I just woke up, and there is school today. No other schools in our district have classes today, I don't even think the college does... but of course we do. Seeing as our school ranks like 105 out of all the highschools in the province, its probably because we suck. Of course, another school which is close enough for me to bus to every morning is like 6th, but Id rather stay at the craptastic one.
Of course, there is a reason why I slept in, always is.. isn't there? Well, I didnt get to bed to late, not for me anyway, nor did I forget to set my alarm or any of the usual reasons for missing school. In all honesty, its that I had several bad dreams. Why don't I get started then...
The first of these dreams probably has to do with "All Quiet On The Western Front" as we are reading that in English class, and I read it before I went to bed. I was in a strange forest, filled with ghosts of old army folk, all of whom wre crazy. Walking through the forest I kept seeing glimpses of death and terrible murders. Soon I reached a house, and there were several people there, one a veteran. I inquired about the state of the wood and they told me that this was probably just another part of hell or somesuch, and the veteran told me that those thoughts never cease to invade his mind either. They directed me to an old pond, with frogs and told me to cross it. I did, and there were several upturned graves, skeletons with enough flesh and clothing on them still to see that they too were military. I sat down in the middle of the graves and cried.
The dream then changed slowly, the skeletons sunk back into the graves and the gravestones turned into stone obelisks, resembling stone henge. I still cried in the center of this, not knowing what I was crying for. Then Gwyd came and I stopped crying, and he asked me to follow him. The horrid forest I remembered vaguely had changed to a place of beauty, but there was still something wrong here. It was too calm, and very menacing. Gwyd led me all the way up the highest mountain in the forest, and told me to look over at the sight that I would see. The forest was falling apart, being devastated by, of course, fire and humans on two seperate ends. I cried again and Gwyd told me to stop it, it hurt him. I cried harder. Then he yelled at me, told me I was nothing. Then calmly he sat beside me and told me that it wasn't working, that he met some one else, and every dream he had ever had concerning loving me and living with me was really about her, and she was more beautiful than anything. And besides, she wouldn't cry at something like this, she was smarter and understood how life really worked. She wasn't a pathetic lost child like I was. Then he stood up and I was bawling, and he told me to grow up. Everything changes sooner or later. I called to him, I asked him to come back, to explain this to me. Why why why? And he told me to go jump off the cliff. So I did.
As I was falling through the air, I realised I was being pathetic as he had said, and the dream changed again. I was in the middle of town, well, not the middle but by the wendy's at which I used to work. I was looking at the place, waiting for my sister to show up. My mom was in the hospital, and my dad with her. We were staying together at my place to look after the cats and just be a comfort to eachother. An earthquake happened. A small one that no one could explain, we called the hospital. Everything was fine there, power went out for awhile, but they were on back up generators and everything was fixed now. We rested, both of us aprehensive, knowing that something was wrong. I was petting mine and Gwyd's kitten, and I decided to call him. I took the phone and sat on the roof of my house, something I do when not in the greatest of moods and when I am worried. The phone rang and rang, but there was no answer. I called his cell phone, and he picked up saying he was on his way to my house. He was worried, something was wrong, something big was about to happen. He said he would be here in less than ten minutes, he had just crossed the bridge. Thats when it happened. The earthquake started again, and the mountains that surround our valley town... they errupted from the sides and base. They aren't volcanoes really, so it was indescribable. Only two of them erupted, one up in the high region of town, and one by the slummy region of town. Lava was pouring through the streets, and I was watching it. I nearly dropped the phone, Gwyd said he would run to me, the bus got overturned. And that is exactly what he did. I ran inside, and told my sister who was in a panic we had to leave, now, and she agreed. We tried calling the hospital in vain, the lines were out. The lava hadn't spread that far yet we knew, but we had to get my mom and dad out of there. So I grabbed a few things, including a flash light, a lighter and a pack of gum, pulled on a heavy jacket just in case, and was about to leave when I looked down and saw our three cats. I went and got a large cardboard box and cut holes in the sides quickly, and put all three inside. Then I grabbed the keys to my dads car, and me and my sister jumped in. Gwyd was no where to be found. We drove down the street to the bridge to see it fallen down, and lava covering the streets. We can't pass. So we drive back, and still I can't see Gwyd any where. My sis, who is driving says we can't wait, and we take the long way across the bridge to get to my mom and dad. The car breaks down. We are stranded and I am crying. Things are exploding across the river, my parents are in danger, and my boyfriend is missing. Then I pass out. When I awake, my sister is comforting the cats and all the insanity has ceased. My sisters boyfriend arrives with her two best friends, and they take us home. My house was never touched. I sit inside, let the cats out and learn my mom is ok. But there is no sign of Gwyd. I walk along the road, and there he is, lying in the ditch, unconcious. I scream and try to wake him up, but he is in a como or somesuch. I cry.
The dream changes. Im camping with my family, and my grandpa (who is one of my favorite people in the world) says we should go horse back riding. I've nevr gone, so I am a bit scared, but I still enjoy it. That is, until my grandpa is bucked from the horse, and falls through the ground into some sort of hot spring. His screams are agonizing. Some how we get him out, and his flesh is peeling, he has nearly been boiled alive. It was horrible, his skin is red and kind of looks sunburned but worse, and he smells like hotdogs. He is in pain and we can't do anything. Then the dream changes again.
(This is the last, I swear!) Im with my cousin on a houseboat, but something is wrong. People are yelling at me. I have to leave, so I steal a car. Inside is a girl, tied up and gagged. She has been beaten, and I take out the gag and she yells at me to drive. She tells me about these people who are holding her hostage, that she is a prisoner. They come after her and I drive away. Then I woke up.
Weird huh? I didnt know a person could dream that much in a span of 10 hours. The worst was the one where Gwyd said those awful things to me. I woke up because of that one. *shudder* i have no idea what it means. I really dont. Probably just that I worry far too much, about everything. Oh well. I think Im going to eat some cake!
