 So it was Easter, even though it was September and the day before school starts, and my cousin Matt was here and he was saying that he was going to go watch a baseball game that was his school, Osseo, against ours. So I said that I wanted to go too, but when I got there it turned out that I had softball practice, and it was everybody in softball on one team. And so actually it was a game, right next to the baseball stadium, and so we could hear cheering from both sides and the baseball dugout was right behind ours, so I turned around and saw Dan, and his hair had gotten really long because I hadn't seen him in awhile. And so since it was everybody on one team, I didn't really get played that much because Coenen mostly just played the varsity people. And then we were playing a team of big huge dudes who apparently played softball, and it was pretty scary, except then we were just playing catch, and I was playing catch with that asian girl who's in softball, and I couldn't throw like at all, and she was getting angry cuz she had to keep chasing the ball, and then I couldn't catch with my left hand anymore, and neither could she and this other girl, so Mr. Coenen told us to come in the next morning and he would teach us how to throw with our left hand and catch with our right, but I didn't want to go in the next morning because it was the first day of school and we got to go in late, you know, and so I wanted to sleep in, but he was like, if you wanna play softball you have to work hard, so I pretty much had no choice and I was angry. Then the dream switched and I was like a tribe member of this tribe in South America in the rainforest or something, and I had just gotten captured and taken away from this dude who apparently was like my love, and then I was a slave in this house with lots of other female slaves. And then it switched to the guy's point of view, and apparently I had escaped or something and I was back in the rainforest, and the evil white people were trying to capture more tribal people including us, and we were in a river and the white people were in a boat and there were rapids and the girl was like struggling and trying not to get captured or drown in the rapids and she started swimming downstream and she kinda disappeared, and then I was the guy for awhile and I was swimming downstream, and the white guys were eventually gone but I had to keep swimming because I knew they were following me, and the river was calm now and it was really really deep turquoise and really pretty and I had to keep swimming to get away even though I was tired, and I could see the river ahead of me and it was really far and long and I saw this bright light floaty thing that apparently was the Holy Ghost (normally I call it the Holy Spirit like everybody else but I guess in the dream I was calling it the Holy Ghost, I dunno) and anyway the Holy Ghost like inspired me to keep swimming, and then the river was like split into small, shallow streams for awhile before they joined up again, and then I was the girl again and I saw the river going uphill (which is impossible, I realize), like really steep uphill, and so I couldn't swim uphill so I got out of the river even though you're supposed to stay in because if the people chasing me have dogs to try to find me, they can't smell my tracks if I'm in water. But anyway I went up the hill on this little rocky path next to the river, and I reached the top and at that point the river curven dramatically downhill into a giant rushing waterfall, but it wasn't like a straight drop waterfall it was more gradual like a hill. I saw these two tribal children,a boy and girl who were brother and sister, the girl was older, and they were like admiring the waterfall, and also next to me there were two of those sledding things that are circular, you know what I'm talking about? And since I was the girl, I saw the guy come to the top of the hill, just before the waterfall (apparently he swam up the hill), and I was all happy that he was okay, and he jumped down and slid down the waterfall, and when he got to the bottom he was totally fine, and laughing. And the kids were all amazed. And so I took one of the sledding things and threw it down to see how fast the water was actually going, and the sled thing got caught in like a mini current and was spiraling around and around, and the guy, who was at the bottom of the river, was like, no it's not as scary as it looks. And so I got the second sled thing and was gonna go down the waterfall on that, but then I woke up right before.
