Longest Dream Ever

Another explanation of random people...
Ryan: friend of mine
Theo: friend, x-boyfriend
Anna: Theo's old roomate (not next-door neighbor Anna, different one)
Erin: next-door neighbor from school
Charity: family friend
Hope: Charity's niece
Sam: one of my sisters
Kresge: name of my college within Santa Cruz

And just for the record.... I have no idea where the Harry Potter references came from.

I was at Target with Ryan and he still worked there. I was walking around the store while they were closing and grabbing birthday preasents for ryan and stuffing them into a bag. I did not want to pay for them so I was thinking about stealing them but it was more likely I was going to end up just handing the bag to Ryan then leaving.

My mom came in to Target while I was there to buy warm clothing for my sisters because they were going to try to live in a car in this gorgeous place but it was freezing cold there. I went with my mom to see the place they were going to live at and it was in this beautiful area with hills and mountains and ice caps and a big lake at the bottom. I really wanted to see what was in the valley between these two beautiful mountains. So my mom got closer and closer with the car and the closer we got the more I wanted to go right between the mountains and actually be there rather than just look at it from a distance. But... we didn't go there.

Me and some people were running from a cop. It was at school in Santa Cruz but the landscape was very desert-like. I went into this building that reminded me of how the classrooms in Kresge look. I kept going through one door then climbing in a passageway it had then it would reach another door and I would go through that one until my journey had turned into this complex maze of passageways and I had completely lost myself in it. I got to the top level and it was Erin’s apartment. Erin and like three other girls were all in the room sleeping. I went through their room to the balcony and saw that there was a way for me to get down but I would have to make a pretty big jump and I wasn’t sure I wanted to try it. I was sick of running so I just stood on the balcony and decided to pretend I had been there the whole time and deny my involvement in the chase. Erin asked me what was going on and I don’t remember if I explained to her or not... I don’t think I did. So the cop came into the apartment and started interrogating me and showing me a list of places I had been. He said he trailed me all the way to here so he had followed my exact path. I had been trying to say I wasn’t a part of it at all but never really said I wasn’t and I just acted really nice so he assumed I was a part of it. He was making me sign a huge list of all the places I had been and I had to sign under each individual place. I was signing everything then realized that I hadn’t been to a lot of these places (apparently I somehow remembered every exact door I had gone through and where I had been). While I was doing this I realized there was a ladder from Erin's balcony that I could have climbed down if I had decided to keep running, and was kind of mad at myself for not doing it. So I pointed out all the incorrect places to the cop and started crossing them off the list so I wouldn’t sign them. And he was confused as to how that was possible because he was entirely sure he had done a perfect job of following my path.

Then all the sudden we were in a contest and Charity, Hope, my sisters and some other people were there. We were in this huge canoe thing and we were trying to sail across a lake. There were powereded ingredients in the boat that we needed for the next task and we had to keep them dry. The boat kept flipping over. One of the times it flipped over was because charity stood up and flipped it, I hung on to the edge of it so that even though everyone had fallen out I could still keep the boat right-side up. I wanted credit for what I did but no one noticed it. I think Hope was in the boat or it was some other baby girl but she was really really tiny like the size of an apple or something (but visually when someone would get closer to her she wouldn’t seem quite as small). Everytime the boat got flipped over she was my first worry because she would start floating away and I would get really scared. Once I ordered Sam to grab her at the last minute. There were other teams that were also in canoes trying to reach the other side which was this dock thing. I think they were supposed to use the powdered ingrediants to begin cooking their assigned objects on the dock. When we got to the dock a lot of the people from other teams had fallen out and gone back. Our team had lost a lot of ingredients. No one else on my team had made it up on the platform yet and I could see that we were really far behind so I waited there for them. I was in a yellow bikini and dripping wet. I was leaning up against a pole on the second floor of the dock. These two guys pointed out my bathing suit and I felt stupid so I defended myself by saying that my mom had bought the bathing suit so I didn't really want it in the first place. All of the other groups were huddled in little circles planning things out. I just stood there and waited.
Now none of my family members were on the team so it was me and Theo and some random guys, and we were in an apartment somewhere waiting for something. At this point we were so far behind in the race that it was basically considered cheating to continue with it. All of the other teams had gotten to this place way before us but since they went on it was now completely deserted. So we waited there and Anna showed up and I felt like she had disappeared forever. She brought a huge shaggy gray dog with her. I was so excited to see her I went over and hugged her and was crying. We were brewing these huge rainbow bags of tea that looked more like water balloons and they sort of glowed and changed color and had a symbol in black on each of them. One of the people on our team was Hermione but she was disguised/had been turned into as an old man in some convent type of place. I think the tea was to change her back to her normal self so we could save her. So now the team was me, Theo, Anna and some random guy. We were all making a break for this building across the street. These scary-looking guys in a very nice car drove up. There was one in the driver's seat and one in the passenger seat and they looked exactly the same and some how strangely ape-like. They both had those little cell-phone ear pieces and had the look of very important business-men. They were very creepy and Theo said they were his bosses of some sort and we probably didn’t have to worry about them. So we were all running for an elevator that was inside this apartment building across the street from the one we were in. Someone started to come out from around a corner so we all scattered and me and Theo went into the same elevator, Anna and the random guy disappeared. Two other guys got in to the elevator with us and we were very scared that they would bust us. But we all just kind of stared at each other and decided that neither party was threatening to the other one. So the other two guys pressed a floor (all of the floors in the elevator went up to the hundreds and you could press any combination of numbers to get to a specific floor) these guys went to something like 162 and the elevator flashed a marquee title of the floor and said over a speaker “liquid chronic” (which in the dream was some sort of hard drug). One of the guys was a little asian guy that looked like Ishiro Suzuki, and he suddenly looked really stressed out and agitated. So the guys got off and then Theo pressed the floor he needed to go to which was “3”, when we did that the elevator said that access to that floor was not allowed and automatically started taking us to floor “7”. I gasped and looked at theo and said “seven!?” trying to que his excitement because I had realized that 7 is the most magical number. But theo just had an irritated and upset expression on his face and said “seven? I don’t want to go to floor 7”.
