Three dreams

First:
I was at a science conference with a random assortment of people from the music department. It was high in a giant skyscraper with a wall of floor to ceiling windows facing a city. We were sitting on bleachers and facing a lecturer.  The building right behind him was a giant glass elevator, and he was explaining a phenomenon that would occur when people in the elevator were raised above a certain elevation.  As he spoke, regular people in the elevator went above the line and began compulsively dancing.  See! The lecturer said, they cannot help but dance at this altitude.
He pulled out racks onto the floor of science toys which we investigated. I remember chief was there.

Later we were riding on a charter bus. I wanted to feel what it means to be a bus, so I either mentally (within the dream) or physically became a bus. Actually I was still a human, straight upright with my arms outstretched, flying down the highway. There were no cars, and it was cool with a lot of moisture in the air. It was either dawn or dusk. Later the bus came back again, and I remember Amanda L getting off and talking about what a terrifying experience that was.

And I can't remember if it was earlier or later, but I was sitting in a gigantic movie theater (I guess I've had several dreams in movie theaters) and I was watching a Pixar movie I think? The room itself was well lit, creating an informal atmosphere of people walking in and out. Mom's parrots were on my shoulder and they were uncharacteristically sweet, nuzzling my neck.

This was such a fun dream that without realizing it I had heard and turned off my alarm, which I set to get to work by six am. Jt had just gone to bed (5:30) and he let me lay there for a few minutes before shaking me awake. Thas my baby.

Second:
I was in a pastoral place, forest at the edge of my view, golden fields right ahead of me. Reminds me of North Carolina, near my mom's house on kernodle road where I used to bike a lot. There was a rusty old wagon wheel. I realized I had walked there from my home a little bit away, and that this was  Ariel's house. I felt dumb, because she lived so close and I hadn't visited her one time.  We decided to fly with the birds in the dusk, which were dark because they were silhouetted. It was a very peaceful place, with no thought of anything but the present.  JT wanted to come so we waited for him to finish eating. He had a very large bowl of something opaque and bubblegum pink.  When he poked into the round mass with a fork it would jiggle like jello.
JT was in ceremony this night and said he'd been thinking about listening to birds and how he might benefit nutritionally from eating more gelatin. Idk about the latter and idk if it was a coincidence or if we were on the same astral plane.

Third: whiskey dream
I crashed my car into the top of a tree.  Bc I was extremely clumsy, not because I was drunk.  I don't remember it actually falling or anything, but it put a nasty dent into JTs car and some obscure diagnostic declared his car totaled. The car was actually Jonathan's Volvo (probably some personal significance to this that I'm not in the mood to explore) which in real life never goes anywhere because it's been busted a parked for nearly two years. But in the dream it was JT's car and he was super pissed at me.
Other people, ignorant of my terrible driving, thought I had created a remarkable art installation. They were deeply reverent of my work. People googled me and found some quote of mine in a high school or college newspaper, and held it up as evidence of my genius. Idiots.
