Odd little dream snippets last night: First one involved me and (a single male companion who I knew at the time but have now forgotten) taking bolt-action rifles on a sniper expedition. I couldn't tell precisely who our targets were, but there was a lot of outdoor woodcraft involved, along with some nifty goggles that could penetrate the trees and brush, leaving them clearly outlined against the snow. With that advantage, we were able to defeat the enemy easily, and didn't even have to kill most of them, taking several captive.

Second part (which may have been the same dream) consisted mainly of me driving my work van around in a vain attempt to find a (the?) library for the passengers on board. This involved going through much of the eastern wilds of Jackson County, for some reason, and dodging stupid drivers/pedestrians, including three teenagers who were smoking while walking down the white line (I could see the cherry quite clearly at dusk), and got out of our way by walking into the other, oncoming lane of traffic. No idea what happened to them, because shortly after that point the cat jumped on me to see if I was awake yet...

Our mission was simple: acquire a dingo at all costs. We was given one hound as possible bait, but this proved optional. The layout was simple.

I could see the lord of the castle through a window, going over his papers and records for the day. The servants had all retired for the day, and the lady of the house was nowhere to be seen. Would she see us? If so, all would be lost.

We breached the perimeter and scouted the lay of the land. I was tasked with actually acquiring the pooch. The bait-and-switch hound had some small difficulty with keeping as quiet as the rest of us, but this was no great impediment. We scaled the wall and let ourselves into the back of the castle grounds. After securing the dingo and leaving the chaos hound as collateral, we retreated from the area.

However, there was the additional possibility of detection when we realized that the gate to the grounds may not have been secured. Another foray was needed, but this proved uneventful as well.

All is successful. ( The dingo has been tethered and awaits ransom. )
