TERRORfying

So I had a terror-fying dream two nights ago, and I'm going to tell you about. Then you can rest assured with solid proof that I am A CRAZY PERSON!!!! Woo!!

So the first part is the most terrifying. I will use [ ] to add notes in the present. Otherwise, it's all dream, baby.

Before I begin, I want to comment on the very beginning. It was like, I was in a deeper level of dreamstate (INCEPTION!) (of which I don't remember anything) and then I "woke up" into this dream. So I woke up and the dream was already occurring. Or maybe the "waking" was just the clicking on of my memory neurons? HMMM.... PONDER THAT.


Ok. Dream Time.

Part One: 

I woke up and I was on a boat. [I had my flippy-floppies.] I was the only person on the boat, and I was supposed to be steering it, but I was a few feet back from the steering wheel so I ran up to it.

The boat was really tall and I couldn't see the water. But what I could see directly in front of me was Antarctica. Or what I thought was Antarctica. And I was terrified that I was going to crash directly into it, and so I was trying to steer. I ended up getting the boat parallel to the coast, and began boating next to it. I passed a sort of place where you could dock your boat, but not really. 

I don't know if the ladder reached all the way down to the water. But the sign and the ladder were brown.





Antarctica wasn't very tall (the part of it above water) [but after thinking about it, I think it was my perspective from the boat]. Anyway, as I was driving the boat, I was thinking to myself, "What the hell??" as in, "why am I at Antarctica?", "why am I on a boat?" etc. And it became "known" to me [you know how that happens in dreams... omg... INCEPTION????!?!?!?!?] that I was trying to get somewhere on the other side of the world, and it was important, and that I was sailing around the world to get there. I remember thinking, "Well that's dumb! What if it gets all stormy 'n junk??" [Flying didn't seem to be an option, or I didn't think of it.]


Next, I was on land on Antarctica, but I was still driving my boat. And it was like a town, with numerous gas stations along the road, and I was still driving my boat, like a car. Also, everything was snow-covered, and mostly white [Duh, it's Antarctica.] In other dreams, whenever I am driving, I am never able to stop at red lights, and a red light was coming up, and I was afraid I wouldn't be able to stop so I was trying to see if I could. I couldn't. But I did learn that I could slow down or speed up the boat by squeezing my legs together on this thing I was sitting on. And that was actually how I was driving the boat [You know those motorcycle video games that are in video arcades where you sit on a motorcycle and it can tilt back and forth? Well, the "steering column" was sort of like that, except it didn't tilt, but that was sort of how I was sitting on this thing... It's hard to explain.] So I ended up driving my boat through part of Antarctica.

End Part One

Thus concludes Part One. So what is terrifying you might ask?
1. Waking up to realize you are driving a GD boat that is going to crash into Antarctica.
2. Why am I on a boat? I am afraid of deep water and the thought of being out in the middle of the ocean near Antarctica sounds TERRORfying.

I wasn't as scared in the dream as how scared I thought I should have been. But thinking back on this also, I think that I just couldn't be scared because I had to take care of the situation.


Preface to Part Two
This part remains a little fuzzy, and so I'm just going to throw what I remember at you, and it may not even be in the right order... but I think it is.



Part Two


I am still driving my boat on roads, but it seems more like I am on some sort of interstate now. There is actually a fork in the highway coming up and one sign says, "Fairfax" and I don't remember what the other sign said. As I was driving, I kept trying to think if there was a Fairfax in Antarctica, because it didn't seem like there was, and I kept trying to figure out where I was. I ended up going on the Fairfax way, and soon the road turned into an actual highway road. But there were large ponds/lakes of water next to the highway, and I kept thinking, "I need to get on the water, I'm on a boat!" Then there was a sort of "rest area" but it was really messed up. It was more of a floating raft with astroturf on it. But apparently I jumped off my boat onto this raft, and I slid all the way to the edge, but I didn't fall off. Then I got up, and went inside a plexiglass-ed room, maybe the size of my family room. There were tons of people in there, and they were all watching the news which was on a TV. There was apparently a McDonald's attached to it on the other side, but there was an actual half-wall closing off the tv room from the McDonald's. But I did notice that the other room had that kind of gross McDonald's tile you see. Anyway, I tried to stand out of the way while I checked my phone to see where I was. But this guy kept backing into me and I couldn't move anywhere and I thought the guy was a jerk. Anyway, I used the GPS on my phone, and it told me I was in Connecticut. And I was like, "Oh, Fairfax, Connecticut, okay." And my phoneGPS also mapped where I had been and so what I had thought was Antarctica was actually the cape part of Massachusetts that was frozen because it was winter [The cape part actually looked much bigger and longer, like that part of Alaska.] So the GPS mapped where I had been and then I used it to find out how I could get back to the ocean because I had places to be. And there were highways [boatways?] in Connecticut I could take, but none went straight through the state, they only went around the outside. [If I could draw better, I'd draw it for you... BUT I CAN'T SO DEAL.]

