Come on! Feel the Illinoise!

I'm in an airport with ... friends, I think (I remember Mel, Kibibi, and the Gat, in the beginning). We're waiting at the terminal in chairs, along with a whole crowd of others waiting for flights, or just arriving from them. There's a big movie screen on one wall, and the airport starts showing a training/instruction slide show for the passengers. The slide show consists of eight(ish) different worst-case-scenarios on an airplane, and we're told to discuss how to deal with and/or prevent them after the presentation. There are no words on the screen, only narration from the pilot or flight attendants and an enactment, in Legos, of these scenarios. A few that I remember: a.) evil terrorists, intending to harm, b.) natural disaster, c.) mechanical failure, and d.) stupid people who accidentally bring explosives on board. I know I already mentioned that these were being enacted in Legos, but allow me to describe further: each slide was actually a blown-up picture of a little Lego man--a different one with different clothes, faces, weapons, and poses for each worse-case-scenario.

When we start discussing, I remember Carter, Abby, Susan, Kovac, and Heleh from ER being there, sitting on the floor in scrubs, and I was discussing how to prevent disasters with them. I then remember the Gat, Mel, Kibibi, the Gat's friend Max, and I think some fellow youth leaders like Bjorn and Heather showing up, and we were all in a circle, seriously brainstorming and passionately debating the best ways to deal with these scenarios. I think these brainstorms might have been going to Washington as potential legislation, too? We were all, ok, we can do this to stop the stupid people, but throw in the terrorists, and that method won't work. We can't just solve a.) or b.), but we need to figure out how to integrate the solutions somehow. At one point I remember agreeing with Carter and Abby, and the Gat and Max were like, that's stupid, come over to our side cuz our ideas are better. And I'm all, but duh, I'm the Carter of the Rock, so we need to stick together.

The next scenes get fuzzy (although these might be the previous scenes cuz I remember my dreams in reverse order), but I remember natural disasters happening outside the airport--specifically, a volcano spilling lava onto people's front porches up in the mountains--and I had to run up the mountains to warn families and my youth group girls.

When I woke up, I was thinking of the word "innocuous." I'm not sure if that's cuz someone used it in my dream, or if I heard it in real life--but whenever I heard it, I thought, I think I know what this word means, but I'm not absolutely sure, so I need to look it up on Monday.
