Runaways

We kids are runaways in the city. An evil maniac (like Immortan Joe from Mad Max Fury Road) has taken many kids as his slaves. He roams the streets along with his baddies, looking for the next child to use and abuse. We evade capture several times over. We steal a truck. I drive while the others hop in the back. We drive around looking for a place to hide, and even more critical, somewhere to call our home.

We come across a warehouse. It's several stories tall. We park the truck and climb the stairs to one of the upper floors where we find a giant pile of clothes. I find Snoopy and Star Trek t-shirts. One of the other kids asks to trade one of his shirts for my Star Trek one. I do. We hear a noise coming from a nearby stairway.

The Scent Of Horror

A group of my fellow high school students is spending a few days at a retreat in the hills. There is a mine track rollercoaster that tours guests through the woodland ridges. My brother-in-law built the coaster and tells me it's dangerous. A few of us pile in a cart and start up the giant hill. When we get to the top, there is another small hill before the significant drop. Joseph, the teenager, sitting next to me, leans back exaggeratedly far. He doesn't see the next hill coming. When the cart takes the mound, Joseph's head hits the track, and he begins to fall out. I try to pull him back inside, but it's too late. Joseph lies on the route with a severe head injury. The cart malfunctions and starts rolling backward. Joseph is run over. He is dead. While in shock, I try to call Chad to inform him of the situation. I tell him to stop the mine carts on the track. My frantic fingers cannot find his number in my phone. The next cart rolls along and runs over Joseph's body. I see Chad standing on a boulder. I inform him of our situation. The roller coaster comes to a standstill. We get off of the ride.

"This ride is dangerous!" I yell to Chad. Heated, he yells, "I told you it was dangerous!"

Standing on the ground, I can see paramedics carrying joseph's body down on a gurney. I can't look. I turn and walk away. As dusk approaches, most of the guests have left the retreat. I call my mom and ask her to pick me up. I'm standing next to a cabin where the female guests stayed. A car pulls up. I assume a guest is picking up their belongings, so I walk away. As the sky is dark and the retreat is still, my mom shows up. Chad tells her what happened. While the scent of horror is still in the air, we drive home.

Let Me Be

Once again, I witness the towers fall. Dream ends.

Fire & Water

There is a house on a hill. At the bottom of the knoll is a lake of lava. One could travel either side of the house and find the lava.

My friend Derek is in a wheelchair. I push him around to see the sights. All our peers are running down to admire the lava lake. I push Derek down there as well, but at times we come too close to the heat.

We are on a ship. A megalodon stalks us. We fight through fierce waves to survive its attacks. A few of us are pulled from the boat to the feared waters. A giant octopus appears and attempts to make us it's dinner as well. We survive the attack. Dream ends.

I wake up

Commando

I can transport from my current home to the house I lived in ten years ago. All I have to do to initiate transportation is to blink.

One night, I am walking through my current house. Some of the lights are on, but not many. The backlight turns off on its own. It's probably a raccoon or groundhog. I step to the back door to check and see a man standing a few feet from the door. I walk to the front room. Suddenly, I've transported to the other house three hours away. I walk to the large family room window. Across the street is a cornfield. To keep the local vermin known as children away from the crop, the farmer erected a fence. I see a naked man struggling to climb the barrier. When he finally makes it over, he begins walking toward me.

I grab a pair of binoculars and have a stakeout in my living room. My mom is here with me. I try to focus to see the man. Something catches my eye, but it isn't him. Just outside the front window, I planted a garden. My corn is around ten feet high. It is June at the moment. They say knee-high by the fourth of July. Dream ends.

I wake up

Death and Decay

Everyone is dying. My family. Friends. It has something to do with sex. The sickness is spread through sex. Similar to "IT FOLLOWS." My mom doesn't want me to see her die, so she hugs me and leaves. She dies alone in a hotel room. I watch as the people in my house slowly go the way of the reaper. The sickness hasn't found me. And it never will. I decide that it's time to leave. It's hard to choose what to bring with me. I have so many books. I can't bring them all. I look and see books written by J. R. R Tolkien sitting on my dresser. In the end, I travel light.

