dreams

 Strange night in dreamland. Back at the old state job, I was in the elevator and suddenly instead of being inside the elevator car, I was on top of it and then it dropped out from under me. I hung on to the wall and made my way out of the elevator shaft by taking the panels off of a little maintenance cut-out, and when I crawled through the hole, I was suddenly on the lawn of the State Capitol and my clothes were all messed up and people were staring at me as I wandered across the lawn trying to get myself together.

[I had actually had strange elevator dreams the previous night as well, in that one I was in a wierd house/spa/gym/place in steampunk gear with Thax and our friends Monica and Flavio. The elevator in that dream took us through all kinds of strange places, including downtown austin to the headquarters of some secret society like the masons or something like that, who were the owners of the house through a bunch of wierd corporations and shell companies, it was like a cult. Anyway, elevator dreams two nights in a row. what's that about?]

Then I was meeting with an academic advisor about whether to go to some place in Europe to do journalism, or some place in the Caribbean to tag and rescue sea life & plant mangroves and stuff.