So I was like, "Alright" and was going to head back to my boat. Before I was able to leave though, someone made an announcement that due to something, I would have to take a bunch of people on my boat with me. I was like, "Ok." So jump to we are all on my boat. Now the "highway" was a sort of boatway, where it was sort of like a high-walled canal. I was sitting in the inside of the boat, and someone else was driving. I was trying to count all the people because my boat had the problem that if it was unbalanced (too many people on one side), it would tip over. But everyone kept walking around so I couldn't count. I got mad and was like, "Fine. I don't care!" But after I said that I was like, "Wait, I have to care, the boat will tip over! UGH." I think I went outside then.

[I remember three other parts from Part Two, but I don't really know where they fit in.]

At one point, I saw a "people lane" in the canal. [Sort of like a bike lane on a road, but there was a wall between it and the boat lane.] There were people of all ages, and they seemed to be riding waterslides, but the slides weren't made of plastic, they were made of water. So, there was a 'top' and it was a very not-steep slope, and there would be a jet of water that would push the people down the actual slide of water. Seeing this made me less scared of the depth [AND DESTRUCTION] of the water that lay under the boat. Also, someone noticed that the boatway was only 7 feet deep (from a sign on the wall like at a pool) and commented that "they could do 7 feet" and I thought to myself that I could do.


At another point, the boat flipped over and flooded and there were people caught inside the inside part. At this point, I was sort of watching things happen, and I was also sort of a giant, and so I was able to open the door (which wasn't a door) to the inside part. (The door was more of a slide-down window of sorts...). And so I reached in, and grabbed people one by one and hung them over the wall. And then I was like, "Wait! There might be people in the inner inside!" [Whatever that means]. And it was sort of like the basement of the boat, and I took something out and there were two little girls. So I pulled the girls out and one was Asian and one was white, and they were about the size of my hand. And so, there was some guy next to me with a digital camera and I gave him the Asian [I'm so racist!], but he didn't put down the camera. I had the white girl laying on my hand on her back, and I was pressing on her chest with one finger, expelling water. I yelled again at the camera guy because the Asian was just laying dead on the wall, but there was nothing I could do. Then suddenly I had some sort of toy heart monitor that just had a series of glowing hearts and from it I could tell that the white girl was alive. [That's all I remember from that part, I don't know what happened to the Asian.]


Finally, at another point, I was on the inside of the boat and the ghost of the actual captain/owner of the boat (previous owner, I guess) was haunting us. [I am guessing this took place after the flooding of the boat because I think we were saying it was caused because the captain was mad.] Anyway, the ghost of the captain was actually invisible, not ghost-invisible, but completely invisible. I was going to open the door to go outside, but people yelled at me not to do that because I'd let the ghost-captain in. (The door was sort of like a sliding door on a minivan). And at this point, I had already opened the door, and now was trying to close it, and the ghost captain was fighting me, trying to open the door. [I don't remember who won :( ].



Preface to Part Three
OMG THIS IS THE LONGEST DREAM EVERRRRRRR. I'm almost done. This is the last part, and it doesn't really have any tie-in to the previous two parts, except maybe that there's some ghost-like thing. Um... yeah. Also, in this dream, I begin watching the scene, and then I take part...

Part Three

I am at a friend's condo, and it is similar to my Gram's condo in Florida in that the back wall is all windows and there's a sliding glass door in the middle that goes to her backyard and there is a pool in the backyard. My friend (long dark hair, tall-ish, wearing jeans) hears something (I didn't) and goes to check on her son in his room. She goes in there and he's not in bed but he also has a door to the backyard and he went out there to sit in a chair. [I think he had arm floaties on at this point, or was carrying a towel or something]. I remember thinking I was a bit worried that this little kid was out at the pool at night alone (he looked maybe 6 or 7) but my friend wasn't worried so I was like, whatevs. So we were sitting in her living room, looking out at the pool, sort of just watching her son I guess.

Then there were multiple of her son and one jumped in the pool. Also, there were apparently these green and red glowing dots, and both were bad. The dots were about the size of my hand and could inhabit things by glowing on them. But we were only looking for a green dot. So my friend and I were then scrounging through things on the floor to find these dots because they wanted her son (or something). And so I was looking through newspaper and other small things on the floor. Also, the dots could only jump from one thing to another if they were touching. And then I realized that her son was sitting on the floor, and so I said the dot was on him. (At this point, her son was maybe 2 years old). So then I picked up her son and put him on my lap and was looking all over him for these glowing things, but I couldn't find one.


Then there were two of her son, and I had a gun. I was supposed to kill the bad one, but we didn't know which one was bad. I remember thinking, "Well, I could just kill both." [<-- OMG!!! And that's all I remember.]
