[This is a catch-up post. These dreams are from the nights of June 12-13 and 14-15, 2011.] Night of June 12-13 There is a murder investigation taking place in a house that looks a lot like my grandparents' house. I am directly involved, and the investigation is highly elaborate and has a detailed plot, with lots of dialog. [Of course, I cannot remember any of the specifics now.] Partway through, the dream morphs from live-action into a <PERSON> stop-motion movie featuring the Grim Reaper, who "kills" me. I somehow know I am not really dead, though. I fall over backwards from the force of the scythe-blow and land in a sling, suspended from a moving, overhead track; it is part of a theme park ride. The ride takes me through "heaven" and ends with me exchanging salutes with Weird Al, who is standing in for <PERSON> on the ride. Night of June 14-15 [Bizarre, Disneyland-related dreams FTW! This time,] I am with a vivacious traveling companion, and we have time-traveled to the year 2011. [Whether backward or forward, I do not know.] We wonder how we know what year it is, until we come up with the obvious answer: "Because that is the year we set the time machine for?" The entrance to the new version of Star Tours is in a rotating building with revolving doors. [This dream was in anticipation of the upcoming weekend; I was planning to go to Disneyland to ride the new Star Tours the following Sunday, June 19th, and I did.] Inside, there is a loading/staging area for the ride with circular staging zones. "Abilene!" I say to a 1-year-old girl who is in the staging area with me. "You know you cannot be on the end [of the row of seats]!" I take her spot in the staging area, making her and the other little kids move over along the row, toward the outside of the circle.
