This dream was really quite long, but all I remember is the ending of it...
*** Dreamt June 30 - July 1, 2008 ***
Whatever the other events in the dream were, they culminated in there being a snowboard competition that was being put-on by the University. My favorite teacher in the Computer Science Department - Dean Mathias - was doing some of the officiating, and was in charge of the event to some extent (other teachers had to keep asking him questions about what was going on and about rules and stuff).
The competition was more or less a "Best Trick" competition, except that you actually got to do several tricks on a single run. The competition was being held right outside old main where this HUGE ramp (which was FAR to big to actually fit in the QUAD in real life) had been constructed. The apparatus was made of wood and was enormously tall on each of the two sides with a huge dip in the middle that had several jumps made out of snow in it. People would start at the top and snowboard down, gaining speed until they hit a jump, at which point they'd throw some huge trick, then land and prepare for another huge jump, then eventually they'd start to slope up and they'd end up at the top of the other side (obviously friction was not a factor here).
I did my run and apparently did quite well (I don't actually remember my run) because Dean was congratulating me...it was at this point in the dream that Dean no longer looked like Dean, but instead looked like Ben Linus from Lost; this wasn't frightening or upsetting in anyway in my dream, because it was just Dean, but in retrospect it was definately Ben playing the part of Dean.
Anyway, right about then my friend Alisha Geary showed up!! We were all really relieved because we hadn't been sure if she was going to show up in time to complete, but she made it in the nick of time. As her run began, the camera angle of my dream changed to an overhead view of Alisha, so I could see her run really well, and it was INCREDIBLE!! She only hit one jump, but as she went off it she threw her head back to begin the rotation for a double backflip, she made it through the first but in the second she lost her momentum and kindof got stuck upside down. Then, defying all physics, she tucked her head and reversed the direction of her flip mid-air so she came back around and landed it cleanly. The crowd was going crazy!!
She came over to me and I said, "Holy cow, Alisha, that was awesome! I didn't think you were going to be able to recover from the second flip, but then you somehow got the board back underneath you!!" She looked just a little miffed, but still happy. Apparently my lack of confidence in her being able to pull out the second flip was the wrong thing to have told her. We went over to Ben-Dean and the other judges to see how they were going to rank her, but they decided that since she was school faculty that she couldn't rightfully be in the competition. They then decided instead to instate her as a judge to represent the city of West Point (my home town).
