Painting Cult — Tasty Lake Water

I am temporarily staying at a huge lakeside retreat/resort. It’s expensive looking and has been so fun. I’m with brian and David and Andrew. There are more people I know. It’s dinner now, and I am standing at the top of the stairs with 2 of my friends and everybody is having drinks and dinner. It’s pleasant but I’m feeling melancholy so I watch from the top of the stairs. There’s a huge toast where everybody is drinking the same wine but I am not interested so I stay at the top of this huge staircase with my friends, watching. Suddenly everybody who drinks the wine starts having seizures and then they all get up and run into the lake screaming. The wine had something creepy in it. Because it was making everybody act crazy and drink the lake water and dance around and jump and scream. They’re taking huge gulps of lake water acting like it’s the most refreshing substance in the world. Suddenly then they all get ridiculously calm and listen to everything she says like robots. David is sitting there at a table near the back and he didn’t drink the wine so I creep down the stairs and say “baby u can’t drink it pls don’t drink it” He doesn’t care what I’m saying. I can see it in his eyes. He looks me dead in the face and drinks the wine, for some reason we both know it’s going to kill him. He starts to look really uncomfortable and his face gets really pale and I can’t watch him die I can’t I can’t I can’t please show me something else, I’m trying so hard to skip this part. Please don’t make me watch it. The dream changes and my dad has come to visit me as the commune to help me escape, he doesn’t know all the details because limited reception and seeing eyes. We have dinner with the lady in a huge ballroom that looks out over the lake. she is stretching canvases over frames while we talk. I mention that I am leaving, and I appreciate her and everything she’s done for me. I want to leave on good terms but I hate her and I hate what she’s done. As soon as I say I am leaving she snaps her head up to look at me and in Latin she says “You are nothing. I will kill you” But nobody else hears it. I say “Dad it’s time to leave” She begins to chase us, we are desperately climbing stairs, then a cliff face, and she’s getting so close. I know we won’t make it. I have no choices, I’m so scared. I’m not ready to die. It’s time to wake up so I wake up.
