The Nickell

So I am sitting in church and I look over and there are some people you wouldn’t expect at church – like some kids I knew from high school who were big-time trouble-makers and criminals and stuff. Something happened in the order of worship and nobody knows who is supposed to get up to lead the next song. I notice a little kid probably 8-10 yrs old with a huuuuuge grunge mohawk walk past. Some lady stands up and begins to lead a prayer (which, at my congregation, women do not lead church functions). So a little chaos errupts. I get up and leave and so does this girl who I used to like in high school. (at this point i realize I am in high school in my dream).

We are messing around and flirting, etc and then I notice we are walking down some wierd road and she shrinks – like Honey I Shrunk The Kids – but I can hear her talking just fine. She gets shrunk into some trash and I can’t find her. There is a house and I go in looking for some water to throw on this shrunken girl (because I believe it will un-shrink her).

Then I wake up.

I was in one of those walkways between two buildings over a street. Two guys at my work were talking about where we were allowed to park. Another coworker walked up and I leaned back to see around him. More workers kept coming to hear where we had to park, but I kept leaning back more and more. I was leaned back a gravity-defying amount…. like Jackie Chan lean-back. I just remember leaning back and back and back and always being able to keep my balance.

I was on a cruise ship and the girls had brought all their purse-puppies. One girl pulled out a puppy-looking thing that looked like Pacman that looked cute. Another puppy ran up to it and this Pacman thing opened up his mouth like 90 degrees. Almost like a real pacman. It would hissss ridiculsouly loud and had rows of teeth like a shark. It scared the crap out of everyone and they all jumped. It started fighting the other dogs, but they all ran away. The Pacman then transformed into a 1-2inch sized spider. The girl still had it on a leesh. The girl who owned it was laughing and thought it was cute. We kept trying to piss off the spider to see it transform back into a Pacman, but we couldnt get it to. We were 1/2 scared of it, 1/2 wanting to see it so we kept poking it with long sticks. It jumped off the the lower level of the cruise ship and i woke up.

Last night, I had a dream that everyone forgot how to draw the integral symbol from calculus. No one could figure it out, but somehow we determined this girl I know still had the skills the draw the integral. She lived in a pyramid in Egypt and had made the first floor of the pyramid like a modern house with lots of open windows and stuff, but we couldn’t get in the entrance. The entrance was still like the old pyramid and was all stone. Hercules came down from the sky and broke open the entrance so I could go in. The girl I know didn’t know what I was talking about, but we KNEW she could still draw it… she just didn’t know what the symbol was that she didn’t know. She was completely confused. Turns out it was tattood on her. She had no idea how it got tattooed on her though and was completely confused when I became so excited when I saw it.

Similar to my run in with death while hiking in washington, me and my roomate were hiking and thought we were stuck and trapped on a hill, but another friend came marching around the side of the mountain and passed me and my roomate. My roomate and I looked at each other and chased him. Over the next hill was a huge city and when we got down, my mom was waiting in a car. I left my roomate and hopped in the car – finally saved.

We were trying to figure out how to get out of this town and get home when we got into a construction zone and took an offramp – it was the wrong exit and my mom tried to swerve and get back on the highway but she couldnt turn fast enough and we smashed into a huge cement wall.

Next thing, there was an unrelated 4 car crash right next to us. People got out and were screaming and crying, but I just wanted to leave. My mom couldt get the car turned around so she got out and I jumped in the driver seat. The car was a convertible.

About this time, we all realized that one driver in the crash had been ejected from the seat and was laying on the road. The driver was dressed up in a goat/sheep mascot costume and slowly was able to get up, but it started walking on all fours – exorcist/contortionist style right towards me. Everyone ran away and screamed that the hooker’s blood (implying diseased blood) was all over the costume. The goat walked up to me, still frozen in shock in the convertible, and rubbed his hand across my face – smearing blood all over me.

I woke up
