The Italian Vacation Dream of 3/18/04

Last night's dream involved myself vacationing on an Italian island. The island was chock full of surfers because it was getting all kinds of crazy big waves. I just rode my bike to the beach to stand there and look at the waves with my friends, but a storm kicked up and we had to head inland. My friends all piled into a car, but for some reason the driver took on some hitchhikers, which meant that there was no room for me and someone else (random guy; I don't even know how he figured into the dream at all). I ended up walking inland with my bike and two other people; one was a friend during my first year of law school and the other was a summer associate with me. It was cool because the storm created enormous waves that you didn't even have to be on the beach to see. I remember being nervous about walking through some dark, wooded areas, but other than that it was a good dream. I didn't even mind so much about getting ditched by my friends with the car; although I was annoyed by it at the time, I didn't mind being rid of them either. I don't know who they were supposed to be because I didn't connect them up to anyone in my real life.
