The Kidnapper?

Okay so for everyone's information, usually when I dream about kidnapping, I'm usually the one who ends up kidnapped. I think I feel out of control in some domain, because these dreams tend to be fairly consistent.

But last night was different.

I dreamt I was in a car with Kate (From ABC's Lost) and I was in the front seat. Kate looks determined and I'm just confused, slightly. Until I realize that in the back seat, there is a young 13-15-year-old girl tied up and gagged. It doesn't seem to surprise me that much, and then I realize she has been kidnapped. My first thought is, I've been kidnapped too, until I start to remember what happened, and that I was a part of the kidnapping. I'm actually partnering with Kate and we have kidnapped this girl.

We're driving out in the country and the young girl starts talking about where she thinks would be a cool place to hide out (one suggestion was something to do with Spongebob) and ironically, Kate is agreeing with her, smiling and we're all kind of laughing. Suddenly, there are cop cars driving past and the next thing I know, we have stopped and both mine and Kate's doors open and we are pulled out by police, quite violently and all I can think about is how scary this is and I should never have done this. I'm being handcuffed and told my rights and shoved into the backseat of the police car with Kate. Then she tells me let's go and somehow, we manage to escape the cop car, get out of our handcuffs and run away.

Then, Kate and I are talking and she wants to go back after the girl we originally kidnapped. I agree and we start to plan.

((So, I don't quite know if it means I suddenly feel like I'm in control, but even still, I wasn't in control. I was still under Kate, in terms of power, but I was still a kidnapper. Maybe I'm gaining control. Weird)).

Welcome Home

Okay so last night I had the most amazing dream, but also sad at the same time, because it felt so real.

I dreamt that I woke up for work late and when I finally got upstairs, one of the girls from the JAYS (my youth group) was there and she was permanently there. Like I had adopted her! It seemed so natural that she was there. Now, the dream was in parts - because in reality, my alarm clock kept going on and off and on and off again. But parts of the dream were me saying I had to go to work but I would see her after work. I was sitting with her at one point, talking about what school she wants to go to in the fall. At one point, one of her friends was over and I was giving them options - I said after I was done work, they could either meet me at the church for JAYS later, or they could come with me, surf on the internet at my school for a bit while I got some work done, and then we could go out for dinner and go to the JAYS later. They wanted to do it that way. Another part, I wanted to buy a "Welcome Home" balloon for her.

Just so much weirdness, but it was so good, because the girl was happy. (In reality, I don't think she really is with her home life, and it breaks my heart). It was just really sad, and weird.
