The Dreams of Hannah

What was really said: "We shall soon know, Watson. We shall soon know."
Heard as: "It shall snnnow, Watson. It shall snnnow."

Last night all my dreams were...very strange. I had one where I dreamed that Stefanie had found out this huge secret (don't remember what the secret was, but I remember it was like this really life-changing thing) and was like laughing at me...

And then the rest of the dream had an enormous atmospheric impact on me. It was me and a group of people who apparently all knew that the end of the world or something was coming so we were all getting ready. Then the end came... the lights in the house all went out. We all looked around... then it started getting darker... and suddenly we knew it was the end.

Then I woke up partially, opened my eyes and saw I was still in my bed...and sort of faded back off into my dreamworld, where I dreamed all these people were back and had all had similar dreams and knew that it meant something significant, but they didn't know what.

I had a long but rather vague dream last night... it involved us going on a long quest. We had Eponine in there (what's with the Eponine dreams? Am I feeling subconsciously Eponinesque?) and also Pam from Spanish class. Except when the two were introduced, they instantly hated each other. Apparently Eponine was into this weird religion and Pam found it highly offensive. But then they did keep playing evil jokes on each other. Like Eponine led Pam into a pit full of applesauce-like mud until she was pretty much covered in the stuff, and then commanded an applesauce-like teddy-bear-sized panda to jump down on Pam's head. Pam was also like creeping up behind Eponine with a towel and freaking her out because Eponine thought it was an ancient god taking revenge on her or something. I also remember bunches of horses coming toward us and trying to take refuge in our tents...

Misread: "Evaporating Humidifier" as "Evaporating Underwear"

I had a long involved dream last night that I'm going to try to recount.

I do remember I was listening to Lea Salonga sing "On My Own." I have a vague feeling that I WAS Eponine...

But then that changed, and Amanda, me, and some other girl who I can't visualize (might have been Carly, but I just have this feeling she had dark skin) were sitting near the door of this room. I think it was a Sunday school room. We were having a co-ed Sunday school lesson that day, and instead of sitting in a chair, I sat by the door. Amanda came and sat by me and this other girl sat there, too, so that we were in a little triangular pattern, completely blocking the door. I remember feeling a little sense of "awww" that my friends were willing to sit on the floor to make me feel like I wasn't completely out of place.

Then the guys started coming in, and they had to step over our heads to the middle of the circle and then over our heads again to get out of the circle. As Tyler came through, he commented, "Oh, how cute, they're all sitting together!" But then Canaan and Allen showed up, and Canaan was complaining about us blocking his way.

I remember, then, sitting in a pew (but in a tiny little church - still supposed to be Harvest Time but the building was really little) and singing a song called "Brilliant Soldier" that someone from the church had written. It wasn't really much of a chorus, it kept mentioning times on the clock, like 10:30 and 2:25.

Then we were in the Sunday school room again, and Abbie was telling me how she could put the words to "Brilliant Soldier" to the tunes of five popular songs. So I was trying to figure out. I could almost put it to the tune of "Complicated" (but it actually turned into "So Yesterday" because it had that bridge in the middle: "At least not today, not today, not today...")

And then we were at youth, and I suddenly remembered that PJ was resigning as youth pastor and just working on the sound board instead. It had been a sudden decision, but nobody seemed to care that he was gone. In his place, was this dude dressed up kind of like the scarecrow from The Legend of Zelda, except he was supposed to be "Brilliant Soldier" (yeah, like the song). It was all like a VBS program except it was for us,and nobody caught on except for me that it was all weird. Then I looked over toward the sound booth and PJ was wiping a tear from his eye, almost as if he was going, "What has this come to?"

The only thing I remember after that is talking to Amanda and saying, "Don't you CARE that everything has changed?" and she said, "What?" But she only seemed to be concerned about my cousin Mandy - apparently she knew something I didn't.

My wrist is out of commission so this might be a short blog :)

I had a dream last night that the youth group was going to a museum. There were rooms titled "2000," "2001," "2002," and "2004." (What happened to '03, I don't know.) So we went in and were looking at them, but the only one I remember was 2000. It was a completely metal room with all sorts of shoes all over the place. It was supposed to be a tribute to what life was like in the year 2000 but...er... yeah. Wasn't quite accurate.

I remember at some point that I conversed with Stefanie and Carly...but I don't remember what exactly went on.

There was also a tae kwon do tournament...but Nathan wasn't in it, I was... and I do remember talking to Randy and Jeanne M. about church stuff, but I don't know why I was in that conversation...

Basically a lot of disjointed memories.

I dreamed that the drama team was performing Evita. I played Eva, and Bethany was playing Peron. Don't recall who was playing Che, but it WAS a guy. Huh... odd, that the one role that occasionally switches genders, didn't, but a role that doesn't usually, did.

So, anyway, I arrived at the church at 6:30 and one of the students came up to me, rather irate, and said, "You should have been here at 5:30." And I remembered that I WAS supposed to have been there at 5:30 to rehearse, but the show was starting right away.

We started off with "A New Argentina," except we were performing in the pews. Bethany was sitting in one pew and I was supposed to go over and sing the beginning of it (even though technically it would have been HER line). That was when I noticed that we were also having to sing over the voices of the people on the soundtrack - a karaoke version of Evita? Hmm...

I had a dream last night that Dad and I were in the Chicago area while SEMP was going on. I don't remember why we were there, but we decided to drop in on Wheaton College and see how SEMP was going.

I thought that we had to have a pass or something to get in, but apparently we didn't, because we went right into the parking lot (which was very small, I might add) and heard PJ talking and shouting orders. We went into this small brick building where half the youth group was hanging around (even people who aren't even in the high school yet, like Macie).

Apparently all the people who were hanging around had gotten sick and couldn't go out witnessing. I remember Amanda and Tyler and Macie and Abbie and Natalie were all there. Tyler kept running to the bathroom to throw up.

Then I decided, for some reason, to visit the bathroom and see what it looked like. It was seperated from the rest of the building by a curtain of golden tassels and the toilet had a golden rim and I remember thinking, "Wow, this is a pretty nice bathroom..."

Natalie opened the curtain at that point. I think she had been looking for me because it was time to go or something.

And thus ended my dream.
