Dream Fragments

[mlerules]

Led a class fieldtrip to D-land, specifically to the modified (reImagineared) Pirates ride, where rather than riding boats we waded waist-deep (neck-deep for the smaller chilluns), clinging to inflatable torpedoes. Note to designers: the leeches must GO. Ended up at some point at the House which features in many many of my dreams. I could swear (but I'd be lying) I've been there (really it's only in my dreams)...but it's great and I love exploring whenever I make it there...found new rooms w/suits of armor...the kids (and adult supervisors) dossed down whereever they felt like. Luckily no Creatures of the Night appeared this time. (Guessing it's no longer Zombie Season.) For some reason I associate the house w/my paternal grandmother. Some similarities exist, 'cept the kitchen's main theme is now bees rather than pineapples. (Hell, it's been redone since years ago when it went pineappley so I'm not sure what 'tis in real life - nor do I really care, 'cause this so ain't real life, 'cept my dreams are really truly mine and part of my life even if not as accessible as other parts of my life.) Also reconfigured Star Tours so it lets out into an area w/a huge Star Wars arcade and gift shop w/numerous human-sized Lego DeathStars and Darth Vaders. 'Twas virtually empty (as the ride often is these days). Still thinking they need to update it w/Serenity-related voyages and images. It'd a be a bit harsh w/the pilot dying horribly at the end of each ride, I guess...but it'd certainly grab your attention! Went and visited some olde friend (never seen him before in my life, only in dream-land) who's now working for D-ney. Helped him find his office. Odd setup, w/all the proprietary files OUTSIDE the office. Thus, the file cabinets remain unlocked and exposed to the elements at all times, which strikes me as not the typical D-ney way of keeping things & stuff safe from prying eyes (and fingers of dampness). 'Kay, that's all I can recall now...quite a lot for me actually though. Obvious influences: School of Rock (watched it last night), upcoming and past D-land adventures, recent Star of India visit (w/field trip in progress).
