After I woke up this morning I went back to sleep and had this dream:

I was with some old dude; he was showing me how to get around. There were these cobblestone blocks that you could jump between, each smaller than the last, and as you jumped you'd also become smaller, to match the scale of the blocks. The first block had what looked like a manhole entrance on one end, and the entire block could be flipped. The manhole had to be facing up to be able to get in and out of this place.

Later I dreamt that I was playing SMP Minecraft and Sarah and Hannah were in the game with me. Someone told us about 'fake polling places with monster traps', where you'd stand next to the door to get in (these polling places were always small wooden plank structures with a few squares of wooden sidewalk and what I imagined as looking like a welcome mat in front of the door) and then a zombie or a creeper would pop up and kill you. They said there was one on the East side of the sea, near where I'd been building some houses and stuff. I made a mental note to avoid such places.

I asked Sarah and Hannah if they wanted to go on a walking adventure, wich meant we'd walk West as far as we could (at the moment we were halfway up a hill on the West side of the sea near some structures that some other people had made. There was a road that went South, past a forest of giant mushrooms that I just then noticed. We started walking along it, towards a more regular forest. As we walked I looked a t a bunny near the path, and thought about how similar it felt to looking at bunnies while going for a walk in real life.

After entering the forest we came to a 2-lane paved road. It looked like a lot of work went into building it. We followed it Westward, where it crossed another road on which a truck drove by, and then turned North and led us up near the top of the hill where there was a door into a mostly underground building. We went in.

This place turned out to be the new town hall, and it was packed with people. There were some very nicely made maps of the area on the wall, with the building we were in being up in the top right and the sea being down the middle. There were pins stuck into the map to mark points of interest (such as the monster trap polling place) and strings between them that indicated something I couldn't figure out.

While I admired the maps, people in the room (it was a cyllindrical room with a skylight and stadium seating) were arguing about something. It seemed evenly split, the people for and against, and they were getting pretty upset/excited. I don't know what it was about, though. I ran into someone whose avatar looked like Sara Byrnes and asked if they were she. "No, I'm JJ Pitman.", they replied. I knew that name from somewhere...

We made our way back out of the building, admiring some glass windows that could be slid in and out on the way. We walked up onto the roof (which was level with the ground in every direction except East) and found that there was a blue, 2-spiked jelly monster on top of the hole in the ceiling, serving as the window for the skylight. We kept our distance as we walked past. As we walked West (no more than a few 10s of meters from the jelly monster), I noticed that it was suddenly very foggy, and the cows nearby were weird colors. And then everything became distorted and colorful and we were thrown back near the jelly monster. We wandered East for a while, along what seemed to be the North edge of the map (the plateau extended Eastward for a bit, to near the sea), and found a gateway. I tried to walk through, past the edge of the map, but everything on the other side was in shades of gray, and it threw me back, too. I figured this was something the town hall people had set up, but I didn't know how they could've done it on my server. It was making it hard to have off-map adventures. Annoying.
