So, last nite's dream was so exciting (to me), that I went back to sleep twice just so I could keep having it! And, for once, it worked! Ok, so me, Emily, Jason, Kim, Alicia (G, not M) and about 20 other people who we both knew and didn't know set forth on this trip to a school/mansion where we would all be studying/working. The heads of the school were this kind, young, wealthy couple who were to be called "Mom" and "Dad" by all of us. Our first nite, they showed us around the mansion, then tucked us in and said goodnite. I was awoken a short time later by someone entering the room...I froze up, somehow perceiving that this person was dangerous. The rest of my roommates were sound asleep--I laid on my stomach and pretended to be asleep as well. The man grabbed a knife that was laying on the bed next to me...I stayed perfectly still, and the man left. The next day, we all realized that we'd been taken hostage by this man and his sister (NOT "Mom" and "Dad"--they'd been kidnapped and taken somewhere else). We weren't allowed to leave our massive dormitory-style bedroom; the brother kept waving the knife around and screaming at all of us. That afternoon he had to leave "on business" and left his sister in charge of us...she looked like Em's pictures of Rosie Thomas! She was really nice and I befriended her by staying close to her and talking really close to her face (???). I tried to trick her by telling her that I *really* had to pee, and would she pleeease allow me to do so, but nice as she was, she would not--I got the sense it was because she was afraid of what her brother would do to her if I escaped. As I was attempting to find some way to get to the bathroom (I really did have to pee!), one of the people from our school group discovered that one of the walls rolled back revealing a stage and that there was a live rock concert going on--and that the brother was on stage singing! We saw that this was our chance to escape, so we all scattered in different directions...but me and Kim first made our way to the bathroom...we both really had to pee! While we were guarding the door for eachother, the brother and sister broke in! Yikes! But we told them that we weren't trying to escape and would they please give us our privacy. This worked (??) and soon me and Kim were off! We caught up with everyone else in some underground tunnel that eventually opened up to some hobo-party under a bridge. Emily had been there for hours! We were so happy to see her since we'd lost her earlier that morning and had no idea where she'd gone! She explained that she'd escaped by "making good tips". This meant that she had *had* to get out of the mansion, because she had an afternoon waitressing shift in town and felt she would be irresponsible to miss it, even though she was being held hostage. We all sat together and waited for the bus that would bring the rest of our friends. The day was sunny and everyone escaped.
