I'm Not A Pedophile, I swear.

Preface: I had this dream while i was up on the mountain, and i couldn't write it down right away, so i don't remember it really well, but it was pretty vivid and disturbing, so i'm gonna go ahead and write down as much as i can remember.

It started out with me...at the beach...somewhere? And Jace's nephew and niece were there. The niece asked me something how it was babysitting them, and i was like "umm...i don't remember that happening..." She said that her mom had told her that i had babysat them or something, so i jokingly said, "Well, she LIED to you!" I immediately decided that that was a REALLY bad idea because telling a 3-year-old that their parents lied to them is horrible, and they're not gonna understand the joking tone or anything.
Later on, i was getting ready to leave with my mom. There were two girls around. One of them was MY niece, and the other was some random...dark-skinned...native american-looking...9ish-year old girl. I didn't want to deal with either one of them, so i tried to get into the car and close the door to get away, but it didn't work. My niece opened the door and tried to say something to me, and i tried to close it again, but she blocked it. Eventually, she left, so i tried to close the door again, but then the OTHER girl came to harass me. "DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND, BRIAN??? I'M IN LOVE WITH YOU!!!" she shouted, as she opened the door before i could lock it. I was freaking out at this point. I really didn't want to deal with whatever was happening, and my mom was in the car by this time, so i wanted her to start driving. She did, and as the girl lost her grip on the door, i was finally able to close and lock it. As i did, i yelled "For the love of God, get OUT OF HERE!" I thought that may have been a bad idea as we started to swerve around with the possibility of flipping over into the sand. Now that i had my door locked, we weren't in any "danger," so we could've just gotten away casually. Trying to get away quickly could have been counter-productive, because if we got flipped over into the sand, then we'd REALLY be screwed, and i wouldn't know what to do about that girl.

Spaghetti Robbery

I was with Theo, Lilly, and someone else somewhere. We were trying to buy alcohol from a market. The three of them went in there while I waited outside. When they came back out Theo was dressed in a pharoe costume and had a popsicle. I asked what the hell he was doing, and he said that the popsicle was alchoholic. Lilly came back out with a fifth of whiskey, making Theo's popsicle look kind of pathetic. I thought that was funny.
We passed out on a bed or floor that was covered in spaghetti. I was eating the spaghetti. When I got up later I put parmesean cheese on Theo as he slept, still in his pharoe costume.
I was on a roof and asked the owner how to get down. I had to climb down a ladder and wait for someone to open a door on the other side of the wall. Charity was down there to open the door. I had Mango with me and we were covered in mud. There was a railing in front of me that I wanted to climb over, but I remembered that the guy said a lot of people get hurt doing that, and since I had Mango with me and we were covered in mud I decided it would be best not to do that. So I waited and asked Charity to hold Mango for me. She did but almost dropped her. I caught her just as I finished climbing over and I had to hang on to Mango's leg so she wouldn't fall. I hoped that I hadn't hurt her leg. Charity was wearing a green skirt with broken marbles glued to it. I thanked her for her help.
I was walking downtown with my mom, John, and my sisters. These three guys were about to walk past us and one of them was smiling at me. I smiled back at him and as we got closer both of our smiles got bigger. He put his hand out to give me a high-five and I gave him one. He grabbed my hand and pulled me toward him, forcefully hanging on to me. I struggled but then he pulled a gun on me and asked for my wallet. I gave it to him and saw my student ID and bank cards and money sticking out of it, which made me think about all the things I would have to replace. He then went over to my sisters and took Sam's wallet and a bunch of CDs Mattie had. He left with our stuff and I started crying. I hugged my sisters and told them I was so sorry that happened and said that was really stupid of me. My mom sat and watched us with a sympathetic look and told me she was sorry and not to worry about it. I told her to call the cops and tell them what happened. She said "oh, right" and pulled out her phone. She also gave me her wallet so I could have spending money for today. I told her it was alright and that I didn't need it. I asked Sam if she had anything aside from money in her wallet. She told me that she had breakfast gift cards. I told Mattie that was the fourth time I've been robbed in a year. She said "really?" and I started listing all the times I'ld been robbed. I told her about once at Trader Joe's, a couple other times I don't remember, and then the whole gunpoint thing in Berkeley.

