I had a dream....I think.

So I had this dream last night. And since my husband is too busy with work, I am going to tell you about it instead. Then he can read it later and I won't have forgotten the details.

So in my dream I am this FBI agent working with Agent Hotchner from the show Criminal Minds in the Behavioral Analysis Unit. We are trying to track a serial killer who is actually Dennis Hopper from the movie Speed. He uses a lot of bombs and mind games. We are in a city that is a mix of what I think New York city would look like if it combined with Pocatello. If that doesn't make sense, then Welcome to my dream world! Anywho, in my dream, I am competing against another agent named Prentiss for both recognition as a great agent and Hotchner's affection. I am currently his girlfriend but Prentiss wants to usurp me. Drama! We are following clues that this serial killer left. We are in an office building that looks all rustic and fancy. Not like those boring office buildings you sometimes dream about. We get a phone call from Dennis Hopper who says he left a key for us and when we find it, one person has to go across the street and open a locked phone box that is reserved for emergency use only. We surmise that either he has placed a bomb in the building we are in, or there is a bomb in the lock box so that when you turn the key either one is rigged to explode. He is asking us to choose who to sacrifice or who to save, but we don't know which choice we are making. Well, the hot shot Prentiss finds the key (taped to the back of a SWAT officer, haha!) and then realizes that this automatically means she is chosen as the one to go open the lock box. As she prepares to cross the street, we get into a more safe position in the next building over after discreetly clearing out the citizens. Dennis Hopper gets angry when you try to save everyone so we have to be discreet. And then, TWIST! Suddenly, we realize that Dennis Hopper just wants to get me and Hotchner. And this bomb is a diversion. We have to brace ourselves for either the buidling next door to explode, or the phone bomb across the street. We tell everyone to get under tables and I huddle in a corner that seems solidly reinforced. I look at Hotchner and suddenly realize that it's Prentiss who is going to explode and I feel guilty for being so competitive. All she wanted was love. And aren't I married? Then the explosion happens and it rocks the building a little bit and I realize I was correct. Had the building exploded, it would have been more devastating. Hotchner and I run to the windows and look out at the phone box. There is just a broken phone box, and some charred brick walls with a few sputtering flames.
Hotchner grabs my hand and says "He's coming" and pulls me to the fire escape. We launch ourselves over the stair railings (which are very nice, polished mahogany wood) to the next landing and make it outside into a college campus. People are everywhere, and so we easily blend in. However, Genius Hotchner sees Dennis Hopper go into the building as we are exited and points at him and says "HA-HA!" sort of like that kid on the Simpson's. Dennis Hopper looks at us and immediately starts to chase us. I say to Hotchner "He probably wouldn't have noticed us if you hadn't said that". Apparently the thought didn't occur to him. He sobers up a bit and we start running. We are really fast but so is Dennis Hopper. I look up at the college clock tower and see that it's 4:00 pm. The last bus is leaving the campus right now! And we have to be on it! We sprint towards the bus that appeared at the end of the sidewalk. A little girls with a lunchbox and back pack gets off and the bus speeds away. We quickly reevaluate and make a jack-knife right turn into an alleyway. Classic. Suddenly, Dennis Hopper is right beside us with his arms around both of us telling us to just keep walking and pretend to be normal. The alley way turns into a street and there are lots of quaint little shops with lots of people around. It is suddenly night time. The three of us get stopped by a drunken group of men coming out of a bowling alley that is attached to a diner. They want us to go in and bowl with them. Dennis Hopper starts a fight with them and releases his grasp on me. I take the split second to run into the diner away from him and Hotchner (hopefully he understands. My husband would. I have a kid to think about!). The diner is great because if I stay low, I can hide behind the all the low walls that separate the booths. I am hunched over and sprinting at the same time, but no one really notices too much. I keep running and make it out the back door into another alley that is more of a dead end because it turns into a sort of mountain made out of lava rock, but with lots of trees and shrubs too. The inner rock climber in me launches up a steep trail and starts to climb. In the dark. I get about 50 feet up and suddenly feel the edge of a cliff. I look over the side and see houses lit up and street lights glimmering. 50 feet is a LONG way!! I have thoughts flash through my head like "Wow, I am going to die by falling off a cliff trying to escape a serial killer." I turn and look back at the diner. I decide I am probably well hidden and should just hide here. Although I do note I am wearing a neon green sweater. What a rookie mistake! As I am watching the diner, I notice that the person I thought was a restaurant worker dumping garbage is actually a really buff man stuffing two girls who are barely alive into the dumpster. The man has obviously noticed my scramble up the trail and he immediately sees an opportunity to get another victim. I am prepared to launch further up the dangerous trail if needed as he makes his way to the foot of the trail. He gets one hand hold ready and suddenly 5 or 6 guys come bursting out of random directions. One from the bowling alley. They are all buff and awesome looking. The one from the bowling alley is wearing a light blue shirt with some design and sunglasses (yep, at night). I realize it's my brother Nate! None of them see me. They just think the guy is making his escape after dumping the girls bodies. Nate basically rips the guy a new one while a few of the other guys get the girls out of the dumpster and carted to safety.
Then Nate throws the guy into the dumpster! Irony? I squeak out a small "Nate!" that manages to reach his ears. He sees me huddled all sad and scared on the trail and says "Casey?!?!" all brotherly and protective. I bound down the trail as fast as I can and make it to him. He asks "Was that guy after you?" and I say "I think so. But what's worse is there is still another serial killer after me and he has my boyfriend. And oh yeah, I work with the FBI. Please save me!"
So we walk and I tell him all about what happened and he says he didn't see them in the bowling alley so they must have went somewhere else. He promises the he and his friends will find him and "take care of it". That's when I realize that he's a werewolf. Cooooooool.
After that the dream gets hazy. I think I died, but only pretended to die so I could have the serial killer off my trail. Then Nate rips Dennis Hopper to shreds. Hotchner thinks I am dead, but a few days later I go to surprise him when TWIST! He is already seeing someone else....who is married! And they have been together for a month? Low down Hotchner, low down. Wait, aren't I married? Yup! That's when I wake up feeling happy that I don't have to feel sad about Hotchner cheating on me.

The best thing about this dream was my brother saving me and all the cool visual effects I couldn't convey through words because it would have confused you. Not that you are dumb, but that I can't write very well. So, do I have any psychoanalysis experts reading this? If so, ANALYZE! :)
