There was no presiding Priesthood member on the stand, yet the meeting had started. There was no music, no prayer, and the first speaker was a young Elder. When he took a microphone, music started playing...a radio station, commercials and all. He felt uneasy, the speaker. He started singing along, making jokes. People in the congregation were laughing and applauding. He didn't like how this was, so he went to try and fix it. But he never came back, and it never got fixed.
No one knew what to do, no one knew who would speak next. Awkward radio-noise-filled silence. Little children started going up to the stand to bear testimony. One boy, when he got to the microphone, got really nervous and started blubbering, "Hub bub bub bub." The child's brother went to go get him down, but then he cried out, "I know that scriptures keep us strong in the faith!" And yet his brother yanked him away and forcefully threw him back into his seat.
I was just appalled at how the meeting was going. Another little girl was sitting on the stand waiting to get enough courage. Still the radio station streamed in the background. I went up on the stand and asked her what she would like to say, what she knew she believed. She wasn't sure. But she went to the pulpit and as she walked away the dream faded to an end...
Also (I had watched Ice Age II earlier this night)
My cousin and I got a call from our apparent World Saving Co-agents, that we needed to go to a school and capture two ancient dinosaur swimming creatures in the world attached to its basement....(yeah...I don't get it either) So, with our small hand bags of world saving tools, we made our way to the school, which was merely a large stadium. At one point I looked out a window and saw this world we were supposed to enter. It was so large, I couldn't even see its curves. I just saw blue and white swirling sky so nauseatingly close I could reach out and poke it.
We made it to an elevator and there were lines of children following their teachers in the hallways, wondering what we were doing, hoping someone would save their world...basement...something. I got in the elevator. It was very small and suddenly my hand bag was much bigger, as was my cousin's, and as she tried getting in, the doors of the elevator closed on her hand, and her bag was left on the floor above. Once we got to the selected third floor, we decided we needed to get her handbag back, but we had no idea which floor we had started on. As we considered what to do, the principal came down and handed my cousin her missing bag and rushed back into the elevator and was gone.
We turned and saw glass walls as far as we could see. Inside was the world, starting at the ocean bottom. We somehow made it through some sliding glass doors without letting any water out and started for our prey...They appeared soon and somehow we go the one, no problem, basically took it apart and used a tiny part of its body as bait for the next monster. Somehow we knew that the other fish monster knew that it could save its friend by getting this one body part. It looked like a little squishy, red gumdrop. We baited it with big camouflage nets. It came, full unsuspecting speed ahead, to grab the bait. As it squirmed inside the trap nets, the dream wriggled from my mind.
Nice.
