The One With The Tower

i'm a construction worker, working on some building i guess. i'm going up in this tower that's being constructed, in an arm in a brace - bubbled wrapped in fact, then i hear construction & went to check it out.

flash back to the college years. not University of Waterloo. i was trying out for the football team. similar to those of Smallville's when Clark Kent tries out for the Smallville Crows. i meet a few veteran players, a few players were nice, a few weren't. normal i guess. got a bad impression of the coach first-hand 'cuz the coach was being a hard ass on me 'cuz i wrote my number on my locker whiteboard, but then the coach erased it & assigned me a new number (15 to 3).

we all leave the locker room & the senior team comes in. we go outside & the first batch of players complete their laps around the field. second bad impression of the coach is when he starts to make fun of me, so i was determined to show him up. we were doing laps in heats, so i wanted to win the heat badly, & did so, gaining his respect.

then in the distance, plus a weather change from like fall to winter & and age change to the childhood years, i see a friend of mine, Mark, being blind-sided by another kid with a skateboard, so the whole football team goes out & confront the perpetrators, & beat them up. we were all children btw. lol. ensuing that was a snowball fight that kinda turned into a game of "high catch". a childhood game i used to play in elementary school with my friends.

then another seasonal change, & i notice a baseball diamond. i have a glove for some reason. i see Steve hitting batting practice & i run over to the diamond & ask if i can join them. so i joined a bunch of guys in the field just fielding the balls & stuff, some ppl from my old baseball team were warming up their arms by playing catch. i was so off on my throws that i completely overthrew my first throw, but after a while i was able to throw normally again.

now, the weird thing was that there were some hot girls there as well, all of whom i don't know. but they were in sweaters & miniskirts. they were also there playing catch with the baseball. :S another weird thing is that i was only able to throw accurately to them, but not to the guys. :S

later on, we find outselves at a party. me, the girls, & then the football team again. the baseball guys kinda disappeared. we were all just mingling & stuff, making small talk, finding out what's going on & all that small talk stuff. oh & btw, i'm not a kid anymore, i'm actually a graduate from university now, & the girls were still undergraduates, most of them i believe were cheerleaders 'cuz they knew a lot about cheerleading, so i guess they were the football cheerleaders or something since they were pretty tight with the football captain. whoever he was!

then the girls wanted to play some game, & tried to explain the rules to me, & during this time i was throwing two foam balls at them. yeah i was being annoying, what else is new?

flash to present day, the arm in the bubblewrap was a result of that party & that game, & Don Cherry for some reason sponsored my trip out to this tower...don't know the significance of the tower.

...and that's when i woke up.

The One With The Fat Kid

this dream happens with me as an observer.

we were in a school, in a classroom. it was a very typical classroom, but a boring one at that. it was white, with rows of desks, big squared windows, & a huge blackboard. teacher's desk sitting in the front.

for some reason, there wasn't a lesson going on, but instead, there was an eating contest. i also noticed the main character in this dream, the fat kid. standing alone, losing badly to the other kids. i don't know what they were shoving into their mouths.

but i noticed that this fat kid was the kid that everyone picked on. why, we don't know. but not only does the kids pick on him, but so does the teacher. what a bastard!!

furthermore, the fat kid's father was also a teacher at the school, & he was always picked on by the head teacher there. the head teacher just happens to be the fat kid's teacher. there was just no respect for the family.

the fat kid's father had enough of the disrespect, so he finally quits his job & disappears, which is kinda a bad thing for the fat kid 'cuz he was essentially abandoned at the school fending for himself for a couple years.

fast fwd a couple years. that's the cool thing about dreams! :P

the fat kid is still the fat kid, & the fat kid is still the kid everyone picks on. they would always punish him by making him stare out of the window at a reflection of the lake in the school windows. i guess as a sign that he has no hope of going anywhere? i don't know.

so then, one day, the father finally comes back to take him back, asks for forgiveness, but of course the kid accepts the apology as he cries for his father & runs to him. his father takes him out of the school that has treated him so cruelly for a couple years.

fast fwd again.

the fat kid returns. he's still fat, but has a renewed self-esteem & plenty of confidence. he no longer takes the abuse from other kids, & when he returns he is more witty. when it came time to participate in the eating contest again, he dominates. this was his revenge..

...and that's when i woke up.