My Dad, The Yo-Yo Master

For some reason, i decided to drive up to San Luis Obispo to randomly visit Jimmy. As soon as i got there, I saw Brad. He came up to me and said, "hey man! it's good to see you again!" I agreed, and i asked him what he was doing there. He told me he was picking up some of Jimmy's free stuff that he was giving away because he was moving. We went inside the house, and we sat down next to the bar with some cute girls...well, he sat down, but there were no more chairs left, so i just kinda squated. He introduced me to all the girls, and suddenly, i noticed, that while i was squatting, i was holding a chair. I was stoked that i now had something to sit in. At some point, a few of us decided to walk down to the beach. There was a canopy area on the inland side of the railroad tracks that we hung out at for a while, and it seemed like all new people at this point. There was some weird stuff that went on there including a guy running around doing flying kicks, but i don't remember much else from that part. We walked by a group of lifeguards, and somebody said we were "starwatching" or something like they were celebrities or something, but i changed it to "crosswatching" because they were lifeguards, and they all wore the red crosses on their bathing suits. They were all hot at first, but as we walked forward, we saw a bunch of naked fatties taking showers. After that, we crossed the tracks to get on the beach, and by this time, i was mostly with my family. I layed down on the beach, and near where my mom was, i saw my dad yo-yoing. "Oh, cool," i thought, so i watched him yo-yo for a while, and he was doing some really cool stuff (beyond his and my skill levels). At first, he was wearing a blue and grey striped shirt that he used to wear all the time, then he was wearing a brown striped shirt, and then he was wearing a black shirt that said, "Big Five O". While wearing that shirt, he stopped yo-yoing, he started walking around where i was, and the reverie within the dream began to fade. He layed down a few feet from me on the other side. I got up to look at that spot, and there was a big black guy wearing a "Big Five O" shirt. Then, i looked at where my dad had been standing before, and there was ANOTHER black guy in a "Big Five O" shirt. I thought that was so cool how that vision worked, and i told my family about it while i was still in the dream. My sister said something like, "oh, so he looked healthy?" I told her, "Of course he did, he always does in my dreams." But she kept pushing the subject, "He always looks really sick in my dreams." So i finally snapped at her, "I guess that's why i didn't go see him after he died!" She responded to that by just kinda matter-of-factly saying, "I guess you're right, it is my fault." Right then, there was a funeral starting on the beach, and that's about when i woke up.

Anaheim

I was on a greyhound bus. We stopped at a station and were waiting for this lady to get on the bus. She looked like Julia Roberts, and insisted that she take a shower first. So we waited for her, and when she came out she ran into the bus driver's arms and they hugged liked they hadn't seen each other in years. I realized that she was the driver's wife, and I was very happy for them.
I was on another ISV trip that began in Anaheim. I was thinking about how how I was going to be spending all this time very near to Justin but I wouldn't get to see him. That really bothered me and made me want to quit the whole trip.
Before we got to the hostel we stopped at Safeway to buy groceries for the next few days. Just as we started shopping they began turninng off all the lights in the store. Everyone was bummed, but our leaders said we could just come back tomarow.
I was riding in the car and imagining a scenario where I asked Justin to come up to my room with me. I then realized that I was probably going to share a room with someone, and imagined Erin sitting on a bed. I imagined him coming over to visit me sometimes, and realized that he worked most nights.
We got back to the hostel and Justin was somehow with me now. He was showing me pictures of a mansion and I asked if that was his mom's house. He said no, and told me what it actually was. We went up to my room. Justin asked me why I hadn't gone out to the club with everyone else. I told him I wasn't really in to dancing and that I'ld rather stay here. Justin layed down on the floor with his head propped in his hand, and I sat cross-legged as he was telling me about a trip he would be taking for the next three weeks. He said he was going to New Mexico, Colorado, and Nevada. I told him that it made me feel better he would be gone all this time since I have to be in Anaheim. Then we started talking about each other and Justin asked me why I was so quiet for such a long time. I told him that for a while after I realized I was attracted to him I got really intimidated when I was around him and Brian. I explained that part of it was that I felt like they were more intelligent than me, and another part of it was that he and Brian were close and I felt like the things I did might be discussed between them later on. And part of it was just that I really liked Justin and was hyper-sensitive to making myself look stupid. I started talking about how I didn't want to be so reserved and I would make a point of reminding myself not to worry about it so much but when I was with them I would just get quiet again. Justin was laughing as he listened to this, and so was I, in the dream I felt very relieved and relaxed. During our conversation we had sat closer to each other and would occasionally casually touch each other's arms or hands. I moved over to Justin and layed down next to him. He said he wanted to kiss me, and moved all my hair (which was long again) out of my face and did. We kissed for a while, and then sat around talking about nothing for a while. It was morning now and I left the room to get ready.
Some of the people from my group were back now and all the girls were rushing around the bathroom. I washed my face with a huge smile and brushed my teeth. The walls in the bathroom were painted bright blue and the lights were very soft, making everyone else's faces blurry. I hardly even noticed their presence.