I know of a group of people living near Terre Haute, Indiana. I think I'll go there. The men there are builders. They use Minecraft blocks to build their structures and vehicles. I grab an antenna and a walkie talkie in case someone is alive out there and sending out a signal. I drive away from death and decay. Dream ends.

I wake up.

Electric Sky

A Dream From The Past

A party is being held at my aunt's house. Her rooms are filled with shelves of food, candy, and drinks much like a convenience store. I don't think we are allowed to eat the food. I leave the party.

Driving home, it is a little after dark. I slow down at what seems to be a construction site on the road, but it isn't. Men are throwing what appears to be grenades over the side of the highway. Some never go off. Others create an electric explosion in the sky. When this happens, they have found something extraordinary.

I run into an old friend, Hollie, at a mini-mall. There is a young, hipster boy trying to impress her. He has a pair of sunglasses and regular eyeglasses lifted onto his head. I am jealous. I walk with Hollie, and without warning, she becomes ill. She runs to the public bathroom which boasts a long line of people out the door as if we were at a Greta Van Fleet concert. But she skips everyone and runs inside to vomit. When she returns, I help her to my Jeep. I clean out my pigsty of a passenger seat for her, which in the end doesn't matter because she chooses to drive. I assume she was doing drugs, and that's the reason she got sick. I ask her if she was doing "X." She looks confused and asks, "do you mean 'H'?" I quickly recover myself, "yeah, that's what I meant." "Yeah," she replies. We drive home. Dream ends.

I wake up

A Ghost Of The Times

Dream 1.29.2019

My father, sister, and brother-in-law have created or discovered a portal. I'm led to believe this is a time portal that will allow me to visit my past and future. When I enter the entrance, I suddenly find myself in another city. I know that I am not on earth, but this world isn't much different than my own. The city seems empty. It crosses my mind that I am in a simulation, like "The Matrix," made to believe that what I am seeing is real when it assuredly is not.

In this reality, it is unlawful for a laborer to talk to an upperclassman/woman. I walk through the empty city. As I walk, I look at the buildings. In part, they look real but in another way, computerized. In a tall building, I start talking loudly about penises. I am electrocuted with a taser and forcefully removed from the premises.

I stand on the roof of the building opposite where I was assaulted. A woman with me starts throwing bombs toward the building. When they hit the ground, she uses a detonator to cause an explosion. She was wronged too.

Education works differently here, as well. Instead of a child going to a school to learn, they spend the day in a specific house where the owners of the house teach them. Many kids are in the same house. I enter one home where I come across three rows of metal folding chairs. Fifteen or more Asian students are propped up in their chairs. I realize right away that none are moving. They are dead.

The strange people in this house show me their dead ancestors who are ghosts. The ghosts stand in a line. As I tap each one, they float away. The last one has a white face similar to the Rhinegeist logo with black, raven hair and dark eyes. I tap, but it refuses to move. It stays in my mind and never lets me go. Dream ends.

My Cup Runneth Over

Dream 1.23.2019

       I walk through the halls of my old church in Anderson, Indiana. The church is small, but it feels like home to me. I walk through twisted hallways to a different part of the church, an area in which I've never been. At the end of the long hall, I find another church. This one is much bigger, and the seats are filled with those who believe and those who don't.

       I walk up to an upper balcony that is more of a dining area where one can still experience the service, but rather in a more casual manner. I meet two of my friends. One person is called Jordan, and the other has no name. They ask me to bring them a drink. Jordan wants a drink called Runescape. And the man with no name wants four Mountain Dews. I go and retrieve for them the beverages. Dream ends.

Madman

Dream 12/1/2018

I'm dating a girl whose father is a madman. She runs away from home. I meet her at an abandoned school where she has made one of the old classrooms her place to live. Somehow, her father has followed us. We hear him in the echoey downstairs hallways. The girl makes her bed and tries to arrange her room correctly so that if he finds it, he passes by. We hear his footsteps. He's made it upstairs to where we are. I run out into the hallway to cause a distraction. I enter the boy's bathroom and start screaming. The father walks in. There are stair steps at the other end of the loo. I run up the stairs as he chases behind me.

