The Syringe You in the Neck Guy Dream

I'm hanging out with my wonderful friend Sara Spadaro and we're over at her house.  We're the only ones there and all of the sudden we hear a knock upon the door.  For some reason, we know that this is no good.  In fact, I immediately look for somewhere to hide (paranoid much?).  I crawl under the bed and I hear the door open.  I can hear a man's voice and he starts looking around.  Somehow I am making the bed stick up so he knows I'm under there.  He finds me and takes me and Spadaro to the garage.  Somehow, we escape from him and lock him in there long enough for us to get away.

We run outside and are screaming at the top of lungs.  We're trying to find somewhere to go where we will be safe.  Across the street I see a woman outside and the garage door is open.  She says we can come in there, her husband should be home soon.  We go inside and then a whole group of women (the lady's friends) arrive and come in the house, as well.  We look outside and see her husband.  He's looking all cheesy and smiling and waving at us when suddenly the guy comes up behind him and syringes him in the neck!

We all freak out and start screaming.  Everyone starts running around trying to get out of the house.  I find a window that leads out to the backyard.  I climb through it and get outside.  Then I hop the fence (like it was nothing, I might add) and run up the hill to the woods that is behind these people's house.  Everyone follows me which makes me nervous, because clearly crazy guy is going to see this large mass of people.

I get into the woods and run into my friend Justin Pipkin.  He's sitting there playing a banjo.  He asks what's going on and I (much too calmly for a person who could be syringed any moment) tell him all about it.  Right then, we see the guy and everyone starts freaking out again.  This guy is just syringing people left and right, like it was nothing.  Then I realize, there is one of him and like 40 of us.  I yell to everyone this realization and say let's just tackle this guy.  I get the crowd all riled up and we start toward where he is.  I lead the crowd in a rousing rendition of fight! fight! fight! (you know, the kind everyone yells when there's a fight at school).

The guy is in a bar now, so we go in and we get to him.  He syringes the first guy in the neck and right as we're about to tackle this guy, he gets me in the hand.  I knock the syringe out of his hand and he looks at me and says, ha I got you.  Then someone picks it up and syringes him.  He dies.  I ask if anyone is a doctor.  There is a lady nearby who says she is a doctor.  I have her look at my hand and she says, it's nothing to worry about.  Unconvinced, I walk outside the bar and ask if anyone else is a doctor, not that I don't trust you, I say to the first lady, I just want a second opinion.  There is another doctor who looks at my hand and says I'll most likely be fine but I should probably go to the hospital just in case.  The end.

The Killer Manatee Christmas Special Dream


It’s Christmas time at First Assembly which of course means lots of people, things to do, and food to eat.  I’m strolling through the sanctuary and decide to visit my good friend Kasey who is outside the nursery.  I then head back down the hallway on my way to class (apparently I go to school at First Assembly now).  I get to my class and there are a bunch of us in there and we are playing Christmas bingo.  The professor, who happens to be professor Arzt from LOST, is up there calling out the places on the card and I get bingo.

 I’m telling him what I have when all the sudden he starts going off on how irresponsible Jessie is.  I am so taken aback that he would talk about her like that in front of the whole class.  So I go off on him and tell him how unprofessional that is for him to be talking about her like that in front of everyone and if he has a problem with her he should settle it with her (even in my dreams it’s been engrained in my head to resolve conflict Biblically).  We are arguing pretty heatedly and I finally make him so mad that he literally stomps to the back of the room and then runs out.  We consider class over and I’m determined not to come back to his class so I grab my pictures off the bulletin board. 

As I’m walking back down the hall to try and find someone of the pastoral nature to tell them what just happened, I pass by a classroom with infants and toddlers.  One of the toddlers is choking so I go in and realize they have it under control.  I go back out in the hall and I see my friend Codi.  We are now walking through a clothing store.  The clothes are really cute but everything is Nintendo themed.  So sweaters have Yoshis on them and shirts are embroidered with Mario.  I express my distaste for how the characters totally ruin the clothing and so we leave. 

