I'm heading down a gravel road on foot to Ty's house. It's for his birthday party. The house is unfamiliar. People are sitting around the kitchen isle as ambient music is playing. It is eerily quiet for a party. I'm climbing up the side of a high cliff, with no gear. An old school friend is flailed off when Kai lets him loose (maybe pushed?) near the top, and he splatters on the hard ground below. The body is twitching. It's a more gruesome scene than I'm used to seeing in my dreams. I note here that in my dream, my uncertainty of whether he was pushed off the cliff or not is quite prominent. I did not know what really happened, and that fact is very memorable and seems to be of some importance. There is some discussion of student loans, navigating a classroom, trying out different doors...
9:57 AM Started out with a fragment about teaching people how to make better cheese. Transitioned Running up around a hill with my girlfriend Anna. She said "Speaking of I, there was this guy who was traveling." Then she took off at lightning speed and expected me to keep up. We came to the an area where maybe 10 or 15 freeways came up over the horizon and hill off to the far left. They were merging lanes in weird places and the highways cut across each other all-together in a couple places. Anna was already halfway across by the time I got to the first freeway and calling to me so I darted right out in front of traffic. I had to dodge back and forth and was running so fast my legs wanted to fall out from under me when I turned.. even after that I wasn't making to much progress so Anna came back for me and "pushed" behind me. We moved super fast in the right direction.. feww.. stopped to catch breath.
