this dream is but a scattered and repieced-together bunch of fragments of a larger dream-
i dreamt that i was in a large square city courtyard that went on for miles, with some shops on one side and a bordering avenue on the other side that went north/south. i walked all over the courtyard until i found an interesting storefront, so i entered and ran into a large audience of people there to see somebody just out of my sight, and in the audience i ran into an old real-life acquaintance speaking with jerry lewis [the muscular dystrophy telethon guy], and jerry seemed to know me from a long time ago, and he warmly greeted me and sat me down to show me some stuff he got somehow from dean martin's family, items such as a denture cup with vaseline-lip marks around the edges, and a wadded up kleenex in the middle. jerry told me that dean wanted him to have this old stuff of his and to show it to certain deserving people, and jerry said i was one of the deserving. after a while we said our mutual goodbyes and then it occurred to me that i should get in a car and drive away from there- so i got in a conveniently available sedan and drove south down the avenue until i got to an underpass which had a double set of barrier doors on it, and as soon as i drew near the doors they suddenly slammed shut, causing me to ram into them and to dent them, which caused them to open again, revealing a perturbed security guard. i promptly got out of the car and apologized for not reacting quickly enough when the doors suddenly closed, but the guard waved his hands as though to tell me to pipe down. then more security guards, 2 females, came up and asked a bunch of questions of nobody in particular, and they argued among themselves before suddenly i found myself out of the car and on an old-fashioned cigarette boat, an old type of speedboat used by smugglers. i was in the boat with alex trebek [the real-life host of Jeopardy!] acting as the pilot. we all were on a body of water that was arranged like city streets, with "intersections" marked by while lines somehow floating atop the water, and stop signs and signals and all that. we had the right of way all the time for some reason that made sense only in the dream. we bounced up and down upon the waves at great speed and leaned left and right with the turns. i then slowly evaporated out of this dream into waking reality.
