Dream Police: Built for Three

I was shopping for groceries with a woman and her child in a town at the bottom of a mountain. When we were ready to go, we loaded all the groceries into the pannier bags on my bike. The child sat in a basket on the front, the woman sat on the seat, and I stood on the pedals in front of her. Somehow, I made it all the way up the mountain to their house. They had a large, blue, rancher style house that was up in the top of a huge tree, swaying in the breeze.

Dream Police: Neptune's Bike-Ride

We were on our Friday night bike ride, waiting on a dock in the harbour for more people to arrive. My friend Peter ended up falling into the water, but it wasn't such a big deal considering that that's where we were headed. Everyone put their helmets on and drove their bikes into the water. We didn't use any sort of SCUBA gear or weights, and the water was really clear, but dark. You could see far ahead of yourself under the water, and we were all talking to each other as we rode deeper and deeper.

Later on in the night, I was in a sporting goods store with another girl. I think that we worked there, cause the owners of the store told us that we had ten minutes to put together an outfit that we'd be graded on made up of the clothes that were in the store. There wasn't anything that seemed acceptable, mostly camouflage bucket hats and fur lined vests.

Dream Police: Bicycle Break-down

Last night I rode my bike all the way to my parents house in Sooke. Riding out there, I didn't seem to have any problems, but the way back was more tricky. When I wanted to leave, I started packing up my bags and every time I would put something in them, the item would end up back on the floor or a table, waiting to be packed again. After a while I ended up getting everything I needed in order and set out on my way. I got a few blocks down the road when I had to stop because my tube deflated on the front and the tire was coming off the rim. I blew the tube back up with my mouth and hooked the the tire on to the system of snaps and rings that kept everything together, then I was back on the road. I wasn't taking a the usual route on the highway, but more of an "as the crow flies" sort of direction, straight through the forests and over the mountains. Going through mud and rivers, I kept running into people that I knew and they would talk to me for a long time, so the process of getting back home wasn't a quick one.

Dream Police: Get out, Russell Brand

I was at work and this woman came up to the counter with an infant in one of those cheap strollers you would expect a little kid to push a doll around in. While she's putting everything on the counter in front of me, the baby falls forward out of the stroller and bashes it's head on the floor. The woman started flipping out, trying to blame her baby falling on me somehow, so I just scooped it up into my arms and checked out it's head. It had a little flat spot on the front, but it seemed fine, so I rang her through and she left.

Later on in the night, Russell Brand came in to hear about our ereaders. I went through the whole selling schpeal and convinced him to buy one. I rang him through and took his money, then went into the back room to get his reader, when I realized that we'd been sold out for about a week. I had to come back out and explain the situation to him, and he was so upset, he actually started crying. I think he's totally gross, so seeing him cry was hilarious.

Dream Police: The Chase

For the second night in a row, a few friends and I were being chased by some unknown enemy. From my parents house to the woods, we went all over the place trying to get away. Sometimes on foot, sometimes on different vehicles: trucks, motorbikes, cars. We would get to a house and try to hide somewhere inside, but whoever was chasing us would eventually find out where we were and we would have to move on again.

Dream Police: Wool and Wheels

We were on the Midnight Moonlight Mystery ride, and we ended up riding towards Beacon Hill park, but it was closer to Saanich than it was to Dallas road. When we got down to one of the large ponds, there we piles and piles of biking-jersey style wool sweaters that were soaked. We started rifling through them, but we soon realized that wearing a wet wool sweater while riding your bike would seriously suck, so we left them.

Dream Police: Gelato and Pasta

Last night I was working at a gelato joint. It was extremely busy and I didn't have any other employees to help me, but I was working it out. A lot of the gelato was too thawed out to scoop properly, but somehow it turned out alright once it was in the little cup. One guy and his wife said they were looking for something different, and I suggested something from our 'Savoury' gelato line. We went to the other side of the counter and I showed them what we had. He decided on the Pasta Primavera gelato, but there wasn't enough in the dish to give him a full scoop, so I had to go dig some out of the main freezer. While I was in there, I could see all the other weird flavours that we had: shepherds pie, stew, pea soup, etc.

I also was at work last night, just as we were closing. A guy walked in and I said, "Oh, I'm sorry but we just closed." He replied with, "Ok, have a good night," and shoved a huge candle inside his jacket. I ran behind him and pulled him to the ground by his jacket hood and sat on him until the police came.

Dream Police: Those Crazy Catholics

Last night I was in Sooke, where they were doing some sort of 18th-century, mock court proceedings. Everything was going fine until some people started taking it too seriously after they found this woman guilty. They took her into a huge, gaudy Roman Catholic church and put her up on a table at the front, where they sentenced her to an old-school frontal lobotomy. She was crying and saying, "It's not real! We're just playing around!" and it was freaking me out. Then the bishop started hammering a spike up her nose and she started jerking around like a horror movie. She started screaming, "Baboons! Baboons!" and all sorts of gibberish before she fell sideways off the table.

Dream Police: Raffle Rip-Off

I had a dream the other night that we had a (Christmas?) party at work. Part of the festivities included a raffle. I ended up winning $2000. I freaked out, jumping up and down, happy because I could really use the extra money. I turned to Vanessa and said, "I hope this isn't one of those bullshit dream scenarios where I'm going to wake up and the money will be gone."

Eff.

Dream Police: Benny Ninja

I had a dream last night that Benny Ninja OD'd and I found him in his apartment.
