Maybe "White seemed to be..." should be a seperate sentence?

a sensitive moment.

downstairs. 

Suddenly, everything around them began to crash and burn....

Interesting that Akane's and Ranma's dreams had so many common
elements. Maybe they're developing a kind of subconscious link. If so,
it's bad for our little pig friend.

<Whoa.> Ranma thought to himself as he lay there in bed.  Things were starting to
come back to him.  The blast, where had it come from, and why?  The ceiling had
caved in on top of them, but for the life of him he couldn't piece it together. 
Well, of course not! He's not trained in ceiling repair! (heh)

His head was bandaged, and he had inumerous wires and tubes running from him. 
I think you mean "numerous".
Finally, someone would be able to answer his questions.  A nurse walked in to check
on him, seeming somewhat startled to see him awake.

The school bell rang, dismissing the students for the day.  As all days go at
Furinkan, it was expected that Kunou Tatewaki would try once more to win the
affections of the "pig-tailed goddess" and Tendo Akane from that vile sorceror
I believe "sorcerer" is the correct spelling.

At least these were in the inner workings of Kunou's mind anyway. 
those were

"You JERK!  How could you let Ukyou just hang all over you like that? Right in
front of the entire school?"  Akane was already glowing a light blue, this was a
pretty fast manifestation.  If one didn't know better, you'd think she actually
Either "you" should be "one", or "one" should be "you", so that they
match, if you know what I mean.

that he could do nothing about it, except change his facial colour to something

"I dunno, I haven't found the right time."  The object Ranma has been fidgeting
with now moves out of Ranma's pocket into his hand, just in view of Ranma and

"Tendo Nabiki, how is it that you go and place your hand in that cur Saotome's
pants?"
Hmmm... assuming that this is Nabiki's dream, what is her subconscious
saying to her here? ;-)

Well, that's all for part 3.  Have you caught what has actually happened, and what

Nah, she can do better.

It's getting very interesting. Soon we'll see the characters wake up
and try to deal with all the things their subconscious minds have been
trying to tell them.

I wouldn't want to work in that hospital, though, when all of Ranma's
friends find out where he is. I'm surprised they haven't trashed the
