I had a crazy, crazy dream last night that involved trying to break into a nuclear reactor to make it melt down so that we could time travel to the future and so survive the impending doom of the world.

I really love my dreams sometimes.

This dream featured:
Xypharan - as our driver
Kit - as someone whose car we needed to steal for Reasons (mysterious reasons)
The Toyota Camry station wagon that belongs to the people I am house sitting for - as the actual crime vehicle
The streets of downtown Fredericton - as the location of or mysterious car theft.
Some Very Steep Stairs - as part of the secret route into the rector facility.
Xypharan's galoshes - ???????

I don't remember a lot of details now, sadly! I know there were a few of us involved in the planning. I don't know how this was supposed to work *at all* or what the calamity was that the Earth was facing.

I know we drove to the reactor several times along the Secret Route, which I can still sort of envision. It was along a footpath, and then driving up some steep narrow stairs. The wheels of the car had to be just exactly on either edge of the staircase for this to work and it was pretty harrowing. Xypharan was driving.

I have *no idea* why we had to steal Kit's car, but I was very apologetic because we basically tricked it away from her. Possibly we needed a decoy? The theft totally happened in the parking lot behind the Fredericton City Hall though.

I remember only bits and pieces - the drive up the stairs is the clearest bit at this point. I also remember when the dream ended. Xyph stopped the car partway up the stairs so that he could put on galoshes over his very shiny pointy dress shoes. I was upset because this was a *very stupid* place to stop, both in the sense that it was a very extreme angle in a place that was not meant for carts, and also that it put us at great risk to get caught! I got fed up in-dream and decided I would help him get it over, but the galoshes themselves were so absurd (the were the rubber shoe-condom kind of ones, only they had shoelace ties at the toes that you would wrap around the toe of the shoe several times, so that the lace ran under your foot?) that it completely broke my suspension of disbelief and I woke up.

That's right - I was fine with the whole 'cause a reactor meltdown to time travel' premise but the shoes were too ridiculous for even my dreaming brain to accept :p

I can actually poinpoint where a lot of the elements of the dream come from, at least!
