Nicknack Shop [04/19/2003]

Had a dream last night again. This dream started out as me and Kristin hanging out together on some imaginary campus that doesn't really exist, but I seemed to know it well in my dream. It was later in the evening and all the city lights were on. We were wandering down campus to some kind of craft/nicknack store and went in to look around. Lots of people were in there looking around at the shelves crowded with interesting little trinkets. The house seemed like some really old english house with little rooms and made mostly of wood. The store was spread between several little rooms like that and there was an entrance at either end. We walked through from one end to the other. I believe Kristin had bought something small.

We left the shop and stepped out to a small field next to a street on the other side of which stood several stores and houses which seemed to represent the city/town. Kristin told me she had to get going and mentioned something about looking for a job within a few days. I bid her goodnight and then the scene changed to the other side of this shop that we were just in. It seemed to be a different night, and I was under the impression that I was going to visit Kristin who was now working at this shop. I walked around the outside of the building and walked in to a door downstairs. The entrance led into an aged basement with old rugs and such. Some junk lay around here and there, and there was a door to my left that led upstairs. I looked around a bit, and Kristin's Jacket hung on the wall to the right among others. I waited there a minute and then some guy came up to me and started talking to me as if he was dealing drugs or something. He led me into another division of the basement which looked as if it were some kind of electronics shop. He showed me this contraption that looked like a bomb, and shortly I was certain it was. He then began telling me how powerful it was and stuff like that.

The scene then changed to what looked like a military base, and I was still under the impression that he was demonstrating this device. This stunt guy then got in this weird looking vehicle which seemed to be able to detach from the center. It looked like some kind of elongated Baha car. The two ends of this vehicle were attached by three offset pins that formed a trangle with one pin set forward in the center and the other two set back and to either side of the block. It had large off-road wheels and was made with a lot of piping. The stunt driver was in like a protective cage made of these thick pipes. The vehicle itself was at least two car lengths long and one car length wide.

The driver then went to line up the vehicle for this demonstration. I don't know why, but the vehicle was parked on some grassy field, and to line it up, he had to drive it across the main road into the base, and turn it around toward to left and drive across the street to drive it down a test runway. Some guy went and took this large circular mine that I assume had this explosive device in it, and they placed it down the runway strip some distance.

Then the driver tried to line up the vehicle, which he almost killed himself doing. He drive it forward and almost ran into a van driving down the main street, then he backed up and took a different approach to the street. He again did the same thing and this time he backed up to his right and almost drove himselve into a huge gapping hole. I have no idea how deep it was because I couldn't see the bottom. He then gave a thumbs up sign as if he was ready this time. Two of his tires were practically in the hole. He then stopped on it and took to the right and drive across the right-hand side of the street, drove over the grass in the middle and drove right in front of another weird vehicle almost like it but was a burnt red color. He just missed hitting that vehicle and got into the field on the other side. He turned around toward his left and proceeded to go across the street again, and almost hit another two vehicles, but just missed those. He then stepped on it and drove down the runway strip toward this mine. He drove over the mine at which time it exploded and made a rather small explosion in my opinion. I then watched as the vehicle just kept going. It then became clear to me that the mine essentially vaporized the connecting pins and the vehicle slowly just split apart and fell over. We examined it closely and I was very impressed with its performance.

Suddenly the scene changed and I was back in the old basement and the guy put away this explosive in its sale package. He basically plugged it into the package, and the package made some kind of security beep sound, like a car with a security system. I then left his little shop and he started closing it up for the night. I then went upstairs and found myself in the little nicknack store again. I looked around and walked down a hall to a sliding door. I was about to go in as a black girl came out and I looked in the room to see it wasn't part of the shop. I asked the girl where Kristin was and she replied that she was upstairs probably. I then turned around back into the shop and went to the back of the skinny little store where there was flight of stairs in the corner of the small room. I walked up the stairs and a couple workers game me a look as if I wasn't suppose to go up there.

I got upstairs to what appeared to be an open kitchen and dining area and it looked as if the family that owned the shop was making dinner. I assumed Kristin must be joining them for dinner. I looked around a little more and went down another hallway on that floor to another sliding door and another black girl, who looked just like the one before, came out and I asked her if she had seen Kristin and she said she didn't know. I got a little disappointed, gave up, and then shortly woke up from the dream afterward.
