...maybe.
Earliest snippet: in a bookstore with friends (the St Cloud B&N, I think). I spotted The Amulet of Samarkand and recommended it to the girl I was with, but in my dream I called it The Mind of Bartimeus or something like that. (Considering that the main draw for me is his footnotes, this makes sense.) But we were apparently in a magical bookstore, and as non-magical people, we didn't belong there. So they chased us out. So we ran in a circle to avoid them, and on the way out, I bought The Mind of Bartimeus. This is kind of epic when you think about it.
Once back in the car, it turns out I was actually traveling with family. Well... family and some strange people, come to think of it. But Z. was definitely in the back seat with me. Dad handed out sandwiches and grapes from the back (fun fact: they were sandwiches made with the cheese and lunch meat I have now; also, I have grapes right now), though I worried my grapes would get warm before I had a chance to eat them. It was quite sunny and summery out. Turns out I had reason to worry (...not that it's really a significant worry...) because we got out of the car at one point and did something that I have forgotten. When we got back in, my grapes were warm and squished because we'd folded the back seats down. (Why? I'm sorry I haven't a clue.) There was a toll booth involved. I mean that we went through one. It's not related to the grapes or the seat as far as I remember. Also, my family had created a game of sorts involving leaning in clock directions (like towards six o'clock, etc.) when seeing certain things outside. We drove through a field and played it.
The last section of my dream is ironically the least clear. It was some kind of sci-fi dungeon crawl sort of game. Like to the extent that I actually tried thinking with portals at some point. I think. And we were trying to save a girl. Possibly Ginny. The details are hazy. In the last room, there was a floor like the ones in Brawl--I could go through it. There was even a decal of some sort on a section that made me go through it. When I thought I'd solved the puzzle in the room (involving arrows of some sort), the floor stopped being... transcendable? Not a word and not what I mean. :P Oh well. I couldn't go through it anymore, which means I was trapped in the room. The two long-sleeved shirts I had with me--one was my black and gray shirt that I got from TY, the other might've been my Totoro sweatshirt--disappeared, leaving me in the light purple tank top I wore to yoga last night. When the second one was taken, there was a noise below and when I looked I saw it being taken away. Then I went to this hole in the floor (not big enough to get through) which provided a view of a hallway. The maybe-Ginny that we were trying to save was walking with the Big Bad and plotting something, but I got her attention--reversing gravity in that hallway somehow in the process--but before I could see what she would do, I realized I was dreaming and waking up, so the dream stopped.
It's just occurred to me that I had another dream that I remember. I was at Electrolux. And waiting to get transferred to working at that library. LOLBRAIN. I asked someone around if library work payed any better (real life reaction: ha! ha! ha!), and he said no. I suppose my brain was trying to figure out why I would be transferring. Dear brain, 1) It's been like half a semester 2) Because Electrolux isn't in Pittsburgh and hey, doesn't provide work study either...
Finally, let us give thanks to the Lord for He is good. As tongue-in-cheek as that sounds, the sentiment is sincere but framed in a cliche. We were unable to have writing class yesterday because the professor gave a talk at a different campus and didn't make it back as quickly as he'd thought he would. So the classes are being moved back, and the stories, instead of being due next Wednesday, are due the following Monday. Praise be to God. (Again, really.)
(And while we're saying mildly blasphemous-sounding things, I saw Jesus described as a Deadpan Snarker on TV Tropes yesterday, and it was AWESOME.)

202709: Wow I'm stressed
aaaagh
Okay, dreams, or what I remember of them rather:
I was at my dorm and wanted to get somewhere. Buses were not convenient. Google told me to go alley-hopping, but obviously that didn't strike me as such a good idea. Then my sister (C) showed up and also wanted to go somewhere, to shop for a present for my other sister T and she'd brought the car so I wound up driving. C had brought money and a few small chocolates on a stiff white paper thing--she called them truffles, but they weren't. There was yellow candy coating on one. C wanted to buy a present for T, for their birthday (aren't you getting the months a bit confused?). So we drove off together--suddenly from my home driveway, by the way. T came as well.
We wound up driving to somewhere we shouldn't have driven, kind of an alley-slash-dead-end. I knocked over a cone in the process. Getting out of there was impossibly easy. We had to drive past a handful of scary-looking people on the way out. Somehow I left T behind in the process, and when she got back to us, the truffles and C's money were gone. But then we drove somewhere more likely. We peered at a sign down a staircase to see what stores the basement contained. Before we could find the right one, I woke up.
I know why it was C first...

Much less distinct today. Something about traveling, me driving, and roleplaying involved. It was raining. My brother was in the front seat. We went to a restaurant to wait and Dad caught up. At some point, we needed a green mop-type thing from Dr. Jordan.

HP Fanfiction and China
Two dreams for you again this morn. First was something about a Ginny-centric fanfiction. Probably thanks to my read of http://www.sugarquill.net/read.php?storyid=1026&chapno=1 , though this was far less canon. Faaaaar less. Ginny was late getting to Hogwarts and there was some money issue for some reason. On my first read-through and up to my first review, I didn't mind, but the second time I was realizing that Ginny had amounts of money she shouldn't, and I left a second review saying so.
The other dream took place on a cold, rainy day around here. I think I was walking with ベラさん, バーティクさん, and ハロルドさん. We wanted to get back to our dorms without getting cold and rainy--hmm, snowy, actually, come to think of it--so we went to cut through Posvar/DL, but apparently, some bigwigs from China were in town and somehow we angered them by being where we were (isn't it a little late for G-20 stress dreams?). So we had to take an elevator up to talk to this--he started as a guy, kinda young, who made us fill out this paperwork while rambling about how dangerous we could be. ベラさん's phone rang, and she answered it, and apparently that was going to get her in trouble later on because her phone pinged her home phone, making... something happen. On the paperwork, there was a lot about accusations of rape or something. HB-san was in the military in my dream and was carrying his ("his") gun with him--never mind that that's illegal on campus--which he had to show to the Chinese guy. I worried that would get us all in trouble, or at least him. At some point, the young Chinese guy changed into an old Chinese guy who went on this rant about how we were dangerous to China if we so much as thought Japan was nice, which was not ideal. XD On the back side of the paper, there were lots of questions about how we felt about Japanese and Korean pop culture. I lied on them because I didn't want to be called again because I wasn't a threat to China. Eventually the guy made a third transition, this time to a Chinese woman in a red shirt. She mentioned that she'd lost children to... whatever it was they were being all suspicious of, and I told her that was hard to beat (in terms of reasons to be suspicious). I tried to tell her I was sorry for her loss, but she'd turned away and wasn't listening. Finally someone else's phone rang, and they didn't answer it.

I think I'll make this a dream diary of sorts.
Last night I dreamt of changing schools somehow. I think at one point I was playing TWEWY and achieved something new (ha). And then at the new school, there was a cafeteria, and at one point everyone was doing flash-mob-y sort of things... Like everyone was interacting and not eating... making weird hand gestures. I think it started with me. But apparently we all then got dragged to the principal's office (is this elementary school or something??) for being disruptive. So we were all sitting outside the office until the principal spoke to the first person and realized that we hadn't done anything wrong. So we went back to the cafeteria...
Also, at one point I was singing a weird combination of 助けてえいりん and 私はめいりん. What the heck~ XD I never even intend to buy any Touhou games... I think others were singing along with me... possibly. That might have been part of the flash mob thing.
(I think I sang, "Eirin, Eirin, tasukete Eirin. Eirin, Eirin, Hong Meiling"... fail. xD Though I did actually notice in my dream that I'd switched up, which is impressive for it being a dream and all.)
