Dream Journal

dreamed on September 27, 2003

Jayme and I were on the top floor of a castle. There was a fire and she asked me what to do - I told her to pull the fire alarm. We stood over an escape hole that has ladders in it in order to quickly get from one floor to another. A wire at the top of each floor is the fire alarm. I told her to pull every one that isn’t already activated on her way down.

I started down the ladders first, she next, and groups of people after us. She is going faster than I am and has to keep waiting for me so she doesn’t land on my head.

As we ran through the floors, Jayme pushed a shopping cart and threw extremely expensive items into it. I hold on to a few of my personal items, but she tells me to grab whatever I want - at the last minute I don’t have to take all of it if it will not all fit. I can decide later.

We reached the bottom floor and came upon a large pile of shoes. I looked in the closet at all the boxes stored there and don’t see what I am looking for. I ran around the corner and down the stairs, but still don’t see what I need. But I need to get out of the building.

Back upstairs, I see a pair of shoes sitting on the top landing. They make me sad because they are Melissa’s shoes, and I know that no one will take them because she is dead. I looked back in the closet, certain that the item I need has to be in there. But still it isn’t. I grabbed one of my calf-length leather boots and lace it up. I cannot find my other one - I asked Rodney if he has seen it, and he pointed into another room.

Melissa is in that room, and I asked her where my other boot is. She handed it to me and I pull it on.
