This is what happens when I pass out on the couch with music on after watching reruns of Glee

I was on a beach of sorts but it wound around the outside of a cylindrical building. I was on a plastic chaise lounge chair when I saw the actress who plays Brittany on Glee and a girl I went to college with but wasn't exactly friends with, Heather. Heather walked right by me and I pretended to be asleep - she went over to talk with Brittany*. Then they turned to me and I asked Brittany if I could see the photo album she'd been looking at. It was stuffed full of not just photos but little trinkets and other things to remember what the pictures were of. She said I could and handed it over to me - Heather recognized me then and said hello - and I rolled over onto my stomach and began flipping through all the pictures and memorabilia in the book, trying to keep everything in its proper order. I called over to Brittany an apology because I thought I might have been putting things back in the wrong order, but she told me not to worry about it.

Then, I was on the deck of an apartment building that had a view of Brittany's apartment but she couldn't see me. In the reflection of the glass siding, I could see her and Heather talking but I saw a menacing-looking old man - he was maybe about 65-year-old, although he could have been younger and just haggard-looking - approaching them. I wanted to call out to them to warn them, but they turned around and saw him then embraced him - I guessed that he was family.

I proceeded to think about how pretty both of them are and got excited, so I went home to have some "alone time" but found Amy waiting for me, asking me where my luggage for our trip to Israel was. I told her I had to pack my Nintendo 64 and all the games, then I would be ready. We were in some sort of student union type of building then, walking around an enormous entertainment system that had three LCD TVs mounted together around a column, with all sorts of video games attached to them. I had to untangle the wires of my N64 console, the controllers, and grab all the games. We noticed that the concert going on in another area of the building - Chicago - was just ending so I told Amy to meet me outside to avoid the rush of people, that I would be right out. She left and I scrambled to find all my cartridges. I finally stuffed all the games into a tray holder and was about to leave when I realized that I needed the AC cord and the AV cord, so I had to backtrack to pull those out of one of the TVs. Then I realized I was holding a yellow controller, not a red one, so I had to find my red one in addition to the gray SuperPad64 controller (those are the types I have in real life). FINALLY I had everything of mine and as I turned to leave, I bumped into the older man from Brittany's porch. He freaked the heck out of me and I sprinted outside, past W.G. from work and his girlfriend, who were dancing to Chicago's finale of "25 or 6 to 4**." As soon as the concert finished, there was a mad rush to the front and Kings of Leon's "Sex on Fire" came on over the speakers as the lights were turned up.

I got outside and down the front steps of the building after what seemed like forever and the crowd had very quickly dispersed but Amy was nowhere in sight. I saw Melissa, though, and jogged over to her. She was talking to an extremely cute guy who I know I've met before in real life but can't place him - and also didn't know he knew Melissa - and I asked her to dial Amy's number from my Blackberry because I just couldn't hit the right keys to do so with all my N64 gear in my hands. I was looking for Amy in her mom's old green car that she had in real life, but there was a carpool line so as I waited, I talked to the cute guy. Melissa had walked a few feet away to talk to some other mutual friend of ours, and she was still calling Amy from my Blackberry but not getting any answer.

*The actress' name in real life is Heather Morris, so maybe that's why a Heather that I know appeared? Also, I now can't stop watching Heather Morris perform "Single Ladies" w/Beyonce, whom she danced with for a while before she got the acting gig on Glee.

**I had a playlist of cover songs*** on my iTunes when I fell asleep, and I immediately turned it off once I woke up so that I could type this dream as much as possible as quickly as possible before it disappeared from memory. Three songs ago, was Local H's cover of "25 or 6 to 4." The link is to the live version, but I have the studio version, just couldn't find a link to it online.

***It's kind of cool to fall asleep with a playlist on because I can calculate just how long I was asleep, using a time calculator. I was asleep for a total of 1:14:54, but "25 or 6 to 4" appeared in my dream after 1:01:22. So, I was asleep for another 0:13:32 after Local H penetrated my dream, until I woke up to the Scissor Sisters' cover of "Comfortably Numb," which is two songs after Local H; I only vaguely recall hearing that song though because I didn't fully awaken until Hall and Oates' version of "You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling." That's the song I paused to type this dream.

Location-based dreams and lots of morphing

It was opening day of next season and I was getting read to eat the media room meal. The arena looked nothing like it does it real life - it looked like we were in an indoor movie set that looked like a facade of an old town from a Western, but everyone was wearing modern clothing. I found two full pizza boxes that obviously were left over from the last game of last season, but I took them to my office and started to eat them anyway because they were still good (somehow). My intern from last season appeared just as I was heading down the escalator to go to the media room. I had credentials in my hand that had to be used - they were from last season but I handed them to my intern and told her to cross out the year listed on them and write this year on them with a Sharpie instead so that they would be valid for our media members. My intern was wearing black sneakers similar to Converse, but they weren't, and jeans and a black shirt - almost too casual for opening day, but I needed the help in getting everything prepared so I told myself I'd talk to her about the dress code later.She asked me if that pizza I'd been eating had been any good and I told her that it was and that she was welcome to go up to my office and eat some after she finished doing what needed to be done for the game.

