so now I'm awake

juldeaI just scared the *#&% out of Penny...
I was dreaming. In the first part of the dream, members of Gaea Spore and the Department of Surrealism were wandering around town where some kind of festival was being held. Maybe it was Fuzzfest 2023. Anyway, we passed by a stage where some guys we knew were playing, and we shouted derogatory things at them... and ran. Some thug-lookin' guys had gotten upset and were then trying to get us. I ran and ran and ran, dodging people in this crowd, and luckily I had a rpg-video-game-like map of the terrain from above, and could kind of organize a path. However, I still got myself into a corner. An alleyway ended up in some fences.
Brendan (![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
withlyn) and Scott (scottage) were nearby, and Scott shouted to run towards an area where we could wiggle under the fence. We did so, the boys running first. There was no reason for them to think me weaker.
At this point the chase changed a bit. The attacker was after me, and had been for a while. I have a feeling that it was even someone I'd recognize in real life, but not as a threat. Anyway, now it wasn't about booing a band, it was about this guy wanting to get me for some reason. So Scott and Brendan had already gotten under the fence, and I was closing in on it, when the guy got me. He pulled me down to the ground, and I remembered self-defense ideas like "the elbow is the sharpest part of your body, use it" and of course that men have a very delicate spot between the legs that is quite vulnerable. Anyway, I managed to flail around enough to hit something, and finally wiggled out of his grasp. He was kind of lying incapacitated as I crawled under the fence, and I told him to leave me alone and never bother me again. At this point, I made a mental reminder to change my ICQ number so that he couldn't find me (ahh, dreams).
So I caught up with Scott and Troy (guvnor), very exhausted and still high on adrenaline. We were walking along kind of a "main street" of this town attempting to calm down. We passed by a store that I liked, and asked if I could go in there and browse in attempts to calm myself. The guys were okay with it, so I went in and looked around a bit.
Now I'm in the store and it's a long time (months, years) later. I'm still browsing these racks, but I see something and gasp and move behind one. The bad man is carrying a box to the back room of the store - he works there! No matter what I do, I can't hide, and he sees me. However, I don't notice a spark of recognition, so I very nervously pretend that nothing is going on and continue browsing (finding a nice pair of khaki cord overalls!)
So I browse further and further towards the back of the store until I realize I'm in the back corner and almost everyone else has left the store. The lights suddenly get dark as I see the door close to a crack. There is enough light to see a figure slowly advancing towards me, hands out in front of it menacingly. It's him, and I know it. I'm in my room now, sitting up on my bed, and he's coming for me.
I open my mouth to scream, and nothing comes out. It's like all sound stops at my throat. I know people are nearby, goldbug is nearby, and if I can just alert them they will save me. I try and scream again and again, try to shout anything, but it's no use. He's at the foot of my bed now, and I'm backed up against the wall, nowhere to go...
"SOMEBODY!!!!"
My eyes jerked open as I screamed. I was lying in bed, it was almost 7am. I heard Penny in the bathroom, and quite quickly he came out and rushed to my bed and asked me what was wrong. I told him that I was being attacked in my dream and couldn't scream, something that happens often. This time, however, I managed to shout. Really managed to shout.
So now I'm feeling better. I was kind of shaken up right after the dream, plus my sheets were all sweaty (yay, right after putting on clean sheets). I think I'll get a drink and then go back to bed.
