Last night I dreamed I was living in a very long rancher with my sister, Martin Starr's character from Freaks & Geeks (as our adopted brother), and several other kids. There were lots of bedrooms -- one blue and white with built-in twin beds along one wall; one room with bunkbeds decorated in brown with a Hobbit poster (of one of the dwarves), and several other bedrooms, including one with its own fridge, microwave, and other amenities (it was the largest room).
My sister and I were moving out of one with a gold-framed mirror into the Hobbit room (I believe our parents were the Weir parents from Freaks and Geeks but I'm not sure as I rarely got a glimpse of them).
We were having visitors and when dinner was ready, a lady from CIU showed up, and I went into another bedroom and woke up a man and a boy (my youngest brother) who were watching over a kid with tubes in him.
Then my mom appeared in a red cocktail dress just as the lady from CIU was talking about people who don't know what to wear (and consequently pick things they shouldn't wear). She gave my mom a look and obviously thought she should not be in such a bright red.
I took mom around the house, showed her our room, the sailor room, and the biggest bedroom, sometimes confusing which doors led to which rooms.
We went outside just as a man with three baby carriers (and three babies) was exiting. A friend took one, I took another and left the man with just one. We carried them around the circular driveway and put them near the green grass growing in the middle. We also left some wipes and cream and other baby things with them. The birds were going to deliver them to another destination. Then, I reached down and put a scrabble tile (navy blue with white lettering) on the ground next to all the stuff. I think the letter was a "J". I tried not to cry but my sadness was overwhelming and I had to go inside and calm myself.
I needed a distraction. When lo and behold, James Franco as "Daniel" (more Freaks and Geeks) appeared and wanted help locating his fiancee, who was supposed to marry him in secret that night. We went looking and found an open, tiled room (maybe a Turkish bath type place) with a fireplace -- we talked about how we could distract her father.
Then she appeared and they were halfway through their vows when they got interrupted by her father. We hid in bathroom stalls (I hid behind two that were on a corner, leaving a space behind them) and when he left, I started questioning the bride's intentions. There were jewels missing.
The girl and Daniel began to fight. She wanted to know where the jewels were. He realized she was marrying him for the jewels and not for love, and he got angry and went to her bedroom only to realize she'd hidden all the jewels and was double-crossing her father (as well as nixing the wedding).
Daniel was broken-hearted but before I could help him, I woke up.
