2002-04-14 around 12:24 p.m. The running dream

Grr. The stupid thing just ate the entry I was working on. I think I can remember most of what I wrote.

When I read Heart-girl's entry from last night I felt bad for going to bed when I did. The only reason I went to bed was because the Wall sucked and I was tired of trying to entertain myself with the computer. I would have much rather talked with her than try to fall asleep.

Was up, dressed, and had eaten before noon today. Brunch wasn't all that exciting. I ended up having Raisin Bran and apple juice because the thought of greasy eggs made my stomach churn.

KT still isn't back yet. She must have said Sunday in her note and I just misread it as Saturday. It's possible.

Dreamed last night of getting really pissed off and just running to vent it. I ran through this marathon thing that was going on and the people in charge of it kept yelling at me because I wasn't wearing the orange wrist band of a participant. I kept having to explain that I wasn't in the marathon. Then I ended up, still running, out in the countryside through small towns. After a while I turned around and headed back towards G-ville. At one point I beat up some guy for being a fraud. I think he was trying to rip some charity off, or something like that. Some how I finally ended up running through a mixture of down town G-ville and a place that reminded me of New Orleans. I remember having other dreams set there. I was in some race at that point. We were racing to see who first could get to the corner of 39th and 18th in the north part of town. I won because I was the only one who lived in G-ville and knew about where it was. When I got there I had to fight the lady in charge of the race for some reason. Then she turned into a large mermaid and I was no longer part of the dream. Where I once was a guy and he agreed to marry her so they went off into the ocean which was suddenly there. They lived happily ever after.

And that was a realitively normal dream for me.

It's also not uncommon for me to be in settings or places that I'd been at in past dreams. I even know in the dream that I was there before and will remember, while I'm dreaming, bits of that old dream when I was at that place. The mind is a very interesting thing.

I should go get some work for classes done.
