Three Dreams

Had three anxiety filled sleepless dreams last night. Not at all what I needed.

Dream I
Two girls and three guys (including me) were in the mountains somewhere. We were in some kind of clearing or lair. The one guy was dead and mangled. It looked like he'd been run over, but I knew that wasn't the case. There was some kind of cave or hole in the ground where the others were stuffing his body. The others (the two girls and the guy) were vampires or something like vampires. The one girl had big red rings around her eyes that were cuts. When she got all fired up, the rings glowed or bled bright red, but not enough for the blood to run down her face, just enough to change color and look really menacing.

I was a co-conspirator of sorts, but I was not one of them. There was always an edginess between myself and them. Toward the end of the dream the edginess turned to threat. Her rings glowed bright red and I knew my time was up.

Dream II
I was in college or a college atmosphere hanging out at someones house. There was a girl I was with, but not really "with." When I decided to stay the afternoon, she somehow secretly gave me some kind of drug. She told her friends or house-mates (which I overheard) it was HGH (human growth hormone), but it didn't feel like a steroid. I got real groggy and slow. I could think, but everything was moving in slow motion. I couldn't figure out why she drugged me. Was it for fun or was she hurting me? She wouldn't tell me either way and acted indifferently to my concern and condition. Annoyed and realizing I needed to protect myself, I got in my truck (my truck?) and left. As I was leaving things at the house were starting to heat up. They were all preparing for some kind of sex party. Not sure if I was meant to be a victim, participant or what, but I got out of there.

Dream III
A friend and I were cruising around a college town (college again?) in some big old car that I think was a convertible. There was a girl cruising with us. She was riding in the back amongst a bunch of blankets or some other large and concealing material. At some point we stopped and the friend and I went inside someplace to grab a bite to eat or run some other errand. Meanwhile the girl stayed outside in the car to nap or relax beneath the blankets. While we were inside, someone drove off with the car, but they weren't just someone they were some kind of violent criminal. Our friend within the car realized she'd been taken with the car, but didn't think the assailant knew she was there. Discretely she called us from underneath the blankets and quietly gave us directions to find her. We knew it was only a matter of time before the thief stopped the car and figured out our friend was there. Frantically we rushed about town following our friends clues to locate her.

The car stopped and was left in a bad neighborhood. We were able to rescue our friend before she was found. In the interest of our own safety we left the car where it was. Though this one had a happy ending, it was stressful nonetheless.
