Night of July 15-16, 2009

I remember being in an enormous hotel or office building skyscraper, and looking down on a huge roundabout like the Arc de Triomphe but with a large fountain instead. I remember a strange scene where, looking out of the windows on the side at one of the adjacent buildings, it looking run down and bad from one angle and through one pane but then it looked luxurious and rich through another window pane. Surely much later in the dream, I remember being back home in the "room" between the kitchen and the backdoor. There was a spider and somehow and for some reason I had caught it in an awkward fist. I was trying to crush it but I wasn't holding it very well to do that. I finally managed but could feel it writhing while I did. I have no idea why I didn't wake up because normally I'm terrified of spiders. Anyways, I remember that some people (university age) were coming over to stay the night (and maybe even longer). There were two girls and at least one guy. In my room, extra mattresses had been put up against mine to make one very wide bed. The two girls were to sleep with me. I said to myself, "this is the weirdest dream, ever!" at that woke me up.
