- A vast underground city, and I was in some corner of it that looked like an unfinished basement, all uneven dirt floors and bare cinderblock walls. I was there for an IDPA match that Robb Allen had invited me to, and I was thinking, "Man, this ceiling's awful low... double up on the hearing protection for sure."
- A huge cruise ship that departed from this little seaport at the end of a long fjord, and the thing was, you could board it by strapping yourself to an experienced skydiver and tandem-parasailing down onto the deck from these towering cliffs that loomed right over the water at the entrance to the fjord, where it was barely wide enough to accommodate the ship. The person I was with talked me into doing this, which was no mean feat because I do not like heights, Not One Little Bit, so I kept my eyes closed the whole way down until I was safely at poolside on the fantail.

Weird bout of insomnia last night...
...had me up and roaming the house between strange dreams.

Speaking of skydiving:

I never hesitate to share! That was September 10. I have 12 jumps now and I'm doing 10 second free falls from 5,500 feet. I hit terminal velocity of 120 mph. Heights? It's only a mile up! :)
Yah... I wake that way a lot. This morning, it was teaching fan motor operations to a mixed class of high school students and bobble headed adults. The high school students were asleep and the adults were... well... fascinated bobble heads.
Freaky.
The second dream was presumably inspired by that People Are Awesome video you posted yesterday.
Swiss cheese at night will do that to me.

The Morlock Match?
Like Bob said - you've been watching that People Are Awesome video too much.
Steve -- it's not the fall that kills you, it's the sudden stop at the end. :)
No more fried okra and anchovie pizza after 10pm for you, young lady!

Speaking of your second dream, have you seen the video of the guys with the flying suits?
When your eyes are closed during a dream, does it just get dark or does your mind "see" something?

The cruise ship thing is divided; you identify with your fear of tall rocks and stupid stunts -- at the same time you take charge, take control, and competently deliver the part of you that carries the fears. Remember, you are all the people in your dream, the parasailing partner is another side of you that you don't pay enough attention to. Most of us here recognize the competence that doesn't flinch without reason, that is a part of you that you might treasure more.
The setting, of course, is that silly, decadent, playboy stunt clip you shared.
Cheers!
It must have been a dream because you showed up at an IDPA match. ;-)
atlharp,
And why wouldn't I show up at an IDPA (or USPSA, or Bowling Pin, or... well... pretty much anything other than Bullseye, which is a bit too much like having glue injected into your veins for me to enjoy...) match?
(Other than wanting to sleep in on weekends and not having anyone to go with, that is.)
That "fjord with a cruise ship" sounds like Skagway AK, home of one end of the White Pass and Yukon railroad.

So you were in Seattle?
