From the pages of my dream journal:

First Dream:

I was at a very large youth retreat that was taking place over the summer and everyone was staying at an immense beach house/mansion. I was standing outside with my boyfriend and all of a sudden the doors burst in with a bunch of men carrying guns and wearing ski masks. Everyone started screaming and trying to run, but we were surrounded as they came in from all sides. My boyfriend and I stayed in one place holding onto each other. Several people around us were shot and fell to the ground, dead.

Suddenly one of the men grabbed my boyfriend and pulled him from me, and another man grabbed me. I started kicking and screaming (well, sorta, you know how in dreams you try to scream and nothing comes out?). The man that took my boyfriend pulled him through the door with him, and then and then the man that held me let me go. Several other people were abducted in this manner, while others were left behind.

A rescue group was sent out to find them...

So three months later (how I knew that, I don't know, but I did), I was running to one of the large conference rooms because someone had told me they had found the survivors of the attack and taken them there. So I burst into the room and it looked like a hospital with beds and stuff set up all around. But my boyfriend sat on the furthest side with his back to me and I ran to him and embraced him, but he pulled back from me. His face was haggard and he just looked so lost and I can't imagine what they could have done to him to make him look like this...

So I asked him what had happened and he asked if we could go to my room and talk. Well, if you've ever been on a youth retreat you know that boys aren't allowed in the girls bedrooms, but we decided we needed some time alone so we would sneak into my room... Unfortunately the guards that had been posted after the attack blocked our way wherever we turned.

Then one girl ran up to me and said, "Angela, I just want you to know that Robby is guarding your room because he knows you will try to go there and he's telling the guards to keep an eye on you."

Well this made me furious that Robby would betray me in that way so my boyfriend and I went to find him. Like the girl had said, he was standing outside my door and I demanded to know why he was doing this to me. He looked at my boyfriend with disgust and said "I'm trying to save your virtue."

Well this set my boyfriend off and he lunged and Robby and they fought for a bit before Robby pitched him over the side of the balcony we stood on. Unfortunately, they still had ahold of one another and Robby went over too. I looked down below and watched as my boyfriend staggered to his feet, one leg obviously broken from the fall...and Robby lay completely still.

The scene shifted and my boyfriend and I were in a small chapel (obviously eloping because I didn't know anyone there). Suddenly the doors burst in and my parents rushed in and my Dad said "Kill him!" and in come the men with the ski masks again... They pulled my boyfriend from me and one of them stabbed him with a really crazy looking sword right in front of me as another ski-mask-guy held me back.

Second Dream:

I was at a very fancy restaurant with Nick, Anna, Jared, and a few other people from school. There was a large dance floor, but nobody was dancing on it, so Nick stood up and offered his hand to me and said, "May I have this dance, mi'lady?" So I smiled and took his hand and he led me to the dance floor and we begin to do this awesome waltz-like thing. Very soon other couples began to fill the dance floor.

Then suddenly Nick & I stopped dancing as Dina walked up and tapped him on the shoulder and asked if she could cut in. But Nick just glared at her and then turned around and left...

Suddenly I was the only one in the restaurant and someone tapped my shoulder and I turned around to see your typical 'tall, dark, and mysterious' guy. I felt immediately uneasy with him there, but when he offered his hand silently I took it and he led me in a dance. However, instead of smiling and looking up at him like I had done when I dance with Nick, I kept my distance as best I could and continued to avert my eyes from him.

Scene shifted and I was in this big, gloomy mansion. I walked into one of the rooms and Gray was standing there and he looked at me and said, "I can't believe you married him! What were you thinking?!"

I didn't respond and just continued to walk to my husband (the man I had danced with)'s bedroom. He stood there when I entered looking out a window and I asked if he had wanted to see me.

He turned around and his face was contorted with rage and I stepped back. He asked me if I really loved him and, unable to lie for some reason, I whispered "no..."

Suddenly he changed into this huge monster (much like an orc on Lord of the Rings) and I screamed when he lunged at me...

Scene shifted and we were in a dungeon and there were four little girls and Nick standing back against a wall. My husband (still in the orc-body) demanded that I tell him that I loved him or he would kill everyone... But I couldn't do it.

So he turned around and took this thick-long needle and stabbed the first girl and she died. Again he demanded I say it and I said "No.." and he stabbed the next girl... and so forth and so on.

Finally he got to Nick and again demanded that I tell him I loved him and by now I was breaking down crying and I said "If you really loved me, you wouldn't kill him!"

The monster looked at me with wide-eyes...and then melted away into human-form once again. He lowered the needle from Nick and began to sing "All I Ask Of You" to me, but I kept looking away... So he turned about and left the dungeon.

I followed him into his bedchambers and watched him as he walked almost in a zombie-state to his bed. Then suddenly he cried out and clutched his chest like his heart had just burst, and fell across his bed...dead.

I stared in horror for a few moments at his still form, and then allowed Nick to lead me away from the scene and out of the mansion.

And then I woke up...
