+ The Blue-Sweaters +

(ACTUAL DATE UNKOWN)

(This dream occured several times in one night, each with the same outcome UNTIL this one, which I remembered)

On a cool Autumn night, with no stars in the sky I find myself walking to the grocery store (from the direction of the bank). The store seems normal on the outside, but when I enter I see that something is strange. The people inside are all weraing a light blue sweater, both customers and employees, with a strange signon the front that I don't recognize and/or remember. After looking around for a second, I remember why I came: to get a specific pencil/pen for school. To get this item, I proceed to the back of the store where the bread section is. there is a stand there with a strange woman that makes me feel uneasy. Eager to leave, I ask for the pencil and she points it out to me, smiling kindly (which makes me even more nervous; the smile didn't seem to fit). I turn to leave I after I get the item and suddenly I am surounded by the "Blue-Sweaters". Panicking almost, I try to get to the door but the Blue-Sweaters are in my way. They completely trap me and everywhere I turn there is a person in the way.

In all of the other dreams before this one I had become trapped, but this time I cry out in anger and desperation and try to push past them. Almost animalistically, I bite limbs and claw where I can. I finally escape the group, but find a single Blue-Sweater in my way. He is always the same man, with menacingly blue eyes. I stop in front of him, narrowing my eyes and growling lowly in the back of my throat. With a smirk, he lunges and I kick out at him so I can quickly rush by.

Luckily I get outside into the parking lot, but he manages to grab my ankle and trip me. I leap back amazingly quickly, only to be blocked again. Although it seems impossible to escape, I then do something strange. I peer down at my T-shirt (dark, dark blue) and call out the name of a star: Alpha-Centauri. The name under an insignia appears on my shirt and I charge. The Blue-Sweater is pushed away by an invisible force or shield, but he again gets through.

I again call out a name, this time the Milky Way Galaxy. My shirt changes and I suddenly have the ability to run faster. I attempt to pass him, but his own forces pin me to the ground. In my ear he whispers something, but I cannot remember it. It made me angry and afraid, so I kick him again and I run in the direction of my home.

As I leave, he does not chase me, but yells after me, "you'll come back" or "you'll return" - something like that.
