It starts out with me and my current girlfriend inside a subway tunnel. The tunnel is very old and very run-down looking. It's covered with spider webs, there are broken bits of train tracks, and pieces of bricks all lying around. It looks like it hasn't been used in over a hundred years or something. It's all lit in a really strange yellow tint too, except there are no lights on and no torches on the wall or anything. Well my girlfriend and I are walking through the tunnel and she keeps saying "she's not here" and I keep telling her "but I know she is". It's then that I'm aware I'm looking for my daughter from a previous relationship (now in real life I don't have a daughter period, let alone from a previous relationship). No one says this information, who I'm looking for, but it's just known.
All of a sudden a train comes along the track behind us so we move out of the way. I live in Philadelphia and it looks like one of the SEPTA trains I take to work every day. We watch it go down the tunnel and then we hop on a pair of bicycles (don't know where they came from). We're riding as fast as we can down the tracks after the train, and my girlfriend keeps telling me it's not worth it. I also have no idea how we're riding so smoothly along the tracks, but hey, we are.
We catch up to the train. It's stopped. There's a brick wall in front of it inside the tunnel, but the train didn't crash into it, it just stopped in front of it. The brick wall isn't the end of the tunnel either, you can see over it and beyond. The lights are still on in the train, but no one is inside it. There are also a pair of old brick stairs going up to the top of the brick wall and on top of the wall there is a well. We climb the stairs and I look inside the well, and there's just some silvery liquid in it. I tell my girlfriend that "I know she's in here" and that's when she says "But your daughter's dead, this is just a dream" or something like that. I tell her "I know it's a dream, but she's alive in here." I take out a locket or a necklace or something, I'm not quite sure what it is and I lower it into the liquid and it disappears, and inside the well (it's only a couple feet deep) is my daughter, alive and well, curled up in a fetal position. She's about 8 or 9 years old and has brown hair, she looks up at me, I can see her face, and then I wake up.
It sounds kind of dumb I bet, but it's really been haunting me over the past few days, I can't shake it. I tried looking things up on what it could mean but I come up with nothing. I've tried figuring things out with my personal life too. Why does my girlfriend keep telling me to give up? In real life she's the most supportive person I know, and always tells me to pursue whatever I want, regardless of what others say. And the bit about us mentioning it's all a dream, is that a lucid dream? I've had a couple other dreams where I know I'm dreaming (not many...one involving Howie Mandel and potato sack races inside a mall, and one involving me inside a big dome with tunnels going to different places in the world, but that's it). Could she have possibly been my dream guide if there is such a thing? Not necessairily telling me not to do it, but in a way, pushing me to? I have no idea, I'm completely lost, and sorry this is so long, especially for a newbie. Thanks so much if you read all this too!!
