Emu ride

Here's a dream that seemed to be a two parter. It all started out with myself and another person trying to get to a school building that was part of a college campus, however it was mixed in with the city, so businesses, school buildings and streets were all mixed together.

I remember feeling anxiety as I had only just a moment to glance at a physical map to identify where I was currently located and also pinpoint where was the building I was trying to reach. I knew roughly in what direction and the street name where a "star" labeled my destination and that was it. Also given this was a school building, the sense of being late for class was also a prominent feeling. So off I was along with one of those non-descript friends you sometimes have with you in dreams. We were running through streets, up and down escalators and in and out of cars before we stumbled upon an emu farm in an open field portion of the city. Only in my dreams, right?


Of course these emu's were for renting as transportation, and only for $10.00 - what a deal! I rode my emu away thinking I would surely make it to class on time now. This is where the 2nd part of the dream kicks in. I no longer was on my way to this building, but somehow I was now inside a small apartment with two females near my age who were, for the most part, strangers. My sense was I had picked them up along my travels with my emu, which by the way did I mention was pregnant in my dream as well as myself too.


While inside the apartment, girl #1 was in the kitchen preparing something and I was sitting on a bed or a sofa (something super comfortable and loungy) with Girl #2 and my emu. This is where things got scary. Girl #2 was loading up a syringe with what I assumed to be heroin (not sure why a hard drug is in this dream) and for whatever reason she was going to inject my emu with it. As shocked as I was, I yelled that the emu was pregnant and she shouldn't do that, but it fell on psycho drug addict ears and of course a struggle between myself and Girl #2 ensued where I'm desperately trying to keep her from drugging my emu.

I awoke in mid struggle with sweat soaked pajamas and an elevated heart rate. It felt so real!
