Only in Dreams

This must be the second time that this happened but I was walking around on BYU campus and to avoid parking problems, I pulled my car into the entryway of one of the buildings. I was in the process of walking back to check on it when I noticed that someone had just barely left a ticket on it. I yelled out, "sir! sir!, excuse me! what seems to be the problem?" It was Klaus. He was working for the department as the guy who wrote up parking tickets. We got into a very heated and emotional argument. "Do you see any signs around here? Any at all that say No Parking? I'm parked perfectly legally. Turns out that I had to hunt down the Dean to submit an appeal because the ticket had already been written. The dean's office was hard to find, but it was upstairs hidden behind some microfilm storage areas. Some old lady finally helped me find the dead. She was busy talking with what looked to be her sister. She was very scrawny and had a larger oval/alien shaped head. She was still pretty though, and I was looking to see if she had a marriage ring on or not. Someone else there commented on her bracelets that had strange gems (they looked like eyes) and they had a white fur that came out of the sides of them in patches. I patiently waited nearby as she worked through the other situation. and I followed. We walked past my car and I realized that I wouldn't have to worry about getting another ticket because the first ticket was still on my windshield. I ended up outside and I ran into Klaus again where we started arguing. I was telling him how he should just take the ticket and rip it up or else I was going to write him a letter that said something like, "Dear Klaus...why do you enjoy being such a dick and leaving people tickets where they are perfectly and legally parked? There are no no-parking signs in the area that should not allow me to park inside the building." To which Klaus responded, "Dear Jacob, it is common knowledge that you cannot park cars inside of buildings and it does not need to be posted that this is against the rules." I remember getting so mad inside at the system that I just wanted to ram my car out through the glass doors. This whole time, BYU students were very offended and shocked that someone would be so defiant. I love that feeling.

I was walking around an outdoor mall with a friend and we had a pet tiger that was walking around with us. It didn't need a leash and it was very obedient. Another cool thing about it was that it would purr and brush up against my side so people knew that the tiger and I were friends. It was a white Siberian tiger. This outdoor mall area was very reminiscent of Brazil. Fast-forward to another part of the dream and I go up some stairs into a strange diamond/jewelry store. The interior looked like the library that we had at high school. A bunch of the salespeople were sitting around at desks and I walked up to one of them. I explained that I was shopping for an engagement diamond. Not the ring, just the diamond to see what they were like/cost/etc. The guy handed me a sheet with a table on it with varying types of cuts/size/clarity/etc. Some of the more expensive ones were red diamonds, upwards around 1,500 or so. This was without the ring mind you. Now the guy was talking and talking all flowery and too bad for him but I wasn't going to buy anything. He mentioned that he would love to see my fiancée to help match a diamond to her style, AKA try and sell her on a diamond because I wasn't going to give in and buy anything. He phrased it such, "I'd love to see the beautiful girl who this ring will belong to, it would help me provide the best diamond for her." To which I replied, "I'm not engaged." So suck it. I walked out into the mall (upper level) and wandered around again before walking back into the store to exit out to my car outside. As I entered back into the store, all the sales-people were staring at me, a lady in particular and I just strolled on through. As I was about to leave the guy tried to sell me again, but I just kept on walking.

I was somewhere in a neighborhood like sugarhouse or somewhere in Kansas City. My brother Nathan and I were playing a video game like Godzilla or something and we enabled the "dragon" mode which became virtually impossible. A robotic bird looking dragon would just peek over the top of the mountain and vaporize us. The only way we somehow would beat it is by quickly grabbing it's neck while someone was distracting it and holding it tight as it discharged a poison/electric spine out of it's neck. The spine and shell were blue. We figured we were 6-8 hours behind what time it should be and were we just waiting to leave for the airport and were going to eat dinner, because it was 2 in the afternoon. We realized we were going to be getting in really late and we would be tired.

I was up in Seattle for a work related party. It was at a low cost apartment complex and Cailie had come along with me. This was a big deal because we weren't really dating or anything. Anyways, there was food and people started watching a movie. I really wanted to leave and go check out the city and plus the people from work weren't really fun to hang out with. Later Cailie and I cuddled on a couch and didn't really talk about much. It was relaxing.

This all took place in Sugarhouse at some Frat type houses. The girls we knew threw a big party celebration thing. Brityn was there so it was fun talking with her about married life and such. We were also located near a mall where the girls could dress up and just ride the escalator and guys would just pick them up then and there. Maybe this took place in New Orleans. Because one of the plantation looking houses had suffered some water damage, but now it had been restored for the party. There was also a diving competition that was going on, only instead of diving, they had waterslides. Really weirdly arranged ones with hairpin bends and vertical drops. I had my socks on when I went headfirst and backwards so I had to hold my feet up for speed. I didn't do very well, but I wasn't competing.

