L-pool, island ferry - 2007-09-02 3:12 - Entry 972 - TOGoS's Journal

I dreampt that I was going for some sort of hike. I think YC was along at first, but sometime through the dream she disappeared. We came to a shelter-like building with some folks hanging around in it. They didn't seem too friendly so we moved on. There was a huge (stretching to the horizon) prarie to the south, and after walking about a half mile into it we came across a floating ship. We climbed on, but soon some of the guys from the shelter showed up and chased us away. A couple of them were following me, and I was running northeastwards, towards where the bike path goes under Verona road (apparently Fitchburg was pretty much replaced by the prarie). I ran into Otts and into a room where there was an EE class going on and hid off in a corner. One of the guys stuck his head in and almost pulled it back out when I realized I was there. Then they came in...I think they tried to take my camera. I'm not sure how I got rid of them, but I seem to remember talking to a guy in the class about it after they were gone.

I had another dream that I was with YC and her friends and we were going for a long road trip up north into Canada. We camped one night, and the next day we came to a place where we had to go across a lake on a ferry. We parked in a parking lot, and we weren't sure if we were already on the ferry yet or if it just wasn't here yet. If we were already on it, it must be a very large ferry. It even had grass and trees on it. More like a floating island than a boat. After a while we realized that we were not moving and this was not, in fact, the ferry. The Indian guy that was with us got in his car and drove off, saying he'd be back in a bit. We drove off, too, to go find something to eat.

We came back a few hours later and the ferry had arrived (it looked like a tall, round, floating parking ramp). We didn't know whether Indian Guy had gotten back yet or not, so we just boarded.

Later we were driving farther north and came into a park. The sun was about to set and the sky was showing through the tops of the trees and shining rays of a pretty blue color down between them. They were really neat looking trees, too, and I opened the door and jumped out of the car because I just *had* to take a picture of this place.

The place we ended up camping at was another small lake. Or a large l-shaped swimming pool. Fizz was there, but busy hanging out with some girl he just met from Germany. I walked around the pool and ended up hanging around with a bunch of people that I was afraid would try to push me in. I didn't want to get pushed in. I managed to not be pushed in despite the efforts of 2 of them.

When it was time to go I packed up my stuff and jumped on a bus that took people from near the pool to the parking lot where our cars were parked. I meant to get on the same bus as my friends but I didn't see them there. The bus was a funny configuration. It was designed as a vehicle for carrying freight, but they had installed compartments for people to stand in. You were supposed to buy a ticket shortly after you got on but I didn't want to if I was going to jump off soon anyway (not seeing my friends there), which I soon did. Just after I jumped off I ran into Fizz walking the same way. He had longish hair and didn't notice me at first. Then we got on the bus, and this time the manager assumed we both had tickets already.

YC and I wanted to bike to Sun Prarie this evening. It turns out that we can't really do that 'in the evening'. We'll try again Monday, maybe. Tomorrow I'm supposed to go meet some guy on Randall and see if I can set up a web site for him.
