Most of my dreams have been boring, nonetheless here are 2 I had on consecutive nights.

The First: I'm in a dim but comfortably lit classroom at a university, windows look outside, it's night-time. There are about 20 of us, we're all spaced about 4 feet apart, digging holes in the floor, the earth is a beautiful reddish color. Maybe we're all students, I don't know. We all take a break, and leaving the classroom I notice a bunch of beautiful, golden-yellow antique bottles and inkwells on a table, I ask about them, and one of the students directs me towards a couple of the other students - their hole, it's a lot deeper than mine, and I'm wondering about it for a moment at first, I fancy myself pretty good at digging holes, but then I consider that there's 2 of them digging together, - still ...

...I want to ask them where they found the bottles, maybe they dug them out of their hole? But they've already left...

...I find an exit to outside, dark, across the main road there's a 24 hour convenience store, I go over to buy (???) but when I get there I've forgotten why I came, it's too bright in here, and I leave...

The Second: I'm driving into Alberta from Saskatchewan, central Alberta, and a few ghost towns in I decide to stop in an old town that had a field on the outskirts that I wanted to walk and look for artifacts in. Drive through the town, a few old buildings, turn off on a sidestreet and drive past the last house onto a range road, this is the field...

...through a large hedge, and then stop, there's a fissure or ravine in the earth on the edge, and looking into it I can see a brightly lit library, ancient columns and arches beneath the field, it's a ceiling of sorts to this subterranean labyrinth, and I stop with my friends (?? Who? Not sure) to snap some pictures, but taking pictures, aiming into the ground, I can't fit it all in, and just before we can descend into it we're surrounded by hordes of people, all coming to the library...
