I was in the farmhouse and heard a deep, sustained rumbling. I wondered: is that the train, or thunder? I went out the front door (which in the dream pointed south), looked to the west, and saw very dark clouds over there. That looks like quite a storm! Better close up the windows. And hopefully the animals in the barn stay safe.

Then I was in the bedroom and lights were shining in the window. I looked out and saw a funny, single train car drove by. It was like a caboose, but with spinning lights shining out like a lighthouse. I thought it was super cool and tried to get a picture of it as it drove away down the tracks (which were in the road, which in the dream was more of a downtown road than a country one), but wasn't quick enough, and only got a blurry picture of the back end of it after it was too far away to look cool.

I went on a hike with Kitaia et al. I think it was still winter, so maybe we were actually skiing. There were some ups and downs and a few turns along the trail, and a parking lot at one end, and for a while I was separated from the group for some reason. It was basically like our hike on the ice age trail in the fall.

A bunch of people were over for a potluck dinner party. I was trying to talk about the lighthouse caboose. Kitaia had brought some jello or something.

Then she w was dragging me around to like a mall. It had a 'must have shoes to enter' sign, and I had only socks on, because I hadn't anticipated going to the mall. She did not relent. So I just tried to keep my feet out of line of sight of any eyes thatt might care. We went straight back from the entrance to a stairwell that went down to the basement with a couple of 90 degree turns to the right. Down in the basement was a restaurant where I was having dinner with Adam and Abe and some other former-EIT workers. I'm on PTO, but don't these other people have jobs to be at right now? Maybe it's lunch break. We used to take those sometimes.