Thunder Mountain: The Death Ride

I was at Disneyland with my mom, and there was some weird stuff goin' on. Some of the shops were blocked off for some odd reason. I tore down the barrier from one of them and got inside posing as an official inspector type person (an official inspector type person that wears a giant red dog costume). I think i was involved in some sort of prank on the store, but i forget what the motive was now. Basically, i was just supposed to tell them everything that was wrong with the store. I kept running a clip through my mind of someone else playing the same prank and the things they said. While i was in the store, someone wanted to get a picture with me (in my costume, of course), so i obliged, but it seemed like they took about 80 pictures before letting me go. I finally left the store, but then i was in some sort of trouble. A cop told me to come back in the store so she could interrogate me (she was pretty cute for a cop). I got her name (Phase), but then she got distracted right away, so i just walked away. I went on the Matterhorn, and i was watching the people on Thunder Mountain. I noticed that on certain parts of the ride, the rear cart would actually come OFF the track. "Wow, that's really cool," i thought, and i decided i wanted to go on it again. Then, at the end of the ride, there was an upside down part, and the entire train just fell off the track to the ground below. "Yep, never going on THAT ride again," i thought. The only other thing i remember was trying to stop a giant swinging...punching bag...thing before it hit/injured someone.

Jaguars Live in Redwood Forests

I was walking with Erin in upper-campus. We turned around and saw a huge Jaguar behind us. We were both petrified, and I felt so tangibly afraid in my dream. We turned to keep walking, and the Jaguar attacked us. We somehow defended ourselves and pushed the cat into a box. We ran away as fast as we could.
When we were back on campus I was telling everyone what happened. I wasn't sure how I had managed that, but I was proud of myself for fighting him off. When I told Shayna about it, she asked if I was sure it wasn't a mountain lion. I said it was all black, so I was positive. But I admitted that it was wierd to see a Jaguar in a redwood forest.

Prison

I was with my mom and sisters and we were all flying.
I was going to jail. A cop led me to my cell and when I looked inside it was completely bare. It hit me how lonely and scary it was going to be to have to live here. When I went inside a second time there were books and a desk and all kinds of things in there. I had a phone too, but I could only call my family on it. I was sad that I couldn't call Theo. I had a window that looked out over the whole city of Santa Cruz. I could see the hills and the boardwalk and the ocean. It was absolutely beautiful, but I realized how sad it would be to look out and see all these wonderful things that I couldn't be a part of. I had brought my cat, Jack, with me and was glad to have him. I had been talking the the cop, who was a woman, about all these things as I looked around. I told her I was glad to have a friend, and she left the room and slammed the door. I wondered if she realized I was talking about Jack.

Win Your Own Seat at the WSOP Just By Watching!

I was watching a WSOP event on TV, and the featured table had Steve Dannenman in it. I also saw my old friend from elementary school (and beyond), Fred Yeilding at the table. Somehow, this turned into ME playing in a WSOP event with Joseph Hachem, Steve Dannenman, Doyle Brunson, and my old best friend, Brad Marquis (among others, of course). Strangely enough, i actually had to deal, and when i did, it seemed like i was dealing to about 20 people. This got really confusing, and about halfway around the table, i decided to start giving everyone both cards at the same time. When i got back around to the beginning of the table, they all had two cards too, but one of them was face up. Doyle (who was away from the table) had a K showing, and i was like, "what is this?" I pushed it under his other card, pulled it out again, and it was an Ace. "Woah!" i thought, so i did it again, but only halfway, and now it was half Ace and half Jack. I dealt my self Q-4, and i folded out of turn before i even finished dealing to everyone else. I think i woke up before i ever finished dealing the hand.

