i dreamt that 8 or 10 people (including myself) got into into my friend kevin's house. we weren't a well-formed group... we were stragglers, all just looking for a place to hang out for a few hours... nothing sinister, no harm intended. we somehow let ourselves in to his house and just hung out for a while. some people were napping, others were talking in small groups. i was in the kitchen, cooking something.
when kevin came home, he wasn't too happy about us being there... but he felt outnumbered, so rather than fight us all off he just sat down in front of his TV and silently fumed. when i noticed he'd come home, i happily plopped myself down beside him and kissed his cheek. it was only then that i saw how upset he was. so i took it upon myself to try to evict everyone.
it was hard. no one wanted to leave. a couple of people had pizzas delivered. i was getting upset, so i decided to do something radical: i sabotaged the electrical system.
i went outside and asked a big burly guy to start cutting into the main wire that feeds electricity to the house. we both knew it would spark, so we were standing by with fire extinguishers. the sparks flew every which way and the fire grew instantly out of control. our extinguishers were no match for it.
then i woke up.
i think i was having this dream as i was trying to fall asleep. i was extremely cold... my feet were ice cubes and i was shivering a little bit, even beneath my down comforter. i was in this half-conscious state and remember thinking "i'll warm up in a minute"... but i never did. i was sort of in a semi-lucid state for what felt like an hour, dreaming this weird dream about fire and not able to get up and put socks on my frigid feeet.
i finally did push myself out of bed, though, and put on some slippers and a light jacket.
