I fell asleep by 6a.m. but I got up a few times and checked my e-mail. Why am I so addicted to the computer? I went back up for a nap a little while ago and I come downstairs to see John with tears just POURING down his cheeks. I ran to him and asked what was wrong and hugged him and everything and he started laughing and pointed to the onions he was chopping. Hahaha overprotective much???

So I had another dream when I finally got to sleep for a few hours this morning. I was in a desert again and this time I was totally alone. And there were no mountains around me, just desert for as far as you could see. I was looking for that white leopard because I thought he might know what was going on. I walked around and I looked for him, and for the fire, but I couldn't see it. It was like a movie set that had been stripped. I started practicing flying around, and after a long time I suddenly saw a small lake in the middle of the desert. I flew to it and there was a white animal splashing around in the water and having fun. I called out to it but it got up out of the water and stood on it. I could see it wasn't the leopard, it was a moose or something. It didn't have antlers but it had a moose-like face. Only it was white. A bit like this one I guess. I got scared of the moose for some reason and I ran off in a different direction without looking, and bumped into the leopard. It was mozying along and doing its own thing and didn't even notice me until I'd tripped over it. It looked at me with this kind of "whatever" expression and nodded its head, meaning it didn't care about me but I should go ahead and follow it anyway. We walked together, really slowly. There were crazy lights in the sky at this point and it was getting to be night time. I remembered, in the dream, that John had once told me about a very similar dream experience. I had this sense that the leopard was trying to find someone too but he wasn't in a huge rush. I was getting tired as I walked and I fell down on the ground, as if I was asleep. But in the dream I could see everything around me, I just couldn't move. The leopard laid down next to me and then I woke up.

Note to self: Ask John about his leopard-in-the-desert dream. Did that ever happen that he told me about it, or did I make that up in my dream?

Anyway, dreams are fun, blah blah blah, now it's time to make some dinner. Some friends are coming over in half an hour and I haven't even showered yet, even though I keep planning to.
