I remember being over a giant city in some kind of low-flying craft and looking down at the puffing chimmneys and sprawling industrial complexes and, later, being on a bus in a city with too many roads. The bus took a ramp up onto this very high highway that was only one-way and I realized that we were on the wrong way. I was standing on the bus holding the pole with a boy from my high school, and in the dream, we sang a Hana Vu song together, I guess because we were scared. I remember a wooden hallway in a dense forest and speaking to someone in it.

Scare-O-Meter: 3/5. Confusing and I don't remember a lot.

❧ Jan. 6th

I was at the dinner table with my family when Jesse sat next to me (I guess he lived with us.) My mom asked him what was wrong because he looked despondent and he said that one of his grandparents had died. Suddenly, Daryl Dixon of TWD fame was there and said something about going out. I asked my dad if I could go with and he said yes.

I don't remember *how* we got there, but eventually we got into the first floor of a mall in a plaza-type area where there were a bunch of a zombies we had to kill and Daryl said that he thought I did a good job (☺). We came out to the highway from the first few episodes of Season 2, only it had flooded into a river. We drove a car through it and there was a middle-aged lady in the backseat who was our friend, too, I guess, but I don't know who she was.

We saw lots of weird things in the river, like a man playing bongos on top of an overturned car and a weird angled shot of a man swimming inside to see a corpse tangled in seaweed. Finally, we made camp at the side of the highway and I remember us joking around. Later on, we went to a bookshop on a sloped street where life seemed to be normal. There were lots of strip malls and children playing in their parking lots. The bookshop was stocked with slim, strange books and was very thin, really more of a hallway. At the other end of it was a glass door looking at the higher end of the street, at the top of which was a squat castle made of multiple seperate buildings. All along the edges of it were clustered mushrooms that were actually tiny houses.

Scare-O-Meter: 3/5. Daryl was there :-)
