Only in Dreams

I was with some friends on a giant section of ocean that was set up like a natural flowrider with easy access to where the wave would break. People were lined up on the left and right side waiting for their turn to catch the next wave but since it was in the ocean I just walked into the middle and caught the next once because I felt like snaking everyone. The wave was epic, it barreled perfectly and I soared down the face. Just for fun I bailed and let the water pummel me into the sand. Salt water shooting up my nose. I miss the ocean.

I was at Walmart with Kelsey and Nate. Something big had just happened somewhere and everyone was talking about it. Whatever it was, it ended up making Walmart so busy that we're talking hours to check out. I had a few things to get but I mostly had to buy a pair of slippers that I could use in a nursing type position. It seemed to affect all Walmarts along the Wasatch front and it also made traffic really bad. We got on a subway (in a magical station) and we were able to get to a different one and as we got out we heard some people talking about how they got their prescription filled but it would still be a 5 hour wait to pay for it since it was so busy. The good thing about the subways is that they could travel underground because the thing that was messing everything up was high winds. So high that people were pulling over and stopping so they wouldn't get blown off the highway.

I was living in downtown Kansas City but crime had gotten really bad. Traffic was also so terrible that the only real way to get around was by bus. I was really involved in institute. So much that I would head up to the institute building almost every day. It was also a church building complex. Everything was very secure. One of the classrooms had French written on the door in cut out letters. Something like "I love to read the Book of Mormon." So I knew that maybe it wasn't Kansas City but some place in Africa. It would take at least an hour each day to get on the buses and transfer so I could get up there. I knew I could take the 20 or the 9. Both of which I would change at the train station (possibly the magical one) then catch the 20 in the opposite direction. The building was north of the river and so that's why crime was so bad up there. I remember talking with someone about how much I missed driving and I wouldn't even care if my car got smashed up a bit on the outside I would drive so aggressively that everyone on the streets would learn to get out of my way. One particular day I rode up specifically for a stake dance type thing. I had to get there real early because of the bus times. A girl I knew got the 20 but I missed it and I ended up catching the 9. Her name is Marit. I changed buses and final got to the institute building. Marit and I started talking about the bus system and she mentioned that she didn't have to change on the 20, it came right to the church. Kendis and Alyssa were also there and in a side room we were all talking. Alyssa and Kendis were talking about some special boys that they couldn't wait to run into that night. I was kinda down and out because I didn't have any girls to hang out with once they started hanging with their boys. I think Marit even left early. I started wandering around the building since no one was there yet and I found an office that was open. I wandered in and found a video picture frame. It was titled Waterfalls in Moab. It was showing some rainfall that produced a cool waterfall on some redrock. Some native americans were there storing the water in jars but then it started to flash flood since it was in a slot canyon. They guy filming was a bit away but his grandmother was very close to the waterfall. She started walking back towards the camera but not in time. Hundreds of gallons of water and rock smashed down right behind where she was standing and she hobbled slowly still towards the camera. She started to get drenched but was still fine until the water filled up the area behind here and then changed directions. The last thing before the video repeated was her getting buried in a wave and the camera man yelling and dropping the camera. I had also been taking some flight lessons nearby and it was with the intent that I would be able to fly a jump-jet to and from institute and avoid all the crime and traffic. I had a small scale model of the jet in Stealth but I didn't know how to enlarge it and fly it. I had only taken one class so far but if I could only enlarge the model I would have been fine flying it home. Last thing I remember is google-ing "How to enlarge an shrunken stealth fighter".

Kelsey and I were in a large crypt-like-cave. At the bottom of the cave below in the darkness was a fountain of some sort. Instead of water coming out of it, every single book/manuscript/record ever written in the history of the world was bubbling out and piling up. It was building a mound so high that we couldn't see the bottom of the chamber. We were both standing on top of the mound and we had a native guide with us who was explaining what was happening. This place was a hidden, sacred place and we had only been admitted access due to our archeological cunningness. As the books kept piling up, I glanced down and saw a familiar one. A yellow hard-cover book titled The Laugh Book. I reached down and grabbed it to take home as a souvenir. Plus Kelsey didn't know any of the jokes in it so we would have a good time reading it together.

