DOS gorillas
I was on the roof of an industrial/office building. A short, cast iron fence separated me from Dexter (of Dexter's Laboratory, which was probably on my TV while I was dreaming: I sleep with Cartoon Network on), and Dee Dee was sitting right across from me. Dexter had on a knight's armor, and Dee Dee was wearing a bunch of pillows. I don't know what I had for protection, but I did need some: baseballs were being hurled at us. Dee Dee never got hit by any of them, but Dexter and I came awfully close to getting knocked unconscious from them. I watched one of the balls bounce over my head and another go asunder through space and land near the tires on my car, thankfully doing no damage. So basically I was stuck in that DOS game called Gorilla that's on the gallery computer; each player takes turn launching things at his/her opponent, and it supposedly helps you learn physics or something. I could be making that last part up, but hypothetically you should be able to learn something about trajectory from it.
I was in someone's basement, and I went into a secret room with no roof. Sunlight streamed down, and there was a ladder leading up. There were a bunch of paint cans, pesticides, and other miscellaneous stuff cluttering the way. Something black was hanging down like moss, but not as drippy. I wasn't really grossed out by it, but I did yell at my mom, "Sorry, Mom. I know you hate this room." Then I went to the ratty couch from the late 1970s and curled up with a knit blanket that reminded me of fuzzy sweaters. It was mostly pine-green, but also speckled with bright colors. There were a bunch of board games on a coffee table nearby, including Mom's and my favorite--Bargain Hunter. Mom wasn't "there," I don't think, but I still talked to her.
I saw a set of "Four Seasons Planters": a jack-o-lantern, a snowman, a floral scene, and something else hanging on a porch.
