i had the most awful nitemare i've ever experienced last week. it probably doesn't sound very bad in text. but for me, it was really awful.
i was in my dorm room watching tv in the morning with my brother. my manager (music) came and sat next to me on the couch (i had a couch in this dream). we were watching 'dawn of the dead' on tv. i jumped at a scary part, and at the exact same time, he grabbed me up onto his lap. i was really uncomfortable so i moved. then he left, and told me i was going to sing at Salute To Seniors at UHS, where i graduated. i decided to drive home, which is only 20 minutes from my school. so i'm driving home, and thinking about Salute To Seniors, reminiscing, etc. then all of a sudden, i like, snapped out of it, and i was still on the high way. i thought maybe i'd dozed off or something, and couldn't believe i didn't crash. i was going under a bridge, and i thought i was almost at my exit. but then i saw an exit sign i didn't recognize, and realized i'd gone farther down 270 South than i'd ever gone. i thought, 'don't panic...' and took the next exit. the car was sooo hard to steer/drive, it was like trying to turn the wheel when your car is on, but not started. i felt so out of it, like i'd been drugged. i managed to pull into a restaurant. i parked and took the key out of the ignition. i went to grab the door handle, but it wasn't where it normally was. and then i realized that it wasn't my car. that's when i really felt sick with dread. i went inside and i was pretty frantic. i asked if someone could take me to a phone, but everyone sort of ignored me. i started to cry, and i asked this couple where i was. they said if i went a little farther south, i'd be in __________. i odn't remember the state, but it was very far south; at least 10 or 12 hours from home. i became more frantic. i tried to ask a girl who looked about my age for help, but people were staring and she looked embarrassed. and this one waiter kept walking past, and everytime he did, he'd move me by grabbing my hips...i was very uncomfortable. then suddenly, all the chairs in the room were in a circle. i sat down, and noticed that two seats down was scottie, a guy from my bible study. i said 'oh thank God--scottie, how did i get here?' and he looked at me funny and said 'quit acting funny. you drove here.' 'i know scottie, but i dont' know how i got this far...i dont' know what's goign on; can i use your cell phone?' he let me, but when i put my number into it, different numbers showed up...i ran outside to find a pay phone, but both payphones there were dead, with the receivers hanging off the hook. then my room phone rang and i woke up.
tyler had been napping with me, and i don't recall this, but he said i shot up, looked at my room phone, then at my cell phone. i do remember waking him up in a panic and bursting into tears though...i don't know; it was just so scary being lost and out of control and not being able to talk to my mom.
i've been having bizzarre dreams lately. i guess maybe they're stress-induced? i wish i could interpret that one...
