Vipassana was a horrible horrible cult . I can’t remember all that heppened, only really after we escaped. Somehow we got out - linnea me stephanie and Kim (yes cousins for some reason). We drove, there was a cool small town (like a barrio in a big city really, cartoonish colors and everything close together) and stopped to stay at this cool hostel w shitty rooms and sky blue walls. Ours was a crumply mattress low to the ground and a white chair and lamp. I think we all went out to eat after we secured the rooms. Then we were traumatized and exhausted and speaking of making the trip home the next day: linnea and I decided to go to Trader Joe’s in the morning and were getting along really well. I was delighted and felt tentatively heartbreakingly fond for her while being so beaten down and on guard, I felt these complex feelings very realistically in the dream. but when we pulled back up to the hostel we looked and the hotel next door had full windows. One white curtain with a yellow light behind showed ominous shadows. ALL of the other women in vipassana including the leaders were there . Chasing and fighting .. lots happened. I got separated from L and cornered by them, I started hitting them in the heads with these iron bars in diff preschool like colors. When I would their face would crumple, then they’d take a pill with water from a woman nearby and advance again. For awhile I kept them busy this way in an elevator. Then I ran down the stairs at the landing, made it to my car, but someone else (a man) as already there trying to get in as I fumbled for the key . Woke up disoriented and hostile
