I rarely remember dreams. When I woke up this morning (3 minutes ago) I said, "holy shit... it happened!" I grabbed a piece of paper to see how much I could remember. I went to the bathroom then told my roommate, IMed Rubin saying "Omg just dreamt about another player" and sat down to do submit this proof. This is everything that I remember, which isn't much:

I was riding/driving/walking or otherwise "moving" southbound on Hiawatha near I-94. It was as if I got on it from 35W southbound, a familiar route for me as it's towards my home. Near the first stoplight or so I noticed a large vehicle - almost like a tractor pulling a large trailer meant to store hay with a bunch of SFZero players in it. Perhaps they were on a hay ride. They were Bay Area players, not Minnesota players. I don't exactly remember all who was there but it reminded me of the group I spent time with at NIMBY on the Sunday I was in San Francisco last. I believe Nicolery Hierophen was there but Heather Mooflyfoof was for sure. I yelled out in some form of greeting to them, they cheered back and Heather asks me "Guess where I just was?" I shrugged and didn't know. She said "Canada!"

She then proceeded to tell me about some weird thing she was doing with an inner-tube but it went over my head and I don't remember exactly what was going on. She said "I need to show you something." Where I was changed but I'm not sure it's important.

I'm now a passenger in a larger vehicle, like an old truck. She was driving. At this point I started to understand what she was going to show me - something about riding an inner tube quickly down a flat trail. We get to this place - it felt like rural Minnesota - where there is a public trail I had not seen before next to a lake. It's late autumn. The trail is long, flat and straight.

She brought a large silver trunk that had a green plastic mesh over the top. I was testing the fasteners on it to make sure it was closed. It sat at the trailhead next to the road while she was preparing the inner tube.

Lexibles was there too, laughing about what was going on. She is a comfortable friend to have around and I felt good about her being there because I don't really know Heather at all. I've known Lexibles pre-SF0, but more recently have kept in contact with her via SF0 while she is in Japan... so I'm not surprised she shows up in my SF0 dream.

There is a random couple with a dog heading towards us on the trail. I realize that Heather will be slightly delayed in her demonstration until this couple makes it to us.

I notice near the trailhead, off about 5-10 meters there is an owl sitting on the ground with a bunch of piled up grass or something on its back. I make the assumption that it is there because people store stuff in it. It is out in the open so anyone could take something from it and put something back. I make a joke to myself "heh, I could kill that owl for SFZero" but realize it'd be pretty lame to nab that one.

Heather makes a mistake and makes the inner tube "go" unwillingly. This is the dramatic part: It glides across the ground at an incredible speed but shoots off at a 45 degree angle from the trail and crashes into a tree - right as this couple was approaching with their dog.

It was almost as if the dog interfered with the "magic" of this inner tube she was riding as the dog's leash was right where the tree was she crashed into. The couple was still holding one end of the leash and the dog uncontrollably went over to the owl and started barking at it.

Not sure why that all made sense at the time.

I woke up right then.

Now a side note here - I'm a bit freaked out that I was dreaming about Heather because I only met her once - very briefly. We didn't really say much beyond introductions. She was busy practicing poi while I spent most of my time that evening talking with Rubin, Nicoles, Rabbit, Bananachunks and non-SF0 players. I hope she's not too freaked out. I'm a little freaked out honestly. Such are dreams, though. Also, my sister is in Canada right now. Weird.

Update: I just remembered that last night I had seen the player photograph of Heather as one of the thumbnails on the SFZero front page right before I went to sleep - it reminded me of my day at NIMBY. This very likely helped spawn this dream.