I was sleeping with Kelsey at a different ranch style house back in a separate room when I had to get up to get a drink. As I walked out into the living room I noticed a bunch of people were over visiting and everyone seemed to be having a good time. Mantooth was sitting on the couch and I said "hi" as I walked past to the kitchen. On my way back she reached out and grabbed my arm and started to joke/flirt with me. I was pretty astonished because she never notices me, too bad for her it was too little too late. Kelsey was waiting for me in the back room so I made my way back there.

I was somehow trapped in the past. There was a mixture of future as well, as if the future now had somehow become the past somewhere else. Time just cycled. I was on an expedition with a group of people and we were exploring an old pyramid system that was discovered in a cave in Cambodia. Green vines snaked and engulfed the mayan-esq ruins. We had found entrance into the main pyramid and within it was a type of holographic computer system. Letters and symbols spun within boxes much like the symbols on a slot machine. The screen and interface had a tinge of green to them. Inside I remember hearing a song by Jack's Mannequin where the chorus says "Sky Blue, Sky Blue. Have you ever been alone in a crowded room?" We knew that inside this system had the clues to developing/using an advanced missile launching system. Possibly built into the pyramid structure. I stepped outside to contemplate how to unlock the system. As I walked around, I discovered large blue crystals partially buried in the sand. I picked up some of them and then it clicked. I rushed into the inner chamber and looked through the blue crystal at the interface and the numbers seemed to stop spinning and started to spell out phrases. It actually reminded me of wheel of fortune. I felt the urgency to get out of there for some reason. Possibly the same reason that once the group started to crack into the system and unlock the data, the stone doors started closing and the water began to flush out of the pyramid and fill the cave and corridors. I was outside but only a few people made it with me. The others had to find some sort of release mechanism to get out. I started to scramble up the side of the pyramid as water filled in around me. Luckily, the others who were inside found their way out and on top with me. We climbed through a vine-filled hole in the ceiling and out into the jungle above. Ever since they activated the weapons system there was this urgency pressing my mind. This feeling was escalated as a Tyrannosaurus burst out of the brush behind us and started charging to eat us. Naturally we ran and along the way of dodging trees and such many of us found bicycles to ride. This made the getting away much easier. A native started riding a bike past us but someone knocked him off and next thing I know, they were on his bike making a clean getaway from the dinosaur. I had a sick mountain bike and I was ramping over roots and such escaping with ease.

Turns out I just ended up moving to Seattle. I had a hard time getting around at first. There was a train I was supposed to catch called the 810 but I was one level too high in the magic train station and it never came. I ended up walking/looking for a bus. The city had a Detroit kinda feel to it except that there was a lot of water. I saw the biscuits and they were sure to help me out. I got around pretty easily with my GPS to. The place I was staying at was amazing. It was on the waterfront next to a river and my friends/roommates were awesome. There was a black guy who was cool, Sarah was also there as well as a cute red-head and some others. The very first thing everyone did was jump and swim in the river even though the water was really cold. The leaves were already turning on the vines hanging over the water a golden yellow. The sunlight was setting and I was wishing I had my camera. So I ended up taking some photos on my phone. We ended up going out to visit some places in town. I really wanted to get to the beach. As we came back, I had to unpack and get settled. Some guy started installing some photoshop software onto my computer and swiped my credit card in a machine. I asked him what he was doing and why he was charging me. He was a roommate! They should do that sort of stuff for free. I explained that I was probably the most computer savvy guy around. I figured he was in a tight spot because of the economy and so we sat down and talked about it. Taylor just stared in disbelief. My bedroom was actually just a closet area with the desk built into the closet, with the bed elevated on the other side of the sliding door. The apartment had 10+ foot ceilings and parts of the trees were growing through the walls. Lots of glass windows so we could see the river and water as if flowed by. I started cuddling with the red-head. I had known her from somewhere before but I mentioned "I wish I would have gotten to know you sooner." It was going to be a good place and I was going to enjoy living here.
