The beginning of this dream is very much like a video game.I'm in a little pyramid in a lowered, stone courtyard. There are two entrances to the pyramid, both blocked by fire. Inside, there are two treasure chests. I open one and take out five pieces of map, then jump through the fire (which lowers as I do so) and start to run back to my friends outside the courtyard. In my rush, I drop pieces of the map, but I can't go back for them because we start to hear my rivals jump into the yard. They, too, are looking for the map, but don't seem to notice the pieces I've dropped on the stone floor. They walk up to one of the entrances to the pyramid and a chain shoots out from the other treasure chest inside and attaches itself around the ankle of one of them (there are three). As soon as the chain is fastened, the fire dies and they enter the pyramid. I jump back down, grab the pieces I dropped, and give one to each member of our party.
Following the first piece of map, we leave the courtyard area and enter a very pastoral area with a red bridge over a brook. We have to get across the bridge to get where we're going, but I have bad feeling about it. Another member of the group starts to get nervous the closer we get to it. Finally, I look at her and ask if it's her bridge - which means, I guess, that she has to be the one to cross first. Apparently, some people live under these kinds of bridges and kill anyone who tries to cross. The girl admits that it's hers and runs underneath it. The others lay a log across the strangely wide brook and start crossing. I stay near the bridge and start almost crawling over it.
When I get to the other side, it's suddenly the library in my school and I'm sitting at a table with my family and my aunt, uncle, and cousin. My cousin had been with me in the video game adventure and had a red box of luck trinkets from the journey. The only thing I remember being in the box was a blonde lock of hair from the girl under the bridge.
