Michael Phelps, Murdered Woman, and Chinese Food

Me, Lony, Jenna, and Carrie are all 18 and we’re going to each have a huge party at different times. For that, we each hired an advertiser to advertise our parties. I am the first one to plan out my party and advertise it and almost everyone I invited RSVPed with a ‘YES’. But Lony, Sweta, and Ishanee hadn’t planned their parties yet. They were freaking out because time was flying.
One day, I am going to the meeting room that we have set up so everyone can see each other’s advertisements and say if they have any objections or ways to correct them. I’m a little late, and so is Lony’s advertiser. So, I walk in with him to see that they have all planned their parties and they all have made invitation cards and are not going to use their advertisers. Lony’s advertiser, however had already come up with an advertisement.
“Sorry, but I’m going to use these invitation cards.” Lony says, “You’re fired.” I see her cards, they are little pretty flowers, then I see Ishanee’s cards they are cute little elephants. Before I can see Sweta’s I see that Lony’s advertiser (ex-advertiser) is starting to set up the advertisement that he made for Lony’s party. I go to him and I stop him.
“Stop, Stop! She fired you, putting the ad up won’t do anything. See, she already has all her invitations.” I say in a soft voice. He looks like he’s about to cry. I pull him into the foyer of the meeting place try to calm him down. But he’s in denial that Lony fired him.
I get him to leave and walk back into the room where Lony and Sweta are talking and Ishanee went to the bathroom. Lony says,
“Did you get rid of the ad dude?”
“Yeah” I say
“Good.” She says. And then we start talking about something else and laughing and all that.
That weekend, I go to a restaurant and wait for my friend to come… and wait… and wait… and wait. Finally, around 11:30 PM, I get up and go look for him. If he lives in this town, he can’t be too far right? Right. I see him going into a Kroger across the street. I get really happy and follow him in. I walk behind him in the isle, and he never turns and never sees me. I don’t call out his name either. I follow him out of Kroger and down a couple blocks to a club. He walks in and without thinking, I walk in behind him. I follow him and there’s super loud music and a huge crowd but I manage to follow him and see him walk up to another girl and they just sit in that corner and make out. It sickens me, so I get out of the club and walk up the streets going to catch the bus. But then I see my dad walking down the street, not toward me but he could see me if he turned his head. I quickly jump around and cover my face with my hand and run back into the club.
The next morning I go to a friend’s house, a friend from the club. And a couple others. One of them, Kayla, is very excited because she got 5 free tickets to the Olympics. The others just sit down and start boxing on the Wii. In a couple minutes my mom finds me and she walks up to me and slaps me hard twice on the cheek and says, “What were you thinking?!” I look at her and make up this whole story that I really don’t expect her to buy.
“Well, I don’t really know how I got to the town but I must have sleep walked and then I got hungry and I thought the club was a restaurant and went in there but after I realized it was actually a club the guard dude said I couldn’t leave and so I found a couple girls and left with them.” I lied. And she actually believed me. And said to come home when I was done here.
Suddenly, Kayla started crying and she wouldn’t talk to anybody. So I went up to her. She was hiding under the table.
“What’s wrong Kayla?” I asked. She jumped out from under the table and onto me, making my fall onto the ground. She’s on top of me, crying hysterically.
“They just called me… and … I didn’t get tickets to the Olympics… I got backstage passes! I GET TO MEET MICHAEL PHELPS!!” She cried, and that’s when I realized she was happy crying. After all that was done, I started watching the Wii boxing. It was happening on two sides and four people total were fighting. Two were the fighters; two were the people they were fighting with. Whoever went down first won, but they had to try. This black girl went down first. Suddenly, it became live, and I was the news person. The white girl won but the black girl was all like, “But I went down first.”
Then, I suddenly became a girl, running away with these men with horses chasing me. I was close to home, I say my horses walking around and I hopped on one of them and rode home. There, my mother was digging a pool and my dog was splashing around in a shallow puddle my mom created with our hose. “Hey Mom.” I say, jumping over the puddle and running into the house, shutting the door and the blinds. My grandma is a neat freak. I put her to sleep when the new people arrive to interview me. I put on a pity story and they run.
Then I am suddenly in a restaurant eating with my friend Cat. I am Bones and Booth is sitting right next to me. Instead of getting a fortune cookie, we get a pencil. And mine says the word ‘BONE’. I think it’s the cutest thing. And Booth is bored he just nods his head in agreement. We have to go because a murdered woman has been discovered and her eyeballs have been cut out. We go downstairs and someone from upstairs calls and says Cat was stabbed to death right after we left. Booth and I start running up and become  Poppy and me, we stop at a Chinese restaurant to eat. Then we go to a Korean restaurant to eat. And the Korean dude says, “You eat Chinese then Korean, who you kidding?” In a Korean accent. Then we go to a fast eat Japanese restaurant and eat the food fast so the Japanese guy doesn’t catch us.
Then I wake up.

