Candy

I am at a fall fair with my father. It is very beautiful, very nostalgic and very whimsy.

Suddenly the scene shifts and I am in an unfamiliar house. The guy, who plays Mr. Sheffield from the Nanny is there with his older daughter, who is a little girl with blond hair. Creatures made of confectionery and candy, of sugar and icing are walking around. They look like a fusion of the Pillsbury Dough Boy and the Michelin Mascot Tire-Man.

The dreaming shifts again and we are now at my old primary school. It is night time and filled with unfamiliar people. We are running for our lives, trying to escape something menacing and violent that we cannot see, when suddenly she appears. She looks like the sorceress Maleficent from Sleeping Beauty, but changed somehow.

A girl named Georgi-Ann is there. I grab her hand and we run towards the fence trying to get away from the dark witch, who, now focused on our flight, follows. She is intent on killing us. As we try to scale the fence, Georgi is injured, but whether it is by the fence or by the foe I cannot tell. We make it over and to the other side of the fence and run down the road to a bus stop I remember being there, and sit on the seat.

Georgi is very ill and leans into me incapable of holding herself up. Maleficent glides down the road past us, but just when we think its safe she turns to attack. It is then that she sinks into the ground, into the earth, never to be seen again. Simultaneously there is an explosion at the school up the road to our right. It is an animated explosion of energy like a final move in a video game or anime. The entire road and building shakes to their core, and the foundation of the school collapses in on itself, though the upper structure of the school remains intact.

I race up the road back to the school to find out what happened, leaving Georgi laying at the bus stop. When I arrive I find only the unfamiliar people there. The school seems to have transformed into a factory of some kind. All the candy people now appear to be just candy and are no longer animated at all. They are no longer alive. I think about returning to get Georgi but I don’t know if I do and find that she has died, or if I just sense it and realize that it is too late.

The Dreaming shifts. We are once again in the unfamiliar house with Mr. Sheffield and his older daughter, who is a little girl with blond hair. Everyone is there who was in the beginning of the dream, except for my dad, the candy people and Georgi. The Dreaming ends.
