Sleep Creeps and Dream's Seep . . . The mind begins to crawl. Who's to say where it may wander, when it sprawls.

Several dreams, somewhat related.
First: Steelers Hotel
A dream where I am inside some weird hotel or hotel room attempting to pack a very very small suitcase for a roadtrip. It might be the size of a cigar box. Now the odd thing, I walk out of the room, it turns out we are in some sort of huge stadium/hotel. It is circular, and along the wall are the rooms, then stadium bleachers surrounding the center, At some point I come up from a floor below and enter into the center of this large room, there is a huge crowd who is pretty quiot. As i'm walking past the bleachers towards my room, I realize this is a Steelers function and Big Ben is in the one luxury box of the bleachers right up front, as I'm walking by I turn around and start yelling "Big Ben yeaaaa!" and the whole crowd joins in and Ben see's me and starts laughing. So i get back to my room, my mom is there and she is pissed or something, But I continue to try to pack my uber-small suitcase.
Second: Monroeville Masons Roadtrip.
So Art comes to my house in Level Green, I get my small suitcase and get in his car. We drive into Monroeville to get some last minute supplies for a roadtrip we are going to take to Nashville TN. We go to some store near the mall, inside
the store seems like a Dicks or WallMart. We leave the store with a girl who works there, now I am driving, we all get into my car and start driving around Monroeville. At some point I piss off some woman driver and she starts flipping out and having serious roadrage. Eventualy we drop the girl off back at the store, before she gets out we are all just hanging out in the car and I grab the steering wheel and turn it as we are parked, the wheel breaks, I tear a segment of it right off and it crumbles in my hand and all over the car, it was apparently made of fiber board. The girl exits and Art and I start driving again. We head down 22 past the old movie theatre and that shopping center across the street. Instead of a shopping center however there is one huge store that look's like a staples only it is a huge Masonic center store. We don't stop at it but we look at it as we drive past because apparently it is new. At some point we decide it would be cool to dress up in our Mason's suit's for the roadtrip.
Third: Family shopping, bamboo fight.
Now it seems that I am back in that department store only this time with my Mom and brother. We are shopping around and nothing very interesting happens, we leave the store and get into my Mom's car and leave, we got to what appears to be Boyce park ski slopes, only in the summer they are some type of geological park that reminds me of a national park or something out of Jurrassic Park. We are in a SUV and drive alongside a valley which ski slopes run down into, it is summer however so there's no snow. We reach a point where the SUV can't go any further and I get out of the car. Out of nowhere a kid come running at me with a huge piece of bamboo and tried to attack me. I jump back and dodge him, he throws the bamboo at me and I pull another huge piece out from the ground and block myself. We trade blows with bamboo, each of us successfully dodging the others attacks. I keep getting backed up and eventually find myself in a corner of the rocky cliff edge, only it seems to be an indoor/outdoor weapon store. There is a small glass case with ninja stars and gun's in it, and once I am in this store section I tell my attacker that we should stop because they must have camera's around to gaurd the weapons in the case. He stops, and I wake up briefly, when I go back to sleep I dream about a map of the Lord of the Rings and the mountainous terrain of Middle Earth.
Fourth: Steelers movie with girls.
I get to the old movie theatre on 22 with Jillian, we are going to see a Steelers documentary. We enter the theatre and the seating is like classroom desks. I sit down, Jillian behind me. There is a middle aged couple on my left talking Steelers talk, the lady actually know's about football and her husband commends her for it. The start talking to me and I turn around to talk to Jillian to avoid them. I realize I nearly forgot about Jillian being there, and now she is diagonly behind me. Way behind her in the back corner is Marie or some other of her friends, and she gets up and moves back to talk to her. I notice that also behind me is Alicia McGhee, she see's me and we are excited to see each other so randomly, we hug and she sits behind me. The movie starts, there is a swimming pool and women trainers there helping women track runners train in the water. Troy Palomauo is there overseeing everything, apparently he is the head of all physical therapy.