Later, much later, the father has gathered a group of young people. We are his prisoners, and he is the evil dictator. It's reminiscent of the movie The Postman. Somehow, I piss the dictator off. His face catches fire and burns his long gray hair and beard clean off. When the flame has done its business, he is a bald, black man. Dream ends.

The Truth Is Out There

Dream 12/1/2018

       I'm driving through a neighborhood with Fox Mulder and Dana Scully (from The X-Files) trying to solve a missing person case. A teenage girl was last seen walking near a particular house when she vanished. We suspect that the man living alone in this house has taken the girl. At a time when the suspect is away, we sneak into his home. Searching the place, we find nothing. Dream ends.

Black Smoke Rising

A Dream From The Past

     I'm at work. Somehow, the recycling factory catches on fire. I start helping all the line workers outside. I run back inside, and everything is ablaze. I take one last look around to make sure no one is left behind. Since I don't see or hear anyone, I exit the building. All of the workers watch as the factory burns. Dream ends.

Impostor

Dream 10.24.2018

My friend Tim is having a sleepover at his home. Ten to fifteen other guys are staying the night. Once everyone has gone to sleep, I sneak outside and shoot hoops. While playing basketball, I hear a growl not so far away. It isn't an animal but a human. Someone is lurking in the dark. I run inside and fall asleep.

Sometime later, I hear a doorknob jiggling. One of the guys wakes up and asks, "did anyone hear that?" The boys get up and investigate. When they walk outside, they find an impostor. All the boys, except for me, chase the impostor around a field. They never catch the stranger, but they aren't trying to. They run around as if they're in a marching band. Dream ends.

I wake up

Twin Towers

Dream 10.19.2018

My family is on vacation. We stay at a cabin on the edge of a mountain. The cottage has no walls. It is entirely open to the world.

My sister Kristen and I are talking. I tell her that I recently visited a city that rebuilt the World Trade Center twin towers. At first, I can't remember the name of the town then it hits me, Philadelphia.

I travel to Philly by myself to see the towers.

At one point I am at the top of one of the towers, and I see part of the original roof, of the New York WTC, on display. When walking under the roof, one enters a room where many pictures depict the history and demise of the majestic buildings.

At one point I am standing on the street looking up at the towers. The sheer size takes my breath away. I try to take a picture while a plane flies in the sky above.

A black gentleman and I are on one of the top floors. We must make our way downstairs. We jump onto a bumpy slide that takes us down several levels. Many slides lead downward.

My mom and I are on one of the middle floors. Several staircases are leading in different directions. My mom is trying to make it down. I try to follow but become lost. I cannot find the correct staircase. Trying to retrace my steps, I end up several floors above. My mom and I see each other. She asks in a joking manner, "where have you been?" I tell her that I got lost.

My brother-in-law and I are standing at one of the entrances to the WTC. There is an art piece showing two squares diagonal from each other. On top of the squares are objects that spin around in a circle. Dream ends.

Sick

Dream 9.22.2018

          Some friends of mine and I have a disease. A woman pulls us away from school and takes us to a church. Inside she has us wash our skin. We put on white hazmat-like suits. She teaches us how to do things differently than our healthy classmates. The way we eat, dress, and drive our cars must be different because of our illness.

          She has us build our own vehicles out of crafting supplies. One group finishes their car and leave. They drive back to school. Several friends comment on how hard it is to find the way back to school. The lady walks us through confusing hallways and rooms to get back to building our cars. All of us try but are unable to make one out of craft and art supplies. Dream ends.

I wake up

A Whiter Shade

Dream 9.22.2018

           I'm staying inside a house that is haunted. The owner of the house tells me that wherever a person goes inside the house to do an activity, a ghost will appear. I find this to be true, especially in the upstairs family room.

          The ghosts become hostile. I run outside and down the street and realize the neighborhood is a ghost town. Nobody is here but me. There is a house near the end of the road. I feel that I need to get inside. There doesn't seem to be a front door to this house. I climb up onto a boulder and eventually reach a window. When inside, I realize that this house belongs to a family that went to my high school. They return home to find me inside. They don't seem to be unnerved by it.

