The dream began somewhat strangely - I was with a friend (one of those faceless people, but I knew he was a friend) during a giant rainstorm carrying an Old Town canoe. We were in a university residence - there were patchy water spots around the hall but nothing warranted use of the canoe. Suddently one part of the hallway seemed extremely flooded so we jumped in the canoe and started paddling around - this ‘wing’ of the residence seemed deserted. There were very strange things floating in the water like the magnet from my lab and other scientific instruments.

After canoeing a while we were startled by an authority figure of some type who began to chase us. Apparently canoeing in a flooded residence was in severe violation of the rules. We were forced to perform some acrobatic canoeist acts to escape - eventually ending up in the flooded basement, and crawling out a ground floor window to find that the police had been called to apprehend us.

As we huddled behind a stone fence someone on a balcony up above spotted us and signaled the police. They were on us instantly, but strangely only seemed concerned with snatching my companion - I was able to slip away easily despite the hopeless situation. For some reason at this point I was no longer at a university residence - rather at a private home with slanted angular windows. I slipped inside and then woke up.
