Night 14
4:00 - went to bed; slept deeply without much dreaming and woke at 8:10.
Day 14
8:15 - chocolate chip muffin and water
8:20 - 9:25, napped. Dreamed that we were with fiance in an amusement park or national park, but that we needed desperately to leave by sunset, or something bad would happen. He was confused about which direction we were going, but we were certain. We walked toward the car, and he argued we went the wrong way, because we're supposed to head east. We pointed out that since the sunset was behind us, we were clearly heading east. We found our car, as expected, and left. As we drove, suddenly it was bright noon daylight, and we were in the deep prairie countryside. We passed a row of houses having yard sales, and we got out to look at a particular house, which had a complex of outbuildings. One of the outbuildings was actually just a large dark green china cabinet full of tools; some of its glass panes were broken or missing.
The dream then transitioned to what seemed to be an old-style all-wood public building, either a library, courthouse, or orphanage, probably the latter. There was a woman there with twelve children, and we were helping her tend to all of them. We gave them two small sheep toys from the "Babe" film promo at McDonald's (or some other fast food place), toys we actually do have someplace in waking life, from our childhood. They were happy about it. The children were frightened of the dark, so we taught them how to hide under the beds and in the air ducts, to take away the monsters' hiding places by being there all the time.
Day 14.5
11:15 - 15:50, napped. Dreamed that Mum, aunt, cousin, and we were on trial for witchcraft, but it was a really kangaroo court sort of situation. We went all Dan'l Webster at the judge, who was unable to provide evidence of our supposed crimes. He wanted us burnt at the stake. We told him that he lacked even circumstantial evidence and witnesses, and he said he didn't need any, because "everybody KNOWS you are all devil-worshippers!" (Keep in mind, now, that our mother, our aunt, and our cousin are the three most fanatically devoted Baptist Christians we have ever encountered!) Finally, we slipped our restraints and charged the judge, then got up close in his face. He was wearing Bermuda shorts, and our left hand was on his thigh, fingers digging hard into the skin; our mouth was right next to his ear as we spoke, "Since you aren't operating under any actual legal authority, then there's really nothing to stop us biting through your carotid, ripping the skin off your leg, and leaving you here to bleed out. It is in your best interests to let us all walk free."
He let us go, looking terrified.
