Saving Dandelion

I went out. I was home from college or kept from going to college. I met some people and went out for the evening leaving my pet rabbit home with my mother. My mother had pets, she knew how to take care of them. I'd only be gone a few hours I wasn't worried. But I came home to find she'd taken his water bottle away so her cats water could be down on the floor. Apparently his water had been placed in a separate cup to keep it separate. He was acting very thirsty so I fetched it and went to givd him water. But I noticed he was snuggles with the cat, her cats. They ahd played with him and ones claws were still stuck into his side. The fur looked like ti had been shorn almost clear off where they were clawing. I pulled off the cats claw, desperate to get water into him. Maybe I was too fast but it left deep bloody gouges in his side. I fed him water but he had a hard time drinking. He was very thirsty so he tried but he didn't often drink out of a bottle with the little ball and I had to help. It was then I noticed his side with the scratches was caved in. The wound in his side as more serious than I had thought. I was able to pull aside a flap of wounded flesh and fur and peer into this stomach cavity. Inside it was clear he was in bad shape. The ribcage was utterly dislodged, part of his spine was crumbling, more bones were cumbijg in places. He was very calm and seemed content but I was so worried. I needed to get him help right away. At first I just tried to put things back where they belonged. I knew he couldn't heal if his ribs were back in the right place. I tired up a napkin, then changed my mind and switched to a paper towel and twisted it for rope to wrap around his bones and hold them in place. But I couldn't get the material to work. It became paper, like card or photo stock, and wouldn't twist adequately enough. I decided to call the hospital. I didn't tell them he was a rabbit, I knew they wouldn't see him. We went into the city and the doctor I had called immediately began working on him. She began setting his bones with rods. She asked me to keep him calm. I was with someone, a dude, he was my friend and helping me. He might have been family or one of the friends I was hanging with that evening. Anyway the doctor saw my rabbit in an hour from when I found him, pretty quick. And I went over to the school with my friend. I must have been home visiting or planning to go to this college, it was a digital art college. It paid you to go there, like a job, you worked certain hours. It was very high end, a ritzy college. I really wanted to go but my family objected. They wanted me to leant the craft from them, magic, but I wanted a more formal education. I mostly wanted out from under my family's thumb, and away from my mother. She was utterly incompetent, stuff like what happened that evening was common place with her. Why didn't she just watch the rabbit, hell leave him in his cage if you had vicious cats about. Anything. Not take his water away? It didn't matter. After this incident my kind was basically made up. I was here because there were some friends I hadn't seen in a while. I think I knew them in the past? We fell out because I didn't go here or something. Because I was so wrapped up with family. But I really missed them and I suddenly realized they were right. I did belong here. I should go to this school. But talking to a female teacher, who had a very high position here in this school/company I soon realized something was a bit off. She was after something from me, and I dodged but I really wanted out of there. And I suddenly knew 2hathad happened wasn't an accident. It had been a curse. I began searching for the papers to undo the curse, they were three words on three tiny squares of paper. I kept searching, looking, and the female teacher kept coming after me, had the whole company helping her. She wanted something serious from me. I am not sure what it was. I met my girlfriend in one of the offices, she worked here/attended. She had been spied on by a camera in her office but she and I didn't know that yet. She began helping me solve the mystery of the curse. We found those papers but didn't know what they meant. Suddenly the gloves were off and the school blatentlg turned against me, trying to stop me from leaving. We outwitted them again and again but they were at every turn. The ways out were blocked. One involved getting in a small chamber which leg tonlyr olm for your head to stick out and letting the technology inflate your head until you popped and disappeared like a bubble, reappearing elsewhere. The tech looked unstable and the woman behind the controls smirked sinisterly. We didn't even consider going that way. We, rather I with the last of my money, had to buy a frozen meal, a pot pie or hot pocket, to get out. Miraculously I found a vegan one, it was more expensive, but someone paid for it for me. I didn't know who. It was out ticket out and we rushed to leave. But the female teacher cornered us. I led us in this new plan and we found a copy room and copied the papers, leaving them on the floor for her to find after we finally got out of the building. Now all was to do was to break the curse. ~ A lot of this dream was amorphous, very psychedelic and unsolid. I kept repeating the same actions three times each because I knew three times sealed a spell so it would happen. Each and everything I did was done thrice. I tried to break the spell or do a spell dozens of times in the dream. Someone gave me advice always go left never right, and something about the lesson I was supposed to learn (in regards to relationships) or about my life purpose but I forgot it. I didn't even get it completely when it was said. I often blamed my mother for the rabbits desperate state. She just turned away, didn't even apologize or make excuses or give me anything, it was very common with her do to so.
