I dreamed that I snuck through a forest around an odd government complex. The pines were huge and heavy around me, and there were dark-rocked streams. I would walk around inside of the complexes and they were half abandoned and people were sparsely around in them. Yellow paint chipping, grey concrete halls, lights out, water dripping, the works. It wasn't flourescent, but lighted by the orange of the sun through large windows in the complex. The dream then shifted to a classroom where a tattoed woman called me a Bob Dylan wannabe and accused me of having shots of rum in my mechanical pencils and pens. I just responded by saying I wouldn't judge her by her tattos and kept working. Everybody here looked at me oddly and I never felt truly talked to (lots of kneiving and selfish faces etc.). Then I saw an old friend/girl I loved from my old town who made me a skateboard when I was a little kid. We talked and I showed her places around the pines and paths where I grew up, and we would change forms as we moved around like in Ovid's Metamorphosis (but less out of punishment and more freely). I felt like in my dream my psychology changed as we changed to different animals. I would follow her and she would follow me, but completely in the moment like an animal might be (unthinking, but beautiful because of that).
