Just woke up from a nightmare!
Dreamt I was back in nursing school although this time round,
the nursing school is a semi-hospital and it was really high-rise,
with 80+ floors!! 
There
were many corners and nooks and crannies and it was very very scary
cause it was mostly dark and ghosts and other sinister creatures
not of htis world were lurking all over the place! They were quite
bold too and some of them just get out and about along the
corridors and into the rooms in broad daylight! 
To escape a group of phantoms tailing me cause I somehow ended
up being alone, I ran into a huge room, which happened to be a
sewing hall and there were lots of ladies in there sewing and
learning how to sew clothes from paper patterns. I got busy
for a while, deciding which pattern of dress to sew etc.
Then suddenly, I had to get out to work in some funny
ward. It was meal time and the dinner trolleys were being
pushed around. Somehow, there was enough manpower so someone
said, Missy, just push this trolley to the other end and then
distribute amongst yourself and your friends!
But the corridor was loooong and it got darker and darker as I
pushed it. I was soooo relieved when I entered the last room
and it was brightly-lit and elindra and av were there!! 
As we distributed the food and selected our own, more food was
coming. There was an old HDB flat type of wooden shutter
window at the head of this large bed so I went to sit on the large
bed and looked out (not down, because I think we were more than 80
storeys high!!! 
)
There was a tiny rectangular pot of various small cactus by the
window sill and I was a bit fearful someone would accidentally kick
or push it out the window. 
I
looked out and there was a huge HDB penthouse apartment in the
opposite block with a roof-top garden which I could see very
well. There were cactus all over, one huuge barrel-like round
succulent one, and esp one really tall, multiple-lobed one!
For some strange reason, I kept looking at the tallest cactus and
wondering if anyone would be brave enough to get on top of a ladder
to trim it or something because then if you fall off the ladder,
it's a long way down!
Then, elindra and av and I decided to explore the recesses of
our building. We stumbled into an indoor amusement
park! We decided to go for the roller coaster rides.
The first ride wasn't so scary... it was pretty gentle. It
had the old strapped on belt that I was worried about. Then,
we had to walk into a tunnel and descend to our seats in the 2nd
roller coaster, which was a killer roller-coaster! It
had death-defying plunges and corkscrews and what-not. Worse,
elindra couldn't seem to put on her safety harness and she was
sitting facing the wrong way, and mine didn't seem to get tight and
snug enough! The roller-coaster started moving down slowly
and both of us were screaming and screaming! av tried to yell
to the guys to stop and at this point, I was so fearful, I woke
up!
