Bidwell Academy - a dream I had last night

September 25, 2020

FREE WRITING

18

    I'm at school. I think it's a Write the World school, or at least it's run by the same admins. It's a boarding school at the Bidwell Mansion.
    Alya and Miles from the show Backstage are there, and so is Dmoral. Dmoral and I are both freshmen for some reason.
    It's time for each grade to pick a class president. Dmoral is the only one running for 9th grade.
    Suddenly, she gets extremely sick. The admins tell me that I must run in her place. They don't care how sick she is. I refuse to run for president while Dmoral's horrible illness is being swept under the rug.
    She is lying on her back on a bed, with her legs hanging of the edge and get feet on the ground. She has become quite pale and is almost completely still.
    I run into the other room and tell my schoolmates that I refuse to run for president because of Dmoral's condition, and everyone joins my stance in solidarity for her.
    Back in the room where Dmoral is, I sit next to her on the bed and hold her hand while B,* who is her close friend, sits facing her on the bed next to hers. She appears to be dying.
    Finally, she opens her eyes and sits up. B cups her face with his hand, emotional over her recovery. The last thing I remember before waking up is hugging her and telling her what happened, and I think I was crying.
*Irl he's a person from my old school

Some other things happened at the school before any of this occurred (which at that time was not the mansion), but I don't remember them well enough to describe them, and they don't particularly affect the rest of the dream.

    This is kind of funny yet also seems very real. What's humorous is that the admins were the villains; it's cool that Dmoral featured too.

    I am sorry for the late reply lol!
    I had commented about one dream I saw. It was a wtw school again. I remember you were a classmate. Then your nickname was blueberry cotton candy. It had tushar, V rose and many others as classmates. Now recalling it, it's weird and hilarious.
    Also your piece is wonderful! I started to picture Dmoral.

    replying: no, it's actually recycled from an old piece you might have read, "lady of sorrows," rewritten to match the theme of "color" for a lit mag. i wanted to capture the ache of meeting someone you will never truly know.

    Re (Anne Blackwood): Oh XD. I am such a mindless brute. I had completely forgotten that I had said that on one of your pieces, I'm sorry! I should probably think before I write things, and mentally keep track of who I support! Also, thank you for the clarification of the use of Re, I'll probably use that now whenever a conversation like this occurs again. I wish you good luck in your writing!

    Reply: Nah, man, you're cool, I get it. One time I had a dream that I was cast in "Hamilton"--as myself. It was so weird. Well, at least I was onstage with the OBC.

    Anne Blackwood - The comment was "Oh I will! :) Don't worry, my descriptive language isn't usually as bad as it is in the piece lol,"

    I did write a warning on the side, warning about the SINGLE swear in the story, making the comparison of the military swearing more than a skilled stone skipper can toss a stone across a lake.

    I wasn't sure what this meant, stating that the single swear is nothing, or that my descriptions were bad. I was very conflicted on whether or not it was destructive or constructive criticism, or just a comment. Thank you!

    I would like to apologize for my rash and utter disrespectful comments of "Learn to capitalize." That was immature of me to say so, instead of providing constructive criticism. I was a bit frustrated by one your comments on one of my pieces (I no longer have it uploaded because I made the choice of feeling it isn't ready yet, but it was called Rim of the Galaxy: Alarn (Chapter Two: Rose Gifts), because I didn't understand what you were criticizing. If you don't accept my apology, I hope you have a wonderful rest of your day/night.
