Where B'qi and Sarah M and I go to a boring youth lock-in
I dreamed there was this huge lock-in at the church. B'qi and her sister Sarah were both there, but I kinda left Sarah on her own. It was the most boring thing in the entire world. They had set up rows and rows of computers in the gym and just had people play on those. In Paula's office there were more computers and Lauren S. was teaching people how to do weird stuff on them. At one point B'qi and I went into a room with the computers and I tried so hard to find one that was free but for some reason B'qi and I couldn't get a computer next to each other. These Indian dudes kept taking the computers right next to B'qi.
At one point Sarah came up to me and asked how long she had to stay there. I told her I thought it ended at 12, but then noticed to my dismay that it was only 9:00 instead of 11:45 like I thought. B'qi and I walked off to see if Mom, who was there with us, drove on her own or rode in the church van, cuz if she drove on her own we could get a ride back earlier. While we were trying to find her, however, all we found were these people playing a video game and this very distressing image of a mother carrying around her daughter who had no legs. She didn't even have real prosthetic legs, just these weird metal things. This woman sat down next to my mother and said something about Elphaba.
There was another link to Elphaba, too. I had been playing "Wicked" on the youth group's jukebox but Sarah J. just gave me this weird look and switched it to something else and then I felt horribly bad for playing non-Christian stuff at a Christian retreat.
There was also a part where B'qi and I wandered out behind the church and I was discussing some lyrics I'd just discovered in POTO and how stupid they were. It was a reprise of "Angel of Music" sung between Christine and Meg at the very end, and one of Meg's lyrics was something like, "Christine, you're talking in riddles, now come look at the loons" which is indeed a pretty stupid lyric.
And there were these guys who were trying to start a gang or something and get everybody fighting, so they were prank calling some guys to try to get them to come over and attack their houses, except it wasn't really a prank call, they just called them up and insulted them. The telephones they used looked like old video arcade games. The guys they were insulted kept yelling, "YOU WERE THE ONE WHO LET OUR PIGS OUT!" and once when they said it, a bunch of pigs came jumping out of the arcade games into the gym and started running around. Weird.
Later on in the evening, I was standing around listening to the music (which was still "Wicked", actually), and Canaan came up and asked me if I wanted to dance. I'm thinking, "Erm, it's a youth group retreat. It's probably against the youth group rules." So I said, "I'm not allowed to, and I don't know how," and then laughed because apparently that was a line from a movie. Canaan said, "Oh, it's okay, no one'll notice, and I'll teach you." So he took out this PAMPHLET of how to do all these different ballroom dances and started going over it with me in detail, except he wasn't content to stick with one dance, oh, no, he was like, "Okay, we'll do one step of the waltz, then we'll do one step of the tango, then the polka, and then the fiddle-dee-dee," and I was just getting very confused, as I had no idea what was going on. I kept thinking, "Can't I just learn one dance and then practice that one for a while?"

Where Manda and I tell each other secrets
I dreamed I had a slumber party and invited Manda, Abbie, and Lisa. At one point Lisa left to go talk to Mom, so she instructed Manda and I to tell each other a secret. I thought and thought of one to tell her and finally I thought of one: "I have a secret that I told B'qi." Her secret was even lamer, it was a quote from Ella Enchanted (except it wasn't really, it was something like, "I can't believe she's wearing that!"). I said something about Abbie should see the movie, and she said, "No, the real question is, 'When will you read the book?'" Apparently she was simply making fun of the fact that I liked the book but not the movie and she hadn't seen either one, but that statement it confused me a lot.

Where B'qi puts a road sign in my room
I dreamed B'qi put a giant orange roadblock sign in my room. The sign read "TAMMIX". Then as B'qi was going to leave, she turned to me and said, "Warning! It grows!" and sprang out of my room, leaving me to wonder why she put a growing road sign in my room.

