"My Walmart Dream"


http://www.fivedoves.com/letters/dec2012/anonymous1215.htm

Dear John,
I had you post this for me in December 2012.  Over the years I have had terrible feelings whenever I have had to go into WalMart.  I think my family thinks I am goofy because every time I have had to go to WalMart  I remind them of this dream.  It left a lasting impression on me.  I have never forgotten it.  I have tried to avoid going into our WalMart, but since some of my family's prescriptions are there, I have to go in to get them.  It REALLY gives me a foreboding feeling everytime I enter the store. I can't stress this enough.

With the virus outbreak our WalMart has regulated customers going into the store.  The last time I went to pick up a prescription, a couple of weeks ago, I went during the early morning "old people" hours.  It was very strange. People were pushy and the food aisles were jammed.  As in other posts I have seen, many shelves were empty of product. Many products had limits on what you could buy.

Then today, April 3, 2020 our Local news station and the local paper ran stories that said as of Saturday, April 4, there would be a limit of only 5 people in the store at a time. Our store is a super center.  There was a picture with a firetruck parked out in front blocking the entrance.  Large barrels and yellow tape ran the length of the front of the store.  I assume (don't know this for certain) that there are some type of officers who will enforce this.  The article said that there will be single one way aisles taped off throughout the store (this is the way it was in my dream). You can only go in one direction, even if you forget something.  People will only be allowed to enter (one by one) as someone else exits the store.

Our local WalMart is always packed with people.  It is basically the only place to shop in the county.  There are a few local groceries but WalMart is the place to shop for clothing, pharmacy items, etc.  I can't imagine how this is going to affect people.  With everyone having to stand 6' apart, I can't even image the length of a line to get into the store.

My dream haunts my thoughts.  It is always in the back of my mind.  I KNOW it was a warning of the days we are living in.  With the talk of making a vaccine mandatory, I am at a loss for words.

Please would you repost the link of my previous dream along with this post.  I leave it up to you whether you wish to leave this anonymous or use my name.
