10/31/15 Honesty and Courage put to the Test
Saturday 10/21/15 4:57am
I dreamed I
was having an argument with a man about whether or not I lie.
He was a
white man about 50, tall and he had several friends with him. I could tell they meant business.
He was like,
“Do you lie?” I thought about it and said, “no”.
We were
outside in a small yard. He said, “you
sure?”… then went on with a tirade about dishonesty. I said, “well maybe I shouldn’t have…” And he interrupted me saying, “see you are a
liar!” I clarified myself about a mistaken
belief I counted on which made something I said, untrue. But, it wasn’t my fault.
Feeling self-righteous
and indignant, I boldly explained, “I don’t freaking lie. I don’t have anything to hide!”
I feel like
I was trying out for some squad of soldiers… a band of brothers. I don’t know what their function was, though.
Then I tried
to show them I could fly like I can do in my dreams, but when I pulled on the
air with my bent-elbows I could onluy manage a hover of just a couple feet above
the ground.
Another
Dream tonight, I was at an outdoor gang party.
To start with, I didn’t feel confident being there.
Then someone
snatched me and pulled me to an area off to the side. I was hearing gunshots. And now I was getting scared. They were hazing some new guys and I realized
I was a new guy. If I wanted in I had to
go out into a clearing where I would be shot at. If I managed to get out there and not get
shot, I was in.
I started
looking for a way out. There was a
chainlink fence to my left about 10 foot high.
To my right was a black shed-like
structure. I would have to scale a wall,
run about 30 feet then jump over a fence. (I’d be shot before I mad it).
I think they
were Hispanic. They said, “you gotta do
it.” When I they saw me glance around to
find a way out and they said, “no no no.
You wanna die now? So, reluctantly I
decided to do it.
This dream scenario
became a bit familiar, so, I did as memory served me: I started angrly
stripping my clothes off. I was
attempting to show them that I was not scared.
I had on a white button-up shirt and black slacks and black loafers.
Then a kid
runs up behind me and I feel him tap me on the neck. He was a thin white kid of about 10
years.
As he passed
me he was kind of hopping saying like he had so much energy and if he didn’t
move he would burst. He said, “we gotta
make it even.” I realized he had a box
cutter in his hand, with the blade wide open, and that’s what he tapped my neck
with. I didn’t feel the slice in my
neck.
He tried to
swipe at my arm, but I was able to move aside to avoid it.
Then I stepped
toward the place I’d be shot at, and saw the shooter setup.
Two people
were behind a plywood wall each had a revolver (pistol) barrel poking from a small hole. The holes were too small for the shooter to
use the aiming mechanisms. They would be
simply pointing and shooting. I was
supposed to see where the barrels were pointing and move away from that
direction.
I said, “I
could get killed! Has anyone died doing this?”
Some one else said, “yeah, all the time.”
This is all
I remember of this dream.
