Starts with
Family camp: sticking up the lyrics to a song on a canvas (on bits of paper) with white pencil being used to draw in the words that are missing. I can't stick the pieces of paper up in time, can't even remember what song it was. Lots of little kids running around everywhere
Turns into FOCUS camp. Faces that stand out: a lady obviously not a Christian talking about miscarriage, Dene giving a talk on .. something.. and thanking the people who own the campsite for letting us have the site for so cheap. For some reason, we're all sitting on the top of a bunk bed with no mattress, on the wooden slats (it's very big so we all fit).
Turns into all of us packed into a minibus on the way to a bushwalking spot, driving up a narrow side-of-mountain road, beautiful lake on the left. At the same time we are praying one at a time as if it's at the end of a bible study, but people are talking over the top of one another. I try to finish off with difficulty because people keep butting in and talking about random stuff.
Turns into walking up a steep cobblestoned path, for some reason we are "bushwalking" in Japan - Ben Lim is taking photos of everything. I'm walking up with ?Mike Halpin and teaching him random japanese stuff. There are old people along the path, we greet and bow to each other. It's very windy and the wind is trying to push us back down the path.
We arrive at a temple at the top of a hill, with 3 large stone "swords" set on a stone platform, on one is written "4 horses and snake" and there are pictograms depicting the sacrifice of 4 horses at the site. One of the people in our group is a "lost" humanoid entity that is reluctant to leave this dimension, and cannot be shown anything that might show him the way "home". As the priest opens the book of the story of the site, I make sure that he can't see it.
There is an ornate jar, and a necklace.
A group of "bad guys" has come up as well, Mrs Dettrick my old primary school teacher is brainwashed by the evil dude to take the necklace.
I am holding the jar, when the lid is taken off, it's like bagpipes are playing.
Suddenly we are free to take whatever we want from the temple, and are warned not to incur "the wrath". Both groups of people start to take heaps of stuff down stairs. For some reason the cobblestone path has turned into a circular stair (Morrowind castle stairs) and large wooden doors open onto a front courtyard, where my car is and also 2 of the "bad" cars. The lake is now directly across from the castle as well.
It starts getting dark and the other group starts loading up their cars, I get my car and reverse it so that the boot is facing the door and people start to load everything up.
Lawrence explains that once he's left the castle he can't go back in without invoking "the wrath"
It becomes very windy and lightning and rainy and the inside of the castle starts to take on a red-orange light, everyone gets very scared and i try to get everyone out.
the other group of people get in their cars and drive away. there are still a few people left inside, Jeram is nowhere to be seen.
Somehow everyone fits inside my car, but not everyone has made it out.
I still have the jar, and 2 other things that the priest gave me.
Next thing I remember I'm in the lake with a very heavy jacket on, somehow everyone has been condensed into the jacket and the way to save them all is to jump in the water with the jacket and bring them out again. I managed to get out of the jacket and drag it back with me to the surface, it's quite deep.
I put the jacket on the lake shore and chest compress each person and they all get better.
I've come to the conclusion that it was me that caused "the wrath" because i went back inside to help put stuff in the car. Looking back, it was probably the other group because they were in and out loading stuff first.
Next scene I've time travelled to a little hut-style restaurant and me and Nat Kirk am waiting for everyone to turn up. After a while, everyone walks down the road except for Jeram. I'm really worried and sad because he hasn't turned up. After waiting a while, everyone wants to go inside the restaurant so we go. Nat and Ali offer for me to stay with them. I come out after about 20 minutes and Jeram is being pushed down the road in a wheelchair by a few people, with a drip. I'm really happy!
For some reason, I timetravel back to that moment again (it starts replaying from the beginning), Nat is standing with me waiting again, but this time I want to find out what time Jeram actually arrives. I duck inside to get our group a table first. In the kitchen, the cooks are cooking what looks like ladders over a fire, turns out they're meat. There's 2 "ladders" that they want to give away or chuck out (I think they're over-done or something) so I take them happily, our group gets a table and everyone starts eating and drinking.
Jeram comes down the path at 4:22pm, this time he is still in a wheelchair but he is pushing himself.
For some reason, images of us at the house in Howl's moving castle.
Random scenes towards the end: people have somehow been condensed into amber liquid in what looks like lots of sauce sachets. a girl is in a tub of water being told by scientists and her family that to save the people, she needs to breathe in the water, she does and everyone is ok.

wow that was a really long and weird dream... I woke up over an hour ago, but I still have such a strong recollection that I wanted to remember it.
----
woke up with a strong urge to see Jeram and see the FOCUS people.
----
napping from 11am - 4pm does that i guess.