          One of the daughters, Lindsey and I, try to solve the haunting, whatever that means. We grab some miscellaneous objects and run out into a snowy field. Dream ends.

I wake up

Four Dead In Indiana

Dream 9.22.2018

          I stand by my car as four strangers walk by. They ask for jumper cables. They open my car door without permission. One man walks up to my house, opens the door, and walks inside. I'm uncomfortable. A confrontation takes place. The boys become angry and push me around. We take it out to the street. My buddy, Bugs, is next door working in his yard. He pulls out a rifle, and one by one shoots each man dead. Four bodies lie in the yard and street. At first, I am satisfied, but then I am scared.

          I burn the bodies and stuff the bones inside grocery bags. I carry them with me looking for a place to hide. I meet with some friends. I don't tell them what I'm transporting. They take the bag thinking it is something else and the bones spill out. They are disgusted. I try to think of a cover story, but nothing comes to mind. Dream ends.

I wake up

The Great Escape

Dream 9.19.2018

          A nearby forest is on fire and spreading fast. Our community comes together and escapes the coming blaze. Some of us are riding in a van. Others, including myself, are in an open trailer. We pass by my dad's house, which is a tent. We tell the driver to stop. The leaders tell us that we must keep moving. We stop anyway. I run into the tent to gather some personal items, and soon we are back on the road. We drive through unique areas and walk through different buildings.

          All of us stay in a shelter. My sister Amy is here. Without warning, ballistic missiles fall from the sky. Many hide under their beds for a last-ditch effort at survival. I do the same. I survive the first batch of air attacks, but more are coming. Once again, those of us who are still alive are back on the move. We crowd into a bus and drive away from the war zone.

          I become separated from the group. I go one way, thinking it's the right way, but then I watch as the bus speeds the other direction. It goes too fast, and I cannot catch up. I stand in the middle of a highway writing a story about an old woman who has a stalker. The man comes to her house often, and he is hostile. She locks the doors and readies her shotgun, in case it comes to that. One day the man arrives. I have yet to write the ending. Dream ends.

I wake up

Dizzy

Dream 9.16.2018

I find myself inside a supermarket, shopping for clothes. I fill a cart and head for the registers. The line is long, and I don't have the patience to wait. I quickly return the clothing items to where I found them. When exiting the store, I notice that the line of shoppers is no longer there. I run back and grab all the items from before. At this time, the store is closing. I hide under a bush so the employees won't see me. Before long, I am spotted and made to leave.

Next door is Israel, the country. Although I cannot see him, Ben Shapiro is nearby. His voice can be heard. I jump the fence to what I think is Israel, but it is really America. I travel state to state in this one-acre lot. Later, a woman asks me where I've been. I name the list of states in which I've traveled.

I am in a new place. Joe, Q, Murr, and Sal from Impractical Jokers are here with me. Sal is a bird, so I place him into a birdhouse. Somehow, the house catches on fire. I pull him out, and he is burnt to a crisp. Dead. The other Jokers find out. I recommend that we grow another Sal. Dream ends.

Feeding Time

A Dream From The Past

There is an inside swimming pool the size of a football field and 100 ft. Deep. On each side of the pool are three ladders stretching from the bottom of the pool to the top. Like the Hunger Games, this pool is watched by many for entertainment purposes. Audiences watch as prisoners and captives are put to the test. A prisoner must swim down the ladder about 40 - 50 ft. Where there is a knot or lock. They must undo the knot/lock and then float to the top. Here's the twist, around ten seconds after the prisoner dives in, a Megalodon shark is released into the pool. If the prisoner does not complete the task fast enough, the giant shark will catch and eat them.

My family has been taken captive for an unknown reason. We are brought to the pool as thousands cheer from the stands. Each of us is put to the test. One by one, we dive into the pool. One by one we undo the lock right as the Megalodon is released. So far, we all make it to the top alive. Next is my mom's turn. I am worried about her. She isn't a fast swimmer, but she pleads with us not to help her. She dives in. I watch as the clock ticks and know that she will not make it. Against her wishes, I jump in behind her. I find that she is struggling with the lock. I take over and finish it. The Megalodon is released. We swim to the top. Death's grasp barely escapes us. Dream ends.
