The Abandoned Factory

Date: 10/9/2017

This dream is long, but it was epic, and also kind of hilarious. Kinda makes me want to write it into an actual story. I had a dream where I was in high school again, but I was going BACK to high school as an adult. I was fine with it though. I was in the halls of CHS, and all the kids around me were strangers. I was thinking “its so great to be back!” Though the school was kind of dark and grey and didn’t really look like CHS at all. This first day of school, I was just wandering the crowded halls. I was also excited about marching band again. After school, I walked home like I used to, through streets that looked like the ones where I grew up. It was like I was an adult living as a teenager. I stumbled upon two guys I knew went to my school. They had skateboards and wore punk get-ups. One guy was a chubby baby faced guy, and the other was tall and skinny and had a black Mohawk. I immediately had a crush on the Mohawk guy, who was pretty hot, and I somehow learned was named Vince. I was then hanging out with them and I showed them this abandoned factory that was near where I lived. I suddenly had a BMX bike and we were all about to ride around the factory like Skate or something. I rode down a super steep ramp then joined with the boys up on a cement ledge. A third guy had shown up, who was bald and shirtless and scraggly, and he kind of freaked me out. He told me “it’s too dangerous for a girl to be here! You should go home.” I was like “Psh. Yeah right, it’s not dangerous! I’m not going anywhere!” Then Vince kind of looked me over and said “Eh, you should just go home.” So I rode home on my bike in a huff, mumbling angrily to myself ‘they just wanted to get rid of me, stupid jerks, that’s MY cool abandoned factory, they can’t tell me what to do’. Riding my bike home felt pretty lucid. Like I was rocketing through the air, flying down the streets. My house was in the same place it used to be where I grew up, but it was a totally different house. It looked like a ramshackle bundle of makeshift scrap metal houses. Like something you’d find in Fallout 4. There was clutter everywhere. I remember seeing my youngest brother and sister briefly. My sister was looking anxious and scared. I went to what was my bedroom, which was just a little corner with a bed roll and some of my stuff laying around. Then I left the room and the whole shed area was completely covered in spiderwebs. I could see the spiders vividly. They were those big long legged yellowish spiders that sit in the middle of their webs. I was horrified but decided I just needed to close my eyes and run through and tough it out. I closed my eyes, but as I tried to maneuver the shed, random clutter appeared in my path, forcing me to stop with webs all over me and not knowing which way to get out of them. I was so horrified about the spiders on me, that I curled up in a ball on the ground and swatted at my head. Then I kind of blacked out and the dream skipped to the next thing. I was at school again. This time in class. My teacher was my 5th grade teacher Mr Levanger. The desks were all lined up in typical rows. I sat in the row nearest the classroom door. The chubby faced guy was in the next row over, a desk behind me. And Vince was at the front of the room in the middle, where the teacher could keep his eye on him. Everyone else was just random people that I didn’t know and don’t remember what they looked like. Bald guy wasn’t there. The room had lots of wood and corkboard on the walls and it was musky with wood smell. I know more stuff happened at this part, but I can’t remember. Just, at some point, the chubby guy came into the classroom after going to the restroom, but he was completely naked and holding a can of soda. He just waltzed in and sat at his desk. The classroom erupted in laughter and squealing, and Vince stood up and started yelling stuff excitedly, but Chubby Face just sat down chill as could be and drank his soda. I knew it must be some kind of joke. Chubby Face had red colored tattoos on his shoulders, and some black stamps on his arms and chest. His penis was a weird red/purple color compared to the rest of his body. Suffice to say, Mr Levanger was pissed. He kept telling Chubby to leave, but Chubby just innocently went “what? What’s wrong? What did I do?” So Mr L went up to his desk. He said “this is absolutely ridiculous behavior, and there is no sugary drinks allowed in my classroom!” Somehow that got Chubby to stand up and leave. As was moving toward the door, the whole class also got up to leave. Chubby looked super depressed, so I approached him and gave him a pat on the arm, not even caring he was naked, and said “its okay dude, this happens to everybody!” Going to school naked in dreams does happen a lot I guess... Out in the hallway, everyone was just leaving school it seemed. Everyone was in a hurry to leave. I was walking with Chubby and heard the sound of a trombone playing, and felt a wistful nostalgia for marching band. I also passed by my old adopted freshman (thing we did in marching band was “adopt” lower classmen to show them the ropes of marching band so the director didn’t have to), Brheona. I was so shocked to see her I stopped her in the hall and was like “Brheona!? What are you doing here?! You’re going back to high school too?!” She was like “I never left!” I wanted to talk to her more, but she just kept walking toward the exist. She twisted toward me as she spoke to me and left. I held out my hand to her, and she took it for a second before she became too far away. Being taken by the river of teenagers, I guess. Then I was at the abandoned factory again with the three other guys. I actually think there were more people now, but I don’t really remember. One part of the factory was decked out in furniture and a small tv and I knew it was just stuff we all accumulated from our households unwanted junk. It was awesome! Like a little clubhouse! I remembered another cool thing I wanted to show the guys to really impress Vince. I led them to the top of what looked like silo with its top cut off. We looked down into it and it had a blue and green vortex inside of it. The dudes were all like “wtf?!” And as i started to tell them about it, I had a flashback. I saw me and my friend Corey and his sister Caressa. I was standing in a field of grass under the silo next to Corey and we watched as Caressa jumped into the vortex then appearing out of nowhere between us and falling into the grass. Then I woke up.
