I was participating in some sort of a race, and I wanted to take an underground cave river / creek shortcut. This shortcut required myself and my team to hold our breath and go under a rock overhang before we exited the river system. After this, we planned to mount our bikes ahead of the rest of the racers and continue racing.

After this I was in a classroom, possibly GeoPhysics, and I was taking a test. I finished my test and wanted to leave the room, but there were other people in the room that didn't do as well and were required to stay (Joey B. was one of them). They got mad at me because I was leaving and talking. They had detention because of their poor exam performance. The professor used me as an example to show that there were two different kinds of knowledge - Knowledge that you acquire while paying attention and knowledge that you intuitively know. He said that those with the detention had the intuitive knowledge, but they didn't have the knowledge that I have from paying attention whenever he had lectured.

    driving down a river and more alligators

    I was with some sort of group or class, and we got the idea to drive down a river. The river was about five feet deep, and had several man-made waterfalls in it. We rented a bunch of cars, similar to Nissan X-terras, and drove them into the river. The windows were open a crack, so water quickly filled the car, but I wasn't concerned of drowning. I knew that whenever we went over one of the waterfalls, the car would drain while in mid-air. I was more concerned about my cellphone and wallet in my pocket getting wet. I looked for a compartment in the roof of the car to put them in, but found nothing. Jeff O. was in the car with me, and I asked him if he had another plastic bag (I noticed that he had a ziplock bag). His plastic bag was full, but I found one in my pocket and put my phone in it.

    At a different part of the dream I saw another group of people. Their thing or saying was "If you're sad, just wrestle an alligator". They would run their hands along the sides of an alligator, and I guess the rush and thrill of this made them no longer be sad. Later I was at this one building, which reminds me of the basement addition in Evansville, and the people were trying to find an alligator to do this to. They found one buried under a few sheets of plywood, and it was smashed and thin. I walked past them and stumbled upon an alligator on the ground. The alligator snapped at me and I quickly moved away from it.

    After this I was in some sort of a courtroom and I was walking up in the balcony. There was a very Republican Conservative judge talking and addressing everyone in the room. He was complaining about how sad of a day it was whenever the Democrats took majority control of Congress, 47 to 46. He said how unfortunate it was that they repealed all of the tax return laws then they took office. Everyone in the room seemed to agree, but there was one Liberal Democrat that spoke out against the judge. He was sitting up in the balcony, and he said "yeah, you're so Conservative with money that you do horrible things to our Government".

    Additional Comments:

    This dream was recorded at 3:13 pm. I think the alligators likely came from the dream I had hours before this one involving alligators.

    There was also some sort of scene in the old garage in Evansville, where we had some sort of a hangout place in the garage with a curved banked wall, but I don't remember.

    Laurette and I are camping along a trail of some sort. My car is parked about a mile down the trail next to a shelter house, and covered with tarps. Our campsite is situated alongside a muddy river. We were folding clothes that had recently been washed and dried on the picnic table whenever it started raining. I didn't want the clean dry clothes to get wet, so I said I was going to run down the trail to the car and get some tarps to cover up the clothes with. Laurette said while I was gone she was going to start another load of laundry, because it had been three or four days since the last one was washed.

    Before I leave, I notice a cat-like creature swimming in the river. It swims over to the bank next to our campsite, shakes itself dry, and seems to solidify into a fluffy rectangular statue. I point it out to Laurette and then throw a rock at it. Whenever the rock lands close to it, it turns into a tiny kitten which jumps back into the river and starts swimming again. I notice up the river a large black fin sticking out of the water, and I think a whale or shark of some sort is coming. The kitten makes it across the river to the other side and gets out on the far bank. The whale type creature swims to where the kitten just got out, and then turns into a Beagle dog as it emerges from the river. The dog starts sniffing the ground and wagging his tail, but I don't think he saw the kitten. I believe the kitten solidified into a statue again, fooling the dog.

    This dream was recorded at 8:59 am. The statue cat reminds me of Tanooki Mario in Super Mario Brothers 3
