nightmare

(Ocean City is a very narrow strip of land between Assawoman Bay and the Atlantic Ocean. It is a peninsula, surrounded on three sides by water.)

I am at the beach. It's a beautiful day, and I am walking on the beach. Everyone is happy and partying. I walk from place to place, meeting friends along the way. The ocean is calm with a little surf. I turn around and look towards the bay and see a giant tidal wave forming. I estimate it is about 20 stories high. It is moving quickly towards me. I am scared. The ocean is behind me so there is nowhere to run. I look at the building in front of me. It is a typical beach front house. I think to myself that there is no way this structure can protect me. However, I have no choice. I run up and stand with my back to the wall placing the building between me and the giant wave. I wait, cringing in terror...



The wave hits. A section of the wall next to me blasts open with water shooting out. Water is rushing everywhere, but I am ok.
I move out from the building and look back at the bay again. Another wave is forming. I am already in hip deep water. I decide to dive under the water this time, and let the wave wash over me. It works....

A third wave is forming. There are still structures to hide behind, but I am afraid this is it. I am dead. Suddenly, my hands appear in front of my face. I think, "Wait, this could be a dream!". My hands look normal...

"How can this be?". I then start to realize that this MUST be a dream. There are dream signs screaming at me. I look again. This time I notice my middle fingers are shorter than any of my other fingers! Yes! I am dreaming! Wake the hell up!
I awake, smiling. It was only a dream! (LOL)

Recall has been decent, although I cannot remember the entire dream. This one has a common theme: water. Seems like I dream about water a lot.

I am at the Baltimore Inner Harbor, or something similar. The water is clear, and under the water, I can see plants and people using remote control submarines. For some reason, there was a flood, and now water is everywhere.

None of this made any sense, but I awoke with a feeling of dread. I think there was more to the dream, and I just don't remember it all.

This dream has two recurring themes. I'm not sure why they didn't trigger an RC, except that I'm fairly new to inducing LDs and I don't think I've been doing enough (RCs and MILDing). I graduated from HS in 1983, and haven't seen my HS sweetheart in more than 15 years.

I am at my high school. There is a pep rally going on. Even though I know it's my high school, it has the layout of my daughter's grade school. For some reason, they won't let me in. I recognize two of the guys that won't let me in. They are big and bullies. I provoke them on purpose. I am in a bad mood, and sick of being bullied. I prompt them, and they don't respond. I don't ever get physical, but I do something that makes them mad. They give chase, and I stand my ground. "C'mon", I say, "let's go". They shrug their shoulders and walk away. I finally get in and see my ex-girlfriend. I try to get her attention, but she is with someone else. I am profoundly hurt. I try and try, but only manage to get the attention of her twin sister. She cannot help me. I spend the rest of the dream trying various ways to get her attention. Suddenly, the fire alarm goes off. Everyone is running. I run into the bullies again, but they don't try anything. We all start to leave the building. The rest is a blur.

This is a sort of recurring dream that I have. The subjects are different, but the theme is always betrayal. I attribute this to the fact that my ex-wife was cheating on me for at least a year before I finally had enough and left her.

I am in a hotel or dorm or some mass housing complex in an apartment that is supposed to be mine but I don't live in an apartment. It has several rooms and all them are painted white. I am living with my girlfriend (one from over 20 years ago) and she is hanging out with my best friend a little too much. As the dream progresses, I find them getting closer. I try to put a stop to it, but I cannot. They continue through the dream to get closer. Everytime I am looking for her (which seems to be all the dream is about), I find her with my friend. Finally, I start to get enraged. I through things around, fight with him, and her. I punch him, but he doesn't seem to care. I push her hard onto a bed, and immediately feel guilty. You're not supposed to strike a woman. I start to cry. I can't fix this. I feel lost and lonely. Dream fades.

I am on the ground picking up quarters that someone has dropped. There are hundreds of them. People are walking past me looking at me. I feel like I'm doing something bad, but I continue. I find a Silver Dollar, and pick that up. Dream fades..