Poker After Scrubs

I was going on some sort of trip with my mom (possibly to washington), and i believe we were going to Disneyland on the way. We saw some girl we knew in the middle of the road. It looked like Naomi, but that's not who it was. My mom explained to me why she was there, but i don't remember the reason now. We stopped at my sister's house, and they had some people over for a 24 hours of prayer type thing. Taylor Truett was one of them. It was here that i realized i had not packed ANY clothes for our trip. After going to the bathroom, i went back to get some clothes (suddenly, my house was basically connected to Lynae's). From here, my mom exited the picture, and i was suddenly going on a road trip with Scott Haddad and Jimmy Glynn (played by Zach Braff). I don't remember where we were going, but there was definitely a poker tournament involved. We stopped at some arcade to play air hockey and stuff. Scott won the 3-way air hockey match. Jimmy's girlfriend didn't want him to go play poker, and we thought our plans might be thwarted. After we convinced her, i said, "THANK YOU" as i hugged her and kissed her on the cheek. Jimmy did the same, but i pushed her back toward him and said, "try a little harder than that," so they made out for like 5 minutes. While Scott and i were waiting for them, i quietly joked, "geez, not THAT hard..."

New Mexico

I was in Santa Cruz with Shayna and Erin. They had both signed up for a weekend-long camping trip in New Mexico. I felt like I wanted to go but I was kind of afraid of being away for so long. I finnally agreed to go. Erin and I got there and Shayna was already there because she had driven herself. I wandered off by myself to see what the land was like. It was a dense redwood forest, completely pristine; in the dream it reminded me of Humboldt. After walking around I told Erin that it was really beautiful here but I was surprised this was the way it looked. I kept getting random feelings of fear virging on panic. I felt very disconnected, and my cell phone didn't work. I knew that I couldn't call Theo. I tried to keep my mind on what we were doing because I knew we would have fun.

Poker After Zack

I was in a Poker After Dark tournament, but it was in someone's backyard. It ended up being Zack and I heads up, but i don't remember what happened after that.

My Teeth Hurt

I was trying to go for a run but Theo was with me and wanted to talk to me. I ran for a little while, but stopped when I got to the soccer field. We walked from there and I later realized I had cut my run very short by doing that. I was pissed that Theo got in the way of my running.
I was riding on a greyhound bus that some random guys were driving. I was in the front seat waving at the people outside. I was doing it jokingly, and when I noticed that some girls were laughing at me, I started doing a over-acted princess wave. Now they were cracking up. Theo was watching me. I knew he was thinking that I was going through a lot of trouble just to entertain these girls. At one point the guys driving weren't paying any attention and I got pissed at them. Throughout the bus ride my teeth were hurting because I was bumping them on the seat. The car continued to swerve a little but it eventually got better. They asked if they could drop me off at Disneyland. I told them that it's kind of far from my house and told them that mine was just a couple exits further. I was basically planning on tricking them into driving me all the way home.

Katherine

Katherine = girl from NZ trip

I had gone to visit Katherine in Oregon. We were swimming in a lake. As we swam toward the dock the water got progressively more shallow. There were lots of little fish and things in it.

Whoops, Forgot to Title This One...

I was playing some sort of poker-type game that also involved rolling dice and flipping coins. The only person i recognize/remember who i was playing with was Matt Ellis. There was a Hi-pot and a Lo-pot. The game was odd, and i didn't fully understand it, but i had played it before. I had a bunch of cards in my hand, and i had a fullhouse of tens over aces. I decided that's what i was going to play (like finding a poker hand in tripoli), but then i couldn't find my aces. I was walking around for a while trying to find them, and i finally did. I put my cards out, and somebody else rearranged them because i guess i couldn't do that. I guess the object was to pair up without using any of my own pairs. That means playing the tens was a bad idea since i had all of them (almost).

