Bus on a Rainy Interstate

I met up with Christensen (army goof from Papa John's) at Deno's gas station in Virgina (the one in Weyers Cave) and it was night time out. I told him that I needed him to follow me for some reason, and so we each got in our cars and he followed me down interstate towards Verona. I then wound up back in Weyers Cave, and I somehow knew that he had left his car along side of the road somewhere along interstate.

The next thing I knew was that I was at Fort Defiance High School, and I was leaving for the day, but I knew that there was a group of us that was going to need a bus that night, so I went through the office and found the 'bus clipboard' and took the set of keys that was on it. Then the next thing I knew was that Mike (manager from Papa John's) was driving the bus and we were heading down interstate in the same direction as Christensen and I had, and we even passed his car where he had left it.

I was sitting 3 or 4 seats back on the right side of the bus, and Rebecca (a girl from my school bus ride several years older than me) was in the seat across from me. We were talking about something (which I can't remember) and then I looked ahead of me at the road and I saw that it was raining. I then also realized that I was driving the bus, and that the people in front of me were blocking my view of the road.

I shouted something about the people in front of me needing to move their big heads, (especially this big bald guy 2 seats up) and so they did, but it was already too late, and the bus had started to pull off the road. I tried to correct it, and the bus spun around a couple of times and took out several of the orange cones that was on the side of the road. Finally the bus came to a rest facing the correct direction, and I asked to see if everyone was okay. Thankfully they all were and so Mike took over driving the bus again.

I then started to look around to see if the guy with the big bald head was okay since he had gotten in my way, but he was nowhere to be found. I looked in the back with everyone else, and he wasn't back there, either. I came to the conclusion that when the bus spun around, that he had either been thrown out, run over, or that he had just decided to leave at that point. Mike took us along interstate and we got off at several exits that led to other interstates, and finally we pulled off at some restaurant place that had a lot of people in line.

As we were pulling in, somehow the subject of my not signing out the bus came up, and he was kinda upset at me about it. I told him that I figured that everything would be okay. We all ended up getting off the bus and going and standing in this long line, and when I got into line, I realized that our entire group had butted in line ahead of this long line of elderly people, but no one had seemed to have noticed (from our group or the elderly group) We were waiting around under this wooden canopy that lead from one building to another, and there were several buildings around, but most of them were like big storage sheds. The main building was huge.

The Cave in my Living Room

I was in some sort of cave with several people, but I don't remember what I was doing there or what was going on. In some ways it reminded me of the 'big barn' from back home in that there was a place a lot like the hay loft and such. I was watching people come in and out through the main doorway and I spoke with a couple of them, but eventually I wound up climbing up to the hay loft looking area, and then up into a hole in the ceiling of the cave above me. When I did so, I wound up in my living room in the little rented house in Savannah. I was coming up through a hole in the floor that was about where the trunk now sits in the middle of the living room.

Then I think there was something about Joey (franchise owner from Papa John's) bringing me a sofa. I can't remember if he brought me the red one that I already own, or if he brought me one that was a lot like the sofa-bed that we used to have at grandmama's. Anyway, at first I tried situating the sofa where it currently sits and putting some sort of round table over the hole. The table didn't completely cover the hole, and so I went to the side of the living room where the TV now sits and went into a closet that was there and dug around until I found the stuff that you spray to keep animals away from certain areas. At first I could only find the one for dogs, so I went over and sprayed that, and then I went back to the closet and found the one for cats, so I sprayed that one around the base of the table as well. This way I was sure that Thess, my cat, wouldn't go through the hole to get out and into the cave.

I then took a look around, and found that the inside of the house felt somewhat like the cave, too. I then went back down into the cave for a bit where some stuff happened that I can't remember, and then when I came back up, my living room had been rearranged, but it looked more like a house now instead of a cave. I had a problem with where they put the sofa, though, because you couldn't see the TV from where it was, so I ended up moving it back, and realized that depending on how I had the room arranged that it looked more or less like the cave. When I moved the stuff this time, it was definitely the sofa-bed and not the red sofa.

