Sleep event

July 1st, 2011 We were at some restaurant in the city. The restaurant was outside, a couple stories high. It was cold, windy, and cloudy (and crowded). It eventually turned out to be a field trip. After a while of eating or whatever, something drew my attention to the next table. There was this one guy who looked really familiar (even in real life.). He looked like he might have been some waiter, and I saw him a couple of other times in the dream. Everyone at the table he was at was giggling. He said something I could not exactly hear, but it sounded like he said something along the lines of how he had been staring at me this whole time, but I never noticed. So I repeated what I thought he said as a question, and everyone shouted my name either 1) in a way that indicated that was, in fact, what he said, 2) i was stupid for not hearing, or 3) I was stupid because he really said something else entirely. Then the conversation turned into city cranes. It was why we were at the field trip: to go on them. The familiar guy was talking about the cranes (by the way, i do not know who this 'familiar guy' is in real life, and he did not even tell me his name in the dream.). i think he actually worked on them. he said something about having "three up already" or something, but it made sense because while he was talking about it, I could see it happening: In the dream, ropes hang down the long horizontal part of the crane at the top, and they held stairs. he meant he had already gotten three flights of stairs set up. After this, I saw myself being raised up in the crane. It got really high and I freaked out. My friend <PERSON> was there, too... Then the dream changed. It was at some place that was very flat and open. it was after the storminess of earlier had passed. it was still windy, and there were still clouds (which were freakishly close to the ground), but it was like it was leaving. There was a small skeleton of a building to the left, because people had just started building it. it was notably bright outside. <PERSON> was talking (like I may have been watching the whole thing on TV) and i noticed a colorful tube or pipe just randomly starting a couple of feet off the ground and going infinitely into the sky and the clouds. An eagle came and went into the tube. <PERSON> mentioned something about how things are not always as they seem, and then the eagle came out of the end of the tube (even though the end was somewhere in the clouds where I could not see it, it was also just right there where I could see it.), but it was a pig with wings. Then I heard some music, and woke up to my radio...
