the other world

I was on a trip with my classmates. We went to some youthhostel kind of place. There were hailstones outside and for some reason one guy that slept in our room believed in the superstition that you had to pick up exactly 4 of those and throw them away. If you threw any less something really bad was going to happen to you. He had only thrown three, so he was really worried. We first laughed at him for believing it, but I threw hailstones too and I had been relieved I had thrown exactly four. I started to doubt myself as soon as I stepped into my bed though. That's when I felt sorry for him and understood his fear, so I tried to comfort him by telling him it wasn't real. He knew that, but hearing it from other people was reasuring for both of us. We set an alarm for the next moment, but my friend insisted on not setting it before 8.30. I usually set it earlier to be able to fall back asleep a few times, but now I was fine with it. When we woke up we were in my friends house with the entire class. She had an adorable pet, but I'm not sure what it was. It looked like a bunny, but also a tiger/large cat. It was large for a housecat, but very small for a tiger and it walked like a bunny. It was pink and purple coloured and very, very fluffy. Oh and it talked. We had a conversation about which was the best place to pet him. The house also had a pool. A friend asked me to go, so we went into the pool. I jumped in with a beautiful salto. In the pool I soon found out I could breathe under water. This was not a normal thing for people in this dream, although it was for me, because I knew there had been other times (other dreams) in which I could do that too. I kept making salto's, or trying to, my friends and I were just having fun. Then for some reason there was this girl who knew we were in a different world. I knew that too, but I hadn't realised it before. The reason everyone else hadn't noticed was because they weren't seeing the world in the way it actually looked like, they saw An illusion instead, but I did. The girl could kill people when she knew their real name. She started by killing someone she hated, but after that she started targetting people that just happened to be around. Everyone ran, but I couldn't because I was standing too close and she was between me and the exit. She said my name, which she knew because we were classmates and basically sentenced me to death. I was now supposed to die within a day. I wasn't really worried though, because I knew at the moment she cursed me, that she hadn't used my real name. She knew the name I went by as her classmate, but at that moment I knew I was actually from that world and there I had a different name. I flew away (yeah I can fly in dreams too, dream me was not surprised) and joined my classmates. There I saw our teacher in a weird dress, a very fancy one. She was surprised I could see it though, because most people saw something else, an illusion making her look normal. We went into an abandoned city, because we knew that's where one of our cursed friends had ended up. We soon found her, impaled by vines from a huge plant, where she had apparently been stuck, barely alive, for years. Time was weird in this place. She had clearly been in a lot of pain, but was glad to see us. I think she did mention the fact that I could see things I shouldn't be able to and that I had another name. We couldn't save her anymore, she was dead after our conversation finished. We had to leave soon, because of the bugs. The had huuuuge nests everywhere around that place. I realised she must have faced those as well, along with the vines. We went towards the maine house near our dead classmate (well I flew and I think some others did too. Flying was more common than breathing under water here), which was where she used to live before being impaled. There were bugs there too, but we had to go there to read her notes. Before I actually heard any of them I woke up. I could not remember my secret name anymore after waking up, but a part of me actually felt like that might be for the best.
