Last night, the first part of my dream had to do with Colby and his sister. Firstly, his sister was back together with her ex, which I wasn’t happy about because I thought this guy was a jerk. What was really weird is that the guy in the dream wasn’t actually one of her exes. What is even weirder is that I remember his Name. It was Gil (Pronounced Jill). I don’t know how I remember that, especially since she has never dated anyone named Gil before (or Jill, to my knowledge). This is kind of irrelevant to the rest of the dream though. I think the only reason his sister was in the dream was because I was trying to find Colby. I knew some skateboarding convention was about to start, and I thought he might want to go. I was getting kind of worried about him, and I never actually ended up finding him. But I did find one of his friends from theater. Now, apparently the convention had changed from a skating convention to an actor convention. The friend was really excited to go to the Actor Convention. Somehow I knew that this Actor Convention was not referencing the kind of ‘actor’ he thought it was. It was actually a convention for the ‘Actor’ objects used in GridWorld in computer science, but I didn’t have the heart to tell him that.
Dream 2: I remember being out in a lawn. Though it wasn’t like a house, I think it was more like a coalition of apartments that all shared one big lawn. I also think there was a garage sale going on at one of the complexes (which I am pretty sure wouldn’t even be allowed), so I was trying to find shirts to donate to. In real life, I have a couple of tye-dye t-shirts that I made one year in my chemistry class. One of the 3 turned out very poorly. So in the dream, I thought that it would be a good idea to donate that t-shirt. I found the shirt, and wanted to try it on one last time before I gave it away. After I put it on, I realized that it had actually been multiple shirts layered together, with the tye-dye as the outer most shirt (Think Pork and Beans music video, except only 3 or 4 shirts). I began peeling them off one by one, and dropping them on the ground. When I finished, I went to pick up the tye-dye shirt, but it was nowhere to be found. I looked and looked, but it had somehow disappeared.
Dream 3: So one of my friends, I can’t remember exactly who, was going to become a teacher. They had just been assigned their classroom, and he/she asked a bunch of my friends to help decorate the room. At this point, I was actually still at the apartment complexes, near the garage sale. I remember thinking that I had the perfect picture to hang up in the room. It was a childhood picture of a fried and I. Again, I looked and looked, but I never found it. For some reason, this really upset me. I loved that picture. Eventually, heartbroken, I head to the classroom.
It looks beautiful. It’s a very classic, cartoonish classroom. There’s a blackboard towards the back right corner of the room (which I remember thinking that although it looked very nice, it wasn’t very practical because of how hard it would be to see for the children). Anyway, there is probably about 15 of us in there trying to help decorate. Everyone is hanging up their favorite pictures, and I am just sitting a table towards the back moping around, drawing on a blank piece of paper.
I am going to get a little bit off track here, but have you ever laid a piece of paper down on top of a penny, and lightly colored over it so that the drawing looks like Abe Lincoln? Okay, well just remember that for a second.
So I am just sitting in the back, moping around. Still drawing on my blank piece of paper. Then at some point I start to shade the paper, like how you would do to the penny. All of the sudden, my childhood picture from earlier starts to appear. The friend who is in the picture was actually in the room with me, and looked really happy that I had found our picture. I was so happy, I actually started to cry.