Parties, Flying Cars, Cliffs, and a Sunset that takes me away

I had this dream on Sunday when I was sleeping in the car when we were driving back home from Ohio.
I have had this dream before, I don't remember when. But everyone in the dream also knew that it was a dream and that I have had it before.

I returned from a party with my friend and two brothers. The younger one sat down and watched TV but the older one took out a camcorder and started taping us. He said, "And today is the day to reveal some secrets!" and zoomed in on me. I walked up and put my hand on the lens and we all started laughing. Just then, my friends mother comes and is shocked. She says, "How dare you laugh!" and pulls my friend away who is looking at me with eyes that say Help Me! I have a flashback and I know that in the end of the dream the mother will go crazy and will reveal the truth about herself.

My brothers disappear as I walk into the hallway where the butler is waiting for me. He knows exactly what I want him to do: Find clues. But he has already found them and kept them from the last time this dream took place. He has put them all in a vent under the runner under the decorating tables in the hallway. He takes out the clues and we rush to the car: my grandfather's old ambassador car. Surprisingly, it can fly. And everyone knows that we'll find another clue in the pocket of the back seat of the car but we don't "find" it yet because it isn't the right time.

At this part of the dream I find out that I am part of a tribe: the Oriya. We have been underestimated and looked upon as stupid and unhygienic by the rest of the tribes. All the tribes have one Great Spirit that they pray to and when the time is right the Great Spirit comes out and gives you advise, but it is never straight forward. It is always a riddle, or symbolic, or poetic, and you have to figure it out and find out what he's talking about.
After about ten minutes in the car, the Great Spirit jumps in. It is like a ghost, his head, and only his head flies into the car and says: He is not to be trusted. The swarm of Bees will kill. He flies away. I have no idea what he just said but I have no time to think about it because right then a guy and girl jump into the car and say, "Hi! I'm Oriya." I am glad to have someone else to relate to and say, "Me too!" We talk for a while and I learn that the boy has a power to make whatever he wants appear out of thin air.

"I know how to help you." He says. I tell him to help me. Suddenly a swarm of dangerous Bees come out from underneath the seats of the car. "What are you doing?!" I yell.
"Saving you by killing you!" he says. I panic and jump out of the car and land in a river. From the riverI see a tribe lined up on both sides. And I see the same boy giving them instructions.
"I am from the Oriya. Since you have looked down upon us our whole surviving lives, I will kill you. But. To make it a fair fight, I will give you a chance at making an arrow and killing me before I make you jump off of that cliff." Oh no, I recognize the tribe, the suck at making arrows. How can I help them? About 25 arrows appear in my arms. I go around and sneakily give one to each of the tribe members without getting caught. When I am giving an arrow to the last person, the boy sees me. I shove the arrow in his arms and go underwater and swim breaststroke all the way down the river. I get about 100 feet in front of the boy but the river ends and I have to get out and run. I run as fast as I can but it isn't fast enough. The boy catches me and takes me to the top of the cliff. I choose a spot on the cliff and jump into the river and bend just at the right time surviving the deadly fall. I swim to the end of the river and notice the spirits of all the people who died on the jump swimming with me. I reach the end and run to a tree and climb up it. I find about six other people in the trees with tennis balls and baseballs. "What are you doing here?" I said.
"We survived the fall too, and we are going to throw these balls at the boy when he comes after you." One of them says.
"Thank You." I see the boy coming but he stops. He calls out to someone then grins. A huge monster: a dull yellow colored, mean King Kong comes after us. We all run in different directions. Soon, I lose the monster and run out of the forest to encounter the most beautiful scenery ever.

The grass is up the my lower thighs, the sun is just about to set and it reflects off of the grass making it look golden. I spot a person: A dancer, dancing in the golden grass. The sun reflecting off of her skin making it shine almost as bright as the sun. She is graceful, beautiful the best dancer I have ever seen. She turns in circles and jumps and moves her arms and her long skirt flies everywhere with her silky black hair. I walk up to her quietly she stops spinning and looks at me, a calm smile rests on her lips. I recognize her! "Jenna?!" I ask, so surprised to see her here in my dream, dancing in the middle of nowhere.
"Hi." She says calmly then continues to dance.
"What are you doing here?"
"Dancing"
"In the middle of nowhere?"
"Yup!"
"Who is picking you up?"
"Your parents"
"What?!"
Right then my parents' car pulls up and we both get in. My dad says,"Oh, sorry I forgot to bring you a change of clothes Sweta."
"Oh, It's alright. I'll just sit in this."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes." So we continue driving on the highway and Sweta and I talk. We stop at a gas station. I walk around and find a food court. I see a girl with curly blonde hair sitting there. I suddenly know her name: Sarah. She is crying her eyes out and screaming. I walk past her scared of what might happen if I do talk to her and sit at the other table.

After I wake up, I realise we actually have stopped at a gas station but no food court and no crying girls.
