Once upon a Dream...

So, I had a really odd dream last night. I'm prone to nightmares, so it wasn't that bad. It was odd, though.




Here it goes...

    This all started with us picking up my mom's friend, her friend's husband and her friend's kids. Don't ask me how many there were, the ship was already crowded with everything from itty-bitties to young adults.

     So, where are we headed in our wonderful space craft? A wedding. Who's getting hitched? I have no idea anymore. One set of cousins from Ammamay's side travel with us, some of my mom's friends, too, a couple of the older guys'(my cousins, my brother/his buddies, those ones) girlfriends and my boyfriend(there may have been more that one boyfriend showing up, but only one of them was mine) had been given individual transport. This fact was both an annoyance and a relief. I doubt we would have even had room for my "+1" to travel with us.

     Several tedious, loud and mildy confusing("That should've been a left!" "Are you kidding me? Please. Tell me that that's a joke" "I told you left." "I didn't hear you." etc. etc.) days later, we reached the planet we were searching for. Right in time for New Year's.

     The celebrations were HUGE. There were parades and fireworks and people everywhere. The place we were staying that night was holding a room for the wedding party to sort of "wind down" amid the chaos of the recent arrival and the celebration. The place had a pool with was warm, but not hot, and everything was wonderful. There was food that would make your mouth water, or your eyes water, everything from courses, to desserts, to snacks, set up semi-buffet style all around the, I'll call it a hotel. The drinks were superb. I consumed at least two platefuls of food, there was this dish where you can just take small fowl-like birds from a rotisserie, different ones had different seasonings; zesty or sweet, anything really.

     Another nice thing about getting there was that I finally got to see Hyperspace. We walked around and talked for a while.

     After the celebrations ended, we moved closer to where the wedding was going to be. There an unfortunate occurrence where I tried to get fancy clothes from a holographic simulator. See, I didn't have any fancy clothes for the wedding, so I tried to wear a fancy dress out of the simulation, but when I got to the end of the river, I was wearing a t-shirt and jeans.

     On the morning of the wedding a group of us took a hike. When we got back, everyone was setting up. Because I was supposed to be in it for some reason, I needed to get changed. Ammamay, her friend and I headed back to the ship. This is where things get weird.

      I'm in my quarters in jeans and a tank-top one arm in the sleeve of my shirt when we hear a loud noise come from down the hall. Ammamay and her friend decide to check out what the noise was and suddenly I heard sobbing. Ammamay called me over to them. When I showed up I saw a man in a grey jumpsuit lying on the floor. Part of his face was full of green veins. It was my mother's friend's husband and he told us not to go through the door.

      Immediately, his wife ran into the next hall. And screamed.  Ammamay and I looked through the door, but didn't go in. The ceiling was covered in woven vines and an outline of her friend was there, like she was on the other side, pressed against the ceiling, and she wasn't moving. I don't know what was happening to her, if she would end up like her husband, but we also don't know what was going to happen to him.  We need to tell the authorities, we need to get help. We run. "Ag!" I hear Ammamy yell. "AG!" I sit up. "Ag, would you like chocolate chips in your pancake?" I'm awake in my bed, there is no alien plant life trying to kill me. Suddenly life is much better.
