Hopeless Wanderings

This is another old dream that I found in a folder somewhere. It didn't have a date on it, but I'm guessing it was from my first year of middle school in 7th grade because it mentions a teacher from that grade.


I was on a 1 week camping trip. The same counselors that were in camp in real life were there, and also some of my teachers, like Mr. Jorgensen and Ms. Weise. But for some reason, the camp was so high up in the air that everyone had to wear harnesses. Anyway, camp was really fun. I don't remember all the games we played there though. Camp went by really fast. On the last day, we all ate fudge sundays and just hung around. Until.. Somebody decided to bring out the big red ball and pass it around by the edge of the camp. Mr Jorgensen was talking to other people by him and he was standing next to the edge, and he wasn't wearing a harness. Anyway, the ball came to me but it slipped out of my hands and started rolling towards Mr. Jorgensen. He tried to catch the ball but it started rolling off the edge. Mr Jorgensen reached to grab it, but the he fell. He just fell. Sarah, one of the counselors, jumped after him with a parachute, but she was too late. Everyone rushed down off camp and watched. there was Sarah, standing in the water, searching for the body of Mr. J. I was in shock. I was too scared to look in the water, so I went back up to camp. I felt really bad for Mr. J, but no one else seemed to care. I knew he would be on the news the next day. But, I woke up and didn't feel like going back to sleep and continuing my dream.
