puppets, crayons and New Year's

It begins with a puppet coming to shore on a row boat in a stony lake. On the shore are many other puppets with legs, and the leader puppet gathers them and stands on a rock above them with the lake in the background. He gives them an inspirational speech to leave the island. Then some ppl come and the dream focuses on them. I am one of these people and the others are some of my high school friends. We spend a good part of the dream waiting at cross walks and crossing roads. and finally we come to Kristen's house. I was supposed to have lived there for a short amount of time and brought much of my stuff there, but never actually stayed. She told me to collected what i wanted. A lot of it was junk and i was mumbling how she shouldn't bother and should just through out my stuff, i didn't want it any more. Except i found a crystal ring. that was nice enough. and some pencil crayons, but they were all nubs. not much left, but i figured i could still salvage them. then i went into the kitchen and Nio and Jen were there among others and i was wondering where we should go for New Year's. Everyone there, was quite unenthusiastic, and said they didn't plan on celebrating it this year. Strange, I thought. But i remembered that Ana had invited me out, so that's where i was headed i guess...
