Barbecue

Dream 2/12/2016

I've returned to the Honor Academy.

I walk through the campus and see friends who I haven't seen for seven years. I meet new people as well. I start questioning the decision to return. Maybe I should've gone to Bethel instead.

My family comes to pick me up. We stop near a hospital and start grilling out on the grass. I go for a walk for a moment of solitude. I look back at the barbecue site and see black smoke billowing up. I run to where my brother-in-law was grilling and find my mom's Prius destroyed by fire.

We drive away. The fire has spread from the barbecue site to the hospital.

We pass oncoming fire trucks as we go. We see lines of people evacuating from the building. Hundreds of people watch from the street as the hospital goes up in flames. Dream ends.

I wake up

Cul De Sac

Dream 11/13/2015

I live in a beat up camper in a field at the end of a cul de sac.

My aunt and cousin live up the street. I enter my aunts trailer. She tells me that her daughter, my cousin, has moved out of her trailer and I can now move in. I walk down to the now vacant trailer. I move in. One night, I am sitting in my recliner having dialysis. My nurse tells me that their is a shot that the gov't will pay me $1,000.00 to take. I tell her to give it to me.

A woman walks into my trailer. She tells me she is from Bethel church and I need to come to her house tonight. I think she will heal me. As my nurse gives me the shot, I fall asleep. I wake up the next morning, having never gone to that stranger lady's house and I can't help but wonder what would've happened if I did. Dream ends.

I wake up.

Halloween

Dream 6-23-13

Today is Halloween. The school I attend is holding a costume ball. A few of my friends are over to find a costume. They both decide to go as leatherface. I have the idea to go as a girl. I'll wear a wig and a pretty dress.

-

Before I go to the costume ball, I must take a trip to Redding, California. I make it to the Golden State, to a little church in the north called Bethel. Here at the church is a diner, I decide to walk in and rest my feet. Being a people watcher, I take a quick gander at those sitting around me. Many of them are older. There is a mountain man with a long beard sitting in the corner. Good conversations abound. 

-

I leave the diner. Just outside, in the parking lot, there is a crowd gathering. Some guy has just dared an old man to do 4,000 push-ups on the spot. The old man takes the bet, drops to the ground, and begins the up and downs. To my surprise, he makes it to 3,997 and then he stops on purpose. I don't know why he does it. He says that hes proved his point.

-

My business is finished here in Redding, so I put on my wig and my pretty dress and I head back to my school for the Halloween costume ball. Dream ends.

I wake up.
