The Adventures of Algorithm Girl

moving staircases [dream]

First part of my dream was really weird and kind of creepy. I guess I was shopping at Walmart or some type of convenience store. For some reason, the selves were all really messy. Maybe a lot of people had passed by them because of the holidays season. I was trying to look for a gift also. I look at my cell phone to check the battery and it was almost dying. But at the same time I was also getting sleepy. I fall asleep standing, leaning against a wall and left my cell phone on the shelf next to me. Next thing I know, it was closing time and I’m being woken up by a really creepy guy who was working there, Fortunately another guy that was working there saved me from the creepy guy! I check my phone again and see it’s almost dead. I quickly get all my stuff and get out of the store. I can’t remember what I was trying to buy but I just thought that I’d get it later. They were already closed.

Next thing I remember, I’m driving to the house of the guy that saved me from earlier. It wasn’t as late as I thought anymore. It was more like the sun was almost done setting and it was going to be night time. I can’t remember what I was doing there. I think I was really freaked out from the creepy guy earlier that I just thought to go there. He then walked with me back towards my car, but I still had a little bit of a wak to get there when he left me. I hurry up and find my car. I had some trouble finding it because there were a lot of cars parked in the neighborhood.

Then I’m driving and it’s raining, still around the same time of the day but maybe brighter because I could see everything, despite the rain. I’m trying to drive carefully and get myself at an intersection. There’s a car on my right that was driving pretty fast. For some reason, I felt like I knew there was going to be an accident and soon enough there were. I see the car on my right try to get past another car, but both of them ended up swerving over to a field of grass to the left. They tumble and tip over. I thought there was another car that got involved too, but I’m not sure. I was driving pretty slowly and was able to pull over to the side. I try to call 911 from my almost dying phone. It went to some stupid local station that wasn’t any help at all. I hang up and try to call again. My phone was acting up, no luck. I just start yelling at other people to call for help when I got out of my car. I look down to the side of the road and see a mass of people getting out of their cars and wandering around too. I try to look for shelter.

I go into this weird blue house. It looked like there was a party going on, but it was mostly from other people looking for refuge too. The hosts of the party were old ladies, one of which had silver-cyan blue hair. For some reason, I saw Britney Spears dressed up as a sheep in a plastic bag, but it wasn’t even Halloween. I couldn’t figure this out for a while until I realized that she was one of those stuffed animals that you win at carnivals. She was with her husband in a suit. Everyone was nice, but I was still panicked. The old ladies kept saying how the house had four floors and it was the only house with “living staircases,” whatever that meant.

We stay the night and then next I know, it’s day time again. I start worrying about all those people walking around too. I go to the kitchen and look out the window. The window looked out to a grassy meadow. I thought that we were kind of far from where the accident took place, but maybe we were really near by. The people were walking around outside, looking like they were about to migrate. For some reason, I get scared and told everyone in the house to keep quiet. I glance through the window on my right and see a neighboring kid looking out of his window too. I duck and try to stay hidden from the people outside. They looked in and I could just feel like I was being stared at. After they passed, I go into the living room intending to tell people to stay quiet, but the old ladies insisted on making noise “so they know we’re here.” She then called onto the “living staircases” to come down and make a raucus. This sequence then started to look like a Tim Burton animated film. The “living staircases” were real people with long staircases on top of their heads. They were suspended on the walls of the living room and all of a sudden, one by one with the walls shaking, they would gracefully fall dow to the living room floor and started dancing with each other. I decided to wake myself up after this.
