The Dreams of Hannah

I dreamed I was in RinkChat, and someone whose handle was bloommangirl38 or something like that, decided they were going to create a private room. Instead of inviting people through the Internet though, she had us all give her our phone numbers. So I told her mine, and about ten seconds later, got a call from her telling me we were meeting "in the parsonage."

I wandered into the RinkChat lobby and then saw this room called, sure enough, "the parsonage." However, it was already filled with people with very officious names, like The Lord High Chancellor, and The King of Torgo (the guy from Manos: Hands of Fate has his own country now?). When I asked bloommangirl38 (whose first name, incidentally, was Denise) what was going on, she said apologetically, "I forgot Daddy was having a dinner party tonight."

I dreamed I was having a conversation about movies with Dad. I gave him my very coherent (and real-life) revelation about Will Ferrell, how I keep thinking he's going to be really obnoxious and then seeing him in movies and he really isn't. To which Dad replies, "Did you hear that they CleanFilmed 'Elf' except they called it 'True Pump'?" I said, "...What?" And he started laughing and said, "Oh, it was just a pun. I'm making a joke."

I dreamed I was at the church, heading up some sort of missions trip, but nobody actually wanted to do missions work, so finally I screamed at the teens, "Okay, if you WANT to do anything, we're going to be over here!" and most of them joined us. Turns out we were doing puppet shows for kids who lived in the mountains, or something like that.

At the end of the time, all the kids went back to the church, but then someone came up with a message from PJ. Apparently the church van had been parked on one of the mountain roads, and the police wouldn't let him leave. When I asked why not, the guy made all sorts of gestures and said, "The only gas they let him use for the van is DOUBLE WIDE!"

Whatever that meant, it soon became clear somehow that I was going to have to get some money up to PJ and the van, and fast. The cost was rising with every moment I wasted. So I ran around asking people who had been on the missions trip to contribute money to this. I got a lot of money, but it wasn't enough. I knew PJ as going to be furious at me for taking so long.

I dreamed the Ls came to visit me on their way through to New York (just like last January), except this time I was going to Ashi's Sunday school class, like I am this summer. She decided for some reason that she REALLY REALLY REALLY wanted to attend this class, which was called something like "Room on the Ark." So she just told her parents she'd stay with me and then fly out with me to New York the following week.

Instead of going to church, though, we went to a Michael Ball concert. At the very beginning of the evening I had somehow been commissioned to draw a picture of my right thumb for Michael, and he was supposed to sing a song about it. However, he got up onstage, took out the piece of paper I'd drawn the thumb on, and frowned at it. "This is the WRONG KIND OF PAPER!" he shrieked, and began yelling at me for doing such a horrible job with it.

I dreamed that all but 11 of my friends quit MySpace. I could actually SEE their names disappearing off my list. I was getting so frustrated and kept thinking, "No! Hold on! Hold on! Don't leave me!"

Then, a bit later, Fofololo posted something on her xanga that was apparently an "algorithm" for making interactive fiction games. It looked really easy, so I thought I'd download it. Never got to see how it worked, though, because I woke up as soon as I downloaded it.

I dreamed there was a woman who was married, but had left her husband and was searching all over Paris for the man she wanted to marry. For some reason, her husband was helping her in her quest. Finally, she found the man, a baker named Charlie, standing by a fountain, bedecked in a chef's hat and all, and eating donuts. He kept stuffing donuts in his mouth while trying to say romantic things like, "We shall run away together." The woman put her arm around Charlie, turned to her husband, said, "Well, thanks for your help," and then took off with him.

I dreamed Caitlin came over to my house for a movie night, but she brought Anna W with her. Okay, cool, I thought to myself. But Anna immediately started in on me and called me all sorts of nasty things. I tried to be polite back to her. Finally she said she had to leave, she didn't want to stay for this stupid party anyway. Caitlin seemed completely oblivious to this whole thing. Bethany was downstairs and as Anna was leaving, Bethany whispered to me, "Boy, aren't you glad she's gone!"

I dreamed that I decided to walk to the church for a drama meeting. I had gotten to about the library when I realized I was going to be horribly late, when I rounded a corner and there was the church. We were meeting in one of the old drama rooms - specifically, the one by the fellowship hall. As I walked up, drama was ending (I guess I was late after all), and as everyone was leaving, Amber said something about my having a fiance. I figured she was just being weird, so I responded, "No, YOU'VE got a fiance." (Which isn't that great a retort anyway.) She found this hilarious and laughed for like ten minutes.

I dreamed I was back in the creative writing class, and it was time for the final. For some reason, my entire family was there, and at the end of the final we were asked to sing a song for them. So we did, and then it switched abruptly to a scene where two of the guys from the class decided they were going to kill me because I was a Christian. I ended up jumping out a window and running across fields, while all these people from my school were chasing me.

Then it switched to some sort of movie scene, and this is where I started getting really freaked out. It started off like a trailer for a scary movie, and told the story of this girl whose psychotic younger brothers had tied her up some place and kept feeding her food and eventually, when she got fat enough, they were going to eat her, sort of like Hansel and Gretel.

I discovered that a church was apparently behind this whole thing. I ended up finding the girl and releasing her, and the church was furious. I kept telling them this was wrong, but they didn't believe me and didn't believe me and were going to kill us both. Then a few people came forward and put all these random things at the girl's feet. Apparently they were things they'd stolen from her because they knew she'd be dead soon, and now they were sorry so they were giving them back. Two of the things they gave her were the soundtracks to Pyscho and Psycho II. (???)

There was just this general sense of terror throughout the entire dream.
