Escapism…

I had another “escape” dream. Where I was, I cannot quite remember – it was likely a school again, but I wanted to get away. Shred was there. I went to the top of the building. He tried to get me to stop, but I kept running. The top of the building led to a glade or such. It was like spring or summer. Trees allowed sunlight to filter through them beautifully.
Shred managed to follow me. I took off. I saw people out in the grass, but paid no mind. I wasn’t going back even if it was Shred telling me to. I jumped and flew. He kept running after me.
Eventually I came to a somewhat void place and a bunch of people were there – people who were out to cause trouble. They didn’t look imposing to me, it was just a feeling. I cannot distinctly remember what went on other than me physically avoiding them and going no farther.
Shred eventually showed up, but he was far away, still on the ground while we were high above. He started climbing what looked to be a metal structure… it was yellow. Even on it, he wouldn’t get that far. He looked like an ant he was so far away. I looked again at the people blocking my way.
Something happened then and I looked back to Shred. I reached down as though the structure was a miniature – a toy. Where Shred was took place a strange bug. Most would likely have found it horrifying to look at, but I knew it was him and thus dismissed the appearance. I somehow knew the people in front of me did that to him and was outraged.
I believe I woke up after that before anything was solved/concluded.

A few days before this one, I had something somewhat similar go on in my dreams. It was of course an “escape” dream. I was at what I knew to be a school, likely a college. I looked about, there was a pool out back, I was once in a cafeteria-like place but it seemed more like a lounging/study hall area. I saw Jovan there as well as a few other familiar faces. Something urged me to leave. I wanted out. I wandered around, stumbled upon the pool again but only this time there were a bunch of students partying. Eventually I reach the front part of the school. I merely want to get to a place that is deserted there. I see a ledge and decide to jump – I always seem to be able to jump to the tops of buildings. Jovan had followed me and poked fun at me that I could have simply walked up as there was a sloping wall that led to it. Something ticked me off – the last straw as you will.
I couldn’t simply find peace by going to a high place, so I was leaving. Jovan refused to let me and went to get a teacher and students he and I knew to force me to stay there. I jumped into the air and flew.
They followed, searched for me and I avoided. Eventually I left town, flew higher and drifted to a strange land. It was mainly of African Americans… dressed in Little House on the Prairie times. Some of the women were as tall as sky scrapers… I saw one dancing with a man of average height. I paused and thought, I’ve been here before in previous dreams.
I carried on, and drifted to a more modern land. There was construction going on, I saw rust colored pipes on a high building, thought I had been there before again, passed it and eventually came to a bunch of skyways.
One looked like tracks to a roller coaster and I saw a short train riding on it. I observed life below me. Everyone was small and busy looking. I continued on my way, high in the sky and eventually woke up.

These two dreams are the first ones to combine my dreams of school, which usually deal with irritation and wanting to escape, and my flying dreams that mainly consist of simply drifting high above and seeing different lands as I observe the world below. I never thought to connect the two really.

The one where Jovan appears, I told my mom about it. I mused about it meaning I might have felt I didn’t belong in this world. After all, I feel pretty estranged to fellow humans anyway. In my dreams I usually feel at peace when flying. I love just drifting in them and watching the world below. In my dreams at a school or such usually just deal with me thinking, “Why am I here?”  That, or I am very irritated with someone or something bothering me and I lash out in some way or another. Sometimes I just flat out leave.
Oh well. I just thought I’d post these two.
