Doctor Who

I had a dream about Doctor Who last night (the Doctor Who played by David Tennant.

There was a horrible disaster that only we could fix, but it was far away. We had to go on a trek to get there. However, where we were, it was night time, and we were on top of a ski slope, and it was dark. It was a perfectly clear night, and a full moon, so you could see everything. On top of the mountain/ski slope thing, that we were on, instead of just ending, it opened up into this huge plain that stretched on and on. I know that isn’t geologically possible, but that’s how it was. We had these huge packs, and we had to walk across this huge plain, and take a lot of stuff with us. And we had to do it now. The feeling was also that the moon and nighttime would last forever.
For some reason, I ended up carrying most of the stuff. I had this huge bike thing that I had had to put all of the stuff on. And the Doctor was being really picky, and while I was packing, he kept telling me on no circumstances could I forget anything, and then he would just keep looking around with his hands in his pockets. He was just carrying a silver necklace, by the way. On top of all of the stuff that I had already piled onto my bike, was a huge silver exercise ball. Just as we were getting ready to leave, the exercise ball slid off of the back, and went rolling down the mountain. Remember this is ski resort, so there was an open patch where people could ski, surrounded by trees. This thing took off straight for the trees.

The Doctor just looked at me, and said “Go get it. Quickly!” I didn’t have any skiis though, and it was going really quickly, so I started running down hill really quickly. But then the snow started moving really quickly, kind of like a river. It was taking me down really quickly.

The bal was moving quicker though, and it was hard to catch up with it. I kept thinking, how on earth am I going to get back up to the top? When I finally caught up with the ball, I saw how. All of a sudden, I had skiis on my feet, and I had to use them to get back up. I was trying to hard to walk up hill on my skiis, but it wasn’t going well. Then there was a tiny little blonde girl that came zooming down the hill (which was now lit up by unseen lights). She came flying down the hill, and then when she saw me, she defied the laws of gravity, and started skiing in circles around me. It was weird.

When I got up to the top of the mountain, the Doctor was gone, and the light was starting to come back. It was dawn.

After that I somehow got transported to a school, and I ended up wandering around with this huge exercise ball, looking for the Doctor. It was a really fancy school.

And that’s all I remember. Where on earth did that come from? I haven’t watched Doctor Who in ages, and definitely not David Tennant in even longer.

How Badly Do You Want to Live?

It seems that my nightmares have returned. Here is a particularly interesting one.

The one thing that I remember most vividly about my dream is the blackness. It was dark, so dark. No amount of light could ever have lit my surroundings, could ever have freed me from the bonds that night kept me in.

As far as I could tell, I was traveling with my family. But it was a special kind of travel. We were all dressed in clothes that would have made people in the 19th century proud. But we were not in the 19th century. We were in the future. We were either in a boat that was going through space (it was kind of a mix between space and the sea in the blackest part of the night), or we were in a spaceship. But then all of sudden, things got bad. Everyone on our boat disappeared, and we were the only ones left, and we were running for our lives. We jumped into a boat thing, and started going as fast as we could, in any direction that would get us away from the death trap, as were calling it.

Finally, we found an abandoned ship/spaceship. it was more like a freighter thing though. When we got there, we divided up the sections of the boat, and each of us had to defend a section of it. All that we knew about the people who wanted to kill us was there was a lot of them, and that they wanted to kill us and eat us, and not necessarily in that order. Our only hope of surviving was to make sure that they didn't get on to our spaceship/boat thing.

My mom had the attic thing to defend, and she did the best job of it. I really couldn't defend my section, so I did the best I could, and then ran to help my mom. For some reason, my dad never came to join us. He didn't get eaten or anything, he kind of just disappeared.

I don't know what happened after that. It's like my dream just skipped a period of time. The next thing I knew, I was back on earth, in normal time, in normal clothes, with my friends. The only weird thing was my feet. I remember thinking that they hurt, and I looked down, and my feet were so cracked and cut that they were bleeding all over the place, and I couldn't get it to stop, and I didn't know why they were like that. I couldn't walk, and just as I was starting to panic, and be thrown back onto that freighter, I woke up.

And that is it. Not nearly as detailed as they normally are, but still just as intense. Even now, almost 18 hours after I woke up, I am still freaked out from how terrified I was during that dream.
