I'm not sure how this dream started out. It might have been the kids from Stranger Things, or maybe some African kids, who saw this mountain in the distance and wanted to try to walk to it.

But then it tutned into me and Sara walking along a trail or railroad tracks towards it. Sometimes when the trail was raised up above the surrounding terrain we could see the mountain poking out above the trees or nearby rocks or whatever. Sometimes there were other, closer rocky features that we mistook for the mountain. Eventually we came to an Interlaken-like town (which in dream logic I'd been to before on previous long travels down this way). The path ahead curved to the left as it went through town, elevated a bit above the lake shore to the right. It was kind of nice to walk by the lake. After the bend I turned around and was surprised by a large crane between the path and the lake. It had a giant white arm with a bend in it. "Wow that's a really big crane" I said to Sara. I had to stop and take some pictures of it.

I may have woken up with a cat on me and turned. Yoru was making wet sounds with her mouth.

I was at Timmy and May's apartment. I was trying to tell them about how I came from an alternate universe where they lived with Granny and Grandpa.

Driving home, we came to a T intersection, and on the other side, on a grassy knoll, someone was setting up a spinny carnival ride. It was the kind where there are multiple arms, and on the end of each arm is a pod with multiple seats, and the whole thing spins, and the pods also spin. This one had blue, peanut-shaped pods, which were each large enough to hold like 20 [small] people. I was like we gotta go ride that.

We parked somewhere and went to the ride. I was wondering if someone had just bought it cheap from a carnival that was closing down "so that they wouldn't have to pack it all up again", and got some nods. As I stood in line for this, other rides popped up. There was an 'airship' ride which seemed cool for a minute because I thought it might float around the park so you could see everything from above, but then I saw that it was attached to 4 vertical poles made to look like lasers, so it really just went up and back down. And then there was a wall of games and a place to buy tickets, and little kid Timmy (like 5 years old) went running off to buy tickets, though for the rides it seemed like they just took credit cards. And the whole thing was now in the Elver Park woods, which was cool because I liked the woods, but I hoped they weren't going to chop down any trees or anything. And I gave up trying to wrangle Timmy and layed down next to the game shack and looked up at the trees, whose leaves were turning yellow, and thought "this is nice."
