I was walking up my street on a gloomy, rainy day when it started to change. The buildings were different, and it slowly turned from a residential street to one filled with shops. I started passing buildings filled with people that I used to know. People I had gone to elementary school with who were now adults like me. I saw Nathan and Kassie in the post office in a long line. A girl I had never met had started walking with me and talking, being kind of annoying. Nathan saw me through the window, but I avoided looking at him. The dream skipped, and everyone I knew had come out and started talking to each other. Sarah was there, but she wouldn't talk to me or really even look at me. Nathan kept looking at me, and I could feel myself get self-conscious. The dream skipped again, and we were in my pap's van, being driven by him. I think it was supposed to be something like a haunted hay ride through the forest. It was completely dark outside, in the woods at night. The radio was playing a weird, upbeat song about vampires. It went something like "ooooohhhh waaa, but across the street is a vampire's squeal (or scream or something like that, it barely made sense). Just as Nathan tried to start talking to me, there was a tall, featureless shadow figure walking straight towards the car on the road ahead. It got closer and closer until we drove through it and everyone in the car screamed. I felt my heart rate go up, but I tried to rationalize it as one of the scary things that was supposed to happen, but my dream self was too scared and I woke up with my heart pounding.
