it was this horridly complex dream that wracked my body. i'm not sure what brought it about, or why i would finally have it within the depths of such a calm day. but as i awoke from it, my 6 hours of sleep went unnoticed. it was as if i hadn't slept at all. i've retained what i can and will try my bet to decipher it without giving away information.
i sauntered around the back-roads to my old school with a girl i can't quite place. her face looked like a mangle of people within my waking life. as we drove a battered, faded red truck passed us while i let out a trill of laughter. the boy in the car turned in my direction as if i had beckoned him, we locked eyes but my words couldn't escape the tightness in my throat. he shook his head, suggesting i had missed my chance to reach him.
it was the first a several dreams that hurt for reasons i can't explain.
i was in a dorm bathroom, a saying in quotes was smeared across the mirror in a harsh red lipstick that dripped around the edges like blood. i studied it, my thoughts flashing to a large pillared structure with the same words etched into it's framework. my friend and i raced to the building and ransacked a few rooms looking frantically for our next sign. i came across a weighted desk, looking for a sign. there, under the foot of drawers were whatever it was i was searching for. my hand couldn't quite reach underneath to peel the paper taped almost to the floor. i called my friend to me, insisting he lift the desk just enough to allow my hand some room. i ripped the papers from their holding place and read them uncomprehendingly. october 28th. on every single note the date was etched in large red ink, whether it was encrypted or not.
something in my mind signaled disaster even after i was dragged back into waking.
