First:
I was on a small boat with my sister and my dad. We were in a competition to race with other boats across the atlantic to england, then from there down the coastline to africa. None of us had much boat experience but we were going to give it our all. We headed out to sea and it was night time. We almost got immediately lost until we remembered that they gave us instructions and a compass. We turned around 360 degrees as my dad always does before ew got pointed in the right direction. This put is the middle of a pack of swimmers on body boards that were doing the same thing as us except with no boats. We went along with them until we reached the first port that we were going to spenfd the night at. The tide was coming in and there were big swells. The swimmers could just ride the crests into the shore so we tried the same with our boat. We were going too slow and caught a wave very badly and it flipped us. We were all ok but the boat was upside down and destroyed. When my dad, sister and I got onto shore, my mom was waiting there. She took us in, got us warm and dry then took us shopping (?). I went with her to a poster/costume shop and she made me pick something out even though I didn't want anything. The costumes were all ust flat peices of tagboard with pictures that you held up in front of you. Not very exciting. I picked one out quickly just tog et her off my back. That day ended. The next morning, (in the dream) I awoke to the sounds of joy. I went outside and saw a huge state of the art yacht that definetley could fare the open seas. I climbed aboard and asked who's it was. There was a nameless helper and Gwenyth Paltrow on board. She said that it was Steve Zissou's. I then said that he could use a grant from a university or research or something, get the boat, then quit and keep it in the water. Bill Murray from the captian's chair that I did not see earlier said that that is what he already did. I felt overjoyed since now we were nearly sure to win the competition. I took Gwenyth into my arms and we danced on deck. I closed my eyes and that was the end of the dream.

Second:
I was in a vrey large stadium that was filled to the rim with people and tennis courts. Most of the courts were on the ground but some of them had spaces cleared out in the stands and were at a very severe angle. All of them had people playing on them, I was walking along a catwalk in the middle of the stadium so I could get a good view of nearly all of the courts. I saw on one of them a kid from back home and my middle school principal playing. I stopped to watch and they saw me. They did a few rallies and when TIm, the kid hit one horribly out, I gave a aignal as if it was in. The call did not get reversed but he laughed. They both looked up to the catwalk and told me to give them a little dance. I did a short shimmy but not much more because I knew if I did it would make it onto the bigscreen and I didn't want that. I again ended with me dancing.

PS: First time I have had any dream ending on a dancing note, let alone two! Not sure what that means at all!
