5mg melatonin, didn't set alarm
I was in my english class taking a test, except I was sitting on the side near the door. I was reading through the story (Which became the rest of my dream), when I noticed the answer document and questions were all screwed up. The questions started with 9, then 5, then 1, 2, and 3. On the booklet, half of a question was cut off. I raised my hand. "Oh, don't worry about it, just fill it in to the best of your ability." I thought, Dang, that sure is helpful. So I started to read the story again.
I had to go with my family to this dumb place to meet some rich people. The room/resuraunt was dark and brown, but not in a pretty way, like a steakhouse. In the corner little kids were playing with toys from a pirate treasure chest. There weren't any booths, just circular tables with old fashioned chairs. We sat down, and these wicker baskets went around, each filled with something different- crackers, fruit, boxed desserts, and gum. Only my parents and the other people got gum. When I reached in to get a box of crackers, the lady gave me a sharp look and said, "Put that back. You should know better." Then reached in and gave me a different box. The waiters came by with our food, and I started to eat. The man snorted, and his wife scolded my parents, saying "Didn't you teach your children to eat properly? Everyone knows that the right side of your body must be the closest to the table, and the other side tilted away." I looked around, and sure enough everyone's chair was slanted. I excused myself and left.
Later in the day, my mom told me that we were going to see my sisters play. I said that I didn't want to, and even though she was hurt, stood by my decision. My mom told me how much it meant to her, but I said that we saw it every year, and I wasn't going. As night fell she came home with her hair curled all pretty, and told me it was a pain to get that way. When I asked how, she said it wasn't worth it. Then I remembered exactly what play she was in, the one with Haloween in winter with a horse drawn carriage, and was sad that I didn't go.
The scene changed, and for whatever reason I was a guy, like the Phantom of the Opera. It was now nightime. There was a huge glass building that started slanting as it went up, easily 5 stories. It was owned by the rich man, and I knew he wanted me dead. On the floor was a bunch of white fluffy stuff, but at the same time it felt like sytrofoam. It looked like the ground was covered in snow. Combined with the sharp, blue tinted angles of the architecture and the dark night sky filled with stars, it was beautiful, but lonely. A girl came in, told me I had to do something, and left. I found a wooden book with a stained glass picture on the cover, and knew I had to hide it from her, but open it without getting it too close to something else in that room, or disaster would happen. I had just started to find the lock when I felt her about to come in. I covered it up, and as soon as I finished, she burst through the door. "I don't know what you're talking about." I said.
"Oh yes you do. And I'm going to find it, whether you help me or not."
"I'm not going to help."
"Then you're gonna die."
When she said this, the white stuff turned into shards of glass, and more glass rained down on me. I fell, and dozens of peices got stuck in my hand. It didn't hurt until I tried to pull it out. She said nothing, just watched. I looked at her, pained, then woke up.
I love sleeping. 12 hours, nice. I need to go to bed earlier. Anyways, no clue on how all this got here. There was no talking of etiquette, no Phantom of the Opera, no resturaunt, no play, and no english test (or anything else, for that matter). I wonder what it means.
