Clay and Deerpark

Date: 6/29/2019

For some reason I was going to Deerpark with Sophia. It was around this time because they’re second week of family retreat was going. I don’t know how to explain it though because it was different then normal deerpark. Like the location was different. But anyway we get there and we’re like walking down and we see the teen group and it’s hella small and then for some reason Clay is there doing the second week, and he runs up and hugs me and gasps and is super shocked that I’m there. I hug him back and it feels like the best thing ever. Then he and I start running away from the monastics trying to spend time together and find a private place alone. This is where it gets weird, because the Monastics would never Act like this. But they would yell at him every time they saw him to go back to “class”. At one point it got dark and it was night and Clay and I were outside. He suggested we go to this hollow log but I said there could be a bear in it. Sure enough, a baby bear crawls out. We start wondering where the mom is when we stumble past a random old dude fishing. He offers us freeze dried beef jerky, and then M&Ms, which clay and I both decline. Then we notice the mama bear on the other side of the pond where the man is fishing. Apparently we’re threatening to the mama bear and she runs towards us. I’m pretty sure it’s about to kill us but it goes past us to the baby. Somehow like the fishing dude has a chainsaw? And he swings it around in defense and cuts down a bunch of trees and shit. So then clay and I find a nice little nest place in the grass hoping that we can stay there for the night but I can hear the mama bear a ways away and say that we’re too close to the bear. So we travel around and it starts getting light out and some monastics spot us and we run from them and turn a corner thinking we’re safe but then they’re there and they tell us to go to the meditation hall and I start to go because I dont want to start a fight but clay refuses so they start dragging him down there but when I go in they keep him outside. This weird lady apart of the teen program asks me what I’m presenting and I explain to her I’m not really apart of the program. She glares at me and tells me to sit down at this table thing. I leave space at the end to my right for clay. I hear the door open and Berg walks in. I pat the seat next to me on my left and give him a sad smile. He sits down and says “sucks bro.” It’s hard to focus on the “presentations” because I’m watching clay and these monastics argue outside and he’s yelling at them and they’re restraining his wrists and then somehow is mom is there but she’s got like 3 other little kids and she’s completely ignoring clay and yelling at the kids and she lets them take clay away and i run outside screaming as they drag him away. And then I wake up.
