"I was in a church, large, cathedral structure and in was in the vestry preparing to serve as the Thurifer at the service. I was no longer in thd first year of formation I was in 2nd year and was helping the new person. I forgot about myself and lost track f time which meant I was behind. I couldn’t find my shoes to wear them in thd procession so decided to go barefoot. Then everyone was trying fo find my Shoes. I had to light the thurible for the service but I couldn’t get the thurible untangled. I lit the incense block and as soon as it was alight and I had smoke it would disappear. I then ditched the older style thurible gif a weird board version that had spare incense on it so I could continually light incense as we walked and have smoke. I couldn’t get the right amount of smoke. My board thurible kept collapsing. I was so focussed on my duties that I didn’t notice I had separated off from the main procession. However I was ok, I knew where I was going and I finally had smoke. But my two fellow formation students insisted I come back to the procession queue they were in which I did. I didn’t solve the smoke problem and every time I swing thd thiribld board it would collapse and fold up. "

I met this lady and she helped me but then she fell and I saw that there was a nail going through her foot, but she only had two toes to it missed. I have a fear about ppl with missing limbs so I ran, and as I ran I kept sinking."
