Yay! Blog! v2.0

I was in the street in a neighborhood. There was a kid shooting baskets on the side of the road. There was a truck/van parked under the basket, and it had tools scattered on its roof. When the kid made a basket, it would bounce onto the roof and the tools would clatter. A lady was riding by on a bicycle. She was complaining about the kid shooting baskets. I told her to "Shut Up!" She rode over to me. I put my hand on her handlebars, but quickly removed it because I thought she might hurt me. She said something to me, and ended it with, "It's as natural as Mada Para" (pronounced Mah-ta Pair-a).

I think she wanted someone to move the truck, but while she spoke, someone moved the basketball goal back several feet away from the truck.

I think I was still on vacation. I went to a house in Tennessee. I wasn't sure whose house it was, but I went inside. There were 4-5 people there. I thought one was Serena Matthews from MP3.com and one was John Ingram from Ampcast.com. I've not met either of them in real life. I didn't want to tell them who I am because of my weight. I thought they'd be disappointed.

I don't think I stayed long. I was driving away. I felt bad, and decided to go back and tell them who I am. I went down one street and got stopped by a train. I turned around to go another street, and got stopped by a couple more trains. I went a long way around and found myself in a party district. The buildings were colorful. There were a few blocks of non-party businesses, then another party area. It had the word balloon in its name. I don't remember stopping, but I ended up with a cake. It was shaped like a clown or pirate and had a bottle of tequila baked into the legs. I think the nose was an upside down shot glass.

I went back to the house. The front of it was like a piece of antique furniture with doors in the front. I opened one door and there was a board to take out behind that. Then there was a door with slots. I could hear a woman singing and playing guitar. I thought it was Serena, but her voice wasn't as light and angelic as I'm used to. Then I could see through the slots a little, and thought I saw people making love. I started to leave again.

I don't know what happened, but then I was back inside. I was getting into my purse to get some money. Serena came into the room. I told her it was my purse that I was getting money from. I asked her if she knew who I was. She said yes, but she was only trying to save herself embarrassment because she didn't really know. I gave her the cake.

In a little bit, I told her who I was. She was happy, and we hugged. I got confirmation that one of the guys was John Ingram, too.

There was more to the dream, but I'm having a hard time remembering the details. In some parts, I remember that there were details, but not the details themselves. Like I know there was writing on the front of Serena's house. The trains that stopped me were unique, but I don't remember in what way. Ah well.

I was in my house (but not a house I recognize in real life). Looking out the back window, I saw most of a plane hurtling toward the earth. I thought it might hit my house, but then it sailed overhead. I picked up my dog. I think it was my prior dog, Mandy. I held her tight and went to the front window. The plane kept going a little ways, but then plunged to the ground. I held Mandy tight, waiting for the resulting fireball to engulf us. The fire started coming through the house, but stopped short of us. A couple of things caught on fire, but I was able to put them out quickly by swatting them with a pillow. There was more to the dream, and I think some of it was at the house I grew up in in Houston. My Dad was in it, although I didn't see him. It's like he was at work or something. I don't remember my Mom being in it.
