Screaming or howling

1. I am playing Unknown Armies with the usual suspects in a bedroom at my old college. As the session draws to a close, people are getting ready for bed. I unfortunately have to share a bed with K.R., who is quite a large fellow, while everyone else has separate sleeping arrangements. He has a scar on his back, and when I touch it in curiosity he screams out from sleep. <PERSON> and V.W. walk in to say goodnight; V. looks particularly attractive in a one-piece nightie. I cannot sleep, so I go out into the night. I end up in a dorm that seems to be having a Homecoming party. However, everything is in 19tth century military style, almost Napoleonic. <PERSON> is dressed in epaulets, playing odd military boardgames with people I do not recognize. The bathrooms are also odd, and I really need to use them. I end up avoiding the matter entirely and pissing on an inconspicuous wall looking out into a courtyard. Of course, a group of other friends, (Q., N.H., M.T.) take this opportunity to walk by (dressed in regular clothing). They look and laugh at me, and I turn away in shame. I start to almost float, bouncing off the walls as I move down a different hallway (everyone is back to normal). There is a bunch of rowdy old alums making too much noise, and I get past them to a proper bathroom at the end of the hall. There are posters hanging across from the sinks for odd metal bands, including the real-life band "Bigelf." The venue, however, is the fictional "Redneck Mountain." As I look in the mirror, I realize that I look like another student, a <PERSON> I do a double take, and recognize that it is a reality check to go lucid. I start washing my hands, expecting the activity to stabilize me, and I do feel the sensations of running water and friction. However, at this point I have been dreaming for over 10 minutes and I cannot hold on any longer. 2. Fragment of a dinner with my future grad school mentor and family. He stays quiet throughout the meal until we ask about his work. When he talks about genes that manage magnetic particles, I stand up in amazement.