There was an island with an ancient cavern system under it. Like Wayne manor. Only the place was even older. More like from the 1800's, at least the manor. The cavern system was discovered by a Leonardo Da'Vinci type character and a swarm of bees lived below in the caverns. He asked himself, "Where does the color brown get it's energy?" and deduced that it comes from the sun, into plants (green) where the bees take that energy from the flowers and turn it into a form of energy in honey. Basically vitamin C, only the guy didn't know about it then. He used this idea as a form of renewable energy to genetically modify the bees so that he could pull power from the swarm as they flew around. One day, he called his son into his study where he showed him the map of the underground caverns. He explained that above ground, where there was a large natural land bridge, they would go underground and connect the two sides of the caves to let the bee's get access to other parts of the island through the underground. I was on the beach with some friends where we were trying to decide what to do. I think we wanted to explore the cavern system. Kate was there and she freaked out and pulled out a gun. We knew that someone was going to die, but we didn't know who it was. Kate turned the gun on herself but at the last minute aimed it at me and shot me in the head. I fell backwards into the water but I wasn't dead. The bullet had incapacitated me somehow but I was very much alive and didn't think I would die. Everyone saw me get shot it the head and figured that was the end for me. My friend Erik came over to me and gave me some re-assuring words before he pushed me out into the ocean past the waves where I was captured by the current. I just wished I was dead instead of in that immobilized situation. I knew the flowing blood from my head would attract sharks but at the same time I started sinking and the drowning didn't hurt. I imagined how all the fish would start to eat my remains but I knew I wouldn't feel anything if I just hurried up and drowned. But I was still conscious as I sank.

Our airplane either went to or crashed on a strange island. Sort of like Lost. Only mixed with Jurassic Park. I was there with my family. Initially we had no clue what was going on and so we decided to explore along the cliff side. Then a large robotic/godzilla hybrid harvester came after us. We hid down in some sandy holes but the sand below kept slipping out and mom almost fell down at one time. There was a moment when I actually thought she was dead. The harvester was right above us trying so hard to capture us. It even shot me in the stomach with strange knife bullets. Once it finally gave up and went away we continued further. The cities were always ruined and dilapidated. Muddy roads and almost western style wooden houses and buildings I was trying to find some money to use but there wasn't anything good. There were tons of different sizes of coins and such. I found a buffalo dollar. So many of the coins were smashed like they had been on a railroad because of the harvesters that would go around on tank treads and such. The only thing that was worth anything was things that "lasted" so not copper or gold or coins but things that lasted longer. They also had to have a certain relief carving/emblem on them. In this case it was a two-headed eagle. Also the native religion was very Hindi. With people at one time asking me what my favorite god was and I just went along with it and said Shiva. But I really wanted to say Kali Ma, only I was worried they would be offended. This was at a particular residence when we were slowly moving through and abandoned wooden mall. We had already gone through part of the mall that was new and full of Disneyland type stores. But in this part of the mall, we (the people of the resistance) were positive that there was, I knew that this part of the underground was somehow being swarmed by the robotic harvesters, only they must have been smaller versions so they could fit inside the hallways and such. There was a particular guy who was leading the resistance and he was giving people incentive to check out one last room that was nearby to make sure we had it secured. I had somehow found a baseball bat and a knife that I stowed in my sock/shoe because I didn't have a boot. Some people had some interesting shotguns with curved nozzles that they could aim around corners. It was really dark and I'm sure the people below us were worried that we were above them making noise, but we knew that we weren't the machines. A guy came in and he was really fat and he walked over to me and I yelled out "Hurley" only as he got closer I realized that he wasn't Hurley. He looked like him though, only he was older. He ended up sitting next to his wife/girlfriend and they were eating something.

We were getting shuttled to the place. The train system seemed to be a cross between an airplane and a rollercoaster. I had placed a towel and my hoodie in the car in front o me but as the train was arriving in the large round tunnels, the cars would slide parallel to each other and get routed down separate tracks. Once we all got off, I ran back to try and look for it because it had gotten separated from me. A nurse noticed something different about me and the way I was acting so she tried to give me a shot. The drug was supposed to remove my sex drive and make me more submissive to the harvesters and the people with political power. I got into an argument with the Nurse, she was saying that everyone got the shot and that I needed it especially because I was so intent on procreating? We got into a scuffle where I got hold of the syringe and stuck her in the back of the neck. The drug knocked her out and she fell to the ground. I got out of the medical type wing of the station. Doing that somehow gave me the advantage to see the harvester coming or to know that we were in danger and I was able to warn my family and escape, even though most of the people were already being captured as they left the complex. The Harvester was driven/controlled by some witch type lady who hated us.
