This is not about my birthday
Today was my birthday. (see title)
I went to a play. It was a really good play. It was at Brian's old high school and we saw a few (many) of Brian's friends who I'd previously met at his Christmas party. They were all really nice and many of them hugged me. That just made me feel.... more than tolerated.
Anywho (see title), I would like to write down my dream (that could also be considered two or three nightmares) that I had a while ago because it was quite interesting, and I want to remember it because it was extremely weird.
Here goes:
It started out that I was at UMBC (which looked nothing like this, nor did it resemble this in any way) and there were these two platforms that that were overtop of a large open area. The paths connected, but they were connected in the corners opposite the doors. Let's say that the doors were on the southwest and the northwest side of the building, and the connection was only on the east side of the upper floor. Naturally, I jumped across, because that was the most efficient way to go. I almost missed it, and I had to hang onto the side, which shot adrenaline through my body. The next part came when it was a few days later in the dream, and somehow, for some reason, the entire building was remodeled and I now had a different gap to jump. It got a little hazy here probably because my mind knew that I should have died, so I guess what happened was that it put me back up on the first ledge (before I jumped and missed) and I looked over and got the creepy feeling I always get when I look down from tall feelings (what with the whole fear of heights and everything).
End scene.
So, I'm entering a room and I immediately become absorbed in the anticipation of other people waiting for Jolene's date to show up. (Don't ask me how I know this, because as I, in the real world, was trying to figure out how I knew, he showed up.) So they leave for their date, and I end up somehow following them without thinking of myself as stalking them. Fuzziness sets in again, and he became an anime character. Oddly enough I didn't realize it was a dream until a long while later. I then saw this guy pull out a sword and start cutting people in half, and slashing their sides open, and just gruesomely killing all these people. And above all this, I know, somehow that he hired them to come at him so that he could kill them and look like a hero to the girl who no longer had any affiliation with Jolene.
So, I left the scene, disgusted with what I saw. I was running across some field that I knew very well (that my mind created on the spot) and I hopped over a cement block like I'd done it a thousand times before (cement block was created in my mind, as I started to jump over it). As I grabbed a metal plate in the cement, I noticed that it had an inscription in it. It didn't matter, I didn't care.
End scene.
Then my friends and I gathered up, and decided that we needed to save Jolene (or whoever she was now) from this creep and we set out.... The next thing I know I'm trapped in a space that keeps getting smaller. It's a narrow octagon-cylinder, but I'm not completely freaking out. I try to press my knees against the container's edges, and then I think to myself, I know I can get out of this, I've done this before, but how did I get out of this before?.... then I realized that the situations that I've been in before had something in common, I was asleep for them all. Oh, I'll wake up, but I better do it fast, so I jerked my head back, and woke up to my own head in the process of being thrown backwards, away from my pillow.
Thus ends the story of my day and my dream of a while ago.