The Day the Comet Struck the Earth

I was out on Fort Defiance High School's football field, and there was something about either 'closing' or 'opening' it as if it were Papa John's. I'm thinking that I was supposed to close, and I had done something wrong, and so when Mike (manager from Papa John's) got there to coach, he wasn't very happy with me about something, but I'm not sure what.

So as time went on, another person or two showed up and I was supposed to clock them in on the computer that was over close to the concession stand. I don't really remember what we were doing on the field, but it was something like playing football with pizza boxes, or something equally strange. I think that Billy (young guy from Papa John's) showed up at one point, and so did Sefton (also from Papa John's), but I'm not sure what Mike had us doing. I just know that it was night time, and we were getting ready to do whatever it was that we were supposed to do.

The next thing I know is that we're all out in my parents back yard, and we're waiting for a comet or something to come and strike the earth. We were somewhat doubtful about it because we had heard of this before, but nothing had happened. I was facing somewhat towards the house and the 'dog building' and I looked almost straight up, and I saw a little star show up. It suddenly got brighter and almost turned into a sun and then it cleared and I could see the jagged edges and this lava ball comet with somewhat of a blue haze around it. I saw it come down (and by this time everyone saw it, even though I was the first one to spot it out of the group, although at this point you'd have to blind to not see it) and I knew it wasn't going to strike us, but it was like it hit over on the other side of the Blue Ridge Mountains. We all felt the shock of it hitting the earth, and I wondered if that was going to throw off the crust of the earth in a way that was going to make it like a pole shift. I then looked up, and there was a second one coming, and it hit farther away than the first one, but we still felt that one hit, too.

Then that small group of us, which now included some woman about my age, went onto grandmamma's back porch and the woman started messing with the computer that was on there. First she did this thing that showed us where the comets had hit. Just as I had seen, they had hit basically on the other side of the earth. One of them hit within the Atlantic Ocean, but close to the African boarder. The other one had evidently hit right about in South Africa. I could see all sorts of fissures in the earth's crust that emanated from these two spots, and there wasn't any water in the oceans. I'm not sure if it was how the computer was portraying it for us so we could see where it had hit, or if the comets had done something to make it so that there was no longer any water in them. (like evaporated from the heat or something)

Then she started doing something else with the computer, but we weren't quite sure what it was. Someone asked her, and she said that she was taking some sort of precaution because of the comet, and that she was altering her genetic makeup. She told us that she had recently come in contact with a scorpion, and that she was making it so that her skin had the ability that when she touched something, it was like a scorpion's sting. I'm not sure if she was thinking about aliens coming from the comet, or if she was just thinking that people would be going crazy, and so it was to protect us and her from them. Either way, after that was done, we went to the front porch and waited. I'm not sure what we were waiting for, though. Maybe we were waiting for the effect of the comet to come to us.

Then soon after this I found myself in some sort of laboratory, and the same woman was there doing something with the computers there, and there was this 11 or 12 year old girl there that had something wrong with her, and the woman was going to try to 'cure' her. It was either that, or there was something special about the girl, and the woman was going to try to harness whatever it was from the girl. I know that where I was standing, I was on the right side of the room, and the computer stuff was about 10 or 15 feet in front of me, and the table that the girl was on (or going to be on) was to my left. There were lots of people around in the room wearing white lab coats, but there were also several plain-clothed people that were like the girl's family and friends. Also, on the wall to my right, there were lots of big windows, and the only thing that was beyond them was black. It was the darkest night out.

Finally I think someone carried in the girl and lay her on the slanted part of the table close to the end by the computer. She looked very weak, but at the same time, she seemed very strong. That's why I'm not sure if there was something wrong with her, or if she had a power to be harnessed. Maybe it was physically she was weak, but energetically and spiritually she was super-human.

Anyway, after a little bit the woman at the computer hooked some wires to the girl and did some things on the computer, and then she had someone move the girl from the slanted part of the table to the part that was to my direct left, which was flat like a normal table. I went over and I was talking to the girl while she was waiting for the next stage of whatever they were doing to her. It almost seemed to me that the girl was liquid or something. It's like she was there, but somehow she was fading out of this reality or something, but at the same time, it wasn't that she was dying, but more like going on to the next energy level. I knew that why all this was happening and why they were doing the things to her was because of the comet, but I'm not sure how it all tied in together. After talking to the girl and touching her face, the dream ended.

