Nightmare

Had a horrible dream last night -- not sure what brought it on.

I dreamed I was in a long, narrow house that I've never been in before. I had a shared bedroom with someone I have not seen in years. (I was friends with her older sister) I was making the bed when I realized that there was broken bits of chalk and other items under my pillow, and under hers as well. I panicked and thought that she was doing some kind of demonic ritual. (There were underlying hints of danger and evil throughout the dream) I rushed to my family but they paid me no mind (as per my usual dreams with them) but Stu was very concerned and told me it was a particularly strong brand of dark magic. I swept the chalk and bits of stuff off the bed and put my pillow like it had been, hoping whatever spell was cast would not work now. There was an old church at the end of the house so I sat in one of the back pews, hoping the girl wouldn't notice what I'd done.

I went back to my room later and again cleared things out from under my pillow, and then hid to watch what she would do. She stuck two shiny, sharp sewing pins into my pillow and was attempting to do voodoo, but since I'd cleared the chalk out, the spell wasn't working.

I woke up and stayed up for hours with aching legs (which I assume I have because I walked to the lake and back yesterday with no arch support in my boots) and I haven't been able to shake off the uneasiness quite yet.

...I hate these dreams.
