Last night I dreamed I was in a science class watching a video taken from inside of a hippopotamus. Apparently, in my dream world, the hippopotamus's digestive system is just one straight, wide tube, because we could see straight through its mouth as it looked around trying to decide what to eat. I think it finally decided on a monkey, who looked extremely scared as I woke up.
Then I dreamed I was Kevin from Home Alone and for some reason I had to save a past version of myself from Harry and Marv. The four of us had apparently just finished a camping trip/back-to-school shopping spree in the parking lot of Wal-Mart (which had originally been either the cafeteria at my college or a made-up pasta restaurant, one of which I had been trying to get to before 2 PM to get a spaghetti and meatball sub earlier in the dream), and were going our separate ways, but I realized that when Harry took something off of the shopping cart, he took part of my backpack straps, because without them, the straps wouldn't go together. I followed him as he walked/drove his Wario Bike over to the cart return, and when I got there, it turned into a big van full of other burglars. I politely asked Harry to let me look for my backpack straps. He refused initially, but Marv convinced him to let me on because there wasn't much time left. As I was on there, I heard Harry explaining the plan to the other burglars, part of which involved creating more complicated distractions for the police than the dental-related things they had been doing for so long. As he talked about that, I saw a car running over soda cans in the road beside a library I used to go to IRL. Finally, I got the backpack straps (oddly enough for me, after switching locations, I actually ended up going back to the original location), and baby me/Kevin appeared in my arms as I ran back to the blue Chevy Suburban that my family used to own in real life. I debated for a while whether to put baby me in the middle, next to another random baby, or in the back. I finally decided to put him in the back and sit with him. Once I was back there, I called my (Kevin's) mom on a cell phone and told her not to worry because I'd be back home by tomorrow morning (I figured the trip would be about 6 hours, and it was about 5 or 6 PM). Then as I hung up, I realized I didn't have anyone to drive the car. And I woke up. It's dreams like this that make me not as concerned about trying to have lucid dreams, because I could never make up something that cool.
I think somewhere in between there, I had a dream that I was watching some people from here playing Mario Kart Wii, and wondering why they hadn't registered my friend code yet.
At some point I also dreamed that my entire body was painted black and I was running down a hallway trying to look like Mr. Game & Watch.
Incidentally, I'm typing this on my Wii with a USB keyboard, and I took so long typing this that the remote fell asleep.
