I already forgot this morning's dream, but I sat in bed for a bit yesterday to remember the dream I just had, so I do recall parts of it.
I was taking part in some road trip somewhere. However, some of us were meeting at a restaurant where people were playing chess and eating. I was watching one of the games, wondering if I should join in when I decided that I should get going. I had started heading out but realized I forgot something and went back into the restaurant. The eating area was full of people, but it started to rain outside, so I rushed out to the car. Instead of taking the concrete path, I decided to run across the artificial pond. The pond was shallow (several inches), but there were these metal pads a centimeter under the water that criss-crossed the pond and allowed me to take this short cut without getting my feet (too) wet.
Some other girl was following me, but I quickly outdistanced her by hopping the pads.
I found myself in my car and was driving at night on some city street. The street lights passed by and I looked up at the sky to see the constellation Orion quickly ascending in the sky. As soon as the belt appeared with the star Sirius, the entire constellation began to warp and appeared on the roof of my car. Other stars appeared underneath and indicated that it was some sort of navigational program. I thought that it was really neat, but not particularly useful for where I was going.
I headed into a brightly lit tunnel which turned into some sort of foyer. I found myself running through, trying to get out of the building and slowly wound my way through the corridors as the environment slowly degraded from majestic arches to a small cleaning closet. The window was ajar, so I was able to scoot outside, but found a baby in a basket. For some reason I thought I was Michael J. Fox.

Well, nothing much interesting happened at broomball. That is if you exclude the fact that everybody and their dog decided to show up today! I personally did not do too well. The new wrist brace I had did not fit under my broomball glove, so I had to play without it. I think my stick handling abilities suffered a bit because of that.
Afterwards, I went to go shopping for some soy, and came across a few people trying to get a car unstuck. Some guy had driven his Hyundai Sonata on top of a snow embankment while trying to cross the median in the parking lot. The snow was about two feet high, and the car got stuck. I grabbed my floor mat and tried to place it under the tire, but when the tire caught the mat, the power got diverted to the other wheel which had no traction! Each time we got one wheel to grip, the other would spin. From the angle of the car, it looked like most of the weight was on the rear right tire of the car and on the snow embankment itself.
We tried to push and pull the car without luck. Lifting and pushing down made no difference. Eventually, some guy came by with a huge jack and lifted the front of the car enough that we could push the car back off the embankment. However, it was not enough and the car was still stuck. I went into the store to look for a shovel to get rid of the snow, but had no luck. By the time I got out, the car was free. Apparently they lifted the front even more and was able to push the car over the embankment.
Ah well, a lesson learned for the kids that were driving the car. (It was their dad's car.)
