Some batshit insane dream i had

I had a dream that Alan and I were walking through the new Daily Illini building with Brian Johnson (U of I Photojournalism Professor) and like my parents and a bunch of other people. At one point he stopped and started saying just to me and Alan, that he was concerned about what was going to happen to the photojournalism program when he goes up into space next week. He was about to break down emotionally when my dad came up to us very awkwardly and started pitching a movie idea about like sea monsters and a submarine or something. He had a flow chart and all these diagrams about how the movie would work. I told him that this wasn’t the best time and that we were talking about important lab stuff and that he should go talk to mom for a little bit or something. He just kept going with the movie pitch though. It was really awkward at first but then we all realized that he was just trying to make us all laugh via his zany and improbable movie idea and then we all had a good laugh about it. Then we walked into another area of the building and some guy started revealing these snakes and weird gremlin like things out of baskets. He would take the lid off of a basket and the thing would hiss and then he’d pucker his lips and the thing would give him a kiss and go back into the basket. I thought to myself that this was a bad idea and that I could see a horror movie starting this way. Then this weird queen gremlin thing descended from the ceiling and the lighting went all red and fog machines went off or something. Then everyone was afraid and such and the queen gremlin walked off with Brian Johnson and handed him a semi-cute baby gremlin. I had the feeling that he had betrayed us all, but only to save the little gremlins from being eaten by the queen.
