Dream on 9/11/10

This one was kind of short, but interesting because it pertained to what happened just before I went to sleep. At the Inflatable Games night, they had a rock climbing wall outside the Field House. I didn't actually go on it, but it looked pretty sweet. I think I had also talked about climbing with someone recently, so I think that's what prompted the dream. In the dream I was set up at the climbing wall, but it was daytime. I tried climbing the first part, I don't remember specifically what it was, but I want to say it was some weird sort of rope I had to shimmy up, and for whatever reason it wasn't working. I could have done it, but the rope or whatever it was was broken so it didn't work. I decided to go up the other way though, which was this huge, upwards zig-zagging path covered in these little plastic things. They would have looked something like this ===O== but were vertical. They reminded me exactly of the little plastic connector bits from chemistry sets that they use to model chemical compounds. I know exactly how they should have felt (and it should have been a little unpleasant) but I just climbed right up them and didn't really physically notice the texture at all. I find this interesting because this isn't the first dream I've been conscious of how something should have felt, but my dream self doesn't actually feel it at all.
