Vague.
I had made it to Mackinac Island and was just starting out on my yearly visit of walking around like crazy. ^_^ It didn't look at all like the real Mackinac Island. I seemed to have somebody else with me, but they were more of an acquaintance than a friend or companion, and maybe they weren't even really "with" me but I just happened to pass them. My memory picks up with me starting to walk across this vast rolling field with little hillocks and hollows; it seemed to rise into the distance maybe like a hump, and I was making my way upward (it wasn't steep, just very big and open). It was grassy and sunny and the field itself was treeless though there were trees to the side(s). I feel the town would have been to my left, meaning I was heading roughly westward, I guess. This field was so huge. I wanted to throw my arms up and take big long steps like I was in The Sound Of Music or something, it was so grand. I was saying something to the person with me, probably about my plans to walk all over the place like I always do. I felt as big and important as the island itself, and nothing could get me down.
I at last decided to take some pictures with my digital camera and fetched it out. A stand of trees upon a steep rise appeared to my right. This rise was a sandy slope like the edge of a sandpit, like the earth had collapsed or eroded away, but there was thick grass atop it and a big stand of perhaps cedars, so thick that it was dark in between them. It was like an isolated island of trees. It looked quite big and I started trying to frame pictures but the scene kept shifting, making it difficult. And then some people, maybe kids, appeared and began playfully clambering up the slope toward the trees...and now the perspective/proportions went all wrong, for the people were huge and the stand of trees was quite small. I grew irked trying to take a decent picture and said to the person with me, "This would work a lot better if those people weren't climbing all over ruining the shot." It was like I was blaming the presence of these people for making the big stand of trees grow impossibly small and ruining my chance at a good photo. I wouldn't just have people in the shot, I'd have ridiculously small trees!
Another photo opportunity presented itself in the form of water, like a waterfall or a deep puddle which was overflowing and running over, maybe forming icicles (even though it seemed to be summer and was green all around me). It was like an elevated pool of water and some was flowing downward though I'm not sure how. I tried composing a photo of this too. It seemed to also be to my right, but closer than the stand of trees.
I don't recall anything else, unfortunately.

For some bizarre reason I had a lot of dreams last night. O_o I didn't take note of any of them, however, so they're all faded. I'll take down a couple I sort of remember.
This one, from earlier in the night, is just a vague fragment by now but the physical sensation I had in it was such that I find it notable. There was something to do with a boat or ship, like a ferry. I was on it with a man who was something like Hedley Lamarr (Harvey Korman) from Blazing Saddles. There might have been a woman as well, probably distinguished and from the Twenties or Thirties era based on her clothing. It was cloudy out and possibly wet. The water must have been a bit rough as the ferry was bobbing a lot. There was something like a gangplank or ramp leading from the ferry deck to something else, maybe another boat. It was wide like the ones the Mackinac Island ferries use. I know the water was rough as the boat(s) bobbed so much that the gangplank kept pulling away from our deck and then coming back--a gap would open up, then close. I kept eyeing this nervously, hoping I wouldn't fall off if I had to use it.
There was some kind of business about a woman lying on the deck. I don't know if she was dead or alive or just a body or what. It wasn't morbid though. She was lying stretched out on her back, arms straight at her sides or folded over her chest, and she seemed to be brownish all over, like old baked clay or something. Almost like a sculpture. I believe she was dressed in a gown which was full of folds like you'll see on classical statues of goddesses and such. I know she was some kind of figure of importance, and Hedley had some dealings with her (she was treated like an object considering that she was...well...inanimate)--maybe she was stolen from somewhere and he was the thief? Anyway, all I recall of that bit is that she was lying on the deck outside with us (the ferry wasn't that big and the deck was of wooden planks, all wet and unpainted) and I guess Hedley and maybe the other woman were trying to think of what to do with her.
I meanwhile kept focusing on the bobbling gangplank. That thing was really making me nervous. It would pull away, come back, and pull away again. I did wish it was steadier. I was afraid of getting caught on one prong of it, for now instead of just a flat squared end, it had two prongs of a sort, one jutting from each corner, which possibly helped connect it to the deck; I thought I might get caught on one when it pulled away, and then I would be plunged into the water. This got kind of weird and confusing, because now, the gangplank would occasionally go under the water, revolve in a full circle, then come up again just like a waterwheel, and I was afraid of getting caught on it should this happen. It also seemed to change orientation and position when this happened so I can't really explain it.
Well, at some point, exactly this happened, and I got "caught" on the "waterwheel" and plunged into the water. I wasn't horribly terrified like I'd be in real life (I can't swim) as this was sort of planned or expected and it had happened to someone else so I knew how it would go. I shut my eyes under the water and it got so dark! I felt it all around me as I was dragged downward! I knew it would spin me through the water in a circle and I would resurface and be just fine, but until then I had to hold my breath. It wasn't a long wait, but still, you know how long such things can seem. And at least once or twice, I almost lost my breath and a few bubbles flew from my mouth, as my lungs hurt and I wanted to breathe in. Each time this happened I told myself, "No no no!--wait until you surface again!"--because it wasn't even going to be that long. But it sure felt like a while!
I don't recall the exact moment, but at last I must have surfaced and been rescued from the waterwheel for I ended up just fine.

Just a fragment of a bigger dream which I don't recall.
I was in my bedroom and looking at this wooden construction which sat on or next to the corner of my bed where my CD case is in real life. It was like a shelf made of raw wood, perhaps for books or knickknacks, and might have had a few shelves on it or some odd angles. I noticed that a host of little spiders, none big, had made their little webs upon it, and I stared at them more and more closely, and began to feel kind of disgusted. First I told myself, why didn't I look for spiders elsewhere first, where I would prefer to see them? (I can't say even now what exactly I meant by this.) Then I thought, ugh, there are so many of them moving in on this shelf. Blech. I recall two or three at the very least, which I looked at, but I know there were more at various spots. They weren't swarming. It was like a scene one could find in real life of several little spiders nesting on an untended shelf. Their webs weren't the intricate circular kind but were just little cobwebby natty things.
Then I remembered--this was a "spider house" which I had put here SPECIFICALLY for spiders such as these to build their homes upon! I had wanted to invite spiders to a safe place to stay, and this was it. And lo and behold, they had done just that. Then I felt kind of guilty and stupid for having been disgusted, as if they were intruding on my own stuff--I'd made them this shelf, after all!
The spiders and their natty webs remind me of a little spider that for a time took up residence in the corner of my window in my bedroom. It eventually disappeared and I was sad. A different, bigger spider appeared shortly after, but was there only one day and then it too vanished. The web is still there. The "spider house" concept is similar to one I was mulling over recently in real life but have no intention of actually carrying out. I thought of sticking cardboard toilet paper tubes together!
