Dreams

I had a lot of dreams last night. Here are a few of them: The Nightmare in the Making In this dream, the subject was a young girl who was part of my family, although in real life I have no idea who she is. I also had a brother. Anyway, this takes place at night. We're in the house and I'm asleep. I wake up to a noise, which I slowly realize is my sister screaming. I walk outside my door and a hand grabs me and pulls me towards it-this is my sister, who tells me that some creature is crawling on her bed threatening her. I tell her it was a nightmare and go to sleep. At the same time my brother (in real life I don't have one) comes out of his room and mentions something about a creature, though he is calmer. I decide to sleep in my parents' room, locking the door. This happens three more times-the sister wakes up, screaming over and over again, until my parents and I are convinced that this creature is real and if we don't do anything about it, we'll all be killed. We all end up in the same room, afraid to sleep, the sister still screaming about the creature and the brother oddly calm. Terminal Illness A few students were asked by a science teacher to take a trip to a science museum, at which point my boyfriend and I contract terminal illnesses and are placed in care in the museum because, for some reason, they have a hospital. We talk to each other and wonder about going home. It turns out the teacher is responsible for our illness. Beach Front House In this dream, I am talking to my roommate about how we practically have a beachfront house at college; there is a huge body of water with a beach nearby, where the waves are calm and the water a brilliant blue. I end up driving around this area, when I hear from my ex-boyfriend that he thinks I cheated on him when we were together. I disprove this but learn that he now has another girlfriend. Meanwhile another guy in my car decides that he wants to date a girl but isn't sure if he should because he's a junior in college and doesn't want to leave a relationship. Meanwhile, my roommate is upset about living near the water because she doesn't like to swim. She says that water is dirty and unless someone is trying to clean the body of water each and every day, she won't swim in it. I try to convince her that swimming is fun. I show her how blue the water is and how close we are to the water. She is still unconvinced. My ex-boyfriend goes off with his new girlfriend and me and another student try to convince the junior guy to ask the girl he likes out, because he has a year and a half before he leaves, and he'll figure out what to do if the relationship is really worth it. Trip to New York As a continuation of the previous dream, the Junior guy, the other guy (who is apparently from Pakistan), and I have to go to New York City for work. We board a large boat (rather like a smaller version of a cruise ship) only to find that the captain is gone. I decide to drive the boat, and end up navigating through narrow streams, unsure of where to park. Someone tells me that I have to park in Brooklyn, across the river from Manhattan, so I dock the boat and tie it, and a few of us board the subway. On the subway we purchase tickets back, and we also try to refill our metro cards. One guy's metro card gets stolen as soon as he fills it by some guy who intends to sell it for more money. As a result, this first guy doesn't have enough money to pay for his destination across the river into Manhattan. He decides to jump off the train at the bridge. The conductor tells him that it's fine and that he shouldn't jump off, but he does, to the horror of the other passengers. As a result, the remaining passengers and I hide our money and metro cards more carefully. Manhattan is in a state of disrepair, rather like 80's Manhattan that was full of danger and drugs and run-down areas. None of us feels safe upon exiting the train.
