Night of 2011-02-08 to 09

Night of 2011-02-09 (or 8):

I was on a wide, white bus that had multiple layers. It was big. Maybe it was a train. I was looking at a map of the bus, trying to figure out what I was supposed to do, but I couldn't. On the bus, I found an open locker of this high school girl in a classroom on the--it must be a train. I saw a handout from one of her classes that told her how to use the train and I thought it was helpful. The class that it was for had just left, and I teacher gave the directions but I was supposed to be able to figure it out on my own. Oh well.

I was running home from the beach and I saw Andrei, Zack's and my friend. He asked what I was up to, and I told him and he was impressed how far I was running. When I asked him if he wanted to run with me the rest of the way, it turned out he was genuinely too busy to. I may have been stuck, perhaps because I had sand in my shoes. If so, this may be why I had to take the bus/train above. (In real life I took a UCSD shuttle when I hurt my ankle. Related?)


Night of 2011-02-10:
We were on a family vacation at Mammoth, and I was spending the day with my family once again after a long time of being at college. Jacqueline in this dream was younger than she is now. We were at the bottom of this hill, and Jacqueline went in to some little store and got stuck talking to the cashier. My parents were outside and I think they were frustrated. I called out to Jacqueline, "Jacqueline, you need to come over here right now!" in a low parental-sounding voice, thereby saving her from the conversation with the cashier. Then we were on our way.
At the top of the hill it was time for the surprise! A brown bunny that we once had that died long ago--Mom brought it up for me so I could see it once again! I went up to it's face and its nose vibrated and I rejoiced in my heart. She brought some other animals too, perhaps our cats (from real life), but I didn't care about them. Thanks Mom! This meant more to me than the care package you gave me on your last visit. But one question - did you take the bunny away from me all this time so that you could surprise it with me on that day? I had a feeling that you did.

I kept looking at my watch and it was 11AM. I was talking about it with Vincent Nguyen and Jordan Marvasti while they were eating, saying I really hoped that it was that time. They said that it wasn't. In Jordan's weather class (which he has in real life) the teacher talked about a security breach that got a hold of all the clocks, keeping them back. I figured it was actually about 16:00 from the look of the sun.


I know that there is so much more to these dreams. I'll never remember it though. Every fact about my dreams that I forgot because I waited too long to write it down, or because I didn't recall it in time, is lost. Lost like the excerpts of Xenophanes' poetry that was never found and was never quoted by someone else. Yeah, like that.
