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.

The Hoovercraft Mall Fight Dream

     I'm walking through church when all of the sudden there's this crazy laser attack (laser attack?!).  At this point my dream becomes extremely morbid and I'll spare you the details.  After the laser attack (again, laser attack?!), I go with a group of people to film this movie or tv show or something like that.  The people I'm with apparently came up with the idea and the script and everything and I'm just kind of there. 
     This guy comes and says that we all need to leave.  Our funding had been cut and we had pretty much been fired.  I could tell that the whole plot concept was really weird so I pull the guy aside and ask him what they were even doing.  He goes over their ideas with me and as he's flipping through his notebook of stuff I see random Christmas songs that have musical staffs but no notes on them, like it was a worksheet and you had to fill in the notes to the song.  He keeps going and he has these great writing prompt worksheets.  I comment on how I wish I had had those when I taught second grade (now that I think about it, why does this guy have Christmas songs and second grade worksheets in his movie/tv script notebook?).
     However, now we're stuck on this ship/hoovercraft weird thing.  With our funding cut we don't know what to do or where to go and the people on board start to get a little crazy.  The guy from earlier (the one who said we were fired) goes psycho and says we have to do something and wants to kill this other guy by throwing him into some weird glowing light something that I know would kill him.  I get in front of the guy he wants to kill and tell him no.  Then he gets all mad and tells me it's because I'm in love with this guy (obviously not wanting someone to be unecessarily murdered equals in love with, duh).  I tell him that's not the reason and talk him out doing it. 
     Then this guy decides that we can get out of there if we try so he gets the ship to work and we zoom off.  We fly to the middle of this forest/jungle thing and there is a little bald headed, white bearded man who is floating (I read Harry Potter yesterday).  We ask who he is and he says god.  At this instance, I'm in a room with a lot of people and all of this is a movie I've been watching.  The little Dumbledore look-alike says he's just kidding and I turn to the person I'm sitting next to and say "whew, that was about to be questionable." 
     I realize how cold it is in this room and I say so.  Someone sees a coat on the floor and offers it to me.  It's this really ugly red patterned coat.  When he passes it to me I ask Cat Davis if it's her coat.  She says yes, takes it from me, and puts it on.  But when she puts it on, it's this super cute red pea coat (the power of Cat).  I'm still cold, so this guy is about to offer me his scarf (his scarf?!  What the heck is his scarf going to do to keep me warm?).  Luckily he decides against it, which is good because he's this guy I didn't like from high school and I was going to have to reject his scarf anyway. 
     The movie is over and I go to the gym.  The treadmill I'm on has another person (Brooke) on it.  We're both on the same treadmill.  My time is over so I think it's going to stop but Brooke's time wasn't up so the treadmill keeps going but I don't realize that so I fall into Brooke and knock her off the treadmill.  I apologize and she doesn't mind and I leave (not really sure what this has to do with the rest of the dream, kind of just stuck in there). 
     Then I go to the mall and I find these really cute shoes I like but I want these teal shoelaces to go with them.  There is another pair of shoes with teal shoelaces so I'm going to switch them out but then Becca Winslow decides she wants the shoes with the teal shoelaces.  I try to persuade her to switch shoelaces but she's not having it. 
     I go out into the mall just in time to see this insane fight going on between my roommate Emily and her sister Ashlee.  They are seriously beating the crap out of each other.  I get in there and break it up.  Emily and I leave and we realize that we're late to this thing we're supposed to be going to.  We get to my car and there is a ticket on it, but I'm in North Little Rock.  I tell Emily that it's time for one of my cop friends to come through and take care of this ticket for me.  We drive off and that's it.

The Mediterranean Sea Eating People Dream

     I was riding my bike to the bank (wasn't feeling the car that day I guess) and one of my tires goes flat.  I realize it but keeping going and make it to the bank. I'm trying to get out some money but the bank is having issues so I can't get the money I need.  I leave and see a group of people I know a little ways down the street. 
     We're by this river and it's got these huge waves going and there are people's houses lined down this river like it was a street.  As the waves are going I see that people are in the river in front of their houses.  But then they disappear like the river is eating them.  It, for obvious reasons, freaks me out but the group of people I'm with go down the river a little ways and there is a part of it that's like a pool.  They're all excited about swimming so they all get in. 
     Emily (my roommate) is there and she tells me to come get in, too.  However, I did just watch this same river eat people just a few minutes ago so I'm a little leery.  Against my better judgement, I go ahead and get in with everyone.  In my head, I know that this is the Mediterranean Sea.  When I get in the water stings, like when you have a cut and you get in a chlorine pool.  Except it stings everywhere.  It was a really weird feeling but I guess I got used to it.  I'm not nervous anymore about it eating me because I can feel the bottom of the pool. 
     Then we all get out and I go somewhere where there is a class of kids.  I'm with Leigh Thomas and we're sending these kids to the bathroom.  They're being really noisy so I get them quiet in my fantastic second grade teacher way that I do (it was good to know I still had it).  They all go and come back and they're sitting down in desks.  On the wall, there is a pocket chart and spelling words in them.  I say how much I'd love to do the spelling lesson since I haven't gotten to do one since I taught second grade.  So Leigh hands me the spelling words.  Dream over.
