driving to pittsburgh
I had this horrible awful dream last night, bad enough that I wanted to write it down and share it with you...
My mom and I were driving to Pittsburgh in my car. (Yes, i know, thats awful in and of itself) It was around Halloween and they had decorated one of those tunnels that goes through mountains. The entrance was covered with fake spider webs, the inside was all dark. Instead of having those awful yellow lights lit, they had taken yellow rope light and used that for the line markers in the middle of the road. Well as we got closer to the end of the tunnel, the lights were all out. we couldnt see a thing. And, for some reason, it was extremely icey and snowy... we started sliding and there was more or less nothing we could do. The car started tumbling and somehow my mom and I fell out. She wrapped her arms around me as if spooning from behind, and we started to tumble down the snowy mountain. All of a sudden, we stopped, with our backs to the cliff. My mom was utterly calm, and she said that we were on a snowbank, but the snow wasnt very hard, and to be calm and collected, we would figure it out. I was sinking down into the soft snow as I opened my eyes... I basically peered out into oblivion. It was like being at the top of the grand canyon... down the rocky cliff was a small town, you could see small dots of lights and a little snake of a river winding through it.... but it was SO far down. Instantly I was freaking out and I started to try to tamp down the snow so that we could climb back up. In reality, we hadnt fallen but maybe a story, and there were boulders I knew I oculd climb. All of a sudden, Bill Chong shows up and is looking at us, and came down to help rescue us. Well I was like okay, lets get moving, and both of them started to slide down the cliff on purpose, as if they were going to just slide all the way down into the town! I freaked again and told them to climb up. We made it to the top, and I woke up.
I guess it doesnt seem all that scary, but the thought of falling down that cliff and my body hitting the rocks was horrifying. It just wasnt my time to go! So yes, very scary, and im glad the dream was over.
I had lots of totally insane dreams last night... In one of them, we visited our old neighborhood, and it was like some eerie flashback, everything looked the same... and I was seeing things and remembering things from my childhood that obviously didnt happen. Everything was sort of 50's ish... polka dots and lime greens and canary yellows.... In one part, we went into this laundry mat area, and there was a coffee machine.... the landlord offered me hot chocolate in a coffee mug and it was horrible... my brother and I laughed because it was the same in childhood, he gave us horrible hot chocolate that tasted like coffee and we hated it. The whole dream was very creepy because we were visiting the past but it was like it had never changed.
Anyway, schools about to start, I better go. sigh.
