Ruesia's Dream Journal

I have trouble sleeping, so my dreams are often broken and change quickly due to waking briefly at least hourly. The first memory of the dream I have is being out in the woods. My fiance and I are wearing hunting attire, red plaid with big rubber boots & dark brown, canvas pants. It seems like the clothes you would wear hunting water fowl.

We are walking through the woods and I am aware that we are hunting or searching for something. We are aware that we are trying to find something first, and if we do, we win the tournament. We become aware that we are looking for a large boar. It is supposedly hidden. There are many people looking for it; families & fathers with sons.

We feel disheartened that there are so many, but suddenly, there is a big canvas bundle in front of us, covered in brush & debris, and we look at each other. A younger boy, maybe 17, and his friends are nearby and notice us looking at this bundle. We are sure it is the boar, hiding. The boys start hollering and I leap over the bundle, as if to claim it. A large number of people arrive and congratulate me. I get on a walkie-talkie to announce my discovery. The man on the other side says, "Are you sure?" I pull back the canvas and beneath it are corpses. It looks to be a family that was hiking/camping in the area and didn't make it out. They are all wrapped in the canvas and have been dead under a week. The crowd shudders back, and I start running from the smell. I lose my fiance in the panic.

I am suddenly in a large, concert setting. The skies are black and there is fire around us. There are bleachers, but they are all set vertically, without any slant. I am climbing to the top rung. There are musicians, rock musicians, playing guitar and drums. They are levitating in the center of these bleachers that are at least 100 feet up, and they are covered in flames. They have large, bat wings. I am horrified as I sit in the bleachers. The bleachers sway and I see parts of it beginning to fall off. The winged creatures, black and scaley, fly closer and are attacking the concert goers. I rush to get to another set of bleachers. My mother and father are there, listening to the music, and are oblivious to the chaos. They tell me to sit still. It is dark and now the flames are a bright white. I am teetering on the bleachers, which are now squishy and almost like a pontoon boat, and I am trying to avoid contact with the winged creatures.

I am now at my parents home. I am trying to figure out how to operate a shower. There is a tub and a shower curtain, but the curtain won't close all the way and I am trying to turn on the shower. The tub is in the middle of the room and the curtain rod goes in an oval arond the tub. The fabric of the curtain won't reach around. I fumble with it for awhile. I had been talking to my parents, but the house is suddenly quiet. My fiance is there and we are getting ready to leave. I look around and realize my family is dead. My fiance seems undisturbed by this, but I begin to panic, wondering what I will do now that they are all dead; suddenly and with no explanation. I remember crying out "I'm all alone now!"

Next, I am at a large, outside building. It appears to be near an ag farm; the buildings are made of cement. It is almost like a hangar, with large holes in the walls for mock windows. The sky above is dark and grey and it is chilly. I feel like I am in school again, at a high school, wandering around. I see an old school mate. She is skinny and barefoot and takes off running down a dirt road to an older looking house surrounded by trees. I run after her, and when I come inside, she is there with an older woman and man, dressed in colonial clothing.

I realize I must get away and try to leave the house. I am now on a farm, and there is a fence around us, and the land is dirty and barren. The sky is dark, but there are no apparent clouds, just a thick cover of them. Its overcast. Suddenly, my ex shows up and he is trying to get me to talk to him. I try to run, but I can't. He follows me. I run out of the gate and back to the cement structures. The dark skies reappear. Dark, almost purple clouds.

It is muddy. I notice my ex there. I run into the cement structure and my old friend from middle school is there in a little, red car. I run to her and tell her my ex is following me. She gets out and starts yelling at him to leave me alone. He walks up to his car, an older car, and because it is so overcast, he begins to close the convertible top. But the whole car folds up and digs into the mud.

I am suddenly walking across a grassy area. There is a fence, an asphalt road, and on the other side, my old high school. I notice another ex there. He is playing soccer in the grass with friends. He is wearing a yellow shirt and he looks as if he doesnt' realize it is cold outside. I walk out to him and we talk as if we are old friends again. I then walk into the school and sit in on a class. I get a large, red, gold-trimmed book and I am carrying it outside. The sky is even darker now. I walk back over to where the boys are playing soccer and lean on the post. I hear a crack in the sky and I look up. There is a dark, black vortex forming in the sky and the clouds begin to swirl slowly around it. Everyone starts to scream and the wind begins to blow.

I am panicked. I realize I am all alone. I am aware I have a fiance, but I feel as if he is nowhere nearby. I am scared and I run to the other side of the road on the cement sidewalk and there are other people there, my age, students wearing backpacks, and we stare at the vortex and we start to sing a song together about the apocolypse.

The alarm went off and I woke up for the day.
