Where I'm the RA
I dreamed that it was this fall and I was getting all ready to move into my new dorm. It was a co-ed dorm and I was all set to be on the same floor as a bunch of NLDCers, rooming with Jessica Lococo and Elizabeth. I remember Tim McMeen and Ben were across the hall, and there were other NLDCers scattered around the place. But when I got there, someone told me that I was the new RA, and had to sleep in a different room. Turns out the "room" I got to sleep in was really a lounge/kitchen area, and I had to sleep underneath a pool table. I kept saying I didn't want the room (or the responsibility) and tried to sneak back to the NLDC corner, but they told me if I did that I'd get kicked out of.

With theater gangs and the runaway little girl
I dreamed that there were these two rival gangs in the theater department at HU. If you EVER tried to do the same scene or monologue as someone in the other gang in the same year, you would probably be killed. One girl was the other group was doing a scene from Company that apparently involved her running up and down the halls crying hysterically. Well, I was really sad that day for some reason, so I ran up and down the halls of the MCA crying hysterically. The girl told me that I would be killed for this.
This stressed me out quite a lot (as you can imagine) so I decided to go to class to calm down. I couldn't find my backpack though, and looked all over the MCA. I ended up accidentally stepping on a pile of newspapers, and someone screamed. Turns out it was Bryce, who was napping there. I apologized and kept looking.
At some point I was going to see this production of Company in the studio theater here, and my parents were here, too. As soon as the lights went up, my parents BOLTED out a side door. I was embarrassed at first but then I realized that a little African-American girl in a frilly white tutu (about 10 years old or so) had run out the side door first and was trying to throw herself over a railing to the cement floor below. My parents grabbed her and brought her back to her seat, but she just kept running out there. For some reason we all in the audience thought this was the funniest thing in the entire world, and I laughed until I cried. When I woke up, I was still laughing.

Where I visit NLDC for an hour and wait forever for Dad
I dreamed NLDC was really only 5 hours away, so one day I decided to visit them, but it was just going to be for a couple hours. I'd leave at like 7 so I'd get there around noon, but then Mom wanted me back by suppertime so she told me I needed to leave by one. I tried to negotiate with her to let me stay and have supper with them and THEN drive back, but she really wanted me to leave between 1-2 in the afternoon.
There was also something really ominous with an ice cream shop... I think I was waiting there for Dad to pick me up and take me home from something. He was only about 20 minutes away so I waited for a really long time and finally, I called Mom to ask if he had left yet because he was two hours late. She said yeah, he left about two hours ago, but she didn't seem concerned at all that he hadn't made it there yet. I went to go get some food from the ice cream shop, but they were closed. The two employees were still there, though, and started looking for the copy of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy that they kept behind the desk. They told me that the best way to calm me down would be to read that to me. (It was the Douglas Adams book, not the book mentioned IN the Douglas Adams book. The second one would have been more helpful, given the "DON'T PANIC" on the cover.)
