Stealing Diamonds from Susan Sarandon

I am at a party at a casino with my mother and Susan Sarandon. Susan Sarandon has a round diamond the size of a walnut hanging from her keychain. My mother steals it somehow. I hate this whole situation so I steal it from my mother and run out the door. In the parking lot I stick to the shadows and almost make a break for the street. Instead, I turn back to get my car and I hear the voice of my mother approaching. As I pull out of the parking lot I see police lights behind me.

Captive

I wake up floating on a flat piece of ice on top of water. I look around. All around me is more water with more pieces of ice and its all contained within rounded metal walls (think olympic size swimming pool meets astrodome meets antarctica). There are camera's all over the walls. I know that I am being watched. There is a young girl - maybe 9 - with me. I have been here before, I realize. Last time I thought I had been abducted by aliens. Now I am more skeptical. I don't feel like I am any bodily danger but I do feel trapped.

The ice beneath me melts and I have to search for more ice pieces to float on. Every once in a while I end up sitting on a glacier but I can't remember how I got there. I am missing time. I stare at the video cameras.

After what seems like a few days I find the source of the electricity in the place. I am not sure how - was staring at a flat screen tv and it just came on. Suddenly some of the metal opens up like a garage door off to my left. The girl and I rush over to it. Inside I see a set of stairs which I go up. At the top is another door which leads to a closet-sized room. Inside that room is a one-paned dirty window that looks out onto a city street. I am still in America, I realize. I consider punching through the glass but I look down the stairs first. Sure enough, a blond man is coming up the stairs with a syringe in his hands. They're going to put me out and I'll never remember any of this.

The next part is weird - its like I experience two alternative endings but I'm not sure which one came first. In ending one, I talk to the guy and find out that they're working for/through Applebees and have been doing medical tests on me since I was a kid. I ask him if it will cause cancer or leukemia or something and he says no, so the girl and I go with him. In ending two, I slam the closet door shut, punch through the glass, and open the door from the outside. I let the girl go first then I jump down myself and start running. I try to call for help but I can't talk but people are staring at me so I start to feel safe.

Tongue Sores

Standing in front of my bathroom mirror. I stick out my tongue. It is covered in bulbous painful sores. They are all over my tongue. I panic. Within the dream I start to question what I did to deserve this, and I know that this punishment is self-inflicted, but I don't know how.

Playing Batman

I am wandering through the streets of some city. There are skyscrapers to either side of me. The streets and sidewalks are empty. I look above me and see a man with orange hair and a strange suit. I look to another balcony and there is another man with similar hair and an identical suit. I am aware that this must be one of "the Joker's" areas of town. When I realize that fact I know that I must be Batman. I immediately search for a fire escape ladder, find one and begin climbing up to find The Joker.

About half-way up I am intercepted by one of the men in suits carrying a shiny metal head that looks like Jokers. He feeds some paper into its head and it says something I can no longer remember. I continue climbing up (the suited man does not stop me) and I arrive at a large metal room above the city. Joker is there filling up green balloons with some sort of liquid. I am suspicious. I move toward the balloons and Joker steps in front of them. end.

Amber and the were-bugs

I am in my friend Amber's house. She has recently returned from travelling through a portal to another realm. It is still open and looks like a swirling pink disc in her living room. She has returned with a box full of lycanthropic bugs. I know when I see them that they will turn anyone they bite into a were-something (werewolf, werecat, whatnot). I ask her why she's done this. She says nothing but I can tell that she's done it because she's angry at me.

I leave. I try to reach friends by cell phone to get help. I am unsuccessful. I choose to return to her house. I tell her that her bugs are going to hurt many many people when they're released. She asks why she should care. I say because they are going to have broken bones and pain and that their lives will be different. She agrees to this reasoning. Just then I look down and my cat is lying next to the box. I panic and pick him up and dust my hands through his fur. Dozens of bugs fall out of his fur onto the table. It is too late.

The House and the Hawk

I wake up inside my dream. I am in a wooden shack. Like a home you may see along the side of some highway. I look around briefly but I don't remember who I am or how I got here so I get nervous and leave. I head off to my left through a field of yellow grass. A small hawk comes and lands on my arm. I am pleased to see him. He seems familiar.

Next thing I know I am back inside the house. I am trying to put the hawk into a special box. I succeed in placing him inside and I turn around but I then hear some noise and turn around. The box is flying toward me. I realize that its no use keeping the hawk inside the box.

Then I decide to look around the house. I open all the curtains and both doors. Now that there is light I can see the other rooms clearly. My friend Scott is asleep in one of the beds. Then I see three flashing scenes - in order - Scott and I talking, then fighting, and then sitting crosslegged observing each other.

Flying at the End of the World

The first thing I remember is that I am flying. I am with two other people who are also flying. One of them says that they see nuclear warheads in the air. I am told that this is the end of the world.

Then I am learning how to fly. Its hard to move my body up and stay in the air. Its hard to control my flying. Then I am falling from a plane. Someone is with me. I'm scared of this part I say that I want him to rescue me if I get close to 1000ft from the ground. Then I am practicing flying over a fence. I run and take off. The first time I can't get over the fence but I do get some air-time for a few seconds. The second time I make it over the fence and keep going.

Then I know or am told that God has given everyone a flying pill to use before the end of the world. The world ends in two days, I'm told, and everyone is going to practice flying.

Then I am in bed with a former girlfriend. We are just lying next to each other in a penthouse apartment. A day has passed and this is the day the world is supposed to end. I say 'the world could end any time now.' She says, 'no, God said we had two days so it will end tonight.' I say, 'You never know with God. It could be at 2:00 this afternoon.' Then she turns over and we just lay next to each other.
