"So I was getting ready to go on a trip and I was gonna head to the airport, needed to meet up with my family, like my father and mother and siblings to get to have dinner before the trip. So I realized that I needed to pack some more things out of my camper and so I met with them. Didn't eat dinner yet, but... So I started running around that route and when I was running... I was running like a monkey or something, like with my feet and then I'd go under my arms and pull myself up, then go back to my feet and go with my arms and the road started getting steeper and steeper and eventually I realized that I was up high on a cliff and the cliff was like way above the ground and I was kind of scared, I was hanging on to like a rung and the rung became loose and one of the bolts fell off it so then the rung was dangling there. There was a guy behind me who was climbing up, like I was looking down at the water trying to think if it was deep enough that I could drop back down to it because there was water below me, but the guy below me, I asked him if he had an extra nut for the rung so that I could tighten it back up, but he didn't have one and he fell, like his rung just snapped off at that point and he fell down and he seemed to be pretty badly injured so I didn't want to fall down off the rung anymore and I just wasn't really sure what to do at that point so I was just dangling from the rung and then I woke up."

"I remember being at my high school parking lot, I had just returned from a big trip. I wasn’t sure if I had all of my necessities met, but food ended up being provided for me, I had a ride home. I remember knowing my now partner was there, but we weren’t together yet. I had to be very mindful of not longing for him, knowing he would disappear if I did. I remember traveling with my school principal. It looked like we were heading home but we weren’t heading home (I recognized the physical landscape as an area near my childhood home) I remember people were riding horses through the River, like wild stallions. We were in cars though that seemed to come in and out of existence, while simultaneously being wagons. "
