Age 19

I do not remember much about the start of this dream. Somewhere in this dream I become a Catholic priest, and Tom Selick and I are running from two assassins in Mexico. Suddenly we are in a large orchard, and one of the assassins finds us. I point my gun at him, and he drops his and tells me to drop mine, but I tell him to "remove his Colt 45", and he drops a gun out of his coat pocket. We talk for a bit, and he drops his cellular phone into a conveniently-placed freshly-dug hole. He bends down to get it out, and he points out how "like a computer it is" with little glowing orange buttons. (This is probably due to reading an article right before I went to sleep about cell phones based on Windows.) He then repeated everything he had said, as if this scene just looped. This time, every time he meant the word 'previous', he said 'conessiour'. He said, "You remember, I've said all this before" At this point, I put my silver gun to his head and killed him. Tom Selick started talking to me about the possibility to produce a book from our experiences, and I agreed. Behind us we saw the other assassin (Russell Crowe - actor in The Insider, with Al Pacino) and we started running from him. We eventually ran into a huge dark, candle-lit, gymnasium-style Catholic Church, full of Hispanic families. I saw the other assassin, and grabbed him by the shirt, and pulled the trigger three times, but it was out of bullets, so I picked him up, and threw him very hard against a wall, killing him. Tom and I looked around, and saw that many of the Hispanic families and children were looking at us, and he said to me, "guess we can forget about that book deal", and then I woke up.
