Uneven Cabins

I am in the mountains on a ski trip with a youth group (I think). We arrive at our cabins and go inside. The cabins are way up on the side of the mountain and as we walk in, the cabin begins to sway like a teeter totter. Down and then up when we rush back to the middle to stop the cabin from falling. I am fairly nervous and choose a bed right in the middle of the cabin to save myself.

Later on in the day, we are down the mountain looking up at our cabins. They begin to shift and then start tumbling down the side of the mountain. Michael, from Lost, pulls out a strange metallic device that looks similar to a sling shot. He points the device and the falling cabins and they stop in mid fall. Then he directs them back to their original positions and sets them down firmly as he continues to gesture. We are all wide eyed and freaked out. Ben, also from Lost, looks at Michael and with daggers jumping out of his eyes he screams: "Why have you not told me about this before."

I am quite scared and start walking away from the strange men and the metallic device. I must think about Lost a lot because this is like my 3rd dream about it. Strange right?

The Clique Reunites

I have just finished an exam and am ready to board a train to get home. Just as I get on the train, I see two of my best friends: Forrest and Ian. They are part of "The Clique" from my last summer at camp. I am so excited to see them. We go back home together and as we step off the train we see Chelsea. WOOT! She is the last member of the clique. She walks ahead of us before we get a chance to yell at her, but then she sees us and runs to meet us. The Clique is reunited and we are all overjoyed.
We head to someone's apartment and lay on the orange carpet and watch a movie. I almost fall asleep and then suddenly Forrest is smothering me trying to cuddle. It felt like he was doing Forrest Weight and I just laughed and we cuddled for a bit because he is a bit of a cuddle whore. Then suddenly he pops up and says that I am not doing it right. I am like :"what?" He goes over and lays his head on Chelsea's lap in protest. I just laugh and continue to watch the movie.

Later we decide that we are going to go visit Luther College because we are in Decorah. We head over to where Freshman orientation is happening. Each of us has a white chair that is similar to the ones in my host family this year. We arrive and give our white chairs to a group of Grannies. They use spray paint and decorate them for us as a gift. Weird right?

Next we begin to head inside. A greeter comes to talk to us and I tell her that I have already graduated from Gustavus. She gives me a semi dirty look and we all rush past her to the activities inside. Once we are there we get involved in a game of charades/pictionary. Chelsea and Forrest go first and then later I go with Amy. Ian has magically transformed into Amy. I remember vividly holding the yellow paper that was a big as me as people guessed. It was definitely a good time!

Sawyer and the Fraternity Attack

I am at college with Sawyer from Lost! Oh I am in love with him and it is amazing. We are friends or hopefully lovers. I am not really sure. We are walking in the evening when a group of fraternity boys jumps out and starts to chase us. I know that they are really serious because they have bats, shotguns, and other weapons. We are running for our life.

We find a huge pick up truck and I jump into it. Sawyer is in the back with a gun trying to fight off the guys that are chasing us. I drive as best I can through the rough conditions. We are no longer at the college, but in the country on a dirt road that is extremely bumpy. I drive and drive and there is a lot of gun firing going on in the background. Sawyer is yelling for me to turn around and go back, so I make a quick turn and step on it to get back.

Back close to the school, I slam on the brakes and end up having a small crash. We are both ok and jump out of the vehicle and run into the school. I am completely terrified and and sprinting through the dark corridors with tears almost running down my face. Why are these crazy boys chasing us? We didn't do a single thing to them. Is it because we aren't a part of their fraternity or is it something else? At least Sawye r is here to protect me. My thoughts distract me and suddenly we are separated. I am even more freaked out now and run into the choir room and attempt to hide. Pushed up into the side of a cupboard, I listen for the dangerous footsteps coming this way.