The dream morphed into an after-party which was held in an apartment that had the same exact floor plan as my maternal grandmother's old apartment, but it had modern furniture in it. All of my friends from here were at the party, drinking and having a great time. Someone was taking pictures and I know I was in a lot of them, making a fool of myself. I started talking to the younger brother of one of my friends, and it turned out that he was really cool and I liked him. He gave me his phone number and then wrote on my Facebook wall - as I was standing there - that we should hang out. I promised I'd call.

A.A., a girl I grew up playing soccer with in real life, showed up and it turned out that we'd been partying in her house. It was 5 a.m. and my dad had come to take me back to the Western facade to see the train that was supposed to roll in soon. I tried to gather up my things - apparently I'd been living there and was moving out to go w/my dad - but I had to do so quietly because A.A. and her whole family were asleep in the bedroom in the back. I had some clothes in that room so I went back there to gather them and I accidentally threw open the door so it slammed against the wall and woke up A.A's older brother, her mom and her dad. I apologized and told them I was just getting my things and they told me it was ok. As I was reaching towards the pull-out bed that apparently was mine, my ring fell off my left pointer finger and I had to crawl under the bed to retrieve it. Finally, I got all of my things and went to the front of the apartment to use the restroom, when I realized that there were a few stragglers from the party still there. I told them to go home and I called them a cab; one of them was a tall blonde girl that kind of looked like Katherine Heigl, but it wasn't really her. Then, I saw my dad. He was trying to hurry me along so I went into the bathroom to pee before we left, and he followed me in. I groaned and told him to get out but he was telling me some story and conceded to just close his eyes as I finished. I knew that I couldn't convince him to actually leave so I took care of business as quickly as I could and rushed us out of the bathroom. On our way out the door I stopped at my dresser which had somehow gotten in to the apartment where my grandmother used to have a mantle with photos of us grandkids in real life, and I grabbed a few more rings to wear including a really heavy thick silver one that looked like a Championship ring but I couldn't make out what type of Championship it was from. We finally were leaving through the sliding door and A.A. yawned and said "good night."

Wish I could remember more than cat escapades

There was a LOT more to this than I can remember now, but I was in some sort of apartment complex but there was a subway stop at the front of it. The sun was just setting and I was trying to catch the train to go see someone. I was leaving my apartment (which looked nothing like my apartment does in real life) when Cash ran out the front door (which she never even contemplates in real life). I sprinted after her, leaving my friend - who had just appeared in the front hallway of the apartment - to shut the door behind me so my other two cats didn't follow suit. Somehow, I caught up to Cash immediately and snagged her by the scruff of her neck and held her to my chest. I talked to her, telling her that she shouldn't do that because something bad could happen, as I walked back to my apartment. I took her inside, then grabbed my bag and locked the apartment door behind me.

There was a lot of grass and open space in between the apartment buildings inside the complex; it felt more like fancy college dorms than apartments. I think Fla.-J may have been there somewhere along the way, as I was walking to the train station, perhaps.

This dream left me feeling a little unsettled although since I can't remember any more from it, I'm not sure why.

Combo of things from my past and things from the present

I was in a camp bunk with a bunch of people and the adjacent bunk had the boys who were staying with us. The bunks were attached on the ends, like two rectangles with the short ends connected. I went over to the boys bunk to introduce myself and there were two guys there that I knew but can't remember now who they were; I think they were boys from high school. When I cam back over to the girls side, more girls had arrived but one of my friends was talking to a business contact of mine that I know in real life. I turned to a girl I had already befriended and asked why that girl was talking to my contact and she told me that that girl was interested in jobs, too, so she wanted to reach out. I rolled my eyes and went to go make my bed, thinking that my contact wouldn't have anything to do with any other girls.

Then, the bunk started to flood and techno music poured over us from the boys bunk. I went to the rent-a-car nearby and went to look for jobs in town. I reached into my purse and found several prescriptions for different people from the girls and boys sides of the bunks - they'd asked me to get them filled while I was in town - and en route to the CVS, I saw where A.V. lived. He was one of the guys who had given me a prescription to fill, but when I saw he lived literally around the corner from the pharmacy, I was annoyed because he could have done it on his own.

