It is currently the middle of the night. 3:05 am to be exact. The last time I saw this time of the night was NEVER. I am such a baby in my sleep patterns; I usually fall asleep around 9:30 or 10 and wake up naturally between 6 and 7. It's nice. "But Katy," you may ask "what on earth could be causing you to be awake at such an unholy hour? And could you teach me how to do your eyeliner? It looks awesome!"
Firstly, I'll be glad to tell you how I do my eyeliner, thanks for noticing! And secondly, let me tell you about the kind of day I had on Tuesday and my ensuing horrific nightmare.
Tuesday was LONG. I spent almost 13 hours on campus. I had two presentations that did not go as well as I'd hoped, due to the unwillingness to participate that some of my group members had. I took a 45 minute break from campus when my lovely brother took me out to dinner at Buffalo Wild Wings. We loaded up on shitty food and I went back up to campus. When I got up to campus, I received the news that a girl I had known from Snow had died in a pretty bad car accident. I got all sorts of emotional just remembering how sweet she had been to me when we stayed with her and all the good things about her I had heard from my friend, Celeste. After that we had a meeting with some secondary ed advisers that just made me super anxious about the impending future and my career. I don't feel old enough to have a career. Bleh.
Okay. That was my day. Now here's a tiny bit of background information you'll need to understand this dream. Dani has a friend, Alexis. Alexis is the sweetest person you'll ever meet and I got the chance to become friends with her at Dani's bachelorette party and wedding. Her family is from Nevada so I've never met any of them, I just know that Alexis is this cute, tiny thing that would never hurt a fly. All right. Dream time.
SO. I dreamed that I was in Salt Lake for the weekend spending time with Dani and Jaxson when I received a text from my mom. The text read, "do you know a Mr. Gonzales?" I said I only knew of him and that he was Alexis' dad, and didn't receive a text back for several hours. I thought nothing of it and went about my day cavorting with Dani and Jaxson.
Several hours later I received a picture message from my mom. I opened it and saw a picture of my kitchen with knives stuck into every surface, blood seeping everywhere, and gauges littering the cabinets and countertops. The text read, "your friend's dad showed up at the house and did this to the kitchen to avenge the death of his daughter." I started hyperventilating and screaming and immediately called my mom. She then informed me that Mr. Gonzales had murdered my sister, my best friend, Liz.
I've never experienced such a feeling of dread and that cliched feeling of "my world collapsing around me," but that's what dream Katy felt. Vividly. Liz is my number 1 reason for living, so the news of her death made me unravel. I went into this stupor and drove home without knowing how I got there. I arrived home and my mom met me, but she wasn't sad at all. She just spoke very matter of factly about what had happened. Soon, the truth came out that MY MOTHER had murdered Alexis (I know she had a reason but I cannot for the life of me remember what it was.) To avenge Alexis' death, Mr. Gonzales had come to try to murder me, but upon discovering that I was in Salt Lake, took my sister instead.
And then I woke up. Now I have to pee really bad but I'm terrified to get out of bed, and every time I hear a car go by outside I quake in fear.
Ready, interpret!
Sidebar: My mom could never and would never murder anyone. She's too nice. And she doesn't have that kind of brute force.
