i was going on a trip into some sort of frozen waste/jungle place. meaning that sometimes it was a frozen waste, but sometimes it was a jungle. you know how dreams can be. anyway, apparently, that nick lachey guy or something was going, too. he was going to have to leave his wife behind, though. there were some other people that were going, but i don't remember who they were. we were going on some sort of medical mission or possibly a scientific study mission. it was going to be very dangerous.

when we left, it was on a wooden boat. really ancient looking. there were monsters or something that we had to beat (it was really left up to me to do this), and then collect pieces to a puzzle that would help us gain access to wherever we needed to go.

at some point, we ended up in some ice caves. something happened in there, but i can't remember what it was.
