A Dream Full Of Bad Feelings

Date: 11/9/2018

My family and I live in a house at the edge of an active volcano. The volcano is mostly dormant, but I still worry about it. One day, I end up in the hospital for an unspecified reason, though it’s implied I fainted. The hospital is a mix of a haunted house, a hospital, and the Sephora at the mall. I walk around it, and it’s creepy and weird. I find out that the volcano by my house is erupting and I become very anxious, hoping that my family evacuated and that all my pets were alright. It turns out that they haven’t evacuated yet, and I become even more panicked. The volcano erupting marks the beginning of the apocalypse. A group takes over the government, and as a result, the schools. I break many of the government’s rules trying to find a lost pink backpack that I apparently owned, with important stuff in it, but my mom tells me it’s not that important. One day, during school, we have to go down into our school’s new nuclear bunker because the nearby areas are being nuked. I end up in a classroom in the bunker with a group of classmates and my 10th grade history teacher. He tells us to sit back in our chairs so we aren’t injured when the nukes go off, and to cover our eyes so the flash from the nukes doesn’t blind us. Some people are forced to stand. We wait anxiously for the nukes to go off. A couple do, but they’re far away and don’t affect us much. Later, after the threat is over, the group that took over the government makes everyone take a test that determines if we advance to the next grade. If you pass, you advance immediately to the next grade. However, I miss the test because I’m in another room, still scared from the nuclear threat and as a result, spacing out. I beg my 10th grade history teacher to let me take it after school or during another class period, which he lets me do, relieving me. I film an amateur movie with an older boy, in which I’m the main female character and he’s the main male character. The movie is terrible and I’m kind of ashamed when people watch it. The boy promised me sex in exchange for being in his movie, and I never got the sex, which disappointed me. I’m on a road trip with my family and extended family. We stop at a strange graveyard, where graves are removed when the family of the dead either dies out or runs out of money. I walk among the graves, sad, and I think about my cat and how sad I’ll be when he dies. My family then goes to a barbecue place for dinner, but it’s slow getting seated. This dream was just really depressing and full of bad feelings. I hated it. I’d consider this a nightmare.