Later, i was playing Texas Hold'em with a few pros in a tournament setting. I believe Daniel Negreanu was sitting next to me, and Mike Matusow was also at the table along with Gus Hansen. I flopped a straight on the big blind, so i threw out a small bet. Gus tried to push me all in, and Daniel acted out of turn to call. I decided i better call at this point even though there was a possible flush draw out there. I was convinced i had the best hand at the time, and i'd be an idiot to fold. As i was counting my chips (to see if the bet had really pushed me all in), my sister and other family members were cheering me on. I gave them a slow "shhhhhhhh" to calm them down, and everyone laughed. Unfortunately, i woke up before seeing the culmination of the hand.

When Are We Playing Poker?

I had non-stop dreams about poker. Some involved me watching poker on TV, and some involved me playing poker online.

Oh yeah, i also dreamed that i had long hair and braces. That was weird.

Being The Mom

Dana = kid at school
Tyler = high-school friend
Kristin = high-school acquaintance
Lenna = my stepmom
Barbara and Kristi = Lenna's moms
Sam and Mattie = my sisters
Jack = used to be our cat

I was standing on the balcony in a Kresge apartment. Dana ran by me and jumped over the ledge, he was holding a big map and I caught the other end of the map when Dana was about to hit the ground. I then decided that it would be kind of funny if I let go, so I did, and Dana fell a few feet onto the pavement and a bunch of his friends who had been standing underneath him. They were kind of pissed but no one was hurt.
I was with my friends from high school at prom. I was sitting at a table wearing a black evening gown with Tyler, Kristin, and another guy. They were all telling me they knew someone who had a crush on me, but they wouldn't tell me who it was. After I tried guessing a few times I decided this was stupid and I didn't really care that much.
I was waiting in line for the bathroom. There weren't a lot of people waiting but it was taking really long so I left the line. Once I left the line cleared up a lot, but when I went back I was now behind even more people. More and more people kept showing up and cutting in front of me. I eventually got to the front of the line but a guy went into the bathroom in front of me. I grabbed him and told him it was my turn and he'ld better leave. So he did, and when I went into the bathroom there was water spraying out of the toilet and some guy in the corner throwing up. I was pissed that I had fought someone else for the worst bathroom ever, and ended up leaving without even using it.
I was driving with my dad, Lenna, Barbara, Kristi, Sam and Mattie to go snorkeling. For some reason I started running along side the car as it was driving down the freeway. The person driving started to merge so I almost got crushed between two cars in the process. I kind of felt like the driver did that maliciously. When I got back in the car I left the door open, and our cat, Jack almost jumped out. I held on to him and he sat down in my lap. We got to the place and we now had a dachsund with us. I told my dad that he shouldn't bring his dog here because now we're gonna have to leave it in the car for a really long time. He told me not to worry about it but I was really upset. He took the dog with us into the place. However he didn't put a leash on it and I was really afraid it was going to run away. We got inside and the person who was going to lead our tour told us to wait. The dog was running around playing with the leader's dog now and I felt a little better thinking that it could probably stay in his house. Everyone had gone somewhere now except for my sisters and I. Mattie and Sam were fighting, and Mattie picked up the little sprayer-faucet thing from the sink and was trying to spray Sam with it. In doing so she was getting water all over this guy's counter and house. I came over to Mattie and told her to stop and that she was being incredibly rude to the person whose house this was. There was a random guy using the sink next to her and he started scolding her too. I wanted to tell him to shut up and that I was handing this.

Alcohol Police

I was staying at Justin's house, only his house was a huge mansion by the beach. He was having a party and a bunch of people were over, including Brian and Chris, and there was live music. I had had quite a few beers at this point, and when I reached across Justin for another one I uncoordinatedly bumped into Justin. Justin took the beer from my hand in that "you've had enough" kind of way, and I felt really stupid. Then he started drinking the beer. I thought he was actually pretty drunk himself so it kind of pissed me off but I got over it.

I Don't Even Know...

