I randomly keep a sort of “dream journal,” it’s just a Microsoft word document in which I write about weird dreams I have every once in a while. I was reading back through it today and I found this super weird entry from this past summer, I was quite entertained and thought I’d share it. I’ve claimed that I am the world’s best dreamer (it’s half the reason I love sleeping so much!) and this only proves it to be true… haha, the weird things that go on in my brain.

Elise and I and some other people for some reason join this weird cult let by this crazy lady. She is friendly and we all are excited and we do everything she says and we fill out these surveys about ourselves to help her or something.
So we’re all really into it, until, we realize that this lady is crazy evil and she is most likely going to kill us or something. And it’s night and it’s rainy and she has us (I think there are like 5 of us) all corralled into a King Soopers. And now, it is suddenly apparent that this lady is not only crazy evil she has like, powers and stuff and she transform into things and fly (I don’t’ see her do any of this but for some reason I suddenly realize she’s capable).
And in the back of this King Soopers everyone is tied up and going to die, but the crazy witch leader lady says she has to, “destroy the leader first” and I become the leader. At no other point in my dream did I have a more significant role than any of the rest of the group but now, I know with out a doubt that I am the leader and so I panic.
Now, this is really strange… I do have an intense affinity for fruit roll-ups… and I probably crave them at least once a day… but, all the sudden the crazy witch lady is looking at me and I at her and I take a small step backwards and tell her I need to finish peeling my fruit roll up (before she can destroy me?) and step backwards again and she doesn’t immediately follow after me.
So, buying myself a few seconds by peeling my fruit roll-up?!? I stumble backwards fall to the ground and army crawl as fast as possible (which isn’t all that fast… I imagine I could’ve sprinted, had the same effect, and gotten away much quicker…) down the aisle and through the front door into the parking lot.
I’m in the parking lot and the crazy witch lady has almost caught up to me but she does her transformation thing and she tries to turn into a mouse (huh?!?) but somehow I get her to turn into a fruit roll-up (!?) and I grab her and squish her up in my hand and I’m sprinting as fast as possible. So, I’m running with the fruit roll-up witch lady in my hand and I’m out of breath and I see a cart so I grab it and I’m pushing it while I run and then, I throw the fruit roll-up down into the cart swing it back with all my might and run in the opposite direction to my car.
I get in the car and drive (I wasn’t anywhere I’d been before) and I take these train tracks because I’m scared to be on the main road. I’m so scared, I drive for a really long time and finally come back to the main roads and find out that Elise and everyone else escaped too.
I’m convinced that this lady is definitely going to find me and kill me and then I realize that on the paperwork we filled out we had given her our address. She knew where I lived. I flip out and tell Elise and Elise is not concerned at all.
Safe house, cabin, dad out of town, call him, “don’t worry,” etc.
(The entry ends with that list of words, I think I got tired of writing and so I just gave the general idea of where the dream went… when I began reading through this I had no recollection of the original dream but I amazingly remembered every detail by the end and I think I can sum up how it concluded):
We decided on the Hathoots cabin as a safe house to escape but then find out that the witch lady knows we are there so I call my dad (who is out of town) and explain everything, frantically, and he simply says, “Oh, don’t worry,” and I am furious/panicked that he won’t help us. The end.
