The dream started off with a party in someones apartment on the second floor. I was dating my friend Hilary and we were all playing a game called 'How Well Do You Know Someone?' where one person has to guess what another person would say in a given situation (I'm guessing my subconscious was thinking of 'The Newlywed Game'). My ex-girlfriend Emily was there as well and we were getting along really well. However, every time I answered a correct quote about Hilary I could see her become upset with me. She seemed to be mad at the fact that I knew Hilary as well as I knew her.

At one point Emily left the room and one of the guys was commenting on how beautiful she was. I turned to my friend (I'm pretty sure it was my friend Dave G.) and said "How could he possibly think she is cuter than Hil? She is the hottest girl ever!"

He and I talked for a bit longer and I recall being so happy that I finally had a close male friend to talk and hang out with.

Somehow the apartment turned into the hotel and I was arguing with these three foreign men about making dinner reservations somewhere and I was so pissed off about having to be dealing with euro-trash as usual.

The dream then went back to the apartment where Dave and I were about to head out somewhere. As soon as we went downstairs and left the building I realized that I had left my glasses in his room. He gave me the keys to go back in and as I approached the staircase there was as mall boy there who was unable to get into his apartment. I walked him upstairs and got him to his door and I was happy that I had forgotten my glasses because otherwise the boy would have been stuck at the bottom of the staircase.

In the next part of the dream I was in a parking lot in front of my friend Tara H.'s apartment. I was playing around with the gas tank beneath the seat of her motorcycle and I found that if I lifted the seat a certain way it would allow the gas tank to fill up for free. The problem was that I wasn't sure of how to stop the gas from pouring, so after the tank was full the gas continued to pour out until a huge puddle had formed around me. When Tara came out I explained what was happening and she just smiled calmly and suggested we light a match and burn it up. I thought it was a terrible idea, but she lit it anyways.

Before she was able to ignite the puddle the entire city was hit with a flood and we spent a while wading in the waist-high water trying to get to higher ground. I was carrying something really heavy on my back and a guy beside me made me carry something else on my waist and I was so upset to be so weighed down.

In the last dream some friends and I were walking through an Asian families house and we couldn't figure out how to get out. I was separated from the rest of my group and ended up in the kitchen area where the mom poured water over some green grapes and it turned them into soap. She offered me the bowl and even though I didn't want any I took a big piece anyways just so I wouldn't offend her.

Eventually the rest of the group found me and we all left with little pieces of soap in our hands. We used it as we walked into a park across the street and it was awful so we threw it out and tried to find a water fountain so we could wash it off.

In the first dream I was in a house that sat on the side of a set of railroad tracks with a large fence that separated it from me and my neighbors. Looking back now it was very reminiscent of large dog kennels with the fences going all the way up to the house on each side and the top left open.

Each night a train would stop in front of the house to drop off the never ending flood of Albanian refugees who were seeking a place to stay. They would run up to the homes where people would open their gates and give them shelter for the night.

We were waiting for a friend to arrive on one of the trains (I believe it was an old acquaintance of mine from the Emily/Nikki/Kate circle named Jodi D.), and we had the house all set up to welcome her. There was a drummer playing along to songs karaoke style, and behind him was a large white screen that hung from the ceiling. On the screen we had random pictures of people in strange predicaments and their faces were removed so that one of us in the room could place our faces in the void instead. We laughed so hard at the various facial expressions I was making as we waited for our friend to arrive.

A short while later I went outside and waited for her in the darkness behind the fence. The first train pulled up and all of the refugees poured out like zombies, wandering up to all of the houses hoping for someone to open the fence. I tried my best to go unnoticed but one of them saw me and before I knew it they were everywhere. They began banging on my fence, and eventually they had started to climb up to the top where I was helpless to stop them. Just as the first one had successfully climbed over and jumped down next to me Kasia must have bumped me because I woke up pushing her away as if she was trying to get in as well.

In the next dream I had just punched in for my shift working in a wood shop. I was holding a piece of wood and as I brought it to my nose I inhaled deeply and said "Ahhhhh...there’s nothing like the smell of pine in the morning!"

I looked over to see Kramer from Seinfeld shopping in the aisles. He picked out a small storage bin and as he walked further down the aisle he kept finding bigger and bigger ones. Eventually he was looking at the storage boxes which held the storage boxes and I took him outside and said "You call than an office? Now THIS is an office!" as we stared at the huge tree fort of my place of employment in all its glory.

I turned around to find a large wooden house that was in complete disrepair, and a woman came outside to tell Kasia and I that the owner would like us to take some pictures of the house for her. I was so excited!

I was wading in the water next to a large rock formation and as I looked closer into the water I could see that the rock had been carved into feet. It was a large elephant stone and I realized I was in India. I climbed up to the top where I found my mom and dad amidst a crowd of people who were all participating in a game of some sort. As soon as they noticed I was there I was encouraged to be the next contestant, and before I knew it I was whisked off stage and taken to an area where I could change and get ready for the game.

I went into the bathroom and started peeing into this strange conglomeration of urinals that stood together in the middle of the room. My pee stream was stronger than I anticipated and I ended up peeing over the urinals and onto the door frame behind them. I finished up as quickly as I could before anyone came in and saw what I had done.

In the other dream Kasia and I were moving into a new apartment and we were busy packing things up in preparation for the move. While we were in the new apartment I came into the living room to discover a young man in his early twenties standing there with the front door open behind him. Kasia and I started yelling at him to “Get the f@ck out of our apartment” and as he left I followed him across the hall to see where he lived. When he opened his door and entered his apartment I could see a bunch of Asian guys all huddled up on a couch playing video games.

Later on I was walking down the street with an Asian friend of mine (no one I actually know) and I told him about this kid and his apartment, and my friend said "Oh yeah, that's where the Asian Kings live" (I can't recall the exact name of their gang now but it was similar to this). He went on to explain how they came into power and I was afraid of what they might do to me now that I chased one of their friends out of my apartment.
