This dream comes in 3 parts.
Part 1:
In the first part, my neighbor asks if I'd like some help on planting a few plants in my front yard. I accept his offer, and then go inside to get some tools. When I come back out, he has build this concrete sidewalk monstrosity that looks quite a lot like an escher painting. it has a weird "security feature" at the front door, where i have to walk down some steps, then up some steps, then up some more steps (at a right angle to the other steps), and then JUMP to the other side to get to my front door. Which is now, by the way, about 8 feet in the air.
Additionally, he has put in pylons and created a sidewalk that goes all the way around the house, but up above the rooftop. It's insane! But I thank him for it, because he plainly put in a lot of effort. I question the sidewalk up in the air for not having any railings, and he says he'll get to work on them. I start to walk into my house (down, up, up + 90o,...) and I'm shifted through time.
Part 2:
I find myself in a room with several other people. We're apparently refugees in time, and this particular spot in time is kind of the tide pool of time. It's where all of the trash w/o a time-destination gets dropped. So, we're kind of milling about, and I find a few things in the room we're in (like some porcelain dishware, some kind of tablet computer, some magazines and colored pens - this was a lot clearer when I first woke up). I get the idea that the next room over is some kind of interrogation room, and decide I want to check it out.
Side story (knowledge I had in the dream):
Travelling through time ends up giving you a distorted view of what could be at a given time. So, you get these snapshot memories of possible other "futures" mixed in with your memories. And, because you're still completely covered in time, sometimes you end up switching between the times without knowing.
Part 2 (continued):
So, we lock the door to the room that we're in, and i have a guy at the door turn off the lights in the room for 4 seconds while i peek through the window that's shuttered into the other room. I just get a brief glance but, it appears that the next room over is a room much like ours, with peope much like us. When the lights come back on, the shutters are in place again, and I decide to get the hallway.
The hallway now has soldiers in it, which makes me realize that I've slipped sideways in time; the guys that picked me up before were very kind chinese folks, and these are latin guerilla-looking soliders. When I look back into the room, as well, it only has one other person in it - the dude that was operating the light switch for me. For some reason, we're both holding things from the last time-space; me, the tablet computer, him, a cup. I think that's why we slipped through time - force exerted on us from these objects.
So, we sneak out of the room.
Part 3:
We're in a garage, and we plan on shifting time again. But I want to take something valuable with me. There's a hacksaw and a few vehicles, so I get to the process of stealing the mufflers, for the palladium in them (??). The valuable part of the mufflers turns out to be in some weird brown bags inside of the mufflers, and so we grab those and I pick up the tablet computer (which turns out to be a time-slipping device).
I press a few buttons with my fingernail, ...
and that's when I get a text message from Mello and wake up.
