Dreaming; Night of
October 20, 1984
       5:53              I went to a circus and saw this woman who worked there (I was older). We fell in love with each other. The whole dream was very clear. On one level it seemed like I was seeing a remake of my favorite movie of all time; while on another, it seemed like I was living it. Things happened. An evil cyborg head and torso was involved. Mystic things like backward-writing, the day before Christmas, and others were involved. Finally, after much stuff, I figured out that the thing was going to try to kill her. I gathered up a small army of volunteers, who were really people who had come to see the circus (which wasn't really a circus—that is just the best way of describing it) and led an attack on the "backstage" area where she and the evil thing were. It was too late; she had been taken to the place of the night's performance, the place where she was to be killed. Most of the army contented themselves with beating up a few minions, but I rushed outside and ran for the site. I failed to get a ride, so I got on the roofs of the buildings and jumped from rooftop to rooftop. I finally got there, fought my way through, and burst my way in to rescue her. Else and more before.

       9:16              I was living in some strange sort of community. It was a large group of high school students and teachers who lived together in a large hotel-like structure. During the day, the teachers taught the students their lessons, after which they had free time. I fell in love with a girl there. I was a student there, too. Things were just about to get interesting. I was in an English class taught by someone suspiciously like Mrs. D. It was being taught outside in a parking lot very similar to that of University Cinema. I was standing in front of a large truck that was parked there, listening to the teacher. I saw a man walk behind me and heard him get into the truck, so I moved a few steps away from it to get away from the noise of its starting up. It was not enough, however, and when it started, I was bombarded by a strange wind which filled my clothes and lifted me fifteen feet into the air. When I came down, everyone was looking at me strangely, but I discovered that I could fly and was very strong. I practiced flying around, and it was great! Not perfect control, but by far the best I've ever attained in a dream. Then there was a flashforward of what seemed like about 3 months to a year or so. I was a superman-type character, and everyone knew me. I was walking (and flying) around the hotel-like structure, searching frantically for the girl mentioned above. I hadn't seen her, for some reason, since I got my powers. A bunch of young girls saw me outside and started screaming and sighing and clustered around me. Then a police chief came over and said he needed help, that there was a man (one of the teachers, I think) with a gun in the courtyard. I went in, jumped him, wrestled the gun away, and then yelled at him when it went off for endangering the Chief. Else. (C)
