Peter and I are walking with this other guy around this weird tower thing. We go up this spiral staircase for what seems like forever before we finally reach the top. We're all hanging out when suddenly Peter topples over the side of a railing and starts flying to the bottom of the tower. The other guy and I start screaming and running down the stairs as fast as we can. I have my hands over my ears so that I won't hear Peter when he hits the bottom of the tower. When we get to the bottom Peter still hasn't hit the ground and there's a huge group of people trying to settle themselves around this huge blanket so they can catch him. I'm thinking that the blanket won't work so when someone tries to get me to hold an edge of it I run out of the tower, still screaming and holding my hands over my ears.

I am a little boy hanging out with these two little boys. We are on this busy street with all these stores (we are dressed in like 1950's style but it's not really back then) and playing tricks on the shopkeepers. There is some store that has a big sign that says "MASCARA" on it, and another store with a banner that says "GATORADE". I want to go into this music store, and so I open the door and the owner (who looks like my physical science teacher from the 9th grade) starts yelling at me and saying I can't come in. I turn into myself (the way I am now I mean) and I say something like, "Well, fine, I'll go spend my money somewhere else" and so of course he tells me to come in. I get a shopping cart (everyone has one) and put things in it occasionally even though I don't have any money. There are some CD's around but the stock consists mostly of records (the big ones). This one girl gets mad at me because she thinks my cart is "blocking" hers. I am trying to get by but there is a man who works there pushing this HUGE box (it's pretty thin but very tall, about 3' wide and 15' tall) and no one can get past him. I'm working in a video store with all of these kids my age who go to some four year college or another, and this girl is getting jealous because her boyfriend keeps talking to me, even though we are just talking about bands we like, namely My Bloody Valentine. My parents, some other man and I have to leave our house and go on this trip so we're trying to get the car ready. The car in question is this really really old dark blue looking car, and we have to bring this cute black dog along with us. I'm in the house and I find Mom and she's all crying and upset. I'm trying to talk to her and she's upset because Dad had forgotten to pay a bill, and she felt sorry for him because she thought that he really wanted to prove he could handle all of them (the bills).

I am at LMC with Maria and we have some PE class together but she is getting upset and I find out it's because she has some disease. She wants to go home so she calls her mom and I walk her out. We go down the stairs and there are four lines of people who are trying to change their schedules. I am at my house with Rose and the two of us are trying to get together with Maria to go to some club. Rose and I had been sleeping and when I woke up, I realized that I had missed the first meeting of my political science class. I have these rollerskates that I brought back from another dimension (???) They look exactly like regular rollerskates but they can make you fly. I start arguing with Greg about something and when I realize I have the skates on I start trying to fly. It takes a few minutes but I leave the house and I'm flying about 15 feet above the ground. He tries to grab at me and pull me down but I manage to avoid him. He turns back into the house and tries to lock me out but I get there too soon. I get back on the ground and start threatening him by pulling at the collar of his shirt. He's painting on this weird piece of paper and he gives it to me, along with a marker that I have to rub over it to see the message. The message on the paper is "Happy Valentine's Day" and he and my mother give me this basket with all of this cosmetic stuff and some things with Badtz-Maru [that adorable Sanrio penguin].

It's the day of Dana's party, and Zach and I are driving with her out in the hills. There is this girl walking out there who is David's sister, and Dana keeps teasing her and pretending she's going to run her over. I am with Dana, Rose, and Maria and we are walking into what we think is LMC but ends up being this weird side hallway in a place that is a combination of Raley's and some doctors office. We meet up with Mark and John, and we all decide that we're going to buy a drink and a magazine. Instead of going up to a front register we just put our money in this weird box in the side hallway. I am having a really hard time finding the magazines, but I find rows full of CD's and so I decide to buy a Simon Stinger one even though I know I don't have enough money. I also decide to buy some Snapple. I am still looking around for the magazines and I'm walking over by the orange juice when I see Suzanne Somers, who in the dream is an old teacher of mine.

I am watching a "Nightmare on Elm Street" movie but it is also happening to me at the same time. I am babysitting this little boy and his friend, and we're walking near this shopping center next to the beach. The two boys walk out from under this awning but when I try to go through it suddenly comes down and I have to try and slide under it before it closes completely. Freddy Krueger is this huge octopus-looking thing in the ocean and tries to stick a tentacle in at me, but I somehow stab it or cut part of it so that it pulls away. I walk around, looking for the little boys, and I find one of them in this area that looks like the back of LMC. Somehow he and the other boy end up getting killed. I go to what I think is home but is really my grandma's house, and my parents are sitting there with a boy and a girl who are my friends. They tell me they saw something on the TV about the boys dying and they asked me what happened. I told them, "You see, everyone's going to be getting killed off until there's only one person left, and they'll think it's that person who did it all. But don't worry if it's you, because you're going to die too." I am in my bedroom and there's some commercial on for Child's Play 2 on TV, but it's not the real movie. I am covering my eyes because I don't want to see but I can hear a woman and Chucky talking, and she keeps going on about how he's the only one she can talk to and he does nothing but call her a bitch. I wake up after spending the night at grandma's house and I go into the kitchen to try and find something to drink, but when I go to the cupboard where the glasses are, all of them are chipped and cracked along the mouth. I'm in my house and I've apparently spent the night downstairs, and my mom thinks I was out all night. I am in the living room trying to use the computer and Sonny is pretending to be a ghost to scare me, and I get into a fight with him. I'm trying to get online because I think Maria is dead for some reason and if she's on then she's not dead [duh].

