A gymnast and a road trip

I dreamed I was at my mom and dad's house. I was standing on the second floor balcony (they don't actually have a second story balcony) and watching a gymast get ready to do a stunt. She had a tall platform that reached almost as high as I was and she was going to dive off it it headfirst into the grass. I had my camera because I was going to take a picture. There was a lot going on I kept going in and out of the house, waiting for that moment when she would jump. When she jumped, it was so sudden I almost didn't get my picture. She jumped so fast that when I looked at the picture, it managed to catch the actual movement. When I looked at the picture, I could see her moving from the top of the picture to the bottom, and then it would loop and she would move down through it again, over and over. It was really incredible that I caught the actual action in a picture. Afterwards, the gymnast told me that she was going to have to give up doing her show because she was pregnant, and she was afraid that diving headfirst onto the ground could hurt her baby.

Then I was driving somewhere. I had to follow Erick, but he was starting to get way ahead of me. I got pulled over by the police in Centerville and they were going through all of my things looking for loose cash. They recruited me to help look through other people's things for cash, too. When they finally released me, I realized I was almost out of gas. I didn't know how far away Erick was ahead of me by this time, or even where I was going. I had a feeling it was about forty miles until the next place I could get gas, though. When I got there, I stopped at an auto dealer's place and took Shadow (our dog) inside. Almost immediately he peed on the floor. I put him on his leash and took him outside, where there were rows and rows of plants in washtubs. Shadow peed on the plants, and then drank out of some of the washtubs that were empty, since they were all full of rainwater.

Then Erick woke me up so I don't know how my dream was supposed to turn out.
