A series of episodes

Type: dream imagery (non-lucid)

So much to say... and at the end of the dream I had last night, I thought I had awakened, and was struggling to remember everything that happened and write it down, only to find out afterwards that I had been asleep then, and lost most of it regardless.

This dream took the form of a series of episodes. It seems that these episodes were part of a variety show, though while each one played I was a part of them and there was no huge studio or audience or stage. Also, the majority of these scenes frightened me or put me in danger.

They'll be all out of chronological order; I can't remember what came first.

The country club -- a snobby young man complains to me that the room and closet he has been given in his lodgings is a slave quarters and not worthy of his high and mightiness. I spent a while trying to convince him that it wasn't a big deal, but he seemed quite offended at the idea. At some point... something terrible happened. I don't remember what, but I remember that we left and were running to the golf course. I was secretly glad he was forced to put his stuff up. I was irritated by his attitude.

The serial killer -- most disturbing. I believe I was watching this on a monitor in a dark classroom. A man brings another man, who looks young and nerdy and somewhat like a teacher, to a classroom (odd to be staring at a TV and seem like I was staring into another classroom) and puts a video camera on a tripod and turns it on. The teacher is crying. The man, a somewhat attractive fellow, is forcing him to talk. The teacher seems to know he's in danger but does not realize just how much. After many minutes of emotional torture the camera pans around and, to my horror, I see a square of carpet pinned to the wall behind the teacher and understand what is to happen. Within a split second of my realization, I see blood splatter, and the teacher, tears running down his face, crumples to the ground. Oddly I recall being confused at never seeing a gun pulled. My class, uncomfortable, turns off the tape.

The walk -- a boy walks with a scraggly dog down my street in the middle of the night. The dog speaks to him, the dog is the lost soul of his former protector. The boy is too young to really understand. They walk for hours. At long last the dog and boy are separated by a car. The dog's voice says "John... a... than. I'm sorry I didn't listen to you." But Johnathan is the dog. The dog disappears and looking across the street (I am not here, but I see) I see the trees part and a cow glows as if illuminated by the headlights of a car, but as the car passes the cow continues to glow dimly until it is no longer illuminated. Glowing cow. Hm. Next.

Obligatory ex cameo -- I don't know what was happening. Him, someone else, a bed, he was controlling me, the other person was controlling me, there may have been someone else. I was uncomfortable and wanted to leave.

A lot more. I can't remember. I'm sorry, I tried.
