Boxing horses, wrecked hotel

I'm staying at a hotel with three other guys I don't really know. I wake up to find one of them has done hundreds of dollars worth of damage to the room and shades in the halls. I'm explaining to the others that if we con't call the cops on the guy ourselves the hotel is going to make us all pay for it.

I'm outside the hotel, looking up a hill. There are cowboys wrangling up wild horses and low flying aircraft. The horses have very strong hind legs and I think about how I told someone in waking life my body aches felt like I'd been kicked by a horse. The horses can use their front legs a bit like arms and two of them are having a fistfight.

I'm wrestling with the guy who wrecked the hotel room. I hear a particularly loud particularly low plane that seems to be approaching from beyond the hill. As I wonder if it's going to crash on us, it comes into view - it's not an airplane but a giant blue dumpster. The guy who I was going to call the cops on is holding onto me as if he would rather die with me, crushed by the dumpster, than be arrested.

Rescuing a drowning boy, setting off fireworks

I'm in an overcrowded swimming pool. A toddler is drowning right in from of me. I take him out of the pool, his body is limp and flat like an uncooked pizza crust. I try holding him a few different ways to get the water out of his lungs and succeed at getting him to breathe by laying him on his stomach and turning him over once it seems most of the water is out.

I have a cardboard box of fireworks that is set off, perhaps unintentionally. They all go off more or less at once. There's a second metal box of fireworks. An alien sets fire to fumes coming out from the closed box. The fumes burn like a blowtorch for several seconds, then the box explodes very powerfully with a single crack of military explosives and blinding white flash. As the smoke clears, I look to see if anyone near was injured. It seems everybody is OK.

Working at an amusement park church

There is some sort of religious ceremony in which I'm taking part as a behind the scenes worker. It's a regularly scheduled event, like a service offered throughout the day at an amusement park. There are three tube-like structures running up a cliff. At the top, there are organically shaped rotating yellow rings. Their purpose is to reanimate or crucify people during the service. My job is to make sure they are in working order - I have to climb the cliff to make sure they are working.

Shaved off my beard

I'm waking up, realizing I drank so much I blacked out the night before. I've done a horrible job of shaving my beard off while I was blacked out.

Getting back from a hiking trip

I'm in a house preparing for a few days hiking in the Appalachians with friends. My hiking companions don't know about hiking and are horsing around.

We're back from the hike and there is a big mess in the room we were preparing in. There's a laundry bag full of my dirty clothes. Someone's mom is watching as I dump out the clothes and find a bunch of food in the bottom. We were supposed to take the food on the hike but it got left behind and rotted.

A keyboard

I'm in a room with many musical instruments. I see a vintage keyboard I'd purchased and forgot about. It's shaped like a mini grand piano and has sliders all over the soundboard. Most of the sliders don't change the sound much. I see a price tag on it listing it at over $1400. As I start to tell my boss I only paid about $600 for it, I notice the price tag is attached to another keyboard that mine is sitting on.

Jumping down a chute

I'm with two male friends or coworkers. We're going somewhere and have to fall through a lung chute to get there. All three of us jump shoulder to shoulder. We accelerate faster then gravity - I look at my companions and we all seem to be surprised but not afraid.

Plants and frogs

My frogs are in a house with no roof and only hints of walls in places. I'm growing potted plants inside the house. I notice one is not doing very well and remember I haven't fed my frogs in a while. As I look closer at the unhealthy plant, I( notice what I thought were shriveled up leaves are actually tiny swarms of insects.

In a crowded market with men gambling

I'm in a crowded market or similar public space, many people seem to be tourists. I come upon an open room packed with South Asian men. They have fist fulls of cash and appear to be gambling. They all have very similar facial features, including over-sized unblinking saucer eyes. Somebody asks the men where they're from and one repliesw, "With names like Bobo, Hoho and Homo you can't tell?"
