"Two More Dreams"
1. A dream from a few months ago
I
was in an airplane, 747-style, and looked out my window to see a city
with fires breaking out everywhere and constant explosions. It
was a city my mind invented for the dream, but was understood to be
Denver, CO if I remember correctly. At that point the plane
started to descend. It wasn’t crashing, but the feeling I got was
that it was an unexpected, emergency landing and I was very fearful.
2. A dream from last night
I
was in a place, like a hospital, but was being kept there against my
will with a small group of others in the same situation. It isn’t
clear why we were there, but we weren’t sick and it was clear that
those keeping us there were evil. I and the others with me each
had some sort of weapon, like a gun, but different, and we had the
ability to use them, but whenever we took them out and held them, they
would vibrate and alarms would go off in the building and security
personnel would find us. So they were essentially useless.
We were trying to escape from this place and kept getting caught.
When we finally did get out, we were suddenly in some kind of an
underground volcano or cavern or something where there was a deep
trench with a river of lava at the bottom. Leading away from the
trench was a steep incline with thousands of people standing or
sitting, so that it resembled a sort of amphitheater. Some people
from the non-hospital caught up with me and were trying to throw me
into the river, but, in defense, I threw them in. Then a bunch of
the people on the hill decided to jump into the river. I was
shocked and didn’t understand why they would do that since they were
obviously killing themselves. One of my long-time friends was
there and he was about to jump in as well, but I stopped him from doing
so. That’s when I realized that all those people were in some
sort of trance and not completely in control of themselves. I got
to the very top of the incline, up to the “ceiling” of the cavernous
space, where there were other people I know and we looked down at
everyone still jumping over the cliff. We knew that we were safe
and that there was nothing we could do to help the others.
Homesick.
