Dream

Okay, I often don't remember my dreams, but last nights was too weird to forget. So, I'm on a Contiki tour, god knows where, and we're climbing a snow/ice face. It is nearly vertical! We aren't on ropes. We don't have harnesses or anything. We have regular boots and mittens. But climbing the iceface we are. There is a drop of at least 1000m, and I felt scared out of my mind even in my sleep! We get to the top, then make our way to the box of snowboards. They had those things surfboards have. The cords that wrap around your ankle, but are attached to the snowboard. So, we attach them to ourselves, then the idea is you jump off. The 1000m drop. You jump off it. Little freaky. I was the last one to jump. We didn't have parachutes or anything.

I'm getting closer and closer to the ground, which is still snow covered. But, I seem to just land easily on it. No show, no nothing. We just landed, and I honestly haven't felt so relieved about anything, even in real life, in so long. Then. we got a mini-bus back to the hotel. Me and my friend were trying to find the elevator, but we got lost about 8 times. We found ourselves in the hotel restaurant, the gift store, the bathroom, anywhere but the elevator. Eventually we found the stairs and took them instead. So, we get up one flight, and we see a bunch of polic trying to hold this guy down. The guy is really struggling and it looks like he's going to break free. We run like the freaking wind, but still get stopped by this guy who sort of holds us hostage.

But then I wake up to Stereophonics on my CD-alarm clock. I can't seem to get the thought of falling 1000m out of my mind. I guess I'll be doing that in New Zealand when I go sky diving. I still have no idea how I'm going to make it through. I don't mind heights, as long as I'm strapped into something like a plane, or a building! But free falling. I swear my heart is going to explode from over beating.

Free fall.

Freaky.
