Lion cub and train pirates dream

I jumped on a train and it took me to Portland.

When I got there I met up with all my old friends who relocated their house closer to the train tracks. The trains would come twice a day and my friends would jump from their roof and onto the speeding trains. These trains were filled with food and necessities to live and they would throw these necessities off of the trains to the others and they would catch the food. We all ate very well, and rent was cheep because of the train tracks, so no one had to work that hard to make the rent. And they would all take turns supporting the low rent cost.

My dad came up from utah to drop off some of my stuff. And (I was going to room with hana) I was setting up my room when he knocked on the door and I answered and he came in with boxes and trashcans to clean up the packing mess.

We unpacked all of the boxes and he was trying to throw them away, and he kept looking at the screen and assuming it was pornography. But it was something that hana said was nostalgia tokens that she cut from various movies and things she recorded. I remember these nostalgia tokens were almost everywhere I went in the dream and I would stop and look at them from time to time. Like when I went outside to take the garbage out and my dad tried to place the cardboard in the trash instead of recycling and I told him that people were very adamant about recycling around here and so was I, and he told me that I was just being hard to work with, and I showed him the nostalgia token TV screen and it started singing about recycling and the importance there of in a cartoon manner. So we went back into the house and my dad said that he had a present for me. And gave me a book entitled: How to raise a baby lion cub.

And I said that I didn’t really need it because I didn’t have a lion cub, and he said that that was the real present, and he brought in this very beautiful black and silver lion cub and hana and I were trying to figure out what to name it and we both said we didn’t like the name stripes (it came up due to the silver stripes on her) because we both had our first cat ever named stripes. So I suggested Claudia and she agreed and I was reading through the book and I read on the inside page why it was important to read this book.

“because it is a baby that needs care,

And it is a dragon on the streets

And It needs to grow up someday and needs to behave.”

I was teaching it not to bite, and hana was starting to fall asleep, when one of our roommates came in and started to pet it, and it playfully bit him. He got very upset and started to try to hit the lion, and I was PISSED, and I rushed over to the lion cub and throw my arms around her, and protected her from the noise and anger of my roommate.

And that’s when I woke up.
