The Dreams of Hannah

I dreamed some friends and I were in some sort of haunted house. I'm not sure if it was really haunted or not, though - strange things definitely kept happening. I only vaguely remember the whole thing. Then I was in this tiny little church which was apparently our church, and Bethany and I wanted to join the choir. We just wandered into the church and sat in the choir benches with a bunch of people we didn't know.

I dreamed John Tartaglia was in our grocery store, sitting in a shopping cart. He started wheeling himself around - I think he was chasing me - but he also wanted to buy some orange juice. Then I dreamed I woke up and told my parents about my dream and they didn't believe I'd dreamed it.

I dreamed Dad and the family were playing some sort of game where Dad would try to kill meand I'd try to find it out and stop it before it happened. I was boasting to Dad about how I was sure to beat him, but he just smiled and said, "Not in time, you won't." And so I ate some mints and drank some Kool-Aid and set out to find his trap (although I didn't really set out, I just stayed in my room the whole time). One of them was Bethany sawing at a ceiling fan to get it to crash down on my head, but it really wasn't anywhere near my head so it wasn't going to work. Obviously that wasn't Dad's plan. Then I saw that Elizabeth was unscrewing the hinges of a door which WAS right by my head, and that door was going to crash down on me and squash me. I pushed her out of the way and screwed the hinges back in, and then turned to Dad and smiled and said, "I figured it out! It was Elizabeth's door!"

He just smiled and said, "No. Actually, it was the mints and Kool-Aid you ate and drank fifteen minutes ago."

I realized with horror that all the time I'd wasted trying to find the way he was trying to kill me had just given time for the poison to get into my system. Dad started laughing a very evil laugh and I tried to run downstairs so I could get to the hospital, but I was starting to feel the effects of the poison and couldn't get very far.

I had two dreams right in a row. First I dreamed I was on the stage for And Then There Was One, Too, but every time I opened my mouth to speak, all I could do was sing "Blow Winds" from Zanna, Don't!

Then I dreamed that it was Monday morning at the college this fall and I went to return the Spanish tape to my Spanish instructor but instead of her there was someone else there. She kinda looked like the nurse from Soapdish who turned out to be a guy. I talked with her for a little bit in Spanish and then asked if we were going to do the Wednesday morning things, where we just got together and talked in Spanish. And she immediately went, "Oh, no, no, you can't do that unless you're in the class." I said, "But we're just talking in Spanish." And she says, "No, not unless you're in the class." And it really irritated me that I wasn't allowed to talk to people in Spanish without signing up for the class, so I threatened to sue her or something.

I dreamed I signed up for a creative writing class at the college. Class was always held in the computer lab for some reason (and not even the little closed-off ones, the big one) and for the first two days our teacher was a girl but on the third day it was a guy. (Erm... we switched teachers. She didn't turn into a guy.) I got a C on my first writing assignment for some tiny reason but I wasn't even that upset.

Then she assigned us a poem to write about a random thing in our life so I started off writing about a flower but at the end had a bunch of weird rambly things that made no sense, like, "It's fast time in timeland" and such. She asked me to read it to the class, so I did, except my dad was there too, and I felt really, really stupid, because it was a stupid poem. When I finished my dad was giving me this look like "What was that?" and so I said, "Well, erm, I don't even know what that means at the end, I was just kinda....." and my instructor goes, "That. Was. Incredible."

Then on day #3, my dad wanders into the lab again with his laptop, this time, and sits against a wall waiting for my class to be let out. Our instructor (a guy now) says, "Uh, for tomorrow, uh, write something about your family. OKAY! Now let's talk about Sarah Michelle Gellar, the super robot mutant. Isn't it so unfair that she doesn't get the same treatment we do?"

He lectures for like twenty minutes on this, and my dad flips open his laptop and starts watching Strong Bad Emails. My instructor turns to him and goes, "Mario. Rebuke." (Which means he thought he was playing Super Mario on his computer.) Dad goes, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I HAD to play this." To which my instructor responds, "No, I mean the bag," and points to this GIANT bucket sitting by the door. Dad says it's not his bag and I say it's not mine, and the instructor starts yelling, "Well whose bag is it? You can't just bring a bag into class and DUMP it there!"

