December 10 Dream

I walked into like a police break room, and it became clear that I was their Sargent, we were on an island below Japan, and I didn't speak Japanese and they all did. So I kinda wandered around the office trying not to get noticed. I looked at a map but it didn't look like Japan but I still knew I was below it. So I tried some of the lockers to put my coat in. They all had pretty big locks on them but all the locks were undone already, so I guess I looked at the lock for a while then put my coat away. I then walked around some of the computers, it looked like they were running XP so I thought I would log onto my email. But the first one I tried was locked up and the second was at the blue screen of death. I looked around for others and there were a few but I didn't really feel like checking my email anymore. So I sat down at the table in the middle of the room where some of the officers where sitting. The two across from me started speaking pretty quickly in Japanese as if they were registering a professional complaint. But I couldn't understand a word of it, I wanted to interrupt them and let them know that I didn't understand but I kinda felt that I didn't know their culture so I shouldn't chance it. When they finished I tried explaining to them that I spoke English and couldn't understand a word they were saying. So I finally said "American" which they understood, so they pointed to one of the officers behind me who was non-oriental. So I mentioned to him that I needed an interpreter for the day which he didn't seem to care about. So I said I would make him my partner which overjoyed him. He started thanking me and asking "really" like I had just made his life goal. Throughout my entire time in this room I got that idea that I really was their Sargent but they kinda resented me because of something I had recently done, but they were willing to give me a second chance and this was it. Also, that they would follow me no matter what I did but they still didn't approve of whatever it is I had done. There was also some test, but I don't remember taking it. We got our exam breakdowns back. It was like a full page of text printed landscape, and I could read lots of it. I got a 30% in English. I think it was measuring my knowledge of English, like a 100% would be that I knew everything about English. On the other side I got like a 10% in "British" and a 0% in Japanese. The officer next to me was showing off his scores in a way that was meant to put me down. He got a 287% in Japanese, a 40% in English, and like 30% in "British."

So that's the end of scene 1.

We left the station all in one car that was like a Oldsmobile Wagon. They told me that most of the officers had gotten into suitcases in the trunk, and then there were like 3 more in the back seat, and my interpreter was driving. We drove through lots of skyscrapers that kinda reminded me of Las Vegas. Some of the casinos had the same names but there were banks that I recognized. I think it was a one way road through all these large buildings and there wasn't much traffic. I spent a good bit of time looking out the windows at the buildings, recognizing a few but not all. I guess we drove to a park.

End of scene 2.

At the park we walked over by a fence and under a couple trees and started throwing a bunch of Frisbee and Aerobies around the park, there were a couple of other people at the park doing this as well. There was like a Zen-master to our right and far away that was combining the Aerobies into different shapes and throwing those with interesting results. He once made an M and threw it kinda over a large fence a few other Aerobies went over the fence at the same time. And the M circled back and knocked the fence over from the inside. So I ran across the field to retrieve it for him and I got it and some of the others, then threw the M back to him in a really arching way. He had already started making his next disk, which at the time looked like four fish swimming in a circle following each others' tails right in front of him. The M fell down the center of the fish and the whole thing transformed into a shark-like thing with it's tail rapped around its body where the fish had been. It fell to the ground and twitched a little. Then I think the master took it back and started reforming it.

End of scene 3.

Actually, that might have been the end of the dream. But the next one totally goes along with it.

So I was walking along in like a superstore, I got the idea that I was with someone, like my parents, but I never saw them. But I did see someone that looked like my sister shopping with what looked to be her parents (but they definitely weren't our parents) And from the Japanese dream I had met my two brothers and talked to them but I really don't remember when that happened. So I figured I'd go talk to her about that dream. I asked her if we could go to a different isle and talk. So we went to the next isle over. I told her that I had a sister that looked just like her. She was 24 and I was 22, she went to UNC and I went to Mines. I was kinda recalling these things like the real world was a dream that I was telling her about. I told her about the Japanese dream. I knew in the dream that the Japanese dream had been a dream but it never dawned on me that this too could be one.

End of scene 4.

I think this dream lasted about a day. When I went into the station it was morning and at the end of the park scene I think the sun had set. Actually, the superstore scene might have been the next day. It kinda seemed like the morning also. I'm sure I left so much out. Like when I woke up I could remember all the conversations I had had in each of the dreams, and everything that I had thought. But almost an hour later there are holes in the stories that I just don't remember, but something did happen there.
