Strange Dream

I was on a sinking ship that was military. When it went underwater I was stuck with some other people in a spot with an air bubble . We decided to kick out a window or swim to a higher spot on the ship to escape. When we swam toward the shore we had to cross barbed wire in the water that would only allow us to move through if a wave carried us.

On the shore was a university that I began to attend. It was very old and steeped in tradition. My family was there to see me and to see where I stayed. My dorm was like a classical library, with paintings and books covering the walls.

I saw C. sitting at a table outside with some friends and I asked her if she wanted to walk with me around the campus. She didn't seem happy to see me and just kind of shrugged me off.

I returned to the shore, where wooden bleachers with an awning were set up, and sat down to watch hockey on TV. When the game went to a shootout I left and walked back to the dorm.

On the way I saw that some celebration was going on and people were walking together on the campus sidewalks. There was a familiar guy that met me and we started talking. He was an old friend. He said that he was glad I was back but, sorry, he was with C. now. I didn't know what he was talking about. He said that he had always been with her.

C. came up to us, and she and the guy who I had been talking with hugged. I walked away. I felt like everything had changed and I had to begin a new life with new friends all over again.

My family was in the celebration and was glad to see me.

I woke up depressed and wanting to go home. I missed everyone and was scared of what life might be like when I get out.