This young guy (in his 20's) and an older woman (in her 40's/50's) are holding me and another girl hostage.
We're sitting in the middle of this semi-fancy restaurant eating when I say I have to go to the bathroom. I go
and to get back I have to pass by a lady at a desk. I tell her really quietly as I'm about to walk in, "Call the police.
They're holding me hostage." And she's like, "What?" And I say, "Just call them!" So I go back in and sit
down, and we're eating when all of a sudden there's a bunch of policemen surrounding the oustide of the
room (the walls are glass). The other hostage and I start inching away from our captors so that when the
police come inside they won't accidentally shoot us. My family is going on vacation and leaving me at
home by myself so I'm really impatient for them to go. I keep asking them what time they're going to leave
and all my mom will say is, "Oh, you're just trying to get rid of us." There's a small family party happening
on a side street near my grandma's house. Lola and her mother are arguing because Lola had bought
something from a store when her mother had told her it wasn't her turn to buy something. It's later on in
the night after my family has left for their trip and Mark is hanging out at my house. There is some party
that he wants to go to so we drive there. At the party I'm talking to this super cute guy and he's saying
how he usually ends up getting drunk at parties because they're so boring and I say something like, "You
mean you never go to a party that you want to remember afterwards?" And he says "No, not until now" and we
start kissing a lot. I'm walking around this huge house trying to find a bathroom to use but all of them can
be seen into because their are glass windows between them and other rooms in the house. I finally find
one that I think I can use because no one is around but as I'm putting one of those weird paper covers on
the seat [and it's not even a public bathroom!] a bunch of people walk by. I'm in a grocery store and I see
Maria a ways off so I run up to talk to her. She seems really depressed and I ask her what's wrong. She
says that one of her best friends at work has stopped talking to her. I ask her if she knows why and she
says the only thing the friend would tell her is "We can't be friends anymore."

I'm going to a 4 year college and some of my classmates and myself drive this guy way out into the middle
of nowhere because he'd killed a lot of people (little kids I think). As soon as we drop him off we all run
back into the schoolbus and drive back home. When I get to my house there's a guy there I go to school
with and I need to talk to him because we find out that the guy we sent away might be coming back somehow. We go into my parents room to talk but my mom comes in and starts yelling at me for some reason or another. We go into my kitchen and we're looking at the knives and the blade of the biggest knife is missing. I'm in the backyard with my mom, the guy, and someone else. There are these weird sprinklers hanging down so that it seems like it's raining in the backyard in front of the shed. I'm feeding Bo and over his food I put all of this ice and hail. There are these little fires that keep starting in the front of the shed so I have to keep putting them out. We are getting the backyard ready for some prisoners who are going to be transported there. I'm at the 4 year school (I have no idea which one it is) and I visit these 2 guys in their dorm, and they can somehow see into the dorm below them, and they are watching the 2 girls who live there have sex. I'm out in the mountains with the people from my screenwriting class and there's this big bucket full of ice and spring water that we are drinking from. I'm at some department store with Maria and we're walking towards the dressing rooms and Michael C. Hall passes us by. I'm in the dressing room trying on these clothes and Dana is in the next stall with these two guys.

I'm sitting in this little area in LMC with Maria, her ex-boyfriend named "Ben", his current girlfriend and some other people. Maria and Ben are arguing about how they broke up and it was because he had cheated on her with the girl he was with now. Ben was being stupid and yelling and I finally got his attention and I was like, "You know, I always thought you were a good boyfriend to Maria until now," and then we started to make fun of his girlfriend, because she had really big hair and really bad makeup. Everyone is in the backyard and we're playing with Bo Charley. I look over the back gate for some reason and I see a dog that looks exactly like him, only with green eyes instead of brown. The dog comes in and they both start playing. I start to pet one and the other runs up because he wants to be petted, too. I have to pet them both at the same time or the other will be sad. I'm sitting in this movie theater with Maria. My family is in the next row over, and Eileen is sitting in the row in front of us. These guys are teasing her and someone from the front throws a girls purse at her. The girl whose purse it is says "I don't really need that purse, anyway." When we think no one is looking Maria and I pick up the purse and start to go through it to see if we can find anything interesting. The girl from the front suddenly calls that she needs it back so we pass it up. All of the advertisements and things before the movie are black with red text. There's a thing put up that says if you get kicked out of the theater, you have to go to the reception area. My family is at my grandma's house and we're looking at this board that has a schedule on it. The schedule is for these people who are making some movie, and at the bottom it says the total filming time is 1827 days** [see note at end] I'm walking down the street near the "More for Less" and there are a bunch of people who are walking in the roads like they are in cars. I'm following the guy in front of me and he goes through the intersection even though it's a red light. I see some cars who have their green lights coming our direction. I ask him if he should be doing that. He says, "The cars will stop for you if you're a hard worker." I say something like, "Well, I'm lazy, so maybe I better not try," and I turn back. It's night and pretty dark and I walk over to the "More for Less." It's scary because I can see it's dark in there. Outside there is this guy walking around, and I'm scared but I act calm and go into the store because I don't want him to chase me. In the store, Richard and an old lady are working behind the counter. All of a sudden the scary guy comes in. He's a little old man and he's holding this huge knife and waving it around. he tells me that if I try to do anything he'll kill me and so I say "I promise I won't tell anyone." The lights are turned on and I pretend to look at this huge display of sunglasses. The sunglasses are really weird because the lenses are the normal width but they are really, really long. The crazy guy rips up a fish with his knife and it gets all over the hands of myself and the old lady who works there. We go into the back (which is where she lives) to wash our hands. While doing it we talk quietly about ways to tell the crazy guy and his companions that we will not tell anyone about what happened if they let us go.
** I didn't think too much about the meaning of "1827" at first although I thought it was kind of weird to have such a specific number. While I was getting ready for school I wondered how many years that was. 1827 days divided by 365 (the number of days in a year, duh) is a little bit over 5. Then I figured out that 1,827 days is five years exactly if the first year and the last year are LEAP years.
