I had a dream that I was a caretaker for four royal children, and I was helping get them ready for a big banquet or something, and in the middle of the huge proceedings someone stabbed the king and shot the queen and I had to try to get all the kids out of the castle before everyone could kill them too. And I think we were in France, or at least some French speaking country, and everyone was nasty, and the kids were all crying and didn't want to leave, and I didn't have enough supplies to feed them or any place where we could stay... it was terrible. At one point I was trying to pack a duffel bag with a change of clothes for each of us, and an archer came into my room and shot arrows at me until he got one in my leg and then laughed and went away.

And then I had to try to sneak them all out of the castle and the only person who was helpful at all was some nerdy security guard who kept calling me "miss" and couldn't disable the alarms.

I don't like dreams that feel so futile. Or dreams in which I get injured. Or dreams about babysitting.
