The Dream Log

i moved into my friend’s mansion. i was wandering around when i came across her older brother’s bedroom. his name was Reed. he was really sick, like cancer sick, and he started yelling at me for going into his room. he mentioned something about only going outside to do yoga. for some reason, just during this part of the dream, my eyesight is all messed up, and it’s hard to see anything. but then my eyes go back to normal and i leave the room. i see my friend’s parents (by the way, i have no idea who this friend is, she’s never in the dream :P) giving a tour of the house to this couple and their young son. they were interested in renting two of the rooms. they were kinda grossed out because they had to walk through Reed’s messy room in order to get to that wing of the house, but they decide to move in anyway. i forgot what happened after that. the next thing i know, everyone is shrunken down to Barbie-doll size, and we’re all running and hiding from the t-rex that’s stomping through the house. it seemed to always be chasing me and Reed. at one point we were hang-gliding together. there were other hang-gliders. i saw a closet coming up on the left and i could hear someone shouting from inside “can someone please close the door?” somehow Reed disappeared, and i flew into the closet, grabbed the little handles on the inside, and closed the door. it closed just as the t-rex went by. there were a bunch of people all on this shelf in the closet (we’re still doll-sized), and i knew that they were part of this weird tribe thing. i didn’t mind, though, because i was safe from the dinosaur. it turns out that the tribe wasn’t hiding from the t-rex, they were actually hiding from the government, who wanted to kill them.  we were discovered and pulled from the closet (now we’re full-sized). i wasn’t myself anymore, i was Reed. this doctor-looking guy lead me outside and we were walking along the side of the house. as we were nearing the corner of the house the doctor said “you’re going to die in about two seconds.” then he pushed me past the corner of the house and i heard a gunshot. i felt the bullet zip past my face; they had missed. but i decided to pretend that i was dead so that they’d leave me alone. i was laying on the ground, trying to breathe shallowly, but then i couldn’t breathe anymore, so i started gasping for breath. i could hear the doctor kneel next to me, and i could feel him swabbing my arm, like he was going to give me an injection. then i felt the needle. i looked at the bottle of what he injected into me; the liquid was yellow and it was labeled “deoxygen.” i was still Reed, so i decided that i needed to leave a message for my girlfriend before i died. i used the syringe and the deoxygen to write my message on the metal floor (i guess i’m inside now…). i wrote “I love you,         -♥-Reed” i left the blank space to write my girlfriend’s name, but i couldn’t remember it. i asked the doctor if he knew her name, and he said that he did but he wanted to know why i needed to know. i told him that the poison was making it hard for me to remember and that i hadn’t seen her in a couple of months and i wanted to say goodbye. i was crying at this point. while this was happening i could feel the poison moving through my body; i felt like everything was slowing down. i was talking slower, breathing slower. and then i died. then my spirit (i was me again) somehow ended up at PCEP, and i was walking around, thinking that being dead wasn’t so bad. i ran all the way from one end of campus to the other with no effort, no pain. i guess i used to park my PT Cruiser in the Plymouth parking lot, because i got into that car and drove home. when i pulled into the garage Audrey opened up the door like she always does when i come home, except when she saw me her smile went away and she just looked really confused. i went inside. everyone knew that i was dead, but no one was crying yet because they knew that i was coming home to talk to them. my dad had gone to pick Owen up from school, but Elizabeth was already home. Audrey ran away from me and hid. my mom started talking about my friend Emily (i knew that she had died in a car crash a month before, along with her father). she said “i saw Emily and her dad at Walmart, they said that you did a really great job in your show.” Elizabeth held up a bottlecap and said “Emily gave this to me!” (i guess my family can talk to ghosts?) i looked in a mirror, but i had no reflection. i asked if Audrey could see me, and my mom said “yes, she can. but she’s confused because she knows that you’re dead. and you don’t really look like yourself, either.” i looked into the mirror again and i could see myself: i was stick thin, like anorexic thin. i was extremely pale, my eyes were amber and my hair was pure white. and that’s when i woke up.
