The Evil Supermen

04-12-06

It was strange what I can remember. superman was really upset with something or someone, or maybe with some town. He was acting very evil. some how he was divided. There were like 4 of him. Each one with his own uniform a little different than the others and each looked a little different. He (they) were causing a lot of destruction and havoc. One of them was in the air flying and used his heat vision to melt someone or something. I think that it was a dog. He used his heat vision, but it was a little different. Instead of burning it liquefied. Then someone retaliated and tried shooting him and was liquefied.

Then a group of police or military men or both were going to try and take him out. I tried warning them that it wouldn't *"adiantar nada." But they tried anyway and were liquefied. I avoided staying with large groups of people. I think that I was mostly staying with Adam (It was after my mission). We were seeing all of this destruction going on. There was one part where he was playing with a plane. Making it look like it was going to crash and then lifting it back up. I don't remember what he ended up doing with it, but later he took a big helicopter and threw it at some huge tank of some flammable substance that caused a huge explosion.

I could see that soon all of the debris and ashes and everything from the explosion would arrive to us. I found a small place that we could take cover.

Then I think that after that he went on to another city. It seems like they were going to go on to all of the cities destroying them and killing many and gathering them all together in the city where I was which was only partly destroyed. And then it would be genocide of the human race. I watched the destruction going on on the TV. It seems like in the city where I was some scientists came up with some idea that they were sure would stop him (them). I wasn't convinced.

I cam up with my own idea to take some supplies (like a food storage) to one of the cities after it had been completely destroyed and wait and hide out there with a few people. That's about all that I can remember. I know that the Flash and Batman were mentioned in the dream, but I don't think they were seen.

So it looks like I was going to start and lead some rebel group of human survivors against the supermen, like what always happens in movies when the human race is conquered. Or I was just going to wait and survive and restart life and try to talk, negotiate, help the supermen or something. I think that my plan was the 2nd.

Then I had some other dream that in someway is interconnected with the other. I was working at Papa Murphy's and I missed my shift on Wednesday or something. It was the day of the Supermen destruction. I had completely forgotten about work. Mallory was the manager. Ron asked her to fire me and 3 others that didn't show up and I somehow found this out. I missed 2 or 3 days of work it seems like, because I only returned there on Saturday. However, it seems like Ron had changed his mind. So I was getting my schedule from Mallory. She was telling me the days and times that I would work. I remember she started saying Sunday and I put the pen down and said that I wouldn't work on Sunday.

*adiantar nada means do any good

A Couple Quick Dreams

03-11-06

Last night I had a dream that I was still in high school. We were near the end of the semester and I hadn't gone to Calculus for months and hadn't done any assignments. I was worried about how I was going to get caught up. Its strange that I still dream thinking that I"m still in high school.

04-08-06

I had a dream that I somewhat remember. I was returning home. I still hadn't been released and I was having trouble speaking in English with people. I kept saying things in Portuguese and getting frustrated. I would greet people saying, "Boa Tarde." It was pretty frustrating.

Even now I often have dreams that I'm still in high school and haven't gone to a certain class or any class for months and there is a test coming up or the semester is ending or what not. I also have a lot of dreams where I am in high school and because I can't remember my class schedule and don't know what class I should be going to, or that I can't remember which locker is mine, or what my locker combo is.

The dream about returning home must have been prophetic, because that actually happened when I came home. For weeks I had trouble speaking English and would accidentally say lots of things in Portuguese. Sometimes I would say sentences in Portuguese without realizing it, only finding out by the confused expressions or someone telling me that it wasn't English. The little things like greetings or saying thanks, the cordialities were the hardest, they would just come out in Portuguese and I felt like an idiot saying those things in public places.

The Halloween Transfer

09-12-05

Today I had a stomach ache and felt like if I continued walking I would throw up. So about 6:00 when we didn't have any more appointments until 8:00 we stopped by (eheh, I wanted to say stopped by in casa) went to our apartment. We laid down for a little while to let my stomach have a little time to get better.

I set my watch to go off at 7:45 in case I slept. I fell asleep and had a strange dream. We were missionaries and I was with Elder M. Souza. It was strange because we were sleeping in the dream as well.

For some reason there was some kind of emergency transfer (on a sidenote, it was Halloween). A bunch of missionaries were together in our house ( I think it was the zone). The zone leaders were leaving to receive the phone call and were saying that everybody needed to be back in the house by 10:00. It seems like Elder Graehl was one of them and said that Elder M. Souza and I could just stay in the house/apt. (It seems like it was in the centro of Campinas). I said, 'No, we have an appointment at 8:00.

He tried to convince me to let Elder M. Souza continue sleeping so that he wasn't tired for his first big meeting the next day or something like that.

But I said, "No, we have to go to this appointment." And so we got up and got ready to leave. We were going down the steps to leave when Bruno was going up. It seems like he was looking for Elder Xavier. We left the building and I woke up.

It was 7:50. My alarm hadn't gone off. I had set it for A.M. But I woke up, ready to leave to go to our appointment with Jaque at 8:00.

Elder M. Souza was the missionary that I was training at the time I had this dream. The centro (downtown) of Campinas was my first area, but I was in Matão at the time of the dream. Elder Graehl was a missionary I had known from the beginning of my mission that was my zone leader when I was in Campo Limpo Paulista, but at the time of this dream he had been home from his mission for about 3 months. Bruno was a person that I taught in the centro of Campinas. He was a very odd guy that we had to teach like a little child, teaching things simply and repeatedly for him to understand and remember. He was baptized three days after I left the area. Elder Xavier was the new missionary that was trained in Campinas right after I left, so he taught Bruno the new member lessons.
