I'm preparing to ride up a big hill on a bicycle. Everyone else is going up the hill, some people are going down. People going up on bicycles, walking, and even in cars. The roads are distinguishibly Japanese, but the cars are driving past me on the left side of the road, and towards me on the right -- American style. I eventually think, what makes me different is I'm on roller blades -- and lo and behold I've gone from bicycle to roller blades...
On my way up I'm completely alone, but I know at the top there are tons of apartments with people I know in them. (I must have gone grocery shopping, or something lol. I do recall maybe I was holding bags.) So I came down, and I'm going up again, because I live there. (Note about the apartments, when I was writing about them after I woke up from this dream, I remembered the dream with the school, and the tree. I don't think that it's a different place. These apartments are the same apartments where my boyfriend, a crush, and I lived. The apartments are on top of a HUGE hill, and from said crush's balcony, I remember it being very high -- although I never really looked at it. It was just something I knew.)
On my way up the hill, I was also contemplating... I remembered 2 things out of 4... Or rather I connected 2 out of four...
Love gives us the power to live.
Friends are always there for us... (There was more to this.)
There were 2 more principles...
The meaning of the dream is extremely obvious to me. (Please note that this was originally an e-mail written to a friend. All personal names are taken out, so, if it doesn't make any, or little sense. Sorry.

In the second dream:
Above mention crush was coloring a picture I drew. I gave him 2 crayons (one was DEFINITELY labelled 'PEACH' the other one was like a light tannish brown.) and said, "The only condition is you have to use these as my skin color." He stared at them for a moment and then said, "I have to use them for mine too."(This is how I wrote it, right now I think he may have said, I was going to use them for mine too... But that's how I wrote it. Huh...) Then I touched him on the arm and said, "That's what you get for having the same skin color as me."
I also remember something about a fish tank with mushrooms in it????? And old lady talking about them. And reading a news paper with my (first) ex's name in it, about something he did for someone else.