Dumping Theresa's Stuff

I was on my trip to Virginia in August, and I was going to drop off Theresa's (from Kentucky) stuff at her house. When I got there, it was a fairly big house, somewhat like Sarah's (ex-girlfriend), but not quite. I got there and got out of my car and went to the front door, and Theresa's mom answered the door. (She didn't look like her mom actually does, though. She was tall and skinny, and had short and curly blond hair) I asked for Theresa, and the next thing I knew, Theresa and I were outside somewhere, and we were throwing things at each other.

I don't remember what we were throwing at first, but I think I was the one that started it. I think I was doing it to try to get her to back off and to get away from me, but she was doing it as a game. Eventually we were throwing things at each other around a huge pumpkin that was the size of a good sized room. It was about 9 feet tall and probably about 15 or so feet in diameter.

Finally at one point she had somehow gotten inside of it and most of it was emptied out. There were a bunch of slimy seeds and such on the 'floor' of it, and so she picked up a couple of handfuls of those and threw them at me. I dodged those okay, but I wasn't about to touch them and throw them back because they looked and smelled like they were rotting.

Finally we were done with that, and we were inside of her room at her mom's house. I had gone in there to get my stuff from her and to see about making room for her stuff that I had brought with me. We ended up sitting down for a few minutes and talking or something, but I still felt the same thing I had felt when I was throwing the stuff at her. She was trying to get me to rub her feet, and I was trying to get up, but not in a way of "ugh, you're disgusting", but more like I was trying to do it politely. I was just wanting to get her stuff to her and get out of there and get it all over with.

So finally she came out to the car with me, and she was commenting on it, saying things like "ooh, a stick shift!" or "Wow, it's a nice color!" (It was my new Hyundai) I noticed that it was kinda rainy and cold out, almost as if it were Christmas time. I think that we even had jackets on. Anyway, I was in the driver's side of the car, and she had gotten into the passenger's side. I was getting her little things off the floorboard that I had put down there that didn't go in the bags, such as her lighter and stuff.

I reached down and picked up an earring that I had in there, and I was showing her that I had gotten my ear re-pierced. She didn't like that much, but I didn't care. I put the earring in anyway. I then showed her my couple of crystals that I had with me. There was one that was tied by a tiny point on the end with some fishing line. I think I might have also showed her my Herkamur (type of crystal) and one other. I then noticed a group of crystals sitting there in a plastic container that didn't look familiar to me, and there was something strange about all the points of them. The crystals were all of different colors, but the reflection off of the ends of the point looked a little bit like calico pyrite, although they mainly tended to stick with a nauseating shade of green. I asked her if she had put them in there, and she said yes, and that she wanted me to have them.

Immediately a flag went off in my head, and I knew that I either had to turn down the offer or somehow leave it behind. I knew it was something she had enchanted to try to keep a leash on me. I looked at it more closely, and I saw that it was in a green plastic base with a clear cover attached to the bottom. When I took the cover off the bottom of the base and put it on top where it was supposed to go, there were these sediment looking stalagmites or something on them, and it reminded me of the stalagmite/stalactite growing sets that you could get from Grand Caverns in VA.

I took the lid back off and put it back on the bottom, and I looked at the crystals more closely. They were all of extremely similar size. They were about a quarter of an inch thick at the bottom, and about 1.5 to 2 inches long. They almost resembled crayons in their color because the colors were so bright. There were black, red, green blue, yellow, and so on. I think there were 8 or 9 of them in all. They weren't clear like normal quartz, either. They were completely opaque, almost like plastic or something.

At first I told her I didn't think I should take it, trying to pass it off as "I'm not worthy", but she insisted. So I put it down in my car, and we both got in again and I asked her where I could park to make it easiest to take her stuff in and bring mine out. She told me to drive up to the front porch instead of the side door (which is where I originally knocked), and so I did. I pulled up and turned left and went to back up. I had some trouble backing in for some reason, and I kept ending up too far to the left. There were a bunch of bushes there, and that's why I couldn't just stay there. Finally after 3 tries I got it straight and we got out.

