Skiing and time travel

I was skiing with my family somewhere.  Mom and I were together, I think because we wanted to do easier runs (blue and green). I seemed to be pretty bad at skiing. At the point where one of the blue runs intersected with the main drag (which we went down several times as a whole family before dad and Grant split off), there were three little jump things, which were labeled as double black diamond. They were apparently “extreme moguls”. Later we were going to a food court area. To get in you had to walk through this thing that was a combination of a carousel and a revolving door. It blocked the entrance like a revolving door, but it had no partitions, had fancy benches and poles to hold onto, and occasionally it would change its direction of rotation. When I first got on I could hardly keep my balance, but then there was a helpful announcement reminding me of physics, and that it would be more stable on the inside instead of the outside. Once inside the food court area, I set down my stuff (which happens to have been my laptop, my bible and my notebook) on a table. When I come back after getting food, Cait and someone else are sitting at the table. I take my laptop and stick it in my backpack and they don’t seem to notice, but as I reach for my bible, they question whether it’s really mine (someone else comes up to the table at this point, a potential alternative owner to the bible). I look back at the table, and there’s another bible sitting on it that looks almost identical to mine. I look at both, but its impossible to tell the difference between the two from the sermon notes, because it looks like my cursive handwriting (which is strange because I never write on the sermon notes, much less in cursive). Same thing happens for my notebook, but eventually I notice that one is strangely bound and doesn’t have as many pages. Looking at it more closely, I figure out that it’s a photocopy. I am then able to do the same thing with the bibles (the sermon notes are photocopied…no telling how they got the rest of the bible duplicated!). Apparently Cait and her friend thought it would be a good prank because they were drunk.

After skiing we (my family) were driving and dad kept on looking for different landmarks in the nearby mountains, including the ski resort. This was slightly scary, since he was the driver, and we wanted to look for the things in the mountains as well, so we didn’t really want to look at the road for him.

Later we are staying in a tent with a couple of random people with superpowers. We’re doing some sort of time travel, but one day we do it at the wrong time, which apparently screws things up. They say something about us “losing the first hour” and a baby is sitting outside of tent. It starts playing with animated toys, and the female person who is with us keeps on telling someone to “wake up” and I can’t tell if she’s talking to the baby or the small person that its playing with, or something entirely different. After a bit, it is apparently too late and we are transported somewhere else to fight some sort of boss person for doing time travel wrong. The female is very happy because we have 6 people instead of the normal two (she’s screwed up before) and because we’ll get multiplied and more powerful before we face the boss (it’s some sort of effort to make the battle more fair or something) then we’ll actually have a very good chance of beating him. The boss is a 2-D black and white shaman/priest looking dude, in the style of the people in Secret of Kells. We very quickly set up what he wants – we get stars to bow down to him and the moon to sing hallelujah for him. He seems awestruck, and then I wake up.

Additional Comments:

I had't noticed the vague Joseph-like reference in the end (stars and the moon bowing down) until now (3/23/12). Don't know if that was a recent memory, old memory, or just a coincidence at the time.

    I’m walking into the LAC to go to a class or something. Apparently there are lots of classes in the LAC, because there are lots of people going in. There is a table outside, kind of like those at the Hoch. There is also a freshman standing out there wearing a shirt indicating that he is part of some anti-Christian club. I can’t remember the name/slogan of it for the life of me, but it seemed clever at the time. He’s drawing attention to himself and handing out propaganda. There are two more frosh right before the doors trying to hand out the newspaper of the same club. As I go up the stairs at the “LAC” (it really isn’t the LAC inside), there is a pile of these propaganda newspapers on the stairs. I take a quick look at one, since I’m not being forced to take it. One of he headlines is “Are Christians the only ones supporting the new same-race amendment?”) (The same-race amendment is apparently trying to secure the rights for people to marry other people of the same race, which makes no sense since people can already do that…) . I walk up the stairs, and on there is this film set up thing blocking my way to the movie/lecture/class, whatever I’m going to. It’s like the photoshoot things set up for school pictures, except with a video camera, and its taking up the whole hallway. It apparently has something to do with the gay pride events on campus this week. I gingerly step across it, and the two people manning it don’t notice. I apparently went the wrong way, because shortly thereafter I’m back to cross it again. This time the people notice and spend a rather long time worrying and trying to figure out which way I should go. I then head over to the big lecture hall where the thing I’m attending is, and people are coming out. I remember Finley and Caleb both came out with about 10 other people, but there were plenty behind them. I think I missed my event, but its possible that something else was going on. Either way, this is where this act ends.

     

    Additional Comments:

    This is the third in a series of 4 dreams that I had during a 1.5 hour nap on this date. The previous two are "I got an REU!" and "Mudderbana"

    Lots of waking up, so I only caught a few snippets of dreams:

    • Eleanor and Alex showed up at our quad at about 1:30 AM. When they come through the door, they ask each other which issue they want to address. Alex points to me and then says “Okay, so…”

     

    • Prof. Alberts brings the class back together after a break during Discrete. He has written a line of kind of odd notation on the board during this break, and starts talking about it with a really weird fake accent, to the confusion of the class. There are only 5 minutes left in class.
