Soap Opera: Combat

I am in a raging battle where everyone is running around with huge weapons. Many people have these massive shotguns. I am running around like crazy and my team is doing very well. Suddenly things start to get messy. I have an ear piece in and my commander tell me to watch out for that girl. She has this huge shotgun. I am instructed to stay behind her. I can't move quite fast enough and she shoots me in the back.

It pierces me and I slowly fall as a shriek comes from my mouth. I start bleeding and things go a little red. My best friend falls next to me and screams even louder. She is bleeding really bad and I try to comfort her. Things are not good. My friend is fading and I am starting to as well. Then the director yells CUT. I stand up and wipe the dirt off my face. People are applauding and we walk away feeling good about the season finale to our soap opera.

I get all cleaned up and walk away with my fellow soap friends. I say that I hope that I am not being killed off because I love my job. I guess that I am a soap opera star. WOOT.

Visiting Professors

I am sitting in a hospital on the GAC campus. On the top floor, I sit in my bed peering out the window looking at Mattson Hall. I see all the young education students scurrying to class. There are my favorite professors, Jill and Mary, greeting the students and smiling their motherly smiles. I miss being there so much. As I continue to peek out around the curtains, Jill catches my eye. I quickly throw the curtains back in place and hope that she didn't see me. A knock at my door brings Jill and Mary to visit. They smile, but look very concerned. They bring tons of questions why I am in the hospital. I explain that I am not sick at all, but am simply living here temporarily. They ran out of rooms in normal dorms and have moved me here. It is quite comfortable although it is strange to be in a hospital. They smile and we chat for a while. They leave and I realize how special they are. They will always make me smile. YAY for GAC.

Skiing Fun

I am in the mountains preparing to ski. I grab my skis and take a test run to let everyone else I am with know how it is. I prepare to go and see the ski lift, which was extremely fast and scary. It comes and from behind you grab onto the seat and boost yourself over the seat to sit down. This seems impossible with skis, but then I realize this is for the tubers. So I breathe a sigh of relief.

I reach the top and begin to go down. Having not skied in over three years, I was a little shaky. I went down a steep hill and had a little trouble cutting. As I pick up speed, I almost lose it, but end up making it down to the bottom. I head inside to grab my friends and a bite to eat. The ski lodge looks very similar to Powder Ridge, where I spent many Friday nights participating in the Bethlehem Ski Club.

We get back on the slopes and I am with some friends. There are four of us including KB. We start racing down the hill and when we hit a slow spot we attack each other to try to be the first back to the lift. The fresh snow was amazing. Oh happy days!!

New Teaching Job

I have suddenly gotten a new teaching job in a 4th grade classroom, but the kids actually seemed a lot older. Several of my students knew me from dance and camp. One was a friend, Forrest, who is definitely a lot older.

In the class, I had no idea what was going on. It was the first day of school, but it didn't feel like it because the kids had projects to turn in and there was their previous teachers stuff in the classroom. I guess that the previous teacher had suddenly died and that is whom I got this job from. The whole day I was flustered. I didn't know the schedule at all and the kids were crazy. They had these bacon pamphlets to turn in and present. I had a couple of the kids go and then we stop to play a game. The kids didn't listen and the game went terribly. In general it was a very stressful day. I even forgot to let the kids go to lunch!! I hope this isn't how my real first day is when I get a job.

Personal Hot Air Balloon

A mother is here to put on a show on how to save her daughter. They light off an elaborate fireworks show to start off the saving. A huge final firework pushes her large red umbrella into the air. She flies through the air and grabs her little girl. As they come to the stopping point they cannot slow down and end up crashing into the road.

Later we got to play with flying ourselves. It was now my turn to fly. We start in this old warehouse and they light off a huge firework to send me into the skies. I hold onto my cloth hot air balloon. The hot air speeds me towards the cloth roof. I stop near the ceiling and eventually break through the roof. I start soaring through the cloudy sky. The clouds are a yellowish color. I break through the first level of clouds to enter a creepy world that is all yellow. There are flashes of lightning in the distance. I eventually come down back to normal life.

My second turn at flying and the skies are clear blue. I shoot through warehouse and break out into the clear sky. As I soar over the evergreen world, I look down to say hi to friends camping. I see Laura and let out some of my hot air to get lower. I yell hello and then soar off back into the sky. I see another friend, Bethany, and get even closer to her. I am excited to see my beloved friend and amidst my excitement I lose too much air. I fall to the ground and have to start running in order to get a little more height. My flying days are now over.

Steak at Camp

Once again my dreams bring me to camp. I set off on the overnight with a group of campers. We were given a set of steaks to prepare and later bring back to camp after they are finished. My group did not get a camp stove so we attempted to cook the steaks over a little fire. This did not work one bit. We head back to camp with basically raw steaks.

It comes time to show off our steaks in front of the whole camp. I slowly walk to the front and cut a piece of my steak. Blood squirts out and I almost start crying. All of the rest of the steaks area absolutely perfect. They cut each one and show it to the crowd. They oooh and aaaaah. Then mine comes and people wince! So I guess can't make steak. haha

Unusual Backpack Trip

Back at camp, I am preparing to go on a backpacking trip with three campers and a guide. The guide is from our rival/enemy camp (haha). The guide is a very attractive. He has light brown shaggy hair and a great smile. He is funny and instantly flirtly with me despite the presence of the campers. We sit in the cabin gathering our belongings. I tell the campers to not bring a lot. I run up to a different cabin and say goodbye to a friend. This "friend" is Mike from Desperate Housewives. (what the hell?) I am crying and don't want to let go. Then I run back down to grab my stuff. The hot guide offers to go grab my sleeping bag, but I claim that I have something else to grab as well. (What is this mystery item I must grab??? I have no clue)

The road back to the cabin turns into a river and I dive in and swim a bit. Just along the side of the river there are trains racing by. I have to catch the next train and am swimming as fast as I can. I grab my sleeping bag and forget the mystery item. I sprint back and jump onto the train as the doors shut. The guide smiles and grabs my stuff from me.

On the train I play a joke on the guide and he ends up jumping and ripping a hole in pants on the front of the leg. The girls and I laugh hysterically at our guide. He just smiles and gives me a silly look. Later I whisper sarcastically in his ear how sorry I am that I made him rip his pants. He scowls and play hits me. We arrive at a ranch that seems deserted. We wait for our hosts to arrive and let us in. They finally arrive on a large red coach that nearly hits us. We head inside and the guide pours me a chocolately alcohol drink.

A Visit from Jon

A group of friends are living out in the country, possibly on a farm. We get word that our friend, Jon, is about to visit. We are overfilled with joy. We are all in the mindset that he has come back to life or has been found alive. (Both of these are impossible)

He arrives in a tie dye shirt and a huge smile on his face. We all run at him and he dodges us as a joke. I run up to him and he pokes me and then grabs me and gives me a huge bear hug. I am so happy to be in his arms again. Later he takes me on a motorcycle ride. Can you picture Jon on a motorcylce? Well let me introduce you to Biker Jon!

It is now night time and Jon is flying. He comes and grabs my hand and pulls me into the air to fly along with him. I grip his hand for the fear of falling is very present. We dodge flying boards and Jon looks at me with his quirky smile and lets me know that things will be fine. I know that Jon is not alive during this part of the dream. He knows it too, but things are peaceful as we fly trhough the air hand in hand.

The Beginning

I sit at Doorways (my work) pondering my dreams from last night. This seems to happen to me all the time and today I have decided that instead of just trudging through my dreams alone, I will now share them with the world. So beware that my dreams are crazy and always confusing. Feel free to share comments and interpretations. ENJOY!
