It began in a parking lot. Justin, my mother, and I were walking toward a building. My friend Mike was supposed to be there, maybe graduating, but I'm not sure. He didn't expect us, but we ran into him in the parking lot. He walked with us toward the building, which was something like a walmart.

Inside, my mum and Justin disappeared or got separated. I think they just disappeared. Mike and I walked around and looked at stuff. I told him all about how I was planning on moving into an apartment, and we were looking for silverware for when I moved. We didn't see anything super great. There was one set with cherry wood handles and such, but it seemed not too sturdy.

We went next door, to an antique store. They had a silverware set, each piece cost $0.30. It was plain metal, and looked like it would bend easily, so I decided to hold off on the silverware. On our way out, I slipped and fell by a stool that had a little ceramic piece on it. It was about a two inch, sorta square, blue and white, container with a little square lid. I almost knocked it off. Mike told me to be careful, which irritated me.

We then walked over to another building. Mike told me, on the way, that he wasn't sure if Catholicism was right for him (he's not Catholic) and that he wanted to be Lutheran. The building was a Lutheran school, sort of. It was tall and looked really old. Inside, there were really creaky, dusty, hardwood floors.

He walked me around the building for a while, and we met up with some of his friends and this pipsqueak girl who seemed to hate me, until she realized I wasn't after Mike. It turns out that she was his girlfriend, and I explained I was just an old friend from back home. It made me think, wow, does Mike's current girlfriend really determine his religion? (IRL, it doesn't. )

So, we came to a split. Mike went one way and his girlfriend went the other, and for some reason I followed her. We walked down about four or five flights of stairs. Somewhere along the way, I lost her as she went to a class and I kept going. At the bottom, I was on the ground floor again, but the stairs ended in a small room with another half set of stairs going up to the lobby we first entered.

So I go in the lobby and have no idea what to do, since Mike ran off and my mom and Justin aren't around. I sit down on a step, when a group of people walking in. They were people I've known since Kindergarten, because they were in my LEAP program, though I never particularly cared for them. It was Kristen, Cody, Zane, and Craig. (Last names not revealed to protect people who I never particularly cared for). Craig was the one who noticed me.

"Hey, look who's here." he said.

Kristen was like, "What?"

"It's Meagan, from high school. What are you doing here in Colorado?" Craig said (I wasn't aware that we were in Colorado, but okay, I'll roll with it.)

So, they invited me to join them in this little conference room, with an old table and folding chairs. I was ready to agree, since I had nowhere better to go, but Mike found me and asked where I had been. I said trying to find him, and waved by to the old LEAPers.

This is where it became strange and a little confused. Mike started talking about wanting to be indoctrinated into the Lutheran church. I wasn't sure what this involved, but some stuff happened that I don't remember and I was alone again. But this time it was more sinister. I knew something horrible was happening to Mike and his girlfriend and a few other people who were about to be indoctrinated, and I had to find them and stop it.

I ran outside and around the building, then into the woods, sort of, where I found them tied up and the devil nearby. I think the girlfriend and maybe Mike too, had already been indoctrinated. But the devil was, at this particular moment, a slightly overweight, though slightly shapely woman (reminding me of Ursula from the Little Mermaid)

The dream got slightly sexual right here, which we're going to skip. It was more like assault, and evil. So, I think I made a bargain with the devil. I had to complete a certain number of tasks in a certain amount of time. My first task involved hooking up the TV with the vacuum in some jerry-rigged fashion. However, once that was done, I couldn't find the devil to get my second task. I kept trying to get the devil on my cellphone, but no answer. All I could think about was how this was wasting my time and I'd never get all the tasks done.

Finally found the devil again. He had shape shifted and was a guy with bull horns now (not devil horns). He was surprised I had gotten the task done so quickly and I got the next three tasks from him, just in case I couldn't get ahold of him in time again.

Then I woke up.
