Air Parade, Bible School, Owls...so many dreams, so little time

Firstly, of note is that I am developing a pattern of waking up at almost exactly 0300 every night. Wide awake. In Something Wicked This Way Comes, Ray Bradbury refers to this hour as "the soul's midnight". I'll have to find my copy to get the exact quote. Anyway...had a ton of dreams last night and will do the cliff notes version because I have things to do...:

1. I remember it was in three parts, but the first section is lost. The second section had something to do with weather stations and scientists, I remember being in a room with a scientist (played by Jeff Goldblum). We were going over a book. Then we all went outside to look at an "air show", which consisted of a series of remarkable aircraft flying by overhead at about 100', kind of like an airborn parade. At first it was a bunch of fixed-wing silvery craft, then a couple of trains(!). The second train stopped, and a man got out and jumped down to the ground ("only" about 30'). He was wearing medieval clothes, and the dream turned into a big SCA epic.

2. I was going back to Bible school. It seems I had been living in the dorm for some time before the term started, in a multi-person room, and I was prepping for new room mates. I had at least one cat, and there was a kitchenette in one corner stocked with pots and dishes. One of the girls brought in a school newsletter, which had a blurb about an upcoming party the following week which was going to have a medieval theme. If I had known about that before coming out to MN I would have brought some clothes! O, well, Mom can mail them out Priority and they'll arrive in time. I was also thinking about how nice it was going to be to have a car, this time, as I had driven out instead of flying (This last bit seems very significant to me as I sit typing this, I don't know why).

After 0300 lots more dreams, including:

Wandering in a village in the woods with a man, then Gimli the Dwarf and Gollum (a nice character in this dream). At one point we found a crypt like room all lined in marble, and Gimli wanted to add to an inscription in honor of his cousin Balin, but for some reason he wanted it to read "Kheled Zaram" instead of "Khazad Dum". At another point I was tramping through the woods, circling the village, and as we hopped from stump to branch to rock I brushed past a brown owl. I held out my arm and it hopped on my hand. I continued on and it nestled in my arm like a cat.

Later, I dreamed I was driving in a car with my 8th grade English teacher, Tony Bressan. There was somebody else in the car with us, but now I can't remember who. At first he was with us in the car, then in a car behind us. Mr. B sped up and we left the other man far behind. I thought we should go back and look for him. We were driving along a lake shore, I think it was supposed to be Tahoe. We doubled back but didn't find him, and now I suspected he had driven off the road into the lake. We found some tire skid marks going off into the water. Mr. B drove us right onto the lake: his car was amphibious. We were going to the spot where we thought the car should be, and I was going to dive down to try to rescue him...
