I was still living
at home and Daryl Hall came to stay with us. He was staying in my
room, although I'm not quite sure where I was staying. I remember
driving down my parents' drive (which is 1/4 mile long) and I saw Daryl
walking along the road (I don't know why I didn't stop). When I got
to the house, I went inside and took a shower, so I would be clean by the
time he got back to the house. I went into my room to get dressed,
with only a towel draped around me. I looked out my window to see
if he had gotten close to the house yet. After several minutes, I
saw him coming down the road. I noticed then that he was running,
kind of like sprinting. He ran on the road until he got to the curve
in front of my window, where he veered off onto the gravel side driveway
that leads beside the house and down around to the basement. I noticed
he started kick-boxing near a row of shrubbery maybe 15 feet in front of
my window. I thought he might be able to see me, dressed in nothing
but a towel, so I ducked down below the window, with just my head at window
level. I think he saw me anyway, and he just smiled and kept kick-boxing.
Then he kick-boxed away, like he didn't want me watching him. So
I got up and went to my closet to get dressed. I picked out a cute
short set that was a light tan color, because I thought it would look nice.
Then
I was getting off a boat onto a small island, where I was supposedly in
some kind of obstacle course race. Me and some other person had to
stand on this ladder while the boat owner threw a bucket of salt water
at us. He did, and we got soaked, and I remember being disappointed
that the shower I had taken for Daryl was all for naught now. There
kept being something apocalyptic about the tides were gonna rise and the
islands we were on were going to be nonexistent. They were evacuating
people from the island, along with all of their belongings. I remember
seeing people and their stuff (like big screen tv's and chairs and such)
being loaded into this huge tractor-trailer-like-bus.
Then
I was wandering around some college. I parked my car and went into
the building to this huge auditorium, where everyone was gathered.
There was some ceremony going on (everyone was dressed nice) where each
student had to go down to the stage when their name was called and pick
up some paper or something (it was NOT a graduation ceremony) from this
blind professor. He was jabbering into a microphone while seated,
and reading off a script in his lap. I remember gathering with several
other people on a balcony to watch what was going on. Then he was
calling our group, or getting ready to, so we filed down these beautiful
spiral stairs that criss-crossed. I remember being afraid I was going
to fall off the stairs as I walked down because they were very steep and
it was quite a long way down. Later on I was in a classroom taking
some kind of quiz. I didn't understand why there was already a quiz,
since it was only the 2nd or 3rd class, and we really hadn't learned enough
to take a quiz on. It was a one-page test, question and answer type,
with less than 10 questions. I answered all but the last two questions
when my pen ran out. I was attempting to make it work when the instructor
said that time was up, and she went around collecting the papers.
I continued to try to answer the two questions, since I was seated at the
back of the room and it would take her a minute or two to get to me.
The two questions were rhetorical questions, kind of like "complete this
sentence" where you had to just put in what you thought, not necessarily
the 'right' answer. I had a hard time writing, my hand seemed uncontrollable
and kept messing the words up. At one point it seemed like I was
writing in crayon for the last question. I wrote something like "this
test is not representative of how I will do in the class all semester long."
Then
I was back on another boat, this one in the water, although we were not
sailing, we were anchored in one spot. I was with a whole crew of
people, and we were there for some kind of mission. We were standing
in a section that resembled the inside of an 18-wheeler trailer, and two
men were standing near a big open doorway on one side that looked out onto
the water. These two guys had several huge blue metal barrels, or
50-gallon drums. There was something flammable inside them, and they
were supposed to get rid of them. So these two guys were popping
the tops off of them (which amounted to pulling a ring off the top, like
a beer can or something) to expose a small hole in the top. Then
they would light a match and drop it in. There was a whole group
of us watching them and I remember cringing behind some tall girl, afraid
that the barrels would explode and kill us all. Mostly, though, they
just caught on fire, but if they expected them to blow, the guys would
push them off the boat into the water. One of them did explode after
they threw it out, just before it hit the water (although it was not near
us). There was a neighboring ship that it exploded near, and it blew
some woman off their ship and onto ours. The two guys asked if she
was all right, and she said yes, and dusted herself off and got up.
She said she was an exterminator for the other boat, she said it had a
bad case of termites!
