i had a dream

this is my dream from this morning...
it's kinda long
but stick with me...

standing in grandpa maher's kitchen
with the whole family around...
making drinks...
aunt steph tries nicole's
and likes it...
i try nicole's
and like it...
we decide that since
aunt steph and i both like it
we should probably make a run
to the liquor store...
half of us stay
the other half go to the store...
grandpa is rearranging furniture
and making the space in the kitchen for us
smaller and smaller and smaller
but thinks he's helping...
then we are magically outside...
it feels like the pegg's side yard
but it doesn't look like it...
now i have entered some sort
of hunger games kind of thing
with my family members...
i don't recognize any of them
but they feel like family...
i'm in an alliance of 4(including me)...
i aim my gun across the field...
it's an OLD gun...
reminds me of the guns the snipers
used in band of brothers...
when i look through the scope
i'm not in a field any more
it's new york city
and the guy i'm trying to shoot
is across the street
but i would have to shoot him through
the taxi's window
and the guy keeps dancing in the back
and i can't get a good shot...
i remember thinking
i can't believe they let us loose in
new york city with guns
just for fun...
when i lower the gun
i'm back in the field
and someone else shoots the guy
i was trying to shoot...
then two of the guys with me get shot...
so it's just me
and one other guy left...
we take off for the house...
we end up on the very top floor of the house...
which is a floor that doesn't exist in real life
(but i feel like i've had dreams about it before)
and we are super relaxed
and talking about ordering a pizza
when i hear the dogs start barking...
so i run to the back door
and try to lock it but
two guys who are trying to kill us get in...
they shoot the guy i'm with
and i drop down to the floor
and i'm sitting indian style in the corner...
next to a mop bucket
a mop
a broom
and some old shoes
and these guys are standing behind me
with a gun to my head...
all i can think about is
when they shoot me
how am i going to fall...
i don't want to fall into all this stuff
and have it go everywhere...
they fire the gun once...
nothing happens...
they rub alcohol on a part of my head
and put the gun to it again...
fire again...
nothing happens...
they rub alcohol on another part of my head
and put the gun to it again...
fire again...
nothing happens...
loud noises at the front door
and they leave me to go investigate...
i escape out the back door...
down a series
of wooden logs that are stacked up
and leaned up against the side of the house...
make my way to the front porch...
run like hell down
the driveway and to the left
heading for the woods...
as i come up over a hill
i see a whole group of my cousins
(still don't know who they are)
coming towards me...
i turn back and all of a sudden
i'm back at the front porch
and there's a huge bonfire...
my uncle tim
(i don't have an uncle tim, but that's what i called him)
throws buckets of water on the fire
creating steam and hissing sounds
and he declares the games are over...
uncle tim and i start arguing
about the morality of these games...
he grabs a shovel...
i grab a rake...
and we start sword fighting with them...
then he turns into his wife...
don't know her name
but still - not really anybody i know...
so her and i start sword fighting...
then the handles break
and i start punching her in the face...
and then she turns into neve campbell...
that's right -
neve campbell...
the oldest sister from party of five
at least that's how i know her...
then i woke up...

ummm
yeah
so
that was my dream this morning and the start to my day...

here's hoping you had sweet dreams about
butterflies
unicorns
and rainbows...
