Dreams

So last night I had the weirdest, most vivid dream. It all started out with me and my roommates Tony and Leigh, my friends from home Chris and Dave, my Laurier friends Mike and Rachel. We were all chilling at a mall with some sort of fountain in the middle of it. It could have been the West Edmonton Mall. Anyways, we were sitting around the fountain, talking and really not doing much of anything. Then suddenly we were attacked by police officers and everybody but Chris and Tony were captured.

The 5 of us were taken to this prison that looked just like my 1st year res except there were bars instead of doors and windows and people were walking up and down the halls yelling at us. Leigh's cell was to my left and Rach's was to my right. Dave and Mike's cells were in front of us. But it was so dark I couldn't see them- I could only hear them.

We had to ask to use the bathroom and be escorted to the toilet when we wanted to go. So one night, I asked to use the bathroom and just as the girl unlocked my cell, somebody down the hall started puking and she had to go help them. Since I was such a good inmate she told me how to get to the bathroom (through the doors, down 2 flights of stairs, there will be a sign, just follow the arrows). So I started walking down the stairs. The doors were heavy and had a glass pane in them. I could see shadows of the people who were patrolling the areas. So I ducked down, not wanting to be caught without an escort. I was so preoccupied with keeping out of sight I went down more flights than I was suppose to and ended up in some lobby full of people. The sign said "visitor’s area". I was still dressed in my regular clothes so I just walked through the people and through the glass doors into another room. It was big and white and had escalators going up. It looked like an airport lobby. So I went up the escalators and found my purse sitting there. I pulled out my cell phone and called Tony and Chris to tell them what happened.

They told me to wait where I was and they would find me. 10 minutes later they were standing there and Tony had a controller in his hand with a flashing red button on top. I asked him what that was and he said that his Dad made this for him and that he would know how to use it when the time came. He then said "come with me, I have a plan" and we ran back to the escalators and he pushed the button. Suddenly the visitor’s area was filling up with water and some water started to leak into the airport lobby.

Chris turned to me and said "are you ready?" I said "I guess so" and he said "I hope you remember what floor you were on!" and we started running down the escalator pulling me behind him.

Somehow we got back into the visitors area and I could breathe underwater. Everybody else was floating around and looked like they were sleeping. We started swimming towards the door that I had come out of that lead up to the cells. The whole building started slowly turning and making it very difficult to figure out which end was up.

We found the door that our cells were in and it was full of water too. My friends were all breathing and worried because they didn't know what to do. For some reason, the water and the turning of the building made it possible for everybody to squeeze out between the bars when we pulled them. As soon as the last person was out of the cell (Rachel- I'm sorry darling!) the water started to slowly come down and the spinning stopped. Tony grabbed my wrist and said, "We need to go- NOW!" and with that we took off swimming towards the doors, down the stairs into the visitor’s area and back into the airport.

When I turned around to see if anybody was coming after us, the visitor’s area had disappeared. I looked around to all my friends, and they had disappeared.

Now that was a crazy dream!

Moral of this story- I am your hero.
