restaurant/house that sort of like a Mom and Pop's Greasy Spoon kind of place. While I was in there, I somehow found out about this girl who had died, and it turned out that it was Drew Barrymore. As time progressed, I found out that she had been my girlfriend before she had died. It was weird talking to her because no one else could see her, and she was telling me about being dead. I wish I could remember everything that she had told me, but I can't. I know that there was one point where I had asked her something about these metal spheres I used to have around (the ball bearings that I had picked up from Merillat) and I found out that they were supposed to be physical representations of her anger or negative feelings. When I found that out, I felt really bad because I felt that it was because of me for some reason. Either that, or I just hadn't "done enough" to keep those sorts of things away from her.
Soon after finding this out, I ended up going outside, and while I was out there, I spotted a little blue Geo Metro that had Kentucky license plates on it, and I was thinking that someone I knew might be there, although in the dream I couldn't think of who it was.

Gremlins
I first remember going to the grocery store in Weyers Cave, and it was specifically for something dealing with Gremlins. I'm not sure what it was, but I ended up going way out into the parking lot (it had a big Wal-mart like parking lot) to a car that a girl was at. I think she may have been somewhat close to my age, but I'm not sure. I had parked close to the front of the store, but she was parked out farther in the parking lot.
I was running out there to warn her of the stuff of how to be sure to take care of a gremlin (such as no food after midnight, and keeping water away from them) but I was too late, and she had already fed it, I think (even though it wasn't after midnight, it still affected it) It was in her back seat on the drivers side, and for some reason, I thought that throwing water on it would be a good thing to get rid of it. I'm not sure why, though.
Then we ended up running inside the store and trying to shut it down. We were trying to lock the doors and keep people from coming in or going out because we didn't want the gremlins to come in after us. I think the thing of getting it wet and it having babies stuck in my head, because I was thinking that at first they'd be small like ping-pong balls, but they would grow very rapidly to their normal size.
I was trying to get us locked up so that they couldn't get in, but people kept wanting in and out of the store, and we couldn't keep the doors locked because of it. I was really getting worried about the gremlins coming in and eating us, and I kept trying to convince people that they'd do so if we didn't keep the doors locked and keep them out, but no one wanted to believe me. I couldn't figure out why people weren't worried at all about being eaten, and I tried to convince them via the argument that if they got into the store and locked in, we'd survive for days on all the food in there and the gremlins would never be able to make it through the glass and brick of the building, and eventually they'd either go away or die. Also, as an argument, I tried pointing out their teeth to people. I told them, "When the gremlins were small, their teeth were like this," and held up a hand, showing the tiny space between my index finger and thumb, "but when they're full grown it's more like this," and used entire fingers as teeth and made a chomping motion with them.
It didn't seem to scare anyone into locking up the store, and eventually the gremlins started showing up outside. I think that it had just rained or something, because I remember it being a little damp outside. I think I could see them outside heading our way, but no one was doing anything to try to stop them or prevent them from coming into the store. I woke up before they made it into the store.