Where I visit B'qi and see the American Idol finale
I dreamed I went up to visit B'qi for a week, and she had all sorts of things planned for my visit there. Her room didn't look at all like her room, though, it looked like the TV room of our big house in North Dakota. She wanted to see the URLSCDV4, so I began looking through my CD cases for it, only to find that I'd probably left it at home, which made me very angry.
At one point as part of our tour of St. Paul, we went to St. Louis (?!?!) where my dad picked us up next to this this rickety old staircase in a blue van. (Um, *Dad* was in the van. Not the staircase.) "Sorry I'm so late," he said. "It took me a long time to find St. Louis. Your directions aren't very good."
Then B'qi and I went to the American Idol finale, which was NOTHING like the real thing. There were four contestants left - Carrie (from the actual show), Kelly Clarkson, a guy named Josiah who couldn't sing very well, and a guy named Nick who could. They were in our drama room and they stood in all four corners of the room and people would rush over to them, indicating that they were voting for them. B'qi sort of disappeared at this point, and I ran over to Nick because I was going to vote for him. But then I noticed Josiah had about thirteen people around him, and the only other one who was even close to winning was Kelly, and Carrie was yelling, "GO TO KELLY SO JOSIAH DOESN'T WIN!" So I did, and Kelly won, except then they said Carrie really did becasue she was so nice for wanting Kelly to win.
Then we were in a post office, and Mom was ranting and raving because she had mailed four packages out to Uncle Andy and they had all gotten stolen in the post office. I asked her what had happened, and was treated to a flashback, except it was really happening. Mom placed her four packages in what looked like little phone booths, and then stepped away, and Kathrine G. from church walked right up to them and took them away. I followed her over to a wall where she was talking to her parents, took her aside, and informed her that those packages were OURS. She said, yes, she knew, and she was going to give them back, but she had to pick up SOMETHING from the post office to make it look like she had a reason for being here. "Can't let my parents know I only came here for the American Idol finale," she said with a laugh.
Then I'm on a street corner talking with Carrie and Kelly and B'qi, and Carrie starts, like, stripping or something. And then Josiah and Darren come by in a car, and Darren yells out the window something like, "And you couldn't do anything about it - I WON!" which makes me crack up laughing because not only did Darren not win, he wasn't even IN the competition.
And then I'm on the other side of the street and cars are passing in front of me, blocking my view of the side of the street that B'qi's on. When the last car passes by me, I see that everyone's gone. "Everyone's leaving!" I sob. "So are we!" says B'qi, who appears next to a purple minivan. "Come on, Hannah, we're leaving!"
And then I woke up.

Where B'qi didn't want to talk to me
I dreamed I was going to visit B'qi, but the visit was very... not satisfactory. I remember being very disappointed in B'qi for some reason. Like she only wanted to do weird things, and she didn't want to ever actually talk to me.
However, I dreamed that on the way up to B'qi's house, my mom and I stopped at this store and there - surprise! - was B'qi's van. B'qi waved to me and pointed toward her mom, who was standing on this hill overlooking a mall and gazing wistfully toward it. When B'qi told her mom I was there, her mom said, "Oh, well, then, she can just ride along with us!"

Where ApologetiX was at B'qi's school
I dreamed that Mom and all my siblings except Nathan had mysteriously vanished, so Dad, Nathan, and I were moving to this new house. On our way we stopped off at B'qi's church/school where there was an ApologetiX concert (why does my mind keep linking B'qi with ApologetiX?) and for some reason we didn't want the band so see us so we kept sneaking around.
Then I walked into one of B'qi's classes and wandered around looking for her, and suddenly she was in the back of the room walking toward me with her arms outstretched to give me a hug. And then I called her "Anuncio".

Where I debate whether to hide with B'qi or Sara
I dreamed Manda and I were being chased by bad guys, and I knew we had to escape. So I suggested we run away either to Sara or to B'qi's house. Then B'qi's mom pulled up in front of Manda's house in their van and we both jumped in, except there was a huge tree in there and we were having trouble fitting in. Then I thought maybe we'd be safer at Sara's house because I hadn't talked to her in awhile and the killers would have more trouble finding links between me and Sara.

Where B'qi sneaks out here to visit Tyler
I dreamed B'qi had snuck down to Illinois to visit Tyler. (?) Except she only ever referred to him as "actor."