Corinne = girl I ran cross-country with in high school
Anna Malik = friend at school
Shayna = friend at sc
Nikki = bar tender at a bar I used to go to
Theo = friend
Anna Huemmer = Theo's roomate

I was staying in a wierd town with some of my friends. We were at a surf shop waiting for Corinne to by a board. I left my board outside and when I came back someone had stolen it. They had cut off the outer skin of it, and just taken the actual board part of it. I was really pissed about it. I told everyone what had happened and they seemed too preoccupied to care. I started loading up all of my stuff into Anna Malik's car. I had everything with me that I had brought back to school from home as well as a bunch of other random stuff. It took a really long time to get everything loaded up because there were so many random, tiny objects. There were sets of dolls and glass figurines, dishes, baskets, and other things.
I was with Shayna and a random guy somewhere. The random guy gave me a mushroom and I decided to make tea out of it. I kind of wanted to drink it myself but didn't think I was feeling good enough to do so, and I figured Shayna would drink it. I wanted to steep another tea in there with the mushroom but the only thing I could find was this wierd kit to make tea, that had various brightly colored powders in it. The guy started telling me how I could make some tea, but at this point I had decided he was kind of a douche bag and I didn't really care what he thought about tea, so I just grabbed some of the purple powder and threw it in the mushroom tea. When I mixed the powder in the tea turned a really beautiful blue color. Shayna showed up and I gave her the tea which she drank. With each sip she took the tea would change to a different color, not abruptly, but it would slowly morph into another color. It was really beautiful and we all enjoyed watching it.
I was leaving Theo and Anna Huemmer's house and walking to Anna's car. As we were walking they noticed a black car who was apparently a driver they owned money to. They told us to run to Anna's car, which was a red jeep and everyone got in and I had to drive. I was really cramped in the front seat and had a hard time reaching the wheel. They handed me the keys and I couldn't figure out which one it was, all the while really stressed about that driver guy killing us or something. I finnaly got the car to move and it was really wierd to drive because I was in such an awkward position. It eventually ran out of gas.
I was in a strange bar somewhere and the bar tender kept giving me drinks even though I was underage. The bar tender was Nikki, and she was writing down rules that said I could have drinks. The pens she used were fluorescent and in the dim light of the bar they would glow. I got a tattoo on my back left shoulder. It was a black heart and it had a small banner in front of it that said something. In the dream I really loved it. I went into the bathroom and when I tried to look at it in the mirror I thought it had disappeared. I looked at each shoulder frantically, and finnaly realized that I just had to pull my jacket down further to see it. I took a long stare at it, and noticed it was kind of irritated around the edges the way a lot of new tattoos look.
I had come back to the bar the next day and on my way to the bathroom I saw a huge group of men sitting outside in lawn chairs like spectators. I got to talking to this one guy about my tattoo. He said that my tattoo couldn't possibly have as much meaning as his tattoos. That really pissed me off, and I went off on him. I said that he probably thinks his tattoos are more meaningful because he is older and has more experiance under his belt, but age and time don't make anything more valuable, its the person's perspective and understanding of each experiance that gives it meaning. This pissed him off, but I went into the bathroom before I heard his retort, and as I walked into the bathroom I noticed that the door of it was a huge whiteboard, and the rules about my driking were written on it in green dry-erase marker. For some reason this gave me the feeling that Nikki was no longer here.
I had an aerial view of a competition that was going on, probably the same one that the men outside the bathroom had been watching. There were various pairs of people in the pool having sex. There were men around the pool in lounge chairs who were judging the competition, and then thousands of people around the outer gate watching them. I thought that this was really wierd, and didn't really understand how someone could have sex with hundreds of people watching them. And as I watched the male judges all laying back on their lounge chairs with their heads craned to see, I felt like they were probably just a bunch of perverts as opposed to skilled judges.
I was walking down the street to meet Theo. The guy who I had insulted earlier about the tattoos was driving by with a bunch of his friends. He rolled down the window and had a gun in his hand. I pulled out a gun of my own and aimed it at my own head, reasoning that the guy wouldn't shoot me if he saw that I was about to shoot myself. He drove by without taking a shot at me, and I memorized his licence plate. The licence plate had been "!HYOGY" Theo called to me from his car and I got in the back seat to hide and we drove away. I wrote down the guy's licence number in a book I had as Theo frantically told me what I should do. I thougt about the plate numbers for a minute, and wondered if that was correct. The "!" might have actually been a "5". But otherwise I was pretty sure that those were at least the letters, if not the correct order. I was also sure the car had been green, and that it was probably a jaguar. Then I dialed the police.

