ocean dreams

Date: 12/5/2016

Night one: ocean in dark, cold water, have to swim across but a few men swim for me instead. Only one comes back, and they were brothers. Later the other two make it, too. They are in bad shape. Night 2: I'm in a weird school program thing and have to give a presentation. I made my presentation a long time ago and don't understand how I'm going to speak about controversy in Beethoven's music. A group of people pulls me aside and says we have to leave before cell service goes out and they trap us. So we leave and I'm at moms house. I'm eating a weird fruit that's like a pomegranate grapefruit and it's really challenging to cut and eat. Mom gets mad and picks me up over her head and I use my weight to pull her arms back. I'm scared and angry so I pack up all of my stuff (including th fruit) and leave. I end up in a place where I'm on the other side of this wall from my dad. I really want to get to him but I can't, no matter which way I try to get there (it's like a tiny house and I try going through different rooms and keep ending up at this wall that I can't get around. I try the vent and end up back in the same room. We are by/on an ocean, so I decide to jump into the ocean to try and reach him. I don't think I make it. Day 3: I'm at school, having to walk back and forth from a common house and all of my classes. At one point I leave a stack of my stuff somewhere and keep finding it all over the place in the dream. The weather switches from cold and icy days to wet nights. There's flooding going on when I'm trying to go home the last night. It's day time and I'm able to overlook a river that I travel by to get to where I'm staying. I am trying to show Justin how there is an extra stream on the other side of the road since the last time it flooded, and I'm worried that it will flood faster this time. He sees what I mean, but the road home isn't blocked, so we go for it. I end up split up from him walking when the entire road is engulfed with water and I drop all of my stuff. I'm trying to pick it back up but it's all sopping and useless at this point. When I get home, it's dark and my stuff is outside the door next to a big puddle. An Asian guy helps me pick it up while someone else is watching. At one point shaya calls me irresponsible for not keeping track of my things and also gets mad because I'm late getting into the car because I can't grab all of the notebooks and papers. I'm living in a tiny octagon-shaped house. I'm there with Graham after school trying to get ready for another thing I need to be at. I decide to leave, driving my car on this bridge, and there are storm warnings. Suddenly there are huge waves going over the bridge, which is wood and swaying all over the place. The bridge becomes like a walking bridge and I have a female lion with me instead of my car. She's about to go off the bridge into the water, so I grab her, even though I'm afraid she will bite me out of fear. We try to run across the bridge, but the waves are too massive and we end up having to run inside again. Graham says that he's surprised because the storm came early, but he thinks the city will protect the outlet that I live on and my house will be fine. I feel like i need to take my important things and run, and so graham helps me do that. Before we leave, at the door of the house, I look the opposite way from where we are going and wonder if that way would be easier. But I decide to take the bridge. Instead of the cat I have a spoon, so getting across is actually easy. We sprint between waves and make it. At the other side, there's a door at the bottom of some stairs, and this leads to another house. From this house I'm looking out the window and see Leah come into my house from the other direction. I panic and say that we need to go warn her and at this point I realize that my spoon isn't my lion. So I go running back. I go down the stairs (dream logic), but trip and end up hurting myself. I run across the bridge anyway, and the water is entirely calm now - Graham is still catching up to me. When I get home I try to explain to Leah what's going on and that we need to leave. She says my lion is her favorite cat when I pull her out from under the bed and pick her up.
