I have had the same bad dream 5 nights in a row now. They're never identical, but they always end the same.
I'm always on campus somewhere in the beginning. I've been in the quad living room, in my room, in lab, down near the chemistry offices or in the commons. And then all of a sudden the school goes on lockdown because someone has a gun. But then it's found out that it's more than one person who has a gun and that they are all running around all over campus shooting and killing people.
In each dream I've had different people around me when I find out about the lockdown. One time it was Kim Wolfe and her family, Mallory and her family, Nathaniel, and all of my roommates in our quad after a party one night. Other nights it's been various students and professors in the chemistry department. Last night I think it was this guy that I'm acquainted with from a few of my classes.
In every dream I'm really scared and someone (always a male) that is with me during the situation runs out to go "check things out" and I see them disappear. I never know if they get shot or not, they just run out of my sight. I always wait and wait for them to come back to tell me what exactly is going on and they never do.
The first time I had this dream it was Mallory's dad (even though I've only met him once and I have no recollection of what he actually looks like) who ran out to investigate. In real life there's this phone in the hallway mounted on the wall that anyone in the Quad can use. In the first dream, I pick up the phone and the line is dead. I keep trying to get a dial tone and then all of a sudden I see somebody walk in the front door, and I take it to be Mallory's dad, so I say "What's going on, is everything ok?" and I get no answer. It was really dark and everything was fuzzy so I could only see the silhouette of the man standing in the doorway, but then suddenly I see the shadowy figure point a gun at me, and then I woke up.
There have been variations of the ending throughout the past 5 nights. Last night, for instance, it was daytime, and I was in the quad and my friend ran out to check things out. I grabbed the phone in the hallway and I dialed 911 (this time there was a dial tone) and got ISU public safety who assured me that they were taking care of the problem. Then I look out the window and see a bunch of masked guys with guns shooting at people, though I never see anyone actually die. In last night's dream, I remember trying to get off campus, running outside and then getting "shot" in the calf, but feeling no pain. I looked around to see who shot me and I saw nobody so I ran back into the quad and ran to the phone and dialed 911 again, in more of a panic than before.
The woman on the other line tries to tell me that all of the police are trying to get the situation under control, but there's just too many people with guns shooting and that now they have the air force dealing with the situation (side note: WTF???). I then tried to tell her of something they could do to try to solve the problem (though I don't remember what I was supposedly going to tell her now) when a tall, bald man wearing sun-glasses walks through the door and points a gun at me.
All of the dreams have been similar, yet different. They have always taken place on campus, they have always involved the phone in the hallway (even when I was in the science building, that phone in the hallway mysteriously appeared in the building), and it always ends with the same man (whether it is dark or light outside) coming through a door, standing in the doorway, and pointing a gun at me in the EXACT same stance each time. And I always wake up at that point.
Obviously something is bothering me, or else I wouldn't keep having this dream every night for 5 nights in a row. I originally thought it was just from the fever that I run every night with being sick, which usually explains weird nightmares, but the same one for 5 nights???
