a few months of dreams!

Exam Castle:
I am writing an exam in castle or manor house perhaps. I have to use the bathroom and make my way to the basement. I am unable to find my way back but have the distinct sense that I squandered my time so far and will have to really focus when I return to the exam. I am lost but am now outside the castle in a lush field and can see the room I need to get back to on the second or third floor. I ask a person who is next to me how to get to the room as the house is surrounded by a high brick wall with a ravenous dog on the other side. They tell me to go over the wall and jump directly onto a set of stairs over the wall. I run and jump an easily clear the 15 ft wall, and over the grass strip with the dog onto the set of stair. The dog follows but goes too far over the stairs.

Smart Gas:
trying to park smart car, decide I want gas and get stuck between posts on a side walk as I clamour for a spot in gasoline line

Jersey Visit:
Room in an apartment in another city (spanish?) - people from Jersey shore are talking about plans they need to make and all sorts of folly. They're my friends and are trying to convince me to be on the next show.

90210 uh oh:
My Mom suggestively introduces me to a Hollywood starlet at a hotel check in desk. She asked me out. I end up back at her Hollywood mansion and after a tour try to leave to play it cool. I end up staying and meet her sister who tells me that "she's 40% taken". Her boyfriend also shows up. Things get awkward aas it becomes apparent that these people are all strange

Airport insight:
I'm in a large room waiting in a crowd - I am not sure what for. The crowd thins and I make my way to an airline check in desk which is more like a foreign money exchange desk - a plexiglass divider and a small hole for conversation. An airline employee shows up next to me and starts being extremely rude, saying things that are both cruel and oddly insightful. I am offended but she's right.

UFO:
I am lounging outside a hotel on a chair in a landscape that looks like Miami, and with an emptiness that is similar to a video game landscape - it seems to me all the buildings around me are vacant and I am one of few people in this place. A UFO flies towards me along the water line and I try to take a picture on my blackberry but the software is too slow. Luckily another comes, but I have the same issue. This happens 4 or 5 times before one of the UFOs crash. I run to it, and see the crashed UFO on the ground broken open. It is the size of a large trucks wheel, and the top is open to reveal a small iguana sized alien lying still. It looks like the alien from 'Alien' and I remember thinking that the similarity is too much to be coincidence and that this must not be first contact. I move away (no idea why) after taking pictures and call the police. I am now a long way from the crash site and I have trouble making my way back through the crowds. I have the distinct feeling that I should capitalize on having pictures and sell them, but also that if I am discovered to have these pictures that perhaps I will be detained by government agents.
it is now later and I arrive in a bus full of other people at the end of a dirt road on the shore of a lake. I am telling a friend about the aliens and as i am trying to describe the ship another UFO crashes in the lake in front of us - it makes the explanation a lot easier. Two more UFOs show up to recover the crashed one.

Gross:
Filthy washroom, red and blue tile, soaking wet everywhere surrounded by people showering. It seems like it's a locker room...

Flickers of train:
A few underground train dreams - feature short, airport like autonomous train cars on immaculate concrete tracks. Something about missing a train or trying to reverse my path leads to me being on the concrete tracks at a complex junction. The space that the trains are in is clean and cavernous with a lot of space all around. The tracks are indistinguishable from the platform

Japanese Adventure:
I'm driving very fast on an empty urban road. I know I am in Tokyo though it looks nothing like typical pictures of Tokyo. There are road signs all over the place that I can not understand. I am not sure if I'm driving or being driven. I have the distinct impression that I need get to somewhere specific in order to meet someone, but realize that without directions or the ability to read the signs that this will be a challenge. I am casually confident that I will find my way because I have the sense I am headed in the right direction. All at once I am trying to exit a parking garage. As I approach the cashier booth I am unable to stop the vehicle I am in (which is now a van) because I can not reach the brake pedal. I speed past the booth through the gate which is open. The space I am going through is very tight as is any exit to a garage, except that it's not actually an exit but leads to yet another cashier lane after the one I went through. This one is staggered to the side of the first and is part of a row of booths, so that if I had gone left or right I would have arrived at another booth. I am still unable to brake and keep filtering through booths. It seems that if these booths could be viewed from the air that they would form a river delta like formation of cashier booths.
I am now past the booths and on foot in what is an amusement park. The park is contained within high walls of 40 ft or so. The ground is strewn with garbage and the landscape looks as if it is from a post-apocalyptic vision of the future. The walls surrounding the park look as if they are remnants of past buildings that have been left after ruin. I see a climbing structure mounted high along a wall and play on it. I easily lift myself high above the ground. The structure simultaneously looks like simple scaffolding left behind for some other purpose and some sort of purposeful climbing structure; it's painted blue and red with shiny paint. I go to a corner where there is a stand of shanties selling trinkets and simple food such as Chinese stir fry.