First dream happened the second I fell asleep. Before I went to bed Scott and I were in my room playin realms and hangin out, I had to go to bed so he went downstairs. I laid down and apparently the exact second I fell asleep I began dreaming.
I was at Level Green Elementary, in the back/side parking lot, next to the old back doors. It was night, and I got the feeling it was very late at night and Scott and I had snuck out of our houses to go hang out there. Scott was, however, not with me, I had the assumption he was down the by Concession stand and I was waiting for him to come meet me. As I waiting, I started getting paranoid of cops coming up, and sure enough, I began to see lights cruising down the hill by Mark's house. I turned and began to run. I had my skateboard in my hand but decided not to ride it for fear of falling and getting caught. I ran back towards the Fords house. I ran in that weird dream way, but the fear of the cops actually seemed to help, unlike most dreams where its hard to move when you need or want to. So I ran towards that little hill at the back of the school and Ford's yard, just in time I slid down the slope. I slid farther than I thought possible, and noticed that I kept sliding until I forcefully stopped myself with my feet. I thought I might have slid too far, into the sight of the police car which I feared was just above the hill at the back of the lot. As soon as I realized this however, I woke up immediately and realized I had just fallen asleep a minute ago. I check the clock in my room and found this to be the case.
Later on....
A dream about being inside a school. I was with Tom from Blockbuster and several cute girls. This dream is vauge now, but vivid at the time. There was a pool, a spiral staircase, and my motivation throughout the dream was about pursueing those cute girls. The school reminded me a lot of the Cathedral of Learning or something like Hogwarts from Harry Potter. There were large glass window's and a nice field with tree's in the front yard.
Later on...
A dream about slip and slid that turned into a roadtrip.
I was in swissvale, at my grandma's house. her front yard was a grass hill instead of that ivy and brick stuff. I laid a slip and slid down the hill, it was extra long and stretched back into her yard quite a bit. I called Jeff and told him to come up, he shows up with Alex and Art and I put a hose on the slip and slid and go down. The only problem is at the bottom is just the sidewalk and the road, but I am able to stop myself before crashing into them. Then I have the idea to go around back, in the backyard, where that little alley go's back after the turn for those apartments there was an even bigger hill on the left that went up into grandma's back yard. I didn't even go down that one, we just talked about it.
-----Somehow this turns into a roadtrip with Ron, Jeff, Art, and a couple other people. We plan on going to South Carolina, and get in the car and drive. We stop at a hotel. There are girl's in our room and they are hot. We are playing cards or something, and one of them show's me her chest. The room is a big lavish old style room, real nice all around. Next thing I remember I find a treasure chest with picture's of crazy lesbian sex parties that the girls have had there. I am intrigued to say the least. I try to pursue sex with some girl, it gets very vauge. I was trying to hard to make the girls get naked or whatever and lost control of the dream so it fuzzed out. At the end of the dream I find another treasure chest, which in the dream I recall being the third, though i don't remember what the 2nd was. This chest is different from the other's, very plain and unimpressive, all these chests were small, the size of a lunchbox. Next thing I know we are in an arcade and Ron is telling me that South Carolina is too far, and that we are only at the south of PA. I try telling him there's nothing here but slot machines, but he insist's there are table games somewhere and that they havn't brought them out yet because its still to early in the night.
----- Somehow I find myself coming home to Penn Trafford. There are older women with us, the kind greg would hit on at a bar. I am taking this one lady home, she lives near Andy McRobie. I get her home and she starts trying to get it on with me, but I'm freaked out and say I have to go. Luckily her roomate also comes home, who reminds me of one of Joe Urbowitz's daughter, and I am able to go to the front door. In trying to leave however, all this lady's cat's start trying to get out and I have to keep kicking them back and catching them and putting them back inside. I had my classical guitar with me too and that made it difficult. Finally I got out the door and that was the end of the dream.
-- At some point there was another dream where I was inside the Ford's house for some type of Level Green block party or christmas party or something. Very vague. All I remember is their staircase ended in this weird riser thing and my brother made a comment about its architecturel. There was also candy which was supposedly some type of rare or expensive candy, I had a blue piece of hard candy in a blue wrapper, and it was good.

A dream about Jillian's dogs. At her house, in the basement. She just got all three corgi's and they were all puppies. A black one, a blond one, and a mix. I remember talking about how the blond one, cassie, was a purebreed, while the mix was half-lab and the other was half-something black. I don't remember much action, just that I love those dogs.

