...and the dream constantly haunts me. It's as if my mind is stoking that dream for me--not wanting me to forget it.
I posted the dream in this forum today. I originally posted it in the religion/spirituality forum and steallanoir suggested that I post it in wickfordbard's dream thread. I did that, and I hope it's ok to post it here too.
I am beside myself--because what many of you are describing is what I dreamed. In my dream, whatever was dropped from the sky caused a large brightly lit flash. If I remember correctly, the thing that was dropped (which caused the flash) was cube shaped and it glided down toward the Earth.
Here is my dream posted again, if anyone is interested. :hi:
----------------------------------------------------------------- First off, the dream happened while I was asleep. However, it was different than a dream. It was incredibly vivid. I've had dreams where childhood memories surface, and the clarity of this dream was similar to those childhood-memory dreams.
In the dream, I was in a street and I watched a large aircraft (flat, black, looked like a military plane) fly overhead. I knew that we were in trouble. I saw a flash to my right and I instinctively knew that a bomb was dropped and that I had limited time to reach my children. I ran toward a fence, trying to get to them, then the dream ended.
Here's one thing I do not understand. For a few months, I kept trying to figure out where I was running. I was standing in my neighborhood, and I was puzzled about why I would run to this particular fence. I absolutely knew that it made sense, but the direction that I was running in seemed off. Last week, I was lying in bed, thinking about this--and it suddenly hit me. I was running toward my children's school--from our house. That was it!! It was like a puzzle piece moved into place, and my "mind" felt relieved that I figured it out. Does that make any sense at all?
Besides the context of the dream, I am fascinated that a part of my mind gave me this dream and it made perfect sense to that part of my mind. However, my conscious mind wasn't getting it---*I* wasn't getting it. In effect, there is a part of me that did get all of this--and my conscious had to be "taught" the answers. Again, am I making sense?
One last thing, after I had this dream I was incredibly emotional. I sat on the edge of my bed, trying to ground myself--when my five-year old comes into my room and says, "Mommy...I'm so upset, I had a bad dream. I dreamed that the whole world caught on fire and that the dinosaurs came back".
If anyone has any opinions, I'm all ears. Again, I'm glad to find this board and I'm excited to read the posts here and learn from all of you.