I walked into the CVS, which was designed more like a bank, and sat down with a woman at a desk, as if I was opening an account. It took her a little bit to look up A.V.'s prescription, scan my ID card (with one of those old credit card copiers that were used before the swipers used now became ubiquitous) verify that I was allowed to get it filled for him, etc. so as she was doing that on her computer, I looked around at all the other people in the bank-like CVS. I saw Cory Monteith and I went over to say hi to him, but I called him Finn; I handed him his prescription and told him that since he was here, he could fill it himself. He thanked me for bringing it to him then continued his conversation with his bank teller at her desk. I went back to the woman who was helping me and a line had formed of other people trying to fill prescriptions because they'd thought she was available since I had walked away momentarily. I squeezed my way past all of the people and sat down at the teller's desk, and a bunch of people groaned and mumbled that I'd cut in line, so I turned around and glared at them and informed them that she currently was working on my prescriptions so they should back off until I was done being helped.

All of a sudden I was back in the bunk and a few of my friends from SA were there, but the water in the bunks from the flood hadn't gone down. It had stopped filling up but now there just was standing water. My cat, Cash, was there, as were a few other cats that were not mine, but they all played nicely together. I went back to my business contact, who had just wrapped up the conversation with one of the other girls from before and she assured me that I was her first priority and she'd continue to help me find a job.

Gifts and harassment

I was shopping w/Jenny and we had to find these particular stores that were on the second floor of the mall. We passed a little resting area that had two steps going down to it and comfy-looking couches/chairs that were decorated like Tron. Once we got upstairs, the mall morphed to being outside - we were in a little area that had boutiques and other shops, kind of in a downtown type of setting. I mentioned that I'd dropped off a gift for the woman who owned the shop on the corner but never heard back from her, then I realized I'd forgotten to include a card so she probably didn't know who the gift was from. We continued walking up the sidewalk and we passed a store that had an open store front, more like a market. Jenny's husband was there (she doesn't have a husband in real life) along with two other guys we were friends with - they called out to us but we told them we'd be back to say hi because we still had more shopping to do.

I was at a football training camp for work and Amy was with me It was in a new town and there were many men there who tried to force themselves on us. Amy and I tried to watch football practice - the team was using a football gun so the receivers could practice long runs, but we saw an old man staring at us and decided to leave. We walked behind the end zone so as not to disturb camp; the area behind the end zone was on a muddy hill so we had to look up to see the field. When we looked up, there was a soccer net and a girls team was playing - they were doing penalty kicks and I realized I was talking loudly to Amy as one of the players was kicking so I felt kind of bad.

As we were walking back towards a building, where we thought we'd find campus security, the old man that had been staring at us had followed behind us and said nasty things like, "I want to put my p in your v" and "You're so pretty, why don't you want to kiss me?" I grabbed Amy's hand and we ran away to find security. All of a sudden we were on the field which looked like the football field at the high school in my hometown, but I knew we were somewhere closer to where I went to college. This female cop came up to us because she was assigned to keeping an eye on the men in this area because they were known for being overly inappropriate. Amy and I were grateful for her presence, and she drove us home. We were getting ready for bed when one of the men from the town came up to us (for some reason, we just had a mattress in an open area to sleep in, so it was accessible) and started harassing us. I threatened to call the cops and he left. We kept getting ready for bed and another man came up to us, but he wasn't deterred by my threats. I slapped him hard though and he ran away. The third man that came up to us was the older man from earlier in the dream, and I had to strangle him practically to death before he gave up - he said I wasn't worth all the effort. Then, lastly, a woman came to attack us. She was very thin with thin, short, dark, curly hair, and she was wearing a purple skirt that went to her calves. I choked her, too, because she was going after Amy, and I threw her to the ground. We both thought we were done with her but she got up holding a pair of sharp scissors. I was much stronger than her, so I wrestled her to the ground and grabbed the scissors, threatening to stab her in the face. She didn't believe me so I kicked her in the head with my left foot while I kept my right knee on her chest to keep her from going anywhere. I yelled over to Amy to call the female cop but we couldn't remember her name at first. It took a few minutes but then we remembered it was Lisa Gomez.

Three-part weirdness

Conan and Andy were talking to my parents about movies and how they were involved in doing some of them that will come out soon. Conan imitated several characters - Ace Ventura, the Terminator - to illustrate that he could play any role. My parents were buttering them up with compliments etc. in the hopes of them finding me a job on one of their upcoming films.

I was with two friends, both were guys, and we were going to see Avatar 2. We ran into Anna in line and she was with one friend, a girl. After we bought the tickets, we went inside the lobby and I got a medium popcorn and a medium Barq's root beer. Anna came with me to the concessions line but didn't get anything. We walked into the theater and found our respective people; turns out, Anna and he friend were sitting right behind me and my two friends. My guys alternately went to the men's room before the movie started while I saved our seats.

There is a new show on TV that incorporates White Elephant - you're given a set of objects and you and your teammate have to collect as many other objects from other locations and other teams as possible. In the preview of the show, two brothers were talking, the older one was asking the younger one for help w/a particular object in exchange for doing his chores after the show is over. AS the younger one pretends to listen to this offer, his teammate reaches in with a pair of long tongs and grabs the Easter egg sitting at the older brother's feet - the object that the younger brother and his teammate need to advance to the next level.
