I had a dream last night that went through a bunch of different places.

In one situation, I was on a missions trip or something and was with a bunch of guys I know, including Tim Spraut and two guys I work with (Curt and Steve). Tim and I sat around and chatted for a while. I think that there was water dripping from the ceiling around the whole room, and it kind of reminded me of the movie Hero. Tim pointed out that we had received mail, so I looked to see if there was anything for me. There were two legos catalogs and a letter from my sister that had a preaddressed and stamped envelope inside. This is when I realized that I was back in New Zealand and worried that the preaddressed envelope might not have enough postage.

I was then on a bus with a bunch of elementary and high schoolers. I ended up sitting with this little girl with whom I talked. She wanted to write to me, so I wrote down my name as "That boy with blue eyes and blonde hair" on the back of a receipt I happened to be holding.

I think at some point I was at some high school party...

And was then in some sort of cave with my friend jean from work and a bunch of other people. I was on my way to returning to my own world (because I was in an alternate universe) through a crevice in the ceiling from which a knotted rope hung. I started climbing the rope, but my body got really tired really quickly and I couldn't make it. I came down and let the others climb up, then used a chair and a desk to get up farther so I could make it to the top.

As I climbed out, my dad went down into the hole, and I had to go back down and get him. I put my head down in the hole, but couldn't see anything clearly because I didn't have my glasses on (which is weird because I don't need glasses anymore). I climbed back down and started searching for him in all the beds that were down there (there were many). I went around a corner into another room and found him in a bed and knew that he had had sex with Jean. I stalked out and Jean walked towards me from another hallway and I pounced on her and began beating the crap out of her for seducing my dad. She couldn't see what she did wrong, but I continued to beat her up and throw her around.

The end?

There was an awesome thunderstorm last night, and I can't remember if my dream came before or after waking up to the thunderstorm at 3am.

Jen and I were driving around somewhere a little bit south of downtown kalamazoo and we saw a cool ferry we wanted to ride on. So we left my car in a parking lot and got on the ferry, which took us to the other side of a river. When we got there, there was a giant mutant space insect attacking a bunch of people. I went a little closer to check it out while Jen went to (I think) a fast food restaurant near the river. I turned back and Jen was walking towards me when I saw another giant space insect land on the fast food place she had just come from and start attacking it.
I pulled Jen into a bank so we would be safe, and then I kept thinking how it would have been smarter to hide somewhere that might have food and beds in case we got stuck there for a while during the insect attack.
Eventually, the insects just left and we took the ferry back to the other side of the river. We decided to find somewhere to have a nice dinner, but both of our cars were in the parking lot. We took Jen's car, which was an SUV, and the kitties were with us. We all went out to dinner and played (I think) in a park for the kitties' benefit. When night fell, we went back to the car. I was really impressed because Lexi and Leo just came when I called them and jumped into the car. I really do like to pretend that they're dogs!
Then we started to drive back to my car, but realized that we didn't know where it was. We continued driving around trying to find it alllll through the night and the next morning. We eventually came across this older guy who joined us in the search. We ended up going to the top of some bell tower to look around the surrounding area to see if we could see my car. Nope, but there were these two old guys just chillin on a porch. Weird.
We went back down the bell tower and ended up in my new apartment, which was bigger and nice than this one. I think I had moved out while Jen kept the old one. I had a feeling I was still moving in, but was surprised to find that the fridge was fully stocked. I think I had five jars of pasta sauce!
I was surprised to see the cats in this new apartment because I thought they were staying at the old one... I remember I had two nice porches as well...
Somehow while continuing to look for my car, I ended up at Danricc's parents' new house, which was huge. I remember complimenting his mom on having accumulated enough stuff to fill such a big house, and then I almost knocked over some sort of valuable ceramic antique.
We continued to look for my car for at least three days, and I remember there was some sort of magic element to our search, but that's all I've got.
