Pushing snooze repeatedly makes for disjointed, yet fascinating, dreams

Jessica and I decided we would each make sure the other got up this morning because we have errands to make sure that we run, but alas! We are both victims of the endless-snooze-pushing-disease. (hmm) In the process though, I had a pretty bizarre series of dreams:
First I dreamt that I was wandering around in the science center, and I found this closet with a while bunch of supplies in it - but it was full of excellent supplies! Like Kindles! and touch-screen thingamabobs! and thumbtacks! (In my dream, I really needed some thumbtacks, so I felt really lucky). After going and doing whatever it was that I had needed to do, I went back to the closet because it was full of such interesting things! And this professor (I guess she was a professor; I didn't recognize her in my dream, and I don't recognize her now that I'm awake) came in just as I was playing with the Kindle, and wanted to know what I was doing. I, of course, was like "Wow! Look at this! We have a Kindle! How awesome is that?!" But apparently this was a super secret closet, and students weren't supposed to know about it, so she kicked me out.
I can't remember if I visited the closet before or after this bit - this might have been what I needed the thumbtacks for - but somehow I knew about these tiny people (they were like tiny light people, like... I don't know how to describe them. Like light people. Anyway.) They were stuck inside this classroom, and I had to thread some string through the wall so that they could do something with it, and I could pull the blocks out of the wall... and then they came out! And they were so cool! And someone (perhaps that mean professor person) walked by and she was like "... what are you doing?" just as the light people came out of the wall. It was awesome.

I think that perhaps the light people took me to this really neat place, but there was a little bit of an interlude in which I was a cat. hahahahahaha
For a brief period of time, I was sitting in a medical clinic, and first I was looking at the clinic through a camera that a young boy had (he was making a movie) and then he started to doze off, so I guess I left the point of view of the camera? And that's when I was a cat. But I didn't think of myself as a cat (even though at this point, that's what I was) - I was just another person in the clinic with these people. Then I was poking at a bowl of water, and suddenly it wasn't a bowl of water anymore, it was a river!! And THEN I was myself again, except the cat was still there, so I looked around, and I was in this absolutely fantastically beautiful place with these GORGEOUS rocks everywhere, and there was all this mist -
and then I realized it wasn't mist, it was a lava flow! But it wasn't scary because it was a really high viscosity flow, so it wasn't moving terribly fast, but we did need to get out of the river bed, so I called to the cat and we trotted along until we found a place to cross the river (stopping to look at the beautiful rocks along the way), and then we did find a place to cross, and when we got to the other side, we found a path apparently made by the people who had evacuated from wherever the lava had come from, and there was something interesting and significant about that, that I knew in my dream, but I can't remember it anymore. Sooo, the cat and I went along their trail to find them... and I woke up.

Interesting.
