Dreams from February 7, 2010:

Even though I had just graduated from college, I had to go back and retake some high school math classes at two different high schools. The first class didn't make much sense - I think we watched Jurassic Park. Then I went to the second math class, at the second school, and the teacher was an old friend of mine. At first I was surprised, but then I remembered that he was a teacher (even though in reality he isn't). Also, I'm a teacher, and one of my students was in this class with me, which was awkward. Then the principle came in and reprimanded the teacher for calling people gay. Finally that class was done, but for some reason I needed to find the main office. This became difficult as I was lost and I kept picking up heavy objects along the way, including several guitars, an amplifier, and a bag full of weights. I had several strange conversations along the way, and I never did find the office.

First I was at a mine where the miners had to hold on to a conveyor belt to get home. Someone threw a kitten on the belt to try to get one of the miners to let go, but someone saved it and gave it to me. I named it something ridiculous. The second one wasn't so lucky. Then I was in a mall and I realized that I had some sunglasses that weren't mine on my face - I had stolen them! I tried to figure out where to bring them back to so that no one would notice they were gone. I couldn't find the store, and at some point the glasses disappeared. Then I'm in a gondola going up hill with a girl I know and a strange older man. I'm explaining to him about a sternum rub and how it is used on comatose patients. He wonders why it hurts so much and I try to explain the blood supply to the area. I don't remember him understanding it. But we talked about playing rec soccer and I remember having massive blisters on my feet.

I'm a 10 y/o boy (specifically modeled after Owen Meany in A Prayer for Owen Meany by John Irving if you've read it) and my friend and I need to get to a particular drug store that is across town. My friend finds this super old cop to give us a ride, saying that if you tap him on the shoulder he will drive, and if you tap him again he will stop. All we have to do is supply directions. We get to the drugstore and my friend waits in the car. I notice the 20-something y/o girl at the counter is cute. I can't find what I need but I take the opportunity to show her how smart I am by explaining the difference between a man and a woman's brain. It boiled down to men being very concrete and women being able to think abstractly, though I remember calling it "stupidly abstract".

I was in a business meeting with a man. Suddenly my throat was scratchy and I had trouble swallowing. I started to cough and a 3-strand, wooden beaded necklace began to come out. I put my hand over my mouth and excused myself to go to the ladies room. There were two other women in there, washing their hands. They didn't seem at all surprised by the fact that I was pulling this very long beaded necklace from my throat. When it was entirely out, I laid it on top of the trash can. The other ladies introduced themselves to me and we all walked out together, on our way back to the meeting. I awoke with a strange feeling in my throat.

I found myself at a sculpting class, and apparently I was supposed to be the teacher. I was trying my best, but it was frustrating because I don't know anything about sculpting. Also, I kept getting distracted because my teeth were falling out. I didn't want anyone to know so I would try to discreetly put them back in, but it kept happening.
