Up, Up and Away

My friend Katie and I were flying to New York. In the middle of the flight, the plane lowered way down and seemed to be landing on mountains. I noticed there was a sort of roller coaster ramp that we were landing on. I assured Katie that I'd been on flights that have done this before. The plane landed for a little and then was gearing to take off again, but it wasn't gaining enough momentum to make it up the ramp. I kept repeating that it was going to be fine.

(side note: I've had this dream before, but not in years, and with different traveling companions)

Walking the Cat

Was walking my cat on a leash through an area of Westwood I'd never noticed before. It was full of lakes and bridges and greenery. As we walked over a bridge, the cat spotted something and leapt down a hill. It was a long leash, so I didn't lose her. 

At some point later on in our walk, a big German Shepherd spotted us and came bounding toward us. As it approached I said very sternly, "Sit!" and I think the cat said something to me like "Wow, you think that will work?" But it did. The dog sat. I looked at it's tags to see to whom it belonged and I asked the cat to pass me my cell phone so I could call the owner.

Plucking Plastic

I was at a beach party and there were little things poking out of my hands, the back of my palms, and as I plucked them out, they were long, toothpick-sized plastic and metal things. The more I plucked them, the more appeared. Some had blood on them. I kept standing them up in the sand. My friend Chrissy was nearby, sitting with friends. I called her over to see what was coming out of my hand. She said she'd look eventually. One of the pieces I plucked was bigger than the rest and had ornate paper cut-outs. When I got it out of my hand, I jostled it around a bit and found that it expanded into a paper lantern.

Baby in a Cereal Box?

I was visiting friends. The woman was feeding her newborn baby on her bed and the baby slipped down the bed, which was tilting at an angle. The mom caught the baby by the collar and we were all laughing about it. She continued feeding the baby and we were talking about what had just happened, when the baby slipped again, but this time out of sight. The husband and I were searching all over for the baby but could t find him. The mom kept saying "oh my god, the baby's dead, I killed the baby". I was beginning to think she was right and was starting to panic but then at the foot of the bed there was a cereal box and I grabbed it and shook it and all of a sudden the baby's head popped out confused but laughing.

London Calling

Was in London and I had a very rich grandmother. Jen Kagan and her mom had just bought a rental property there and I was telling my grandmother about it and she said I'll buy you one and you can rent it out. I was so excited. I told her it didn't need to be too big. The home we were staying in had 6 bedrooms.

Confusing Chemistry

Was instructed to come up with a lesson plan explaining certain engineering facts to students. I was very confused and wondered if I could somehow do a presentation using the periodic table and focus on hydrogen gasses, of which I know nothing about but was willing to research. I was thinking something along the lines of hot air balloons and then was thinking about helium and how to explain how it worked.

Meow, Meow...

I was in Hollywood and it was late and I had to use the bathroom. I knew my friend Katie was out of town, so I decided to sneak into her apartment to use the bathroom. When I walked in, her cat was sleeping in its bed near the kitchen, and barely batted an eyelash at my appearance. 

After I used the bathroom, I noticed another cat - it was tri-colored, really big and had fur like a sheep. It also had a blue, large patch over it's eye. It was extremely affectionate. I didn't understand what it was doing in her house, but then I remembered that she said she had been interested in adopting another cat. I figured she got it right before she left. 

I looked around and noticed there wasn't much water left in the bowls, so I filled up a water bowl, but then noticed on the kitchen counter was all these plastic containers and I got confused as to which one was the original water bowl  Some of the containers had tomatoes growing out of them. I realized I'd have to tell Katie that I snuck into her apartment.
