had the wildest dream last night.

i went to this place, it was somewhere in the southwest. let me preface this by saying a few months ago i had a very aquatic-themed dream, where i was at this aquarium type place, except the building itself was more like a workout gym and there was this very large pool/tank with maybe walruses or some other large weird animal like that inside of it that i had to swim through to get to this walkway to cross over this body of water...okay it was just weird. i have a lot of water dreams. whatever. anyway. so. i was at that place again. it was near the painted deserts. except instead of being a combination gym/aquarium, it was an eatery. and a petrified wood storing company. because they were hauling countless chunks of petrified wood. the stuff was everywhere. so, i hung out, decided i wanted to leave. instead of driving though, i was walking back by my myself on this weird path with a cliff next to me. i went back and forth a couple of times - as in back to wherever our car was parked, because it had magically teleported to a far away parking lot instead of where we drove it up to right in front of the building. so don't ask me why i walked back and forth a few times, i just did. but finally, there was this long line of people walking back on the trail. and there was one part that was really narrow and crumbly, and i had no trouble getting through it the previous times, but this time, i was terrified to cross it. my dad was behind me, and another male who i can't recall at the moment, perhaps another young family member? one of my cousins? not sure. as well as a long line of people also waiting to cross. and, it was dark. pretty dark. so i couldn't see very well. so eventually, we realized there was another trail about five feet underneath the one we were walking on, and decided to use that one instead. cut to movie theatre. i was there with someone used to date, but we weren't dating in the dream, just seeing a movie together. and we were watching this film that i happened to be really into, may have been a foreign film? so i had my feet up on the seat in front of me, per usual in real life, but this time there were people in front of me and they got angry and started shooting me dirty looks for having my feet up. i think one of the girls turned around and told me to stop it. then, someone from their group came back with his mac laptop and said, "i'm pro-choice and this is why." and he showed me this short little blurb, i dont remember what it said, and some weird graphic design he made that looked a lot like that fetus sigur ros album cover. it was around this time that i realized he had approached me because i was wearing this black pro-life supporting hoodie. (what?! its so strange.) so i then gave him my real-life shpeal about why i was pro-life (i'm glad my values stay true in the sub-conscious) leading into a discussion about feminist history and the like. it was around this time that the guy i was with started getting really angry. he kept making really annoyed gestures and told me that if i wasn't there to watch the movie i should leave. (i love how things are so blunt in dreams.) i told him that maybe he should leave. i recall saying distinctly, "why don't you just leave? seriously, leave. no one wants you here. you should just leave." anyway, that went on for some time, and i must have ended up leaving. because the next thing i know, i'm finding my car in a parking garage. i caught some teenage kids (two boys and one girl) red handed breaking into my car. told them to give me all my stuff, they had tried putting my ipod into my iginition (seriously, what?) and were saying they didn't really take anything else. well, i ended up starting the car and driving off while they were still in it, one boy and the girl jumped out but the other kid was trapped driving with me. so then i was driving around a lot, in a place that looked very similar to the abandoned industrial parts of cleveland. i don't really know what the kid was doing during this time, i just remember driving down a bunch of roads and not really knowing where i was going. but eventually i started threatening to drop the kid off in really bad parts of town, specifically one place that was a brick road which led through a tunnel. he eventually started being really inappropriate and must have gotten out. i continued driving. that was the end.

i woke up trying to figure out if i'm crazy or what.
