Snip Snip

So I had some intimidating dreams last night, but the one I really remember is the one about the government euthanizing the public. I was on my college campus, walking up 33rd street, on the west side of the street, next to the volley ball courts towards arch st. There were a lot of people standing around, looking scared, or angry. There were cops and other law enforcement grabbing people and bringing them to this spot. I didnt know what was going on, and was starting to get scared, but I wanted to see what it was. On the sidewalk was a red plastic container, that stretched out along the sidewalk and around the block. It was a rectangle shape, like air ducting, but was big enough to lay a person down inside. Inside was a red conveyor belt. The police were grabbing students and stuffing them inside of this thing, and they would disappear. I was walking with my friend/frat bro D. We got too close and the cops grabbed him, stuffed him into the container and he started to disappear, at this moment i realized what they were doing. The bodies would stop at a certain point, the red container had a circular hole in it, and there were doctors euthanizing people. I saw this, and a wave a fear came over me. I jumped between the cop and the conveyor before they could grab me. As I am a fast runner, i managed to outrun the 2 cops chasing me, and went east down arch st toward 32nd st. Once I realized that they had stopped chasing me, I stopped running and looked back. Students were just standing around looking scared and helpless. I had thoughts of trying to rally people to stop them, but these people seemed hopeless.

A Funeral for the Living

Here I am again, calling myself out for not writing in a looong time. I have been dreaming significantly less over the past year, I'll have to research what that may mean, but my dream last night was quite vivid. So, in real life, there was a girl who died of meningitis in her sleep, 2 houses down from my fraternity house. I also recently read an article about a man who was pronounced dead, and almost 2 hours later, at the morticians, he came back to life. These two events make it obvious where my dream derived from. I was at a funeral, supposedly this girl's funeral, who died, but she looked older, a lot older, like a 60 year old woman. The room where the viewing/service was, was very dark, like a movie theater or music recording studio. Black walls, dark 80's styled vases and dark tropical flowers, like something out of beetle juice / tim burton movie. I took my turn at the viewing stand, I wasnt sure what to think, I didnt know the girl, and i wondered how diseased / contagious the body was, even in death. I paid my respects to this person i never knew, and stepped down. I was standing behind the line of people taking their turn viewing the body, laid down in it's black casket of cream white interior. The last people, 3 or 4 of them, were her closest friends, they decided to re-position the body, i think because they thought she looked uncomfortable (as if the dead would know the difference, but their care for their friend caused them to feel this way). Immediately after re-positioning her, she opened her eyes and said "Thank you", with a sigh of relief, and closed her eyes once again. In the same way a tired elderly person would thank you for helping them with something difficult. I felt the nerves in my body 'intensify', that feeling where it like your nerves are kicking into high gear, your scalp tightening, ready to for the fight or flight reaction. I turned to the small crowd seated behind me. All were speechless and in shock. I was saying to them "Did you just see that! She just spoke!" No one knew what to do, everyone just sat there in astonishment. While facing the crowd, i saw everyone's eyes widen, heard gasps, and some people jerk back in their seats. I turned around and the woman was dazed, half asleep, climbing out of her coffin. I decided it was time to get the fuck out of there, cuz that was some zombie shit. I ran out into this building, like the lobby of a corporate office building, dark tinted windows, cream studded marble floor, and took this glass-shaft elevator up. I kept thinking that I needed to be clever because the risen dead person, and maybe other would be after me. After that I dont really remember anything else.
