*start of dream*
My cousin is standing next to me in the hallway of an old house. We are talking about normal stuff and when she's about to leave, she gets uncomfortably nervous. Then she asks me if she can borrow clothes because she has none. I go up the stairs and start digging through my suitcase, trying to find clothes that are both nice, but ones I won't want back - just in case. I bring them back to her downstairs. It occurs to me when I'm handing them over that I haven't listened to the news since the night before. I realize that something's wrong in the world and believe it to be a strong earthquake on the western coast, but won't know for sure until I check the news.
Upstairs, I tell a friend who's living in another bedroom that I had this awkward moment with my cousin. my friend tells me that she will need to go away in the spring because both of her grandparents on her mother's side will die. She doesn't seem too upset, just stating it as a matter of fact because she doesn't want to start making promises to others that she'll be around when she knows she won't.
Then I'm observing a classroom scene. It's a group of medical students preparing to write an exam, there will be two sittings and each student's name is written on the board next to one of the times - except one. His exam is being delayed due to a personal emergency. Someone is dying, he's upset, but he's still in class with everyone. Maybe he just got word.
As I wake up, it feels like 9:00. It feels like it so much that I can see multiple clocks in my mind displaying 9 am on the dot. Then I get a brief sense of worry, like 9 am makes me nervous. I don't know why.
* end of dream *
I woke up at 8 am this morning.
