Dream Journal

I was staying in some residential area. There were cool, different houses with lots of greenery. There was some trip with a bus to this movie and Rebecca and I decided to go. We got in the bus and the driver woman started this big collection process. It was $15 for Rebecca, because it was her birthday (it wasn’t actually) and because it included a lunch bag and drink. It was $36 for the rest of us. I wanted to see if the bus driver would accept less, so I waited until the end to talk to her.

While waiting, I was playing live-action Marathon with Matt L and some others. They knew the board well and eventually kicked my ass. The setting was some darkened business offices, shifted to morning light blues and purples. Matt was playing out some crazy story as he played. One weapon he had was a baby head that spewed oatmeal.

I returned to the bus driver, who asked if I paid. I said no, then talked her down to $6.50. Then we’re driving around, seeing sights. The area is like the mountain home.

Then something happens and we’re back in the neighborhood where we started. I’m walking by myself through slushy streets and I block this car as I cross the street. It follows me up onto the grass and sidewalk and I think “Shit, it’s those Consciousness Research Foundation people.” I turn and see that it’s actually Heidi! I have a good laugh. I say hey and explain to her what I thought was going on. We walk and talk. It was a very good, very natural conversation.
