I just had the weirdest dream of my life, which is really saying something.
It started somewhere but I don't really remember it. The first thing I remember is being in my room, but it didn't look like my room. I was sitting at the window, looking out. There were all these elevated walkways, real real high up. Everything was very pretty, green. A crowd of travelers were walking a road way. I knew they were running away from something. So, I'm watching them, thinking about how some parts of the road are invisible and how that's weird. They come to a part that's invisible. Two women step forward, a blonde woman and red head. They jump on to the invisible part, because they're scared, but fall forward on to the hill my house is on. I reach out of my window and pull them up and they are passed out, with neck injuries. You're not supposed to move people with neck injuries. They instantly die.
I go downstairs and my family (but not my real family-a grandfather, a father, a little sister and a mother) are talking about a trip they are going on soon. They are visiting family somewhere and they want me to come with them. I say no and that I really don't want to go. They are very mad at me. I make chocolate milk for the little sister and the grandfather says she doesn't need sweets so I go to find a smaller cup. I pass by a TV. There's a news report about the two woman. Apparently, they've been found in body bags and delivered to their families. I'm afraid they'll find out it was me but I know it was the mother that wrapped them. I'm distracted by the little sister and return to her.
Later, I'm in my room again, with Casey and Alexis (my dance friends). We're talking when the Grim Reaper comes in. At least, I think that's who it was. I didn't know in the dream. He was a skeleton. He takes off his head and tries to scare us with it. But, I'm not afraid (It is now that I notice the view from my front window, compared to that of the back window, is the front of Jennifer Green's house. Outside of my window is her front yard). I take his head and he collapses. The girls tell me not to do it and I laugh. I put the head on my head and I start convulsing. I laugh and tell Alexis to try it. She has the same reaction. We're talking when someone downstairs calls my attention "Gillian! Ben's outside asking for you! He has a gun!".
I don't hesitate. I can remember running down the stairs, in Jennifer's house, and run outside to the cul-de-sac. Ben's standing behind a truck with a square shaped, detailed gun. I don't notice it then, but it has a hotel logo on it. There are all of his friends running around. Jennifer's boyfriend's ex-girlfriend, Ingrid, is there too. I run to him and try to distract him but it doesn't work. He's gone nuts. He's talking about things I don't understand (or remember). I try to grab the gun but people keep getting closer and closer. I yell at them to back off. He keeps saying someone's shot him and he's going to shoot them back. He puts the barrel of the gun down the front of his pants, laughing. I pull it out automatically. People are closer, he freaks out. I yell at them to get away, but they don't. He grabs me and runs.
We're in the lobby of a hotel. He pulls me around a corner. I try to remember he's not himself and I don't want to get him trouble, but I need help. I scream, but no one hears me. He then beats me and rapes me. It's the strangest part of the dream by far. I won't go into detail. I scream and scream and no one hears me. If they do, they ignore it. Finally, a sweet black girl, tall, most likely plays basketball, answers me. She runs to me, says everything will be all right, and catches Ben. She beats him into unconciousness. I pass out.
I blank out on what happens next. What I remember is walking around on the outside of the hotel for an elevator. I want to go up to my room. The hotel most likely gave me a complementary hotel room for my troubles. All of the elevators come and go instantly. I can't get in in time. Finally, a small elevator arrives and waits for me. The top is low, so low that I have to get in on my belly. I lay down and press nothing. The door still open, it shoots backwards, then upwards. The walls fall down and I'm traveling in a bright, blue, flashing lights tunnel. There are bodies everywhere, green lights scanning over them. Things that I've seen in the dream are there to, being held and examined. I instantly know that the hotel is after me somehow. They captured Ben and drugged him. I see the bodies of the two woman I tried to save. The elevator almost stops by the hotel workers and they almost see me, but they miss. I get out and run to my room.
Ben is there. I tell him what I've found. He feels awful, guilty. I don't have time for that. I grab his hand and run. The hotel workers have found us out and are after us. We return to the small elevator and thankfully, get away. We meet another girl, plainly dressed, on the way. She follows us. We reach the end and crawl out. I take Ben's hand and squeeze it. We both know that things, from here on out, are going to be different because of what's happened. But, I'm not mad. I don't mind what he did because I knew it wasn't really him. I tell the girl next to us that it'll be all right and that we'll look after her. We walk up a hill and find the travelers that I saw from my window and join them.
At the very end, I see the sun setting over the Atlanta skyline. That is all.