Where pregnant women have to go in the tiny boat and I visit Anna
I dreamed my whole family was on a journey, and we came to this little pond that had a tiny bridge over it. Except there was a guy who said, "If you're a pregnant woman, you have to go over and stand in that line," where there was a huge group of women all waiting for this teeny tiny little boat that... come on, NO ONE could fit into, let alone a pregnant woman. So my mom went over there (apparently she was pregnant). And we all crossed the bridge and kept looking back, not sure if we were really ever going to see her again.
Next thing I know, I'm going to visit Anna at her school. I have apparently emailed something to her which I need, so I walk into her physics classroom and use a computer on the wall to check her email so I can find the thing I need. Students start filing into the class and soon her physics professor walks in. (He looks a lot like B'qi's youth pastor, though.) He turns to me and says, "Welcome to physics class," and I try to explain, "Oh, no, no, I- erm... I'm just visiting Anna. She doesn't even know that I'm here." And I leave.
Then... erm... something about Anna's really staying in a hotel? And I buy rock candy for her?

Where Mom says "TRAMPLE THEM!"
I dreamed that there was a white egg sack hanging above my head. Elizabeth kept poking it and Mom kept telling her not to, but she KEPT poking it and finally she grabbed it out of the air (how she reached up that high, I'm not sure) and started running around with it. Mom got really ticked and told her to drop it, so she did, and it opened and all these tiny spiders came running out. Mom started screaming, "TRAMPLE THEM! TRAMPLE THEM!" so we started to trample them but suddenly realized they weren't spiders at all, but little babies, and one of them decided to propose to B'qi who was...erm, suddenly there.

Where B'qi takes my advice on how to get a guy
I dreamed that B'qi was talking to me online and randomly said, "Hanu! I know how to GET MY GUY!" I was a bit taken aback and wasn't sure WHAT she was talking about, so I was like, "erm... what does that mean?" and she was like, "I'm taking your advice!" And my first thought is, "Uh, hello, I NEVER gave you advice on how to get a guy..." But she immediately continues: "I'll go shopping with him, and call him LURTH!"

Where B'qi's church does the weird graphing thing
I had a dream that Mom and I went to B'qi's church but I kept meeting people from Sara's church there (lol... how odd). Then at the very end, the pastor was like, "Now... LET'S GRAPH!" and on the wall there were these lights that flashed on and off. B'qi explained that the yellow lights meant someone was laughing over there, the red lights meant someone was laughing, the gray meant someone was lonely, and the green meant someone was feeling friendly. "That's what I'm looking for," said Mom. "Great big pools of friendliness! Because then I can approach them and get to know them and maybe even make a new friend." Erm. All right.

Where I save the youth group from a buffalo
I dreamed the youth group was going to South Dakota again in the van. PJ was really irritated because he kept driving into ditches (like DEEP ditches). So when it happened again, he climbed out and apparently something was wrong with the van and he couldn't fix it. He and some other adult leader (not sure who exactly it was) were kneeling a few feet from the van, so I went up to him and he was really really ticked because his shirt was covered with oil and he didn't have any shirt to change into. (Rather intelligent of him coming on a week-long trip without extra clothes. *Rolls eyes*) I told him I had a large-ish shirt that might fight him and he just swatted me away and stomped off to the next town, I think it was to get tools to fix the van.
So we were all sitting in the van (and, might I add, B'qi was there too) and someone screamed, "LOOK! A BUFFALO!" and sure enough, out running along the highway was a buffalo. The van was perched precariously right on the edge of a drop (not a very large one, but still), so I kept telling them not to make any noise or the buffalo would come over here and push us over. I knew that some of them would scream, but I kept hoping they'd listen to me and not scream. However, the buffalo got closer and closer and finally just put his head in the window. I was shocked and then remembered we didn't have any glass in that window for some reason.
Then the buffalo butted us with its head and we rolled over until the van was upside down. It didn't have a ceiling at this point, and so the teens were all standing on the ground with the van floor over their heads. They all started screaming, and I somehow got out and yelled at the buffalo to "go home." Then I pushed until I got the van upright again. It rolled over and took all the teens with it so that we were back in our normal stance.
