Dream Journal

A Group Home

What I remember:

I wake up in my bed in one of the eight rooms of the group home. The home looks exactly like my grandmothers house, but is decorated differently. There is a bed across the room and i see a girl with short blonde hair in bright green pajamas. Her name in Tinkerbell. In the room next door is my sister Lillian.This isn't a normal group home. The kids that live there are... different. Our rooms look more like hospital rooms. With hospital beds and decorations that are supposed to look cheery but are depressing instead. A male nurse walks in. In his hand, he holds a blue metallic ball about that fits comfortably in his hand. "You have to swallow this before you go into the pool. It will allow you to see in the dark water." he tells me. "You have until I come and get you to swallow it."

I try swallowing it multiple times and fail. It is big and it makes me gag. The nurse walks in and i shove the ball behind my back. He takes me to a huge circular pool that is pitch black. I see my sister standing at the other side. I am forced to step into the pool. I shove the ball in my mouth and finally swallow it. It is disgusting and i feel the huge lump slide all the way down  my throat. I dive under at the last second. For some reason i am able to breathe. The man said the object was to catch the most big fish. I catch fish and then suddenly i black out. I wake up in my bed and the male nurse is standing next to me looking at a chart. I ask him what happened and he claims it must have been a dream. 

I am sitting on the couch talking to my sister Lilly and i tell her about the strange dream i had. "I had the same one, well, you know it was in my perspective, but you get the point." We instantly determine it wasn't a dream.

One of the kids in the group homes name is Red. We are walking through the woods and she is a wolf all of a sudden. We run through the parking lot trying to catch her as she runs through, slaughtering people. Finally she turns human again. We walk the rest of the way through the woods to a rocky cliff above a beach. in the middle of the ocean there are 5 magazines. Apparently I can fly so, I have to be the one to get the one we need. I fly off the cliff and steering is so hard. It's like trying to run away and being in slow motion. I land on top of one of the magazines. I grab the one and fly back up to the cliff.  We walk over the cliff and a couple of mountains, landing us at a cave in a mountain. We walk inside to find it is the home of a giant. we walk to the very back of the hall and there is a giant pinball machine. We hear the giant coming. We climb to the top of the pinball machine and there is a tube acting as a slide with a note from the female giant who apparently left the male one. "just wanted to see if anyone could  get out." We all take turns sliding down the tube and just as i exit the tube the giant rips it out. We run as far as we can. Then when we reach the exit, the giant is waiting for us. He claims he has a challenge for us. If we can make it through the pitch black cave, we can leave. We accept. We jump over pools of poison and hills of monsters.  Finally we reach the end of the cave. Thinking I am free, I fly out of the cave entrance, knowing everyone else is gone. But, the giant has a sheet that looked like the ground and sky and traps me in it. I am taken to a cave where we sit. Eventually the giant falls asleep and i escape. I run back through the woods to the group home, and I walk into the kitchen to find something to eat. I walk outside into the woods and find a tree-house. I climb up the ladder and go inside. I walk in and see nobody is there. Out of nowhere a girl pulls me behind a desk. "I'm Rapunzel. We have to be quiet when we leave."  We walk across the tree house and i step on a board that creeks. A man awakes and starts screaming. I run down the ladder with Rapunzel but her hair gets caught in the ladder. "just go!!" she screams at me. I run as fast as possible to the group home to find a blonde woman waiting for me. She wants me to come and live in her condo. I agree, but only if my sister can come along. Once we arrive at the condo she explains she wants us to work for her magazine. i look at it and it is the same one that got us to the giants place.

And then I woke up.
