Bad dream

I had the worst dream last night, I woke up crying. In my dream, some things were different as they are now. In the movie The Incredibles, Jack-Jack had a disease called AIDS, but it wasn't like AIDS at all because he was born with it and it's very contagious, but you can't die from it unless you don't take your medicine for it enough. The medicine doesn't cure it, but it reduces symptoms and keeps you from dying. You can get it if someone that has it coughs on you or something as casual as that. Since Jack-Jack had it, it wasn't a bad thing to get it as long as you took the right brand of medication, called Melonex. That's the kind he took in the movie. Also, some people don't get AIDS if they are exposed to it, but they get serious side effects which you will see later. Only kids can get the disease. So only people that have just gotten AIDS can spread it. If you've taken medication enough, then it reduces the chance of spreading it to others. Same with spreading side effects.

In my dream, it was still school and we were in the middle of an assembly. I was in the very back row, and not really paying attention even though Stina was in it. Then I started feeling really dizzy and tired. I guess Stina saw me faint or something, because she ran down from the stage and helped me up, and then we went to the office. I had AIDS, but I wasn't too worried. Stina said she didn't mind helping me because she always wanted white hair, and that was one of the side-effects she was getting. The other one was that her vision wasn't as good as it was. I guess the nurse revived me or something, and then it was the next day and Stina and Gram were with me and we were buying medication for me, but I don't think we ever bought it, we just bought a little information booklet about it.

Then my sister and me were outside raking leaves, and she was blind because she was exposed to me before I took my medication. I was yelling her directions because she was about to walk into a bench while she was walking down the driveway to put a bag of leaves in the trash can. I felt really bad for her.

Then we were back inside and I was walking down the hallway into the living room. Then Mom and Dad came home and they knew Jenny was blind and they had just gotten back from a picnic, so I took a bunch of leftover food in to the living room for Jenny and me to eat. Jenny was sitting on the couch and I said "Hey," but she said, "Shh, shh, don't tell me... It's Spem." And I was like, "Yeah it's me." I really wanted to watch TV, but I thought Jenny would feel bad because she could only hear it and not see it. Jen started talking to me, and she said, "Hey Emily, you know the lace border I have around my room? I was thinking putting a different design over it. What do you think?" Here I think to myself, Wow, either I haven't noticed the new decorations, or Jenny's been imaging things about her room since she can't see it anymore. Is everything black for her, or is it just extremely blurry? So I say, "I haven't been in your room in a long time, Jen. I haven't seen it." Then I start crying, and I ask her if she misses seeing things like the backyard and the gazebo because they're so pretty and then I woke up because my mom's alarm clock went off. I was relieved she was awake so I could cry on her.

God knows how horrible this dream was. All of my worst nightmares involve me directly or indirectly in this case harming my sister. This disease is impossible and I know my sister will never go blind, and Stina won't get white hair until she's really old. ttyl!
