I just woke up from a bad nightmare!  I was spending the night in this old woman’s big one-story house, along with a lot of other people.  There were a lot of bedrooms and I wasn’t sure which bed I was supposed to get.  My old friend Sandy (who I haven’t seen in 15 years) was there, it was cool talking to her, and I think John was there too, and some others.

There were a lot of animals running around too, and in the dream I think I was travelling with John and many of the animals were actually ours, including at least one little dog, a cat, and a lovely white giant cat that he’d just acquired.  Not a housecat, but a real zoo animal, I don’t know what kind.  It was a baby but already about three feet long and a foot high.  I was surprised he’d gotten it, I was all… uh… okay!  Long as it’s a nice cat!

The old lady had a maid, and I was hungry so the maid helped me find some leftovers in the fridge… they’d just had a party or something so there was plenty to eat.  As the house settled down I found a bed and laid down (John was gone by that time).  As I was laying there the old lady came in the bedroom dressed up in a KKK outfit or something… the hat was different, it looked more like a baker’s hat, but it covered her face.  She lifted it up to show me it was her.  The sheets I had been laying on were white, and I suddenly knew that the sheets she had put down for me had writing on the underside of the top sheet; the lady was a witch of some kind and I was supposed to lay there in bed and study the writing underneath to be indoctrinated into her cult.  But I had already discovered this and switched out the sheets before she came into the room.  (I didn’t remember this until she came in.) The lady stood over me all delighted that she had a new member, and I got really scared because I knew she was about to see that I’d changed the sheets.  She did, and she ran off in the darkness and I started freaking out.  I got up and started running around looking for her so I could yell at her to leave me the fuck alone — I tried yelling out but my vocal cords weren’t functioning.  There were no other people there now.  Ran into one bedroom but there was only the dog and the big white cat, who I scared off because of my running.  (Oh dear… don’t be scared, kitty! I’ll get us out of here somehow!!) I finally saw her in a bedroom way down the hall and I yelled out "YOU LEAVE ME ALONE!!!"

…And I’m pretty sure I yelled that out FOR REAL.  I do tend to talk in my sleep a lot… ha ha.  I woke up after yelling that, I wonder if it was very loud?  I was scared as hell when I woke up, now I just feel weird.  She was like the old lady from Rosemary’s Baby, and I think she was about to try to kill me because she knew I was not going along with her weirdo indoctrination.  ::shudder::  Pretty freaky.  I’m going back to bed now I guess, I hope I don’t have any more bad dreams.
