A dream deferred

Being that I woke up an hour ago, my memory of last night's dream is bound to be a bit off and perhaps out of order and partly re-created, but hopefully I can establish it with some accuracy.

Manifest Content:

I was named rookie of the year of freshmen fellows and I brushed it off like it wasn't a thing. Just anohter reward to add to the resumé.

I gave Arielle back her sweater.

Then I found mysel in Queens, NY by Susan Dauber's place at the train station. There were two trains. One of them had a bridge that crossed the tracks to get to the other train. I didn't usually take this train, but I was trying to take a shortcut. Oddly enough, as I got on the train and it started, it arched around and started going extremely fast the other way. I nearly fell off but latched onto the side and pulled myself up. I remember meeting two girls, possibly fiesty, and we interacted in some way, I remember not how.

Then I found myself in the ocean with two girls, possibly the same ones, but not sure. Each of them had a guy with them. One couple was further away in the distance, so I moved to the closer set. They were playing some game where the girl would throw something into the water and the guy would retrieve it. I made my way over anddecided to intervene and beat the guy to the object, small like a rubber ducky, and returned it to the girl. There is a gap in my memory here about what happened next.

Then I found myself walking with the clearly dark chancellor Palpatine. We made our way to a raft/rowboat amid mucky waters and went aboard. He told me that he could teach me the ways of the dark side and that he had the ability to animate inanimate objects. He proceeded to conjure these noodely skeleton entities from the murky depths. They rose eerily and he told me to strike them down. At that point I was woken up by a phone call.
