From musical stars to Baylor professors, from getting arrested to owning a menagerie, for the past week, I've been having really nutso dreams, full of random characters and events.  And I don't know why. I've never really been able to remember my dreams, especially in the minute detail of late. So yes, this is blog-worthy. Really, this post started out as me just recording these rare occurrences. But why not share, especially since it's summer, and most of us are bored already? Maybe some Joseph with a technicolor dreamcoat reads my blog and will tell me about years of plenty to come.
The past 4 are as follows, in much less detail than they actually occurred.

1. I'm giving advice to a senior at my sister's school. He's interested in theatre. Naturally, I hand out phone numbers of all my theater friends. We proceed to do a read through of the show he's currently working on--but it's all typed out on receipt paper.
2. I'm a Baylor alumni alum alumna and I'm going back to visit a BIC prof (whose class I took freshman year.) His office is in a new building, one that apparently has a cappucino cappuccino machine in the lobby...run by my friend, Sarah Picken (hope you read this :) I find his office. He doesn't remember me, so instead of giving me life advice, he tells me of his recent trip to a toy museum in Missouri after telling me to mind the jar from Jerusalem that's older than Jesus (hint, hint). More meaningless things happen, but the dream concludes with him showing me a necktie. At the bottom, it is embroidered with an ear of corn, and a quote: "Happy and absurd are never the same thing."
3. I get arrested by the FBI for breaking into the home of my childhood friend, who has apparently moved to New Mexico. Before the officers handcuff me, they make me clean the house, which is good, because we discover that the children who live there (plus one homeless guy) have been hiding in all the drawers. 
4. I'm a counselor at a day camp for kids and animals. Cut to me walking along some train tracks, and I almost get electrocuted. Luckily, a giant hawk with elephants and capybaras on its back comes to rescue me.  

any ideas?

Also, I looked up causes for vivid dreams. But since I'm not pregnant, sleep-deprived, depressed, or on any medication, I'm stumped as to why these have started lately.

other than all that, today was a wonderful day! I love spending time with good friends. And Avatar with my dad tonight, maybe?? we shall see. Otherwise...I'll be cleaning my room.

who am I kidding? I'll watch Glee or read blogs or do some other unproductive activity. I'm soaking up every work-free day that I can. Until Monday comes. Yay camp!
