Jan. 19-20Unfortunately, that's all I can remember right now. Perhaps the rest will come back to me at some point, when I least expect it.
My sister worked at this amusement part in a seedy area of Keansburg. She had made this 1st person shooter video game and then was showing us around. I saw pictures of her in this newspaper. I was trying to gather them in my hands. Also, my stepfather was Jeff Bridges and he gave me little pieces of paper with the amounts of money he owed me.
In another, there was a salon that was also selling ice cream - people were swarming the place, digging their hands into big bowls of it. One of the hairdressers (a dark skinned, brunette dude) led me to this elevated seat where he (I guess) was giving me a haircut. Then I remember I paid, but I don't think I gave him a good tip. I was still there going through old school papers, and I found an old fortune cookie fortune that said something like "You no snow" which we thought was quite funny. Then they put up a sign in the salon which announced they were requiring a large tip (however, the sign said "5.3333 to 17" or something equally in-cohesive.) They were not letting me leave until I paid, and I was anxiously trying to dig through my wallet for money.
Jan. 22
I was a boy and I was trying to find my way through this department store. I had my little sister with me. There was something I needed to find, so I went to the upstairs portion. However, when I finally reached the top I realized it was an adult novelty store/peep show, so I hastily made my way back down the escalator trying not to provoke attention. Coming out the door, two cast escaped and we were chased by policemen. That cats were scared but we calmed them down.
At another point we were waiting outside and were approached by a bully. Somehow we beat him and hid the evidence in two bags we were carrying, then innocently sauntered away.
The dream after this one was that Ryan and I were a brother and sister duo (that wasn't really brother and sister), and we were in this sort of foster family pretending to be younger than we were because we were really aliens/cyborgs/something not normal. I kept switching between being the main character and seeing that girl from an outside perspective. At one point there was a pelvic exam on top of the hood of the car, which we tried to protest against. Then we were in bed and my dad was tucking us in, and we felt odd since we were being treated like we were 5 or 6 when we felt in our 20s. I walked around and oddly felt as if I was smaller than everyone even though I wasn't. Other children exclaimed "Wow, you're getting so tall." I walked around, crawling a bit, pretending to play the part of a small child. There was a boyfriend of one of the family members who was a suspicious guy.
I explored and saw someone on TV getting angry because his house was made of ice. He kicked in the door and it fell over, cracking a small piece off. Inside this piece of ice was a small diamond that made them rich. I carried this diamond away in my mouth and placed it in a saucer on our end table.
Not sure how this came next, but R was on a conveyor belt net going over a dump. I climbed on and Bill Murray followed. He pointed out that there was a human brain at the green checkpoint ahead. It was small and he picked it up to give to me, so that I could study the human brain better. We went around in a loop (we were slightly worried we would fall.) In the center was a large drill encased in glass.
Suddenly I was the R (male) part of the dream, and I realized that my "sister" and Mr. Murray had gone down into the "C" middle portion of the lot, where they were taking a tour of the drill. I followed them in, and all of sudden there was an alarm: they were evacuating because of an explosion. R (or I) ran through this flash threshold and into this dreamy, neon cavernous world that almost seemed to be upside down. There was fire pouring down like lava. I saw myself turn into an alien of some sort (but really my head just looked like a giant, doughy dumpling, with a big split for a mouth.) A voice informed me this was to ensure I could survive in the environment. I entered another threshold and was inside a futuristic looking department store, with different areas of products being sold. I found Bill Murray, slightly greyed, and the girl as well. But she had aged about 16 years and was now a grown woman, though still possessing child-like manners.
We perused a shelf of beauty products, where I found a glittery lip balm. We took it along with us and urged Bill to follow. We exited the threshold and were back to "reality", only older now. We also realized that we were being followed by a robot that looked like IG-88. Bill expressed his disdain - he had known that this was going to happen.
I'm not really sure what happened next - what the string of events actually was. I know at some point in the dream I was walking in Prague towards my old apartment in Nusle. I had just passed the corner where I had waited for the tram and was wondering if it was the right place. I figured I might as well move forward and see if things looked familiar. The homes looked like slightly upscale brownstones.