Running from the Flood

I was at my house and some people were sleeping over. Jeff was on my bed and he didn't have any pants on. The other girl who was sitting on the bed with us told him he should really be wearing pants. After a while there was shit (like, actually poop) all over the bed, and I had to spend the rest of the night cleaning it off. It had gotten on the matress too, and I had to keep myself from throwing up as I cleaned.
I was with my dad and my sisters and there was a huge flood and a storm that everyone was running from. We would hide at higher elevations for a little while and then keep running when the storm subsided. The four of us ran up a little grass hill and hid in some bushes. I didn't really understand what the point of this was, but my dad was leading us and I didn't question him. A lady and her family crept in behind us. When I looked back the lady was the only one left. She had a creepy face and I didn't trust her, but I tried to be nice to her so as not to make any enemies in this situation. A car started to develop around us out of the bushes and the ground. So now we were in a car and speeding away from the flood. Mattie was driving, and there was a group of cars coming up in front of us. I told her that hitting the cars would be much worse in this situation than having to slow down a little bit to go around them. My dad agreed and told Mattie to take it easy. She eventually hit a car anyway, and our car turned into a little motorcycle. The lady tried to grab it from us. We all compromised with her so she waited for the rest of us to get on. The motorcycle, however, only seated two people, and after trying to somehow get everyone on and realizing we couldn't we just let her have it. We were now walking down the road we had been on, which was attached to a cliff by the ocean. When Sam and I looked out at the water there were huge waves beggining to develop in the distance, 20 or 30 feet high. We both watched in awe, and talked about how those things would just crush you. Then when we looked up at the sky we saw a huge cloudy circle with rain that was starting to spurt out from the middle of it. My family and I came to a very big flight of stairs on our right that led to even taller office buildings, and a well-manicured path and trees on our left. I said that we should take the stairs and just get as high as we could. My dad was kind of thinking about taking the path, but after a while he agreed with me and we all started running up the stairs. After a couple floors, the water started to rise. My dad was already ahead of us, Sam was with me, and Mattie was a little bit behind Sam and I. We were all sprinting up the stairs to stay above the water. Sam pulled ahead of me, and I was using all the strength I had to keep running. The Mighty Mighty Bosstones started playing in the background, and I was thinking to myself that this may be the song I die to. I looked down at mattie who was just inches away from the water. I screamed down to her and told her that she could do it, she could keep going. She ran faster and looked like she was on the verge of collapsing. I kept encouraging her and eventually the water stopped rising and we made it to the top. Mattie collapsed, and we all told her how proud we were. I wondered to myself why I didn't go back down and run with her, but told myself that if she needed me to I would have.

Stairs With No Railings

I was walking around Northwood high school but it looked a little different. I was on the second floor with a couple other people, and we got to a walkway that had no railings on it. I was very afraid, and sitting down was the only way I felt somewhat balanced. My hair was long again and it kept getting in front of my eyes, so I felt even more unsafe. There was another guy out there with me and a girl. The girl wasn't scared and didn't understand what my problem was, but the guy was and he and I talked about our fears of stairs and walkways with no railings.
I saw sensai and Tyler. We were all at the beach. Tyler and sensai were going to go do some kind of water sport that was similar to surfing but somehow a little different. I asked them if there was a shallow reef under the break over there. They said yeah. I watched them surf/whatever for a while. Sensai was very good, it was cool to watch.
I was going to some modeling job that was at school. I was black and had cornrows, and I was wearing baggy clothes. I went in a room and set my stuff down there, then went back to the front desk to register. The people said they were closed, and when I looked back I saw my stuff had been locked inside the closed building. I explained this to the people and they let me back in there to get everything.
I was walking around school with Theo and I was going to be late to my classes. I was confused about which ones I should go to.
I was going to play in a soccer game with my old team and I was watching the boys game before us. The goalie was very good. He had a mowhawk with a red/pink streak in the center, and was very tiny. I talked to him after the game and got some tips. I was in a locker room getting ready with my teamates. I couldn't find my sunscreen. Everytime I searched for it I ended up with a bottle of toothpaste in my hand. Once I accidentally put it on my face, it was orange flavored. I was really mad, and when I finnaly found the sunscreen it had a dead fly stuck to it. My mom picked it off for me and I finnaly put it on. At this point it was getting late and I was cutting into warm-up time. I still had to tie my hair up.
I had a bunch of cats in a cage.
I was sitting at a table wearing a christmas tree on my head, it was supposed to be a hat.