Walking down elm drive in level green, turn onto cyprus, cross 130, for some reason the cops seemed to be chasing us, so we ran into the backyards of the houses along 130. One of them dipped down and was filled with old trailers and trucks and junk, we climb over the trailers and reach the edge of the woods, however, it now seems that we are behind pizza shack going down into the woods towards home dr. we overlook the creek at the bottom, there are several strange black people who kinda look like the dink-dink people from spaceballs, they slowly walk into the water, which is crystal clear and pretty deep, and continue walking along the floor of the stream, i quit concentrating on them, and we slide down the hill towards the water, we go to the right along the hill for about fifty yards, and i realize we are now at the bottom of saunders station road, underneath the bridge that the turtle creek goes under, we wait under the bridge and we are safe from the police.
I am at mattys cabin with my mom, though it is way different, I look out the window onto the meadow and stream below and feel that i have to piss, I go out to dinner with my mom and mario, I get pissed or they get pissed at me and I just say see ya later and leave dinner and walk away down a wooded trail, I recall wondering if this was a dream or reality when I told of my family. The trail goes down a small slope, I jump down in one big dream jump, it makes sense to jump that far, seems reasonable, other kids show up and try too, we somehow get a tobogan and try jumping the hill on that, i am in the back and do a wicked can-can while we are in the air, mario shows up to make peace between my family and I.
------ Somehow end up at PT highschool, upstairs math wing, I know i have to get to my locker to go to spanish class, however it is also 5th period lunch and the halls are packed, kilroy is there with me, we pass the writing lab and see McFarland in the doorway, he comments on the way we are pushing and shoving people and motions to "block" like a football player, I say something like, "Hell ya, gotta dig in." I get to locker, in its real place, jillian is there with kilroy, in my locker there is a bag of pepperoni and a box of triscuits, I put some in a bag and am about to leave for spanish class when my mom pulls up behind me in her car, ya a car in the hallway, she gets out and trys to slap me with both her hands, but I block both of them. I recall knowing that they were coming and felt like i had The Force or was in the matrix.

It is prom night in this large New York style ritzy hotel. We are up on a high floor with a bunch of girls, then the power starts to flicker, a snow storm is rolling in, we try to get down the stairs as everybody else is going up. Jared is there, and is suspicious of this alarm and its purpose. It is a crazy dream of this hotel and running around trying to get somewhere, but the best part is this; we come to a room with a window about seven feet of the ground, there is a little ledge or windowsill that we have to jump up to in order to get out the window. Art and I are first in line, so I jump up there, no problem. Art takes an extra long start, starts running, does a spin move, launches himself, and macks right into the bottom of the ledge crumpling up into a very small ball. I laugh too hard and wake up.
Sunday, may 15, 4am-noon.
first, a lucid dream where I am exactly where I should be, in my bed in the attic in swissvale, somehow I realize its a dream almost instantaneosly. the room is all black and everything is outlined in grey, barely visible. I jump straight up and jump right out the window. the scenery dissapears quickly and I tried to create an ocean horizon at night, since it is pretty black and wouldn't take much imagining. It didn't work, but I did find myself back inside my room, only this time it is my old room from level green. Somehow I still think its swissvale, and there is still the big window. I jump up on the wall towards autumn drive, or the wall with the window, and re-orient myself to standing sideways, I try to change my whole perspective so that this seems normal, but it is hard to see everything from this sideways perspective, a lot of things keep twisting so that it seems I am on the floor as i should be. Everythign is still very black with grey outlines giving me the only information on shape and appearance. Turning things sideways isn't very stable and I slip out of it and wake up.
So my entire family arrives at the home of the Dunn's from Level Green, their house sits next to Greengate mall, kinda where the train tracks are. The house is filled with my relatives, it seems to be an occasion. First, I explore the house. In a back room I find nintendo games on holders in the wall, a small wooden worktable, and lastly, near the window sill, guitar picks. There are 3 type, the largest are about 5 inches long, then there are smalled, egg sized ones, and lastly regular ones that are still a bit big. Oddly enough, the guitar picks are Ali G brand picks. I take some and put them in a small brown bag, and put it in my pocket.
I walk around the house, I realize I havn't seen Rob or PJ, they entered the room but went straight past me and I havn't seen them since. I walk around the house, in a bedroom i find my dad talking with paul toocheck, i think, about how good I am at banjo, in an adjancent glass porch I find my grandma talking with my aunt betty and aunt hunny, her hair is huge and afro like, and they all are stylized like 1960. I leave there, cut through the kitchen, and see my brother at what must be the kids table in the family room. we talk for a second, then I continue on, however, as I make my rounds around the house I decide to take a detour to the bathroom, but discover mario just beat me there since I had gone the long way around. I leave the house with some kid, He might be the kid from blockbuster who rents games and is a goon. He has a bag with him also, it is filled with money. Tim is there now, and he and I race up the hill towards greengate parking lot, he tells me to throw it so it rains money. I don't, but I do make the kid race me around the parking lot, he almost catches me, it is hard to run fast in dreams. Finally, i give him my bag of guitar picks as insurance or collateral for the money bag, we are about to race more, when an old guy comes up and tells us that the football game is over and we shouldn't be hanging around. aparently greengate mall is actually a school, and on the other side there was a football game that ended a little beforehand. I tell the guy to eat it because PJ lives right there and we go up there all the time, he has a son or somebody with him, I start actin like a jerk and trying to insult him, but find its hard in a dream since he's not real. I make some comment about his balls being small or having cancer or something, and he stops walking and gives me this real serious face and asks, "what exactly, is the problem with my balls?" or something ridiculous like that. I make some smart remark back and we head back down the hill towards the house.
