I Had the Weirdest Dream

Really, I did.

Last night, I dreamt that my win sister, Kate, and I were leaving the school (which was somewhat changed - made bigger, mixed with previous schools, and reminded me of this magnet school I went to in 6th grade, plus lots of winding paths and such) after it had let out, when our parents and little sister hurried by in their car, honking and loudly exclaiming that we needed to wait up. So we hoppedin the car with them and while Dad parked the car by the stadium(dream addition to the school - think professional football arena-type thing), he and Mom explained that there was a game that da after school at six, and it was between the Tampa Buccaneers and the New York Giants. Or the Yankees. I think it was acually the Yankees. So I perked up and thought 'oh my gosh, I can go talk to my friend Katy before she leaves and her mom picks her up to go home.'

At this point, we were in the stands, and the stadium was kinda-sorta trickling with people. Dad was talking about how we could root for the Buck's while he, Bug(my little sister) and Mom cheered for the winning team - the Yankees. (Thus why I originally thought it was the Giants, but, eh.) So I nod, grab a nacho, and run off down the stands, through the home team enrance into a side hallway of the school, madly dashing to find my friend Katy.

Note, Katy is NOT my twin sister Kate in any way, shape, or form. They are very different, and I find it weird that they have such similar names.

So I'm practically flying through the halls to find Katy, not getting tired at all, and am getting worried because I don't see her anywhere. I go out a side door and zoom over flat, short stone steps inlaid with painted grape patterns, and going around a bend, I open a door and I find her in a dim-ish, wide hallway a la my 3rd grade school. Very wide and long, at the end there's a three-way intersection. Hannah Gibbs is there, talking with someone, and the door nearest her is open, and her twin sister is standing in it. I look inside, and there's Katy!

She's staying at school until 4:21 for an IB (International Baccalaureate educational program) thing with the Gibbs sisters, and is happy to see me, too. We end up chattering, and at this point I woke up.

This is all a very long winded description of me blinking at sunshine and thinking: Bwah? I need to talk to Katy more and Grapes = Dionysus? Seriously, for the first half hour after I woke up, the grapes in the dream were all I could think about. They popped out A LOT, and were one of the most vivid parts of the dream.

So . . . yeah. Putting that out there. Confusedly,
