I was at my friend Lauren’s house, and her dad was outside with us. There were two dogs, and I think he was doing something bad to the dogs, and I told him to stop. He then took out a gun and shot one of the dogs, and then shortly after he shot the other. I said he might as well shoot me, not thinking he would, but then he shot me in the head.
I fell down, and I thought I was dead for a second, but then I realized I was only heavily injured. I felt the top of my head and it felt flatter, as if the top had been partially blown off. I was not in front of the house anymore, but down a hill leading up to it (it’s not that way in real life, though), and I was extremely scared that I was about to die. I tried calling people with my phone but no one would help me, and I think Lauren’s dad passed by but he did not help. Then my friend John called and I said in a hoarse voice, “I’ve just been shot in the head”, and then he just hung up. So then I realized I could call 911, so I did, but they said they could not help me with this kind of thing. I tried again a little later and they said they’d send someone over but no one ever came. I heard sirens in the distance but they were not for me. I felt so helpless and scared. Then I realized if I crawled in to the middle of the street, someone would see me and help. Somehow I got to the middle of a busy street, and then cars started stopping and people got out to help me. There were like six or eight people standing around me, and it felt very comforting. Then an ambulance finally came, and they put me in, and I felt so grateful to the paramedics. They shocked me with the defibrillator for some reason, and then I was in the hospital and I was fixed up.
Suddenly I was with Earl and Randy from My Name is Earl, and I went back to their place to recover. Then Lauren and her dad showed up, and I was mad at her dad for shooting me, but he did not care. I wanted to hug Lauren, but he said I couldn’t and they left. I followed them out, and Lauren ran quickly up and hugged me really fast, and then her dad got angry and started coming after me, and I was thinking how much of an asshole he was. He just shot me, and he wouldn’t even let me hug his daughter, but I ran away and started thinking about filing a lawsuit, but then that would hurt Lauren.
Note: After this, I woke up at about 4:30 thinking I had still been shot, and slowly I realized it was a dream. I also remembered that Lauren’s dad in real life did not look anything like in the dream and he was actually very nice. However, when I had been shot in the head, it was terrible, frightening, and I had a hopeless feeling that no one was going to help.
After this, I was at a house with my friend who resembled my friend Dan but was not him. There was another guy there too. There was a lot of talking that I don’t remember, and then we started having a gun fight for fun. I couldn’t land a hit on him, but then he was up on a deck and I got him in the arm, and excited that I had landed a hit, I shot him in the chest but then accidentally shot him in the head. I thought I had killed him and was scared that I would go to jail for life, and the guy next to me said I probably would. I said I could make it in to self-defense, and then the guy said we could just hide the body. Then “Dan” started to get back up and he did, and I asked if he wanted to go to the hospital but he said he’d be fine (the wound in his head was very small but it was still a bullet wound). Then I read a newspaper about how 100,000 years ago someone was shot in the head, then 100,000 years later they shot someone in the head, and I thought how interesting that was.
Note: Perhaps I had this dream last night because 9/9/09 was special, but it was crazy. The first part was definitely much scarier, but when I feared going to jail it was still pretty bad.
