Dream Post #44? or #46?

In parts from last night:

- I start work at a new job... at an arcade in the middle of what looks like some part of Sunnyvale? My boss is Jesse Pinkman from Breaking Bad (although I don't realize it until after I wake up - it's the voice), and he tells me that I'm pretty much free to slack off and play Pacman whenever I want to. For some reason the Pacman game in the arcade doesn't feel like normal Pacman, but I can't figure out why. I start feeling like I'm not getting enough work and end up leaving at some point.

- Walking past a fenced community (same city) on the other side of which I can see the roots and sewage, or roots of sewage? branch out from the community's ground into the exterior environment, resulting in a bunch of dead looking trees and walls outside. But the inside looks nice and pristine. I pass by a really nice looking playground and swing-set, although I'm paranoid that the adults on it are swinging too high - I've always had this paranoid fear of people swinging too high off a swing-set and falling off.

- Miki and Justin are back! and I see that Miki has brand new fancy red car parked next to mine.... with a really long wagon handle extending out from the top of the trunk. She demonstrates to me how she can push the car around the parking lot with the handle as if the car is a lawn mower or a vacuum cleaner, but I'm afraid she's going to cause a car accident at the speed she's going, because it's still a car.

Later on, Miki, Justin, Kyrie, and some other folks I don't remember sneak into Oprah's closet that looks more like a store, in the middle of a strip mall. My mom happens to be a security guard and walks in with me following her as I'm afraid they might get caught, but I notice that they've hidden themselves inside the backpacks and suitcases.

Later on I'm at home running after Kyrie in a game of tag (and what the freak Kyrie's running so fast I swear she's going to break something) and I hear from the television that Oprah has died from being poisoned, and I wonder if the sneak-in from earlier has anything to do with it. Except the name called out from the TV is Ochah Malfoy, but I recognize it as Oprah anyway.

- (dream after sleeping again after being woken up by alarm) - I'm in a new English class with Ryan and some IV folks that is in a room that looks oddly converted from the chapel at my elementary school. It's bring your own book to class first day and Ryan and I have novelizations of the recent Spiderman movie.

Erica is sitting in front of us, and she says, "Thanks guys, but I think Heart of Darkness is a little too below my reading level," as she pulls out that book plus a bunch of children's picture books from her backpack. Hearing her comment, the teacher snatches Heart of Darkness from Erica's desk leaving her with only the picture books.

And then I'm woken up by Wes knocking on the door.
