Dream
I had started a new job at this old theatre that was also a restaurant and hotel. It was my very first night on the job, so I was learning everything. I also just had twins, and since we were homeless I had brought the twins to work with me. During my shift, I put the babies in their bassinet stroller together and left them in a room upstairs. Once my shift was finally complete, it was very late at night. Most of the lights were out in the building. I was looking around everywhere for my babies. I couldn’t find them so I started to panic. I remember going through a doorway and there being two ominous, dark, cloaked figures standing on either side of the doorway. Normally I would be too scared to even go near them, but I was searching for my babies and rushed right past them. I located one baby, but not the other. At that point I somehow had more work to do before I was done with my shift, so I put the baby back down and finished what work I had to do. After that, I resumed my search for the second baby. I finally found him in a room that had a waterfall indoors. My baby was resting on the rocks with the water pouring over his face. Frantically, I scrambled to get the baby to the safety of my arms, but he wasn’t breathing. I screamed for someone to do CPR, but nobody had a sense of urgency. I blew air into the baby’s mouth, and a bunch of water came out, but he still wasn’t breathing. I yelled for someone to call an ambulance. Then one of my coworkers started doing CPR. The baby was okay. At that point I asked the coworker to watch him while I went to collect the other baby. I went back through the doorway with the two ominous black hooded cloaked figures. I couldn’t find the first baby now! I was a nervous wreck thinking that my babies would be taken away from me for neglect. I found the baby. Then I was searching for a set of keys. I found many sets of keys, but none of them were the ones I was looking for. I had to call my mother and ask her for a ride home from work even though I hadn’t spoken to her in a really long time. She didn’t even know I had twins. When she arrived, I was still searching for my babies and my belongings so that we could leave. She got irritated and yelled at me for taking too long.
