Ok, so I had a really strange dream last night. It involved a lot of people I knew, and a few places I have never been. I'm going to write down what I remember of it now.

First setting: Campground type area inside a gym at a non-descript school. Lots of cots and single and double beds are strewn around. Rachel and I have created a tentlike structure out of some paper bags, a few sheets, some 2X4s and a few cardboard boxes. We called it Espandeutchland and we spoke Gerspanglish there. We had a porch area with folding chairs and my little grill, and we had taken off the top part and were roasting marshmellows and hotdogs over the flame. They were yummy let me tell you! Across the gym, Karen had her single bed set up on a rug. Jenny was in another area and she had her double bed on wheels which she used as both a bed, and a taxi. Chris pushed the bed, and people got rides from one part of the gym to another cause for some reason, we were playing lava monster or something and didn't want to touch the floor in certain places. Chris had been taged by the lava monster though, so he could walk there, and he was a good lava monster and didn't go around tagging people.
**Scene switch**We are now in some sort of mall. We got there through a magic portal, a doorway, and we are running around being chased by something. I don't quite recall what it was that was chasing us. Katie and I and Rachel were together, and we ran into the Mars Musicland (that was it's name) and hid behind some drums...(they were very big drums). But then...the temptation of playing with the toys got to all three of us. Rachel grabbed another drum and began banging on it, and then she picked up the drumsticks and started doing lunch practice at a symbol. Katie picked up an electric guitar with a mural of DBZ charecters on it, and with a pick she *pilfered* from somewhere else...(hehe, you know where Katie) she began to tune it and play. I picked up a really really sweet fretless bass and plugged into the amp which was then magically in our area and after tuning a bit began to play as well. We all jammed for a few with katie and me on the improv. of a few songs we had apparenlty written, with Rachel in the back adding symbol claps at odd intervals...(she now had a foil and was practicing her flicks and trying to hit the "O" in the word on the symbol. Well, or racket gave us away and soon we had to abandon our new toys and run around the mall again. There were way to many people there and the middle of the hallway was packed with some form of art show, and it was hard to stay away. All the time we were trying to find one of two portals out...one back the the gym and another to a house.
*scene switches again* now we're magically into the house that was attached to the mall by a doorway. I look around and find the members of the band Down and Above looking at us like we're ghosts. Apparently they didn't know there was a portal to the mall in their house. It was actually Dave's house, I just knew this...and there were pictures of his family on the wall in the hallway. There was a bedroom in front of us, and it was kinda a yellow theme I guess, I don't remember to much of this part of the dream. I know that we: Katie, Rachel, and I, were now getting tired and looking for a place to sleep. I remember knowing we were not to sleep in the bedroom in front of us, so we began to explore the house. We walked past an astonished Dave and Ian walked out of another room, said hi, and walked to the kitchen to get a midnight snack of milk and cookies. We found another room and opened the door and walked through it and were back in the gym from the first scene.
*scene switch* In the gym, our really cool house had been taken over by partying other people, and so we went in search of a place to stay. Rachel found a single bed somewhere, and Katie to the Jenny taxi over to her area, wherever that was. Karen, whose area rug we came out of the portal by offered me her bed, but I didn't want it, or anything to do with the gym...I don't remember why I was so not happy with it, but I was, SO...I went around looking for a place to sleep (I find looking for a place to sleep in my dream rather amusing) and when I found nothing, I procured a strange looking cot type thing and walked back to the portal. Unfortunatley the portal led to the mall again so I had to run away from whatever was chasing me until I found the door out. I ended up back at Dave's house...which I've never been to, never seen, and don't even know where it is, and I put my cot up in the hallway. I had an alarm clock to wake me up and everything. The cot went up really strangely...I pulled out this mattress which was like a bean bag, and I'm not sure who came to talk to me at this point, it was the drummer Zach I think...he told me that I couldn't sleep on the floor in the bean bag cause I'd be woken up by the birds, so I reached into the tentbag the cot was in and pulled out two folding chairs and made my cot out of a bean bag and two folding chairs. Then the house changed, and it was still the same, but I was in the basement instead, and I set my alarm and fell asleep...That's right! I fell asleep in my dream, and I woke up a bit later-still in the dream, and walked over to our house in the gym through the portal where Katie, Rachel and I were eating more hotdogs and then I woke up for real.

I don't know what this one means, if anything. I know that it's odd for me to dream of the memebers of dna. I don't know them particularly well, so why should they be there right? I think it had something to do with the email they sent out about the shows this weekend. Something was in there about Dave's basement I think...The gym and the tent/campground...I can't even begin to imagine, as with the mall. I understand the musicland part, and I understand the sleeping bit, cause I was really tired yesterday...I have strange dreams. I had another last night when took my nap about the world ending and it was lightening and I knew if I concentrated hard enough it wouldn't end, but if I lost concentration it would, and I was out to eat.

*shrug* Well, I'll leave it up to everyone to figure out what they mean, and for now...I'm going to go work on ideas for yet another website...
