One of the oddest sort of recurring dreams I have is that I'm in a shower and the water is really hot and loud. Its nice and peaceful however I can always just faintly hear something else going on just outside the bathroom door. While I'm in the shower I can't help but get the feeling that whatever is going on out there is something very dark and dangerous and all in all scary...but that thought is never as loud as the shower water. I feel this false sense of bliss but theres always something nagging at the back of my mind...tonights dream was unfortunately no different only in the dream I was sitting in the shower and not standing. With my knees pulled up against my chest. The water was just as loud and as hot but then my cat jumped up on the ledge of the tub and just looked at me like she was expecting me to do something? In the dream I ignored her and closed my eyes and rested my forehead on my knees. I could still hear the water and still had that faint sense of anxiety that somewhere where I was not...something bad was happening.

I've never really done anything like this before although I've always wanted to...

Last night my dreaming began normal but quickly changed. Over the years I've noticed a pattern that whenever I have a nightmare about something its usually a situation in which I'm trapped and can't escape. So last night was no different. My dream began with me sitting in class and the cruel irony of it all is that I stopped going to school years ago...but I guess no matter how much I avoid it my brain knows I secretly would love to go back if it werent for dealing with people....anyway...I was in class and I felt this sense of unease. The teacher was speaking but it was just drivel in a low tone. There was a distinct clock ticking sound and I think people around me? Anyways as soon as I decided I couldnt handle it anymore and tried to get up and leave the ground caved under my feet! I fell into a long flat hallway and at the end there was a teacher shouting at me. At this point I realized I was dreaming but that didnt really help. If anything the idea that it was all a dream and that I didnt know how to wake up made me feel even more trapped. The hallways got smaller and smaller and turned to this odd dark blue shade. The whole time I was running my body started to feel tired and stressed and I could still hear yelling in the background. I came to a door at the end of the hall that opened to a precipitous drop and was faced with a stupid decision. Then I woke up? Oddly enough I was just angry when I woke up. Mostly frustrated at the dream itself. I drank a can of mountain dew voltage (I know it was the morning and that was gross) and then went back to sleep where I went on to dream that I was swimming in yellow rice...which was pleasant, but not pleasant enough to make me feel any better about school. Ugh.
