From what I can remember from my dream last night.

So it was Christmas break and so everyone's hanging out at mom and dad (Glen and Beth)'s house. And my foot kept hurting so I kept having to bring my foot up and take my fingernails to take great big slivers out from my foot. But the slivers were actually long sewing needles. And I didn't think anything of it at first, until it kept happening and I realized, hmm, this is weird, how did all these sewing needles get jabbed up into my foot? Because they were like, all the way in there, with just a centimeter of the needle sticking out, which I grabbed and slowly slid the needle out of my foot. But like, no blood or anything, just stabbing pain when I stepped. And I thought, what if these aren't actually needles, but my brain is playing a trick on me? 

So Adam and I looked it up (Adam was there, by the way) and yep, it was just all in our mind. Because Adam had the same thing too. So it was all in out heads, and the needles weren't real, but wait, because I could see the needles Adam pulled out of his foot and he could see the needles I pulled out, so how is that possible if they were just a figment of our imagination? Then I had the idea that maybe because we told each other there were needles our minds would fill in the gaps, so I had the idea that we should draw what we saw and then compare the pictures to see if we saw the needles in the exact same locations, and if not then it meant our brains were just filling in the gaps.

Only Adam didn't like that idea and he told me we should take medicine, and the medicine was in the top of my mom and dad's right-hand closet. And I go there and there are boxes on top and I look through them and there's no medicine but there is a Christmas gift I wrapped for Heather and hid up there so no one could find it, but I forgot about it too. So I come out and unwrap it (instead of giving it to Heather to unwrap, I guess, my bad) and it's a cute little couples gift, which for some reason reminds me that Adam is old enough to be married with kids, but he doesn't, because he passed away years ago in a climbing accident.

And then I'm like, what the heck? Because, you know, I've been hanging out with Adam this whole time, and so I confront the rest of the family about it, and they admit that all this time I've been talking to Adam I've actually just been standing there by myself talking to myself. Which annoys me, but I guess that explains how I was able to see the needles that Adam took out of his foot. But I was like, wait if it was all just really in my head how was Adam able to lead me to this Christmas gift for Heather? Spooky.

And this somehow transitions to Heather and I are going to be moving, but instead of bothering to pack up everything because that would take forever, we'd just pick up the entire house and move it with all the stuff still inside. And my parents were gone for the week so it was the perfect time. So we made arrangements and lifted the whole house up, and Uncle David took it off to put in near Grandma and Grandpa's house. But for some reason we still had a bunch of stuff which we had to pack up, and loaded up in this large trailer.

And Dr. Strange was there and he helped us out, only Dr. Strange was Uncle Alan and everyone just took this in stride, and he drove the large trailer with an attachment on the back. His car was so packed full of stuff and four people (I think Henry and Joy, along with Brent maybe?) that there was literally no room for me, so I had to ride on the back on top of the back attachment. Only I couldn't get a really good grip, so part way there I fell off with a bunch of stuff. This was on a dirt path on the dairy. We tried to fit it back on but to no avail, but then thankfully Eric showed up, who worked for some sort of moving Uber company, and after calculating how much stuff he would help us carry in his truck, he calculated that he'd be paid $9.95 from his company, so he excitedly agreed to help. 

So we made it the rest of the way and ended setting up the house next to Grandma and Grandpa's house, right where their trailer/RV was. And it was super hot out, so everyone was in the shade. And then I realized with horror, What were mom and dad going to do when they got back into town and noticed a giant hole where their house used to be? It was the first time any of us had thought about it. And I was like, how can we just take their house and move it without telling them? And I asked around to Alan and David and everyone if they had told my mom and dad but everyone just assumed that someone else had done it so no one had. 

And I can't really remember what happened next but I woke up a little bit after that. I don't think my parents ever made it back into Fallon to see what we did by the end of the dream.
