nightmare I actually sort of remember past getting up and going to the bathroom and such...

Long dream. At least the first part I had, then matt woke up at 6am, went to the bathroom or went downstairs and came back up. I was thinking of complaining about the light downstairs being on because it would attract attention. I woke up 2 hours later because the dream was really starting to bother me.


Starts out in this old house. (low ceiling, thick walls and hard floors.) feels like it should be real, but then again it felt like there was no one else in the world .. no one there I know from my life here, but I know them in the dream, friends and such. I think it's sort of a huge sprawling tavern that's owned by this strange woman scientist who has a thing for very large crystals.

There's a cemetary down the hill. small one. about 5 headstones. Further down the hill there's the ocean and off to either side of the tavern/house is sparse forest with VERY tall trees.

It's always nighttime in this dream till the end. One of those night times where you can't really ever hear anything, but you sort of see stuff (trick of the eye or not?)

Stuff goes on in the tavern, don't recall what.. Though me and a group of three others go and look at the crystals.. Three stuck in the wall.. foot long, 1/4th foot in diameter (quartzes) then there's a very large crystal ball.. maybe 10ft diameter that she uses as a telescope (some how..) and likes viewing the far off stars and such.

Me and the few people are suddenly in the middle of the tavern, watching people drink and eat their meat and what ever.. locals, travelers.. everyone wearing normal day clothing.

Then we're suddenly down the road, setting up camp to spend the night. Only I look up and there's about 50 figures sitting high up in the trees.. and you can tell they were watching us and they weren't happy. So I tell the others and we decide to go back to the tavern. (only house in the area..)

-(That's where I woke up first time.. went back to sleep)

Back at the tavern, though down by the graves, looking at the water while the scientist lady and the other people are studying the headstones as if they were never there before. I think they were discussing where to put the next one.

We walk back up the hill, which thankfully seems shorter then it really is. Go up to our rooms to see a friend of mine that I had made there sitting on their bed, but tinged a strange light blue color. I poke at them, but they don't move, as if they're frozen stiff. (but not cold.).. I show the scientist lady and she gets a very weird look on her face and leaves saying this happens from time to time.

Don't think it's much, so I go downstairs to where the fire is and other people, and suddenly there's a loud crash and a LOT of screaming people. Rush over to see where it's coming from.. See people blocking the front door and windows with furniture and such, the sciencelady running off to go lock up her crystal room. I follow her. She's really panicing. Lock everything up and we go help block the doors. No one wants to tell me why they're blocking the doors.. but there's a lot of screaming from upstairs and everyone lets go of th doors and freezes solid, not wanting to breathe or move.

I don't want to be upstairs. so of course, that's exactly the next place I am, watching as those figures I saw in the trees earlier grabbing the blue tinted girl after sniffing her out and running off. They look sort of like human/apes.

I am back downstairs and see that some other people are now blue and there's banging on the door and windows again as if those apehumans are trying to get in. Some of the people at the door give up and open up the door and the apes rush in, grabbing the blue tinted people and leaving after pretending to grab normal colored people.

Somehow, now, I suppose cause it's a dream. I know that the apes are repaying the humans by mixing with some of them out in the country and becoming more intelligent to figure out that the people in this area kill lots of apes with guns, and one of their high religious people is worth 10,000 lives.

Later, the house is attacked again, this time the science lady and her crystals are all stolen away. No one knows why people turn blue, they think it's in the food or some kind of voodoo. Me and my three friends sit out on the graves, eating, keeping an eye on the landscape and for any more apehumans

Change of location and suddenly down the road from the tavern is a huge college with lots of hills and such. I'm back stage, watching a play that's going on. It's still night out, maybe the same night. More play happens, dancing going on, kind of like Chicago'ish with the dancing and singing style and outfits. Everyone thinks they're safe because there's no forests around here and the apehumans don't know they're in the building.

Time passes and such, and there's suddenly lots of rattling and hissing coming from the hallway behind the backstage and also from the hallway that leads to the sitting area in the theatre. Lots of people panic and rush off to go and keep the doors shut and windows and what not, and me and my three friends (they were in the play) run off and climb UP instead of following everyone, thinking to keep away from the crowds and quiet and we won't be found. We're running up a staircase while some people are running down to go help with the doors, but we manage to get into a classroom on the third floor and hide under the desks.

It switches to a scene where the apes find a few open windows and crawl in, then down the stairs and start grabbing every kind of person, not just blue ones. Lots and lots of college kids are grabbed while us four watch (somehow.. since we're two stories away.)

Another crash from over head, and the sound of guns, so we leave our desks and go look out the door window, seeing that the military's arrived and are just shooting to scare the apes away, not wanting to hit them or they'd start to attack other cities and towns.

Change of scene and me and my friends and anyone's that left are walking around on the hills that are on the campus, following a path back to the parking lot and we suddenly realize it's day time.
