I think I need to build an arc...badumpbump

I just had one of those dreams where you recognize a lot of people in a semi-familiar place. It'd been some time since I'd had one of these dreams, but I always find it interesting to see who interacts. I had a friend that used to tell me he could control his dreams. I'm not like that. However, with this sort of dream I think I do realize (within the dream) that I'm dreaming. 

Anyway, these are pleasant dreams for the most part. For at least a little while, you see a lot of people you forgot about. It's not that you meant to forget about them, it's just you never see them again and all the other things you DO see make them the last thing on your mind. For me, this doesn't last very long once I wake up. I tend to start wondering about one or two people, what happened with them, possible ways of getting in touch with them, and if they'd even want to get in touch.

Oddly enough, today the person I thought about wasn't in the dream. Instead it was someone I sat with in class my 2nd semester at UTSA. They don't really look or act the same, but in the dream it was sort of a mesh.

This people thoughts only last for a few minutes after waking up. Today it was interrupted by the sound of the neighbor's dog howling and wailing. Oddly enough it reminded me of my forgotten childhood German shepards, Ringo and Laika. They used to howl at fire trucks, or when the city would test an emergency siren. For some reason I went to my room to look out No doubt I was still asleep, because there is a big fence and I can't see into my neighbor's yard. I did notice that our yard is flooded a little, and that it continues to rain. Although I love the rain, it's a little worrisome because for years this area had been in drought.

And so was born the following thought...

I need to build an ark. I need to build an arc. hmm.

You see, its a thought that has to do with my (partial) initials. Even though it's not the gringo way, I use 4 initials. At any rate, it seemed a curious thought after having a dream about many people who minimally affected your life. Maybe it wasn't so minimal when you add them all up? Quien sabe.
