I was hanging out with my friend Maureen’s dad for the day. He lived in a farmhouse with many acres of land and we spent the day in his backyard looking at all of his apple trees. Most of them were dying but for some reason he didn't seem to mind. There were bees everywhere and I kept swatting them away but I didn't want to leave because I knew he was lonely and needed the company.

At one point his neighbors came out of their house and got in the car to take their kids to school. The kids were messing around and wouldn't get in the car and the mom yelled "If you don't get in this car right now I'm going to come out there and beat the living snot out of you!" She was so embarrassed when she realized we were outside listening to the whole thing, and Maureen’s dad just smirked as if it happened all the time.

Next I was in my old friend Craig U.’s house watching TV and Sesame Street was on. As I left the house I tried to log onto eBay on my iphone because I thought it would be the coolest thing in the world to own the original Ernie puppet no matter what the cost.

In the last dream I was in Milwaukee with my friend Jeremiah and we were getting a piggyback ride by a giant. I had to work at 9:00am but "home" was two hours away (by car) so this giant was doing his best to get me there on time. At one point I called work to explain that I was going to be late and my old boss Nathalie assured me it would be fine, but as we walked down the road I knew it would actually take days to get home so I had to think of an alternative.

I happened to see Jeremiah's friend (who I now realize was Robert Downey Jr.) coming out of his house with his son and, knowing he had a car, I leaped off the giant and ran over to him hoping he could help me out. When I approached him he was really arrogant and just shrugged his shoulders when he heard my request.

"Take the bus."

I was so upset at this point that I started yelling at him, exclaiming "You are SUCH an asshole! I can't believe Jeremiah hangs out with you!"

Resigned, I ran back over to the giant, climbed back up on his shoulders and prepared for a long ride home.
