Shrinking space.

Last night, I dreamt I went to Japan.
The government had instituted a new federal level policy that was forcing everything to be made even smaller so they could preserve more of the "natural areas".
I was staying at a hotel and the individual rooms no longer had individual bathrooms or showers. You had to go down to the lobby for both.
The shower stalls were so small I couldn't even fit into them. I kept looking for a larger stall to no avail.
I went to a skiing place and the ski lift was stacked 3 people high.
In the last part of my dream i was back in the US and over at someones house. For some reason i was talking to their kid about my trip to Japan.
Then the kid got a phone call or something and left, so I was just standing there checking out these really small dark marbles he had.
The rest is faded out now.

I win?

Last night was whacked.

I had this dream that I went to the liquor store and bought a lotto ticket for that night's drawing and I won! Sorta, I didn't win the jackpot but I did win the second prize. But when the jackpot is 70+ million dollars the second prize is still a lot of money. If I recall correctly I found out it was several 100 thousand dollars.

I was at home watching the numbers drop, so I went to the liquor store to get my pay out. The guy told me that they couldn't pay out that much, of course, and gave me the info where to go to redeem my ticket. I went back home to tell my wife about it. She was coming down the stairs when I pulled out the ticket and unfolded it. It had a small tear on it and I was being real careful.

Then I woke up!

I rolled over to and told my wife about this dream I had and I tried to remember the winning numbers. I was writing them on a little note pad on my night stand. But some of the numbers were whack, such as 209 was the mega number and 99 or 98 was one of the numbers (which is way out of the range on CA lotto-which only goes to 40 something). The other numbers were fading fast but there was a 28 or 25 and 3 and 5, not really sure.

I then got up and saw my old youth pastor through our living room window. I ran to my door and called out to him and we talked about somethings and I found out that the camp still had one spot available. Then he asked me to come but not as a counselor, but as a camper. Since I'm over a decade to old to be a camper it suddenly hit me that I was still dreaming.

I went back to pack up my stuff and suddenly my house was still under construction. I was talking to one of the contractors, excitedly about going to camp. I told him how I was a protection specc'd paladin and it was unusual to get a tanking position in a raid. (Apparently this was a raiding world of warcraft camp or something. If the last sentences didn't make any sense, then you need a world of warcraft perspective, and trust me it still doesn't make a lot of sense.)

At this point I woke up and again and the numbers were really fried (as noted above). The only certain number is the mega of 209 in my head now.

Mercenary dream

I was in a space ship of some sort. The crew was civilian, but they seemed to be some kind of mercenaries. We were debating what to do because apparently we’d been attacked by some kind of aliens. There was one last person that we were unsure whether she was “infected” by the aliens. There was a very harsh debate as to whether to throw her out of the airlock.
After much arguing it was decided she would have to wait outside the ship until we figured out what to do. Apparently this ship had an “observation deck” that was physically outside the ship, but had a contained air bubble you could breathe. So I was the one who got to escort her out. As I closed the airlock door that lead to the deck, she gave me this sad look.
Shortly after that we landed on a planet. Several of us got out to look for provisions. Apparently not all the crew members were mercenaries like us so we told them they would have to wait behind because it wasn’t safe. We got out armed with heavy machine guns.
Here it’s starting to fade, but I do remember walking around this large building that was surrounded by people just hanging out or partying and all of them were armed to the teeth. Part of our group left to find restrooms and I separated to find, I think, ammunition. We were still afraid the aliens were returning. I recall jumping over a large pipe and that’s about it.

Tyranny

I had this dream last night that I was with a group in the post apocalyptic type era. The building were thrashed and jungle was growing up around them. We had a small group that was constantly on the watch for some kind of creature. It was something that was hard to detect and we used several kinds of detection from visual to seismic to try and keep ahead of it. We also moved around alot.

We were at one building which was apparently where I lived before everything went crazy. There wasn't much there but at least it had toilet paper (and working plumbing somehow...) After looking around for more supplies, we setup the sensors again and posted guards. I was using the bathroom when one of my officers came to me and told me they were getting seismic activity. I ran to the person with the laptop computer and looked at it.

I told them that we needed to move when a shot rang out. We grabbed our people and started running into the forrest toward another building we had that would be more secure. (This one barely had 2 walls and no ceiling.) We ran as the other tribe shot at us.

I rounded a bend and saw my kids were at the other building already. As my group passed me somehow I was able to grab the child of the leader of the other group. As the other group's people started to converge on us I ran up a slide to the second floor of the building and held out the child.

I screamed for them to stop and made a small speech about us needing to work together to fight the evil things. The leader of their group came up and I gave her child back to her. They begrudgingly agreed to work together. I told them something and we started to head back to the first building. Somehow my family and I got separated from the group.

In the forrest a T-rex appeared and started chasing us. We dodged and ducked. We ran and ran. We turned around a bend and found an abandoned shopping mall so we hid in there. The T-rex kept sniffing around. At some point I was holographically projected out of the mall and I could see the T-rex trying to find its way in, but it had morphed to Godzilla proportions and apparently it could talk! It kept taunting me to show myself then resorted to ripping the rooves off of the various shops. I looked around and saw it now had a couple friends watching, too. I slowly backed away and realized I was hiding in plain sight, not actually a holograph.

In an effort to distract the T-rex from my family I took of running. Of course, at that point the T-rex also realized I wasn't a holograph and chased me. I ran back into the forrest. I knew somehow that once the T-rex and his buddies came after me, that my family could escape the mall. I came around a corner and found a path that had been cleared in the forrest. I looked to my side and saw my family was already there. I saw a huge pile of dung in the path and realized it was a walking path for triceratops. The dung pile was big enough to hide in so we jumped in and hoped it would mask our smell. Apparently one of my men was already in the pile hiding so it moved and fell apart, not really hiding all of us. I frantically piled more on and then saw that something was "burrowing" thru the dung. It turned out to be a small triceratops, but it totally revealed our hiding spot.

Next thing I knew the T-rex was bounding right over us then it turned and looked at us so we ran again.

At some point we found some kind of restaurant and ran into it. There were people there and they gave us a funny look. Of course, shortly after it was terror as a raptor buddy flew thru window and started snapping at people. I was unable to dodge it fast enough and it caught me in its jaws. Next thing I knew it and I were in the jaws of the T-rex. Fortunately the body of the raptor was now protecting me from its massive teeth. I grabbed something and actually broke one of the T-rex's teeth and got myself out of its jaws. It munched the raptor and chased me.

I just ran and ran and ran thru the restaurant trying to knock things in its way. I realized that the end of the restaurant was coming so I turned around and ran at the T-rex. At the last possible second I took a flying slide under its belly. It just missed me as it reached under and trying to catch me with its jaws. Fortunately, for me the T-rex lost its balance when it tried to reach under itself while running and it flipped and to its head at full speed and snapped its neck.

Something happened after this but its fuzzy and I only vaguely remember people cheering or something and hugging my wife.
