Where I'm trying to get to Travis's graduation party
I had an extremely complicated dream that mostly revolved around trying to make it to Travis's graduation party. One time it turned into an episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. All these birds started dying in the air and just dropping to the ground. Then dead sheep and bugs dropped from the sky. A flea bit some supporting character who doesn't exist in the real show, and it sucked ALL his blood from his face, and he turned brown and looked like he was made out of crumbly marble. He was still alive, but he wasn't able to talk or really do anything with his face. And Buffy was acting totally weird and licking things and being no help at all.
Then Dad and Uncle Andy and I were walking through a shop and I realized it was a Buffy-themed shop. I thought, "I should totally get Travis something from here! He's such a Buffy fan!" (Which he's not.)
Then I was driving my dad to Sauk, when I realized I really needed to get to that party. I drove what I thought would be the way there, but I ended up going over a little river in a ferry and ending up in a little amusement park on an island. Mom was there, and Dad said he'd just ride to school with her, so I could make it to my party.
I ran back over the river which really wasn't all that deep, and ran up the stairs, where I gave a little ticket to the blind ticket collector, who was just sprawled out on the stairs leading up to the land. He was blocking half the stairway but was just taking tickets from there. I also talked to a little girl while I was trying to get to my car, but I don't know what happened there.
I drove until I found myself at a steakhouse. I went in and there were a bunch of people I knew, including a guy who I thought was Travis until I looked a little closer. Beth A. and Tyler were both there as well, and they told me I should hang out with them for awhile. But I knew I really needed to get to Travis's party and only had like a half hour left. So I inexplicably sang them a song about how I'd be back in like 15 minutes.
When I went outside, I couldn't find my car. I looked for it everywhere in the parking lot but couldn't find it. Then I realized the crew from inside would probably try to sabotage my car because I was leaving them. I looked and, sure enough, they were siphoning gas out of a red car. I chased them off and then realized they'd gotten the wrong car anyway, my car was right behind that one.
I got in it and started to drive but couldn't figure out how to make it to Travis's from here. Suddenly I was driving using a steering wheel in the back seat of the van, with people smooshed all around me, including Lococo. Joel and Elizabeth were in the seats ahead of me and I was getting very frustrated that I couldn't see over their heads as to where I was going. They kept yelling, "Turn here!" and I'd try to turn but then they'd yell, "NOT THERE!"

Where the guy frees English slaves
I dreamed I was related to this aristocratic guy from the Victorian era who was determined to free all the servant girls of England. He would be invited to fancy dinner parties, then serve everyone poisoned wine, grab the servant girls, run out into the street, and free them. However, it was weirder than that. He'd sit the servant girl at the table when he was serving the poisoned wine. He'd end up putting just a tiny, tiny bit of wine in all the glasses except for the servant girl, who he'd give a full glass of it. The other guests were a little but suspicious but they'd drink their wine anyway. For some reason the servant girl never died from drinking about 10 times more poison than they did.

Where I look for a Dairy Queen
I dreamed I really, really wanted to go to Dairy Queen. Nathan had just gotten his license, so I decided to make him drive me out there. We kept getting lost, though, and wandered around and around. Nathan wasn't a very good driver - at one point he wanted to switch lanes so he stopped dead in the middle of the street, turned the steering wheel all the way to the left and CIRCLED his way around into the right lane. At that point I decided to take over driving.
We pulled into this little gas station we thought had a Dairy Queen, but it turned out it was a Kroger (which shifted identities frequently - first it was a Kroger, then a Target, then a Salvation Army, then a Sam's Club). I wandered all over the store looking for Dairy Queen but couldn't find it anywhere. So I just bought all these bags of candy, including this enormous Ziplock bag that had two candy hearts inside it. I also found a water bottle exactly the same as the cool one I have now that had a little tag on it that said "Regular Glass." I knew this meant that it was the same price as all the rest of the glasses in the store, which was $2. Great deal, considering we paid like $15 for mine.
