Last Night’s Dream
I had a very vivid, long, and scary dream last night.
My dream of May 25-26 2011:
The dream starts with me trying to get home from somewhere (maybe camping, don’t really know/remember). I am driving a car and trying to make it to a hotel or something before closing time so I am driving really fast. A couple of times I drive off road but the experiences are luckily short until i am almost there. I am driving in pitch black since it is 9 something and forget that right before my destination the road takes a sharp left turn on a bridge. I overshoot, fly off the bridge, and start falling. It happens to be a fall that takes seconds so i am able to say my goodbyes. The fall is so long that I become impatient for the impact. Strangely enough the car slows at the last moment so I don’t have a fatal accident. I am able to walk away and my brother now enters my dream and helps me gather supplies from the car so we can walk to my original destination. When we get there, there is a buffet outside the doors along the wall. We decide to replenish our drinks which for me is orange juice. I pour my old juice under the table to fill up with new juice and then I realize that they actually provided a place to pour my old juice. At this point in the dream my brother and I are joined by my house-mate’s friend, Jake, when we decide to get home by going through the earth since it is a more direct route than across the surface. Luckily we only need to take a cord and not all the way through the center. My brother explains that there are caves we will be climbing through because of freezing or some nonsense (don’t really remember the crazy explanation). So we start climbing up a slope in side a cave and some normal shenanigans happen such as hats falling off and stopping to drink. We finally reach the top of a ridge inside the cave that we have to cross. The other side is fairly warm and wet. Jake decides to just jump/slide to the bottom where he comments that the slope was “steeper than expected”. My reaction is to say that I can’t go because I will die since I have used my luck already to survive the previous crashes and I will most likely stumble and break every bone in my body as i tumble down. At this point, the bottom changes from sloping rock to a pond with a rocky/gravelly shore. I then notice a crocodile on the shore headed for Jake. My mom is suddenly there and one of my families many exchange students is also in the water with Jake. The specific exchange student is not made clear. Jake starts swimming and somehow is able to stay out of reach of the lunging croc. He makes it on shore and tosses his life preserver at the croc an runs around to stay out of reach. The people on top of the ridge realize there is suddenly more than one croc and that one is hunting our exchange student who eventually gets eaten which is understandably horrifying (it is good that it wasn’t clear who it was). Jake at this point jumps back in the water for some reason and then a whole bunch of crocs start chasing him. At the last second, before he is eaten I able to force myself awake.
The End
Crazy dream! Thanks for sharing, though. Fun to read.