I’m back at the church and me and a bunch of friends decide to go to the pool.  So we hop in a car and go.  Rachel Stafford is in the front seat and Clay Woods is in the back with me and a few other people.  When we get there I’m the first one to jump in and when I plunge underwater I notice there is a manatee right beside me.  As everyone knows dream-manatees are very dangerous and no longer herbivores but ferocious human eating beasts.  So I naturally alert those nearby to quickly pull me out before the manatee gnaws off my leg.  As they’re pulling me out he grabs my leg with his gums (apparently he gums his victims to death).  They yank me out and we decide to leave.

We’re driving down the road and we see up ahead there is a man lying across the street.  We stop and I get out and ask the man who is standing nearby if the man lying in the street is okay.  He says he doesn’t know.  So I go over the man to check on him.  He is unconscious so I shake him to see if he will wake up.  He does and is very confused.  Then he sees the man that was standing nearby and pulls out a gun.  I ask the now conscious man to not shoot the other man.  I tell the other man to leave and he would get a head start from the police, whom I was obviously going to call.  The man leaves and the now conscious man puts away the gun. 

He wants to know why all these people are standing around and I tell him they were worried about him.  There is a strange looking woman there and she also has a gun, but she puts it away quickly when she notices I’ve seen it.  The man wants to talk to someone besides me so I go and get Clay (I guess cause he’s a guy?) and while they’re talking I try to yet again reach a pastoral type and yet again receive no answer.  The closest I can get is Michael Richardson and he and Tiffany are on their way out of town.  And there, as abruptly as most dreams end, my dream ceases.  The end.

The Day the Angel Left the Beach Dream

So I'm down at my room on the beach (cause apparently I have one of those) and I'm going to go out and lay out for a bit (we all know I'm super white), but there's this frog out there and so I'm messing with this frog.  I get bored of the frog and I walk back up to my apartment.  Emily has cleared out the space outside of my room and we have this whole new extra living room space all the sudden.  I ask her why we haven't done this before and hung out in there.  She says she's having some people over that night and that's what they were going to do.  Adam comes over to get something and he asks me how this area in Conway is because he and two of his friends are looking at houses there.  I tell him that's way too far away.  He doesn't seem to care (typical).

Then Frankie comes over and I'm talking about my little tiny beach house thing and he doesn't know about it so I take him to show it to him.  As we're walking down there, Darreth shouts out the window, but I can't really hear him and I don't realize it's him.  I just know someone's yelling.  So we make it down there and I see Faith and she tells me that Darreth is yelling at me that I need to come back right then.  At that moment, I remember what happened last time.  Suddenly, Frankie starts acting crazy.

I try to get to get him to come back but he starts resisting so I grab his arm and I'm trying to pull him back but that's not working either.  Adam runs down from the apartment and he grabs his other arm and we get him upstairs.  He starts to calm down once he's off the beach.  Darreth comes in and is so mad because the same thing happened to him and I should have remembered.  He pulls out the calendar and reminds me that today is the one day that the angel who lives on the beach (yeah, we have an angel that lives on the beach in my dream, you know, no big deal)  is gone and when the angel is gone, people start to go crazy down there.  I can't believe that I forgot and I am so apologetic.

Then I'm back on the beach but now it's this peninsula type thing that gets more narrow the farther down it you go.  I'm on a horse and there is an evil spirit that is on the beach (guess cause the angel's gone).  I'm riding the horse down the beach and there are all these knights on horses. We're dodging them as we gallop down the beach trying to evade this evil spirit.

This giant thing appears in the sky and spits out fire and kills all the knights in its path. Then it lands on the beach and it's in the shape of the evil spirit's head.  I stop my horse and turn around and I call out the evil spirit's name.  When I do, the giant thing opens and out walks what looks like the bad guy from Power Rangers (Lord Zed).  I ask the evil spirit if his name is Ben, he replies yes.  I tell him that my name is Ben, too, (apparently I'm a boy in this part of the dream) and that I was named after him.  I ask him to have mercy on me because I was named after him and he says that we can go.  But then something happens to make him mad and he changes his mind.  So, I leap off my horse into the water and swim away and escape him.
