Dream 2011.12.27

We were driving in our old 1987 Dodge Colt Vista (from the looks of the interior) that we used to have. In this reality apparently it was my car. I had loaded things like my entire SNES collection into it and I guess we were going on a long road trip. I was driving and eventually we had to go back somewhere so I began driving up this ramp at ever increasing speed. Eventually we made a jump and I had to lean forward hard in order to level the car out. This was the entrance to some sort of heavily populated water park, and I knew the people would get out of the way when the car came. After that, my grandma and my older brother were coming along too so I had to clear out a lot of the stuff I had packed into the car. (For some reason we were right by our house.) We now had to hurry because my dad had some sort of business engagement he had to get to. Soon it was night, and I was floating down an artificial river with high current. My store manager said something to me as I passed. I got up on the risers at the side and dove back in, but wildly overshot my intended trajectory. I landed at the edge in a whirlpool* and rolled my face but didn't get injured. I got to the end and saw a frictionless, water-coated beach volleyball court. I couldn't stop myself so I ran all the way to the net and hoped to be sprung back. After a while I was floating in this conical *whirlpool made of sand. I got out and went to some sort of indoor stage area right next to the river. I was informed that the next act was a local guitar player/singer that I was familiar with but he wasn't very good. There was a pack of about 7 crazed hipsters singing along a couple rows behind me and doing all the motions to the songs. I was back in the river after hearing about a movie that was coming out which was a sequel to a very similar movie. I had a Chinese takeout box and was experimenting with submerging it upside-down and then feeling the air bubble underneath. Soon I could put my head in the box too, and for some reason I was able to breathe while submerged and just having expelled the air from my lungs. When my head was in the box I was watching the movie. It began with clips of people talking about lying, and then there was a '70s style game show where two polygraph answers were compared with the aid of large graphics overhead. It ended when one person didn't truthfully tell the same answer or something. It was somewhat dramatic. My coworker was freaking out because he was being shot at by tanks with missiles. He was playing Resident Evil and he was 10 or 15 feet up in the air. We were reviewing stills of the missiles coming at his point of view but then we realized those were the wrong ones and there were others. We were in his house and there was a jet being fired at and it started to zoom out and freeze on this jet dogfight scene of chaos, and it was playing a really catchy theme song. Our friend started trying to play along on the piano and got in tempo after a while. I thought this was the Evangelion theme song but it wasn't.
