strange dreams...
No sex dreams or anything (sorry to disappoint). But the dreams have been very real and cinematic. I know those don't tend to go together that often. They're the kind of dreams I used to have back when I was a wide-eyed film geek where stories would just come to me in dreams. But lately these have all been action/drama films and sadly I always wake up unable to handle the emotional contingent of the dream or perhaps the building up of fear is too much.
This morning I dreamed there were a bunch of military troops coming after 'me'. Now 'me' consisted of a middle-aged (but in good shape) father, his buddies (i think, it's somewhat fading), and his 15-ish daughter (maybe a little younger). The troops are spotted before they enter the building and everyone flees. Cut to a scene where apparently the father buries the (alive) daughter in a bunch of foresty soil to hide her heat signature from the troops using infrared cameras. Meanwhile his buddies are burying themselves, and he manages to struggle to get himself buried just before the troops come up on them. Then it was like an overhead map which showed Xs and Os as the locations of people buried and everyone gets found and killed but the father and daughter.
The troops move on to look for the father and daughter thinking them somewhere else. Dad and kid get up and run off to a house nearby which seems to be the house of the father's mistress. As the father begins to explain what's going on, the mistress tells them to jump out the window (she sees the troops closing on her house). The daughter tumbles out the window (it wasn't too high) and starts to run. No sound of the father nearby. And that's when I woke up.
Sometimes I try to drift back to sleep or finish my dream but I was just so worked up (almost fearful myself) that I couldn't manage it. I know this probably has subconscious implications about myself and my family but that's not why I wrote it. Damn wierd dream. Does anyone know if the burying yourself in soil thing would work? I don't think so but I don't really know where my mind got that kind of thing. Anyway... I'm off.
