Check the CD pocket

I was in a house with a family. They were not my real family, but in my dream they were. I had two brothers.

My siblings and I snuck out of the house to sign up for a summer camp that was located ontop of a floating island. We took the flight up and went to the Welcome Center. We picked out an apartment that was close to where we were, then we pulled out the map of campus and realized the place where we had "classes" was 76 miles away, so we asked for an apartment closer.

My brothers set on their way before me so I was alone to find my way there.

The next thing I know, I see these two really tall and lanky guys walking off somewhere. I want to follow them because they are extremely attractive. A girl, who I know in real life to be one of my coordinators at work, shows up and suggests that we follow them! So we set off following them from a safe distance, I am equipped with my brand new camera.

They round a corner into an alley and as we are rounding it as well, we found out they knew that we were following them. One of the guys says "You are Drew right?" I blush, smile and say "yes." The four of us continue on together.

They stop at this beautiful meadow surrounded by marsh. It is like an oval shaped meadow with tall grass and cat-tails fencing it in. The boys start trying to find tiny critters while I get my camera set up. I take it out of the box and start taking macro images of tiny flowers. Every time I spin the focus button, it puts another, slightly different tiny flower into focus. I scroll through the flowers quickly and it reminds me of a kaleidoscope. I can't believe how beautiful everything is.

I let the girl borrow my camera for a second and I go over to where she is. Right next to her is a tiny tadpole perched on a leaf. As I walk over, it nose dives into the shallow water as if the leaf were a diving board.

I ask for my camera back so I can mess with it. As I'm looking at it closer, I notice it has scratches on it and parts that are missing and compartments that are open. I'm surprised that "newegg" would send me such a thing! I find that the battery slot has 3 different kinds of batteries in it, there is some sticker residue on one compartment and I guess in the attached CD case, there are CDs. I look through the CD's left in the CD pouch and they are all burned CDs from, I guess, the previous owner. At this point the girl comments "oh, I love that firefly song!" (I really hate that song) Then, I find a camera manual from the previous owner that has something written in red pen on it. It says "this is proof that it had a previous owner." My manual was still in the box so I knew I had proof now.