She went in first, and I followed after a moment. She grabbed a box full of my stuff, and was walking back out with it, and I was thinking that I could sit the crystals on the dining room table, and she wouldn't notice until I had left. I passed her mom on my way in, and she asked me what had happened (meaning between me and Theresa that let us fall apart like that) I was getting ready to say that not much of anything had happened and that we had just drifted, and she asked me something about if I just thought it was the "right thing to do", and so I just said yes, letting her come to her own conclusions and just talk to Theresa about it later.

I then left her and went into the living room and picked up some of my stuff and went out. When I got back outside, we started grabbing her stuff to take inside. She was amazingly cheery and calm throughout the whole thing, but I think it was because she thought I had accepted the crystals which she had enchanted. I was then awaken by a phone call, but I drifted in and out of sleep after, and every so often I'd return to the dream, taking her stuff inside and finally leaving the crystal on her dining room table when I knew she was waiting outside for me the last time for me to leave. And so leave I did, and the dream ended.

Back to School

I was back in Fort Defiance again, and I think I was in Mrs. Yager's (biology teacher) class. We were all walking in and she said something about assigning seats a little later, and she told me that I was going to be sitting up next to her. We all kind of found it funny, but it turned out that it was because of a report or something I was supposed to finish the year before and I hadn't, and so as she had me to sit up front next to her, she gave me a large manila envelope that had my report in it, and I was supposed to work on it to finish it.

After a little bit I ended up being out in the hallway, and I was walking down through the "A-Wing" section of the school. I don't really remember why I was walking there or even who I was walking around, but I know that at one point I was just in my underwear. It sort of bothered me at first, but after a little bit, I just didn't care.

Papa John's, Planetary, and Lucid

[Crap. Either I didn't fully write this one down, or a good part of it got eaten by my computer at some point. And this was one of the few that I could still remember fairly vividly once I started reading it, too!]

I started out in Papa John's, and I was having some trouble because we had gotten in some new toppings, and I don't think I knew where they were when someone ordered them. They were orange slices (more like sections, I guess), shrimp, and scallops. Natalie (from Papa John's) and I were looking for them and couldn't find them, so I called up Mike (the manager), and he came and helped me find them.

We went to the cooler, and there were all these shelves of stuff. We found the orange slices, along with the "new" beef. The new beef was kept in single serving plastic containers that were shaped like little cream colored cows. To get the beef out, you had to twist off the head and dump it out the neck. After this, stalks of corn started showing up around the store. They kept showing up more and more until finally it was like I was in a field and it wasn't Papa John's anymore. I started walking a little ways, and eventually Natalie and I showed up at my parents' house [end]

Timewarp

I was at or around my parents house in VA, and I had done something strange, such as somehow jumped into some sort of alternate time because of some event I had witnessed or changed. I thought it was something fairly small, and so I didn't worry about it too much.

Then I ended up talking to Sarah on the phone. I mentioned the time thing to her, and she had no idea what I meant. I didn't really expect her to, but then I said something to her about our relationship, and she didn't know anything about that, either. I was surprised, and I realized that my going back and changing whatever event it was had made it so that we had never gotten together as a couple, but just as friends. I told her that, and I think she asked me if it felt strange. I told her that it did, and my mind was racing to try to figure out how to change it back, if I could at all.

I think before all of this, there was something about seeing my little brothers as babies again. I think that had to do with what I altered, although I can't remember what it was that I did. Then the next thing I remember is something about being at work, and I was getting ready to close down the store (Papa John's) and I had two drivers there to help me out. One was John, but I don't remember who the other one was. I asked them if they wanted me to make a pizza for us to split, and to my surprise, John said okay and told me the toppings he wanted. (which were pepperoni, sausage, and bacon) The other guy wasn't quite sure what he wanted. So while he was thinking, I took them to another store (kind of like as if it was in the mall or something) and had them to start with rearranging the freezer area for shut down.
