page 11-1234

I really feel like this dream was pretty meaningful.  I was eating lunch somewhere with Becky Anderson and perhaps two Tiffany Elsberry’s.  Kat Ely was there too.  Genny Gerke was, so I sat with her.  I was wearing some kind of weird clothes with shoes that wouldn’t really fit, so I took them off.

As we were leaving lunch, Genny and Tammi O’Rourke (I think) went into this room.  I’m assuming it was in Boone because I didn’t recognize it before.  Or it could have been any college, maybe not C of I..  Anyway, I sat down and the professor was talking about western civilizations.  Our textbook had ancient Greece in it or something. And we were on page 11-1234 (which turned out to be the introductory section.) 

We were talking about global energy consumption and I made the comment like “isn’t it true that if everyone consumed energy the way the U.S. does, we’d need like 3 or 4 Earths to keep up?”  He somehow didn’t completely agree, which was weird.  Then there was a 5 minute break.

During the break, I inquired about the class (Genny said it was a 1-credit class every Wednesday from 7-11 or something) and the professor took me by the arm and said “well, I’m not really a traditional, orthodox professor here…” and dragged me down all these stairs, jumping through auditoriums, etc.  Then I was in this wormhole, and I can’t explain it.  But he basically showed me the mental journey the class was geared toward.  Like the pinnacle of it.  I somehow completed the entire meditational experience right then, when everyone else had to study for the entirety of the class in order to reach it.

When I was back in the seats in class, we were watching clips from people’s mental journeys, kinda as a promo video for the class.  Apparently, during mine, I was an egg bobbing in the water (like a chicken egg), then I was a pretty fish that turned out to be a beta hatching from the egg.  The professor was a huge gorilla, like the size of two cars, except he had a huge huge head and face.  Disproportionately huge.  And he was next to a beach and there was a convertible there parked with two people in it, and he as the gorilla grabbed the people and threw them into the rocky shore/surf. 

Crazy…..
