Dream Diary

So I'm going to try a little something different here. In keeping with my new effort to make this blog interesting, I've decided to write about some of my dreams. Now, I know what you're thinking. Nothing is more boring than listening to people's dreams. But you haven't seen mine. They are full color, crazy, story-driven productions. Once there was a musical number. The names of real people that I know in real life have been changed to protect my sexy feelings for them, and to sound more like a soap opera.

I was planning a trip back to my old college town, where many of my friends still lived. I called Chad to let him know that I was coming, in hopes of gettin' me a little, but he didn't seem that excited about it. He did mention that he had recently bought an old bar stool though. This was a big deal.

I made the trip anyway and was staying in an enormous, dorm-like structure. There were always a ton of people around, especially in the rec center on the first floor, where I was hanging in the pool with several girl friends. There was a TV on in the background, and Cassandra and a friend of hers were being interviewed about the stool and the re-upholstery job they had done to prepare it for its trip into space. The girls in the pool were all gossiping about my having had a tryst with someone before I had left college, but I wouldn't reveal that it had been with Chad. I let them speculate and ducked out of the rec center.

Across the hall, Chad and some other guys were playing a turn-based strategy game on an obscure old Sega console. He made room for me to sit next to him, and at the end of his turn he suggested that we sneak off somewhere during the other players', as the turns lasted for quite some time.

We climbed a fort made of cotton balls and there we started making out, but people were removing parts of the fort in order to get to a refrigerator somewhere within it. When it became obvious that we wouldn't be able to get any privacy, we returned to the game. They had started a new campaign in a map with different terrain, but he chose the same character as last game in his haste, which had a serious disadvantage, and he started doing very poorly.

We went back to a large compound of buildings that Chad's family was renting, hoping to pick up the making out where we had left off. Some of the buildings were very small, some had no obvious entrance, and all of them were in a state of disrepair. We went to the main building, which had been mostly restored. It was quite small and we had to stoop inside it. We spoke with the builder, who was quite large and couldn't fit inside, through a window. His dream was to make homes for little people, but he had given up on that when he realized that he would never be able to go inside one of his own buildings.

Later, we toured the launch site where the stool was being prepped for its voyage into space. The stool was somehow able to control the ship autonomously.
