Rachel's Dreams

| Okay, I had the STRANGEST dream last night but it was actually really scary.
I had a dream that Jaron and I had Jake Russel over at my parents' house to hang out (except for some reason Jaron's parents lived there instead of mine...) There were some construction workers building something in the gullies across the road. We were sitting on the porch watching them. They ordered something from Dominoes, and the man that delivered it came in a huge white van, which we found odd. He handed off their order and then drove away. Now, somehow we knew that this man did not work for Dominoes and was delivering an explosive device in the delivery box he'd handed them. We saw him pull out a long gun as he was driving away, and then he went and parked at the top of the hill so he could shoot everyone from the neighborhood as they tried to escape after the explosion. Somehow the explosive device got transferred from the construction site to my neighbor's house. We realized we had to get out of there fast, because we didn't know how big the explosion would be. So we ran in and woke Jaron's parents, who were taking a nap, and tried to convince them that we had to run away into the gullies. Then we heard the explosion, and I ran outside ahead of everyone else. My neighbor's house was on fire, and I knew that because of their crazy sleep schedule, they might have been downstairs asleep in their basement and now unable to get out save through the small basement windows. I had to run to the house to help them out the window if I could. To get to the house, I had to cross a patch of open lawn without any trees, and I knew that the criminal in the Dominoes truck could see that patch of lawn from where he was parked, and probably had his gun trained on the area. But I ran across anyway, and luckily nothing happened. I went to help my neighbors out, but when I turned around I saw Jaron and his family running towards me, and they were just about to cross the open patch of lawn. They had no idea the van driver could see them from there. So I ran back towards them screaming for them to stop, but everyone was so confused and there was so much going on that Jaron didn't hear me and kept coming. Luckily neither of us got shot; I reached him and pushed us both out of the sights of the guy in the van. Then we had to decide how to get out of the neighborhood without the guy shooting us, since our only road exit was blocked. I was considering which direction through the gullies would provide the most cover while still getting us out QUICKLY, but then I woke up. |
