dreams about me and you

Last night I had a dream that I was back in my old high school, but at my current age, and that I was meeting with people there for a reason that wasn't totally clear, but it seemed that the US had been taken over by nazis or something and I was trying to put together a resistance movement. Then these two guys and a woman came in and said they were part of this nazi group, and that they were going to cut my head off. I asked how they were going to do that and woman told me, "Oh, we have a machine conveniently located in the basement!"

And then she cut off all of my hair and I was sad because it looked like shit but then it didn't matter because I was going to get my head cut off anyway. So I asked if I could go to the bathroom thinking I could find a way to escape and the woman was like "of course" and I asked her if she was going to escort me and she said "no, there's no reason to" and gave me this evil smile. So as I was walking to the bathroom I was thinking how to get out of the building and when I walked in I saw the bathroom was stacked with piles and piles of bloody dead bodies without heads and some were missing their hands and feet and rats were crawling between the bodies. And then I thought (seems funny now that it's just a dream) "it's really hard to comprehend someone telling you that you are going to die until it actually happens".

My heart started racing and I thought I have to get out of here and I could hear these nazi people marching in the hallway, filling up the building, so I went out to the hall and pulled the fire alarm and everyone started running and I mixed in with the nazi group and we were all running down this dark tile hallway towards an open door where the sun was shining and I could hear the woman who had cut off my hair screaming for people to stop me.

And then I woke up.

And then I fell back to sleep after drinking some water and had a dream that I was going to SMS text you about the dream even though I guess we aren't emailing or speaking anymore, and somehow I accidentally hit "call" instead of "SMS text" and I heard your voice going "hello? hello?" so I started talking to you about my week and you interrupted me and said "look at the screen on your blackberry" so I did and there was a graphic that looked like the work breakdown structures you see in most government contracts and it had things like "real estate", "business", and "housing" on it. Then you said "these are the only things I talk to people about on the phone, and you don't have anything to do with these things, so please don't call me again" and then you hung up on me. I was sad because I wanted to tell you about my dream. And then I woke up again...

And decided to NOT go back to sleep again and also to stop watching documentaries about concentration camps or lynchings right before bed time.
