Almost forgot!

I really need to do this first thing in the morning while the memory is fresh. Last nights dream was really interesting (and somewhat disturbing). It was midterms at MTU, and we were getting our grades back. It was a sociology class where we had to present some papers. The grades came in three parts, and it was like content, technical, and overall. On my papers, I received an A for the content but a D for technical and my overall midterm grade was A- (apparently the grades were weighted).

I was a little dismayed with the D, despite having an A- overall. Class concluded for a break (the class was in two parts) and I was sure I would end up missing the second half. This is where things got a bit unsettling. I reviewed my research for the paper which had something to do with a disgusting bathroom!

There was a bucket overflowing with feces, and the toilet as well was near full. It had spilled over onto the floor. I tried to take the bucket to the sink to try to get rid of it, but then realized the toilet was a better choice. It needed to be flushed first, and when I did that, it started to overflow. I thought I might get sick, and then proceded to do so. As luck would have it, two people showed up and said they would clean it up. Whew!

I can't recall if this was at my house, or at a bathroom elsewhere, but next thing I knew, I was heading to where I lived. Or was I already there? It was a tiny little house with a tiny little fenced yard. The lot was 30' across at max, and about 3x as deep. the house was probably 25X15 with one bedroom, a tiny kitchen and a living room. It was great. Half of the front yard was used for a vegtable garden, and the other half was grass.

I went out to the yard and noticed that the garden was severly wilting! In a near panic, I turned the water on. I remember distinctly it only took a quarter of a turn of the faucet to have full pressure at the sprinkler. It had been two weeks since it was last watered, and I hoped it was not too late for the young plants.

Across the street was a large corn field. Not far from the house a small car was backed into the field with someone sitting inside it. It seemed they lived in a house further in the field. I thought it was an odd place for them to park.
