4/17/10 - The Disappearing Cruise Ship
Dream Non-dream Lucid

I was on a huge cruise ship with my grandma and second cousin. The ship was extremely luxurious and beautiful, with lots of extra features. We took an elevator up several floors to a shopping center. Apparently my cousin needed some bras. We went into a small shop with lots of clothes on shelves along the wall, and others in large baskets. My grandma had to dig through a whole basket to find Allie's bra size.
When we were finally about to leave, something really weird happened that no one else seemed to notice. Suddenly, everyone - including myself - was eight or more years younger than they had been before! Which made me about four or five years old. Allie had disappeared altogether, and my grandma looked about the same but with less gray hair and wrinkles. One thing everyone knew was, somehow, the cruise ship was about to disappear. We all rushed into the elevator in a panic, trying to escape. How stupid. Before we could go down even a single floor, the cruise ship vanished from around us, and we fell into the river. People were falling out of the sky and on top of eachother. Because the ship had been docked, many were fortunate enough to land in water right by the dock itself and scramble out. Myself included. I stood on the dock and looked around desperately for my grandma. It seems I only cared about her safety and not that of my cousin - or even my own brother, who I had spotted further down the dock and who had miraculously escaped the effects of the time warp. I continued searching for my grandma, crying because I thought she'd drowned, until some rescue guy came to take me away.
Then I was back on the cruise ship with my grandma and Allie, shopping for that bra and back to age 13. Supposedly my previous experience had been a vision of the future. I wasted no time. Quickly I grabbed my grandma's hand and pulled her to the stairway. Then the weird age/time shift happened again. Nobody noticed but me, once again. I told my grandma I had something important to do and I guess she decided to humor her cute little granddaughter because we began running down the stairs as fast as possible. I passed my brother, Will, on the way. "You had the vision too?" I asked. He nodded. "We have to get out of here." Will reassured me, "I'll be fine, just take Meme [our grandma] and get out of here." I took my grandma's hand and ran ahead, off the ship and onto the dock. We went on to a small shopping center nearby and found my mom. The ship still hadn't disappeared yet but I knew it would soon. My grandma kept wanting to leave me with my mom so she could get back on the cruise ship. I insisted she stay on land, going so far as to tell her about my vision. She dismissed it as a childish story and went back anyway.

I woke up.

You may not have noticed but I've never been on a cruise ship before.
