We start a race, me and the infamous we.
We start with a sprint down a cement track with a grand water fall to our left. The water is hitting the cement with no splash or break in texture; so the cement is liquid, which makes it much harder to run.
We take a right around a wall and into a flooded garbage dump. I grab a discarded water floaty to ease my passing through the dump, but a fellow competitor pops it so I have to wade the rest of my way through this stretch.
We take another right up a hill leading from the garbage dump to a ramshackle old house. Its not part of the race but we all go through it. Inside are classic movie monsters. Frankenstein wolfman dracula the mummy etc. I get scared and run into a small closet bathroom. I hide under the sink and the wolfman comes in to look for me. He looks straight at me and leaves. I make a run for it. Out the house I go, I take another right on the track into a fairground of JUST ferris wheels, mostly yellow. I hope into a basket and enjoy the ride for a bit.
Now if you've been keeping track, thats 3 rights I've taken. The last leg of this race is me reaching the end of the fair grounds and finding a cliff that over looks the water fall from the start of the race. I jump off the cliff and land in the liquid cement. The starting line IS the finish line.
I wasnt first place, but they gave me the gold medal anyway.
In other versions of this dream, I skip the house altogether because I know now whats in it. Sometimes the garbage dump isnt flooded or I find I dont need the floaty to make my way through. Sometimes I bypass the ferris wheels altogether and earn the gold.
I havent had the dream in years, I feel a bit overdue...