I dreamed PJ was having a movie night at the church and I recommended "Plan 9 From Outer Space" (does make for a good viewing if you have people around to mock but I would hardly have recommended it). But we only got about 15 minutes into it before people were complaining it was stupid. We took a break and all the kids went to complain to PJ, who said, "I DIDN'T DECIDE THIS!! Talk to Hannah!" and I kept trying to explain why I had chosen it, but most of the kids just rolled their eyes and left.

I dreamed I was at my grandpa's house with my mom, where suddenly he fell off his chair and started stiffening up and his eyes started glazing over. We knew he was having a heart attack or something, and he was probably dying. My mom got off her chair and knelt down by him and was trying to find out what was going on, but then she stood up and ran to call an ambulance. As she yelled on the phone in the other room, I sat down next to Grandpa and didn't know what to do, so I started praying. Hard. I held his hand and prayed basically that he would open his heart and let God in. And as I was praying, I heard my grandpa, in the pain he was in, repeating the words after me. It was a very, very emotional dream.

I dreamed I went to an ApologetiX concert with a huge amount of people, and more wandered in about halfway through. We were in like the very, very front row, and the guys all knew me and my friends. I also kept recognizing people from other concerts and saying, "Weren't you at the concert in Kewanee a few months ago?" and they'd go, "Yeah! I remember you!" So we were all hanging out with each other.

At some point they come out to play "Stairway to Heaven" and Karl's guitar has grown. Well, actually just the neck. It's now about twelve feet long and keeps bumping into the audience. Not only that, but someone out in the audience has another guitar, and the neck of Karl's guitar ends up getting tangled up in the strings of that guitar. He sits there on his stool, joking and saying, "So who's going to help?" but everyone else seems to just be laughing and having fun, so I do this swan dive under a chair (I'm not sure why it was entirely necessary but oh well) and untangled it and the concert went on. Yay, I saved the day.

I dream that I'm good friends with Jessica A. again, but her mother (who in this dream is actually played by a good friend of my mother's) is completely overprotective and won't let her out of her sight. We decide to take Jessica on a road trip from Iowa to Indianapolis, stopping off at our house on the way there. When we get there, however, we find Jessica's mother has followed us because, as she said, "I couldn't bear not to see my little girl again!"

I dreamed that a large group of people from our church were going to that ApologetiX concert I went to last week (except it was in a completely different auditorium). It was me and my sisters, Mom and Dad, PJ and Dacia, Emily A., Sammy E., Pastor & Jane (yeah, totally their kind of music... NOT!) and Marissa from my Spanish class, and possibly others.

I was sitting in the very front row with Emily, Sammy, and Marissa. At one point Emily started talking and I kept trying to shut her up cuz I wanted to hear what was going on. There was a woman onstage (she looked like this storyteller that taught a workshop at our local library) and she could hear what Emily was saying, and she turned and snapped, "Hush! You're a disgrace to the people of [my town]!" Which was an odd thing to say, seeing as how Emily doesn't even LIVE in my town.

So from then on Emily just whispered, but apparently she was right in front of a mic or something, cuz the band could hear her onstage. After one of the songs, Karl looks at her and goes, "YOU DESERVE TO HAVE YOUR EYES GOUGED OUT!" and I was like "Whoa, Emily, what did you SAY!?" but she wouldn't tell me.

The concert ended and I just hung around with the band for awhile (they kept making fun of me because I was walking weird... I really WAS walking weird, I would have made fun of myself as well) and suddenly I realize that the rest of my group has left. I ask where the phones are but then realize I can't call home, they JUST left and it's at least an hour's drive home. So in an hour I'll call them and wait around an hour for them to come pick me up. I keep looking around for someone I know who can maybe take me home, but don't see anyone.

I decide to stay for the evening church service. One of the ladies tells me, "Oh, yes, we have a very evolutionary church." So I'm sitting in a pew, waiting for the service to start, when Bethany wanders in crying. I say, "Oh, they left you behind too?" and she nods, so I invite her to sit with me until it's time for us to call them. Then Bekah and Elizabeth wander in crying, and I think, "My word, they left EVERYONE behind!"

The church service was pretty freaky. This dude in a suit stood up and crouched over the podium and looked menacing while the words "Listen To Thee, O My Lord" were put up on a screen. (Which doesn't even make SENSE.) I think the dude might have read a psalm, but it really wasn't much of a service.
