Dream
I was outside and it was about me and 200 people. It was night and there was this big open field of grass with trees around the perimeter. They said a tornado started and since I was meteorology major it was my job to forecast everything and protect the people. There was no tornado but it was thunderstorming with a lot of heavy rain. The wind picked up a lot and all off our tents that we were under started to topple over. I tried to grab one side and hold it down and some people helped me but then it just flew away, and I kept trying again but it kept failing so I switched plans and I told everyone to get under cover under the trees at the perimeter of the big open field. I was yelling a lot because there was lightning in area and people could get hurt. I was trying to keep everyone underneath a tree which had long branches and acted as a new tent and I hoped the tree wouldn’t get struck by lightning. If the tree was struck by lightning we would all die but it was a risk worth taking. Some guys had ran back into the field to pick up objects they left like peoples phones which was stupid and while I new the phones were important I was screaming at them to get back. They were all people that I had known through different stages of my life. Then I saw little light balls traveling up to the sky and I new that those were negative and positive charges trying to reach each other for lightning to form and strike. I knew that wasn’t how lightning worked in reality but I didn’t care. I didn’t have a sense I was dreaming but I new what I was experiencing wasn’t real. There was lightning everywhere and the light balls path finding towards the sky. It was actually really beautiful to watch these light balls go up into the sky in zigzags but they indicated impeding doom. I was yelling at people to stay on their toes and to make themselves small so that they had less of a chance at being struck that way and that’s what I had learned. Unfortunately a guy I knew who was running through the field got struck with lightning and he kinda exploded. There was a lot of blood and he ended on the ground. Some people screamed, but since I was in charge I had to do something about it. I got a stretcher and another guy who was strong and not afraid and we ran into the field after the guy despite the possibility of getting struck. I was scared but I knew I had to get the guy into cover. We got him, put him on the stetcher, and hobbled back under the big tree that was the main headquarters. For some reason people under the other trees tried to get to our tree cause that was where the “headquarters” was but I was screaming at them to stop because it was dangerous being in the open. The whole dream was really loud and people were then getting struck and it was windy and rainy. Another guy got struck and it looked like a bomb had gone off. Blood exploded into the air with smoke and then he got struck again and the blood in the distance was very vivid. Some people looked at me like I had failed the guy and I gulped because I knew despite being in charge I really had no blame for others bad choices but the situation was really bad I only wanted no problems to happen. I was really emotionless to this despite the internal emotions, and I said to some people that “that was rough” about the guy. I felt like some people looked at me with distain because I wasn’t emotionally present or empathetic. Eventually the storm disappeared, and everyone came out from their coverings on all sides. It was still grey outside but everyone had these papers pinned to their shirts that were colored. It showed that they were in teams and that they were actors. Apparently everyone who got struck by lightning was just a simulation and nothing bad had actually happened. That’s when I laughed and then started sobbing really hard and one of my male buddies opened up their arms for me to hug because they looked really awkward about me crying and didn’t know what to do. I hugged them really tightly which is very unusually especially since I’m a girl and they are a guy. When I stopped I saw another one of my male buddies and I knew he was thinking that I could hug him as well to feel better but I was ok so I ignored him kinda, just brushed off my previous emotions. This is when I woke up from the dream, but then I checked the time and since I had another hour and a half of sleep I immediately fell back asleep and the dream continued where it left off. I was playing a bored game with my sister, then we went back into our dorms and my mom and grandma came to visit. My sister disappeared from the dream. I was talking with my mom about the whole situation, and she said I should marry my buddy who hugged me. I was a little annoyed because I didn’t like him that way and since he is in my squadron I’m not allowed to date any of my buddies. He really appreciated hearing that though because he had some insecurity issues. I glanced at another one of my male buddies that I am good friends with and he looked a little annoyed at the conversation so I left to avoid drama. My grandma asked me if I had talked to my sister and I told her I recently played a board game with her, which I haven’t actually talked to my sister in a month. I went outside of my dorm onto a small porch and it was nighttime and calm outside. I gave my mom a really long and good hug to stress relieve.
