An Extremely vivid non-lucid dream. A lot of the weird side.
I found myself in front of a local liquor store. It is where I purchase all of my wine, because unlike other states, ours does not allow wine sales in grocery stores. I don't know why I was there, but Paperdoll was there with me. I believe we were talking about dreaming or some such thing.
My wife drove up and got out of her car. She was furious, I never really found out why. It could have been because she thought I was having an affair with her, or because I said or did something that she misinterpreted and thought I was being cruel.
Anyway, after some amount of yelling and trying my best to get her to realize that I had done nothing wrong and that if I did hurt her, it was unintentional, I had finally had enough.
"Fine!", I yelled. "I give up!"
I then turned and began to run. I was running south down a small two lane state highway.
"I've had enough of this life" I thought to myself. "I'm going to run until I die from a heart attack!"
I increased my pace and my breathing and heart rate increased. At one point, I found myself frantically trying to climb a bank beside the road. It was grass covered, but steep. My legs pumped frantically and I dug my fingers into the ground attempting to climb the hill. My fingers became bloody, my breathing was fast, my heart felt like it would explode at any moment. This only motivated me to try harder.
I reached the crest of the hill and turned back into the road. I noticed to my right, a parking lot. I guess by this time, I had sprinted for about 3 miles. A presence was calling me into the parking lot. I could see nobody, but knew a being was calling me in. There was a small customs building with a sign, "Welcome to Canada!"
I noticed that it was mostly empty except for a few trucks. I quickly sprinted to the back of the lot. The further I went, the calmer I became.
Suddenly, I found myself running through a strange pink landscape. It still looked like a parking lot, but it was warm and slippery. (yes, in that way!). I was running through a viscous, slippery fluid, but it was so soothing and relaxing. I was in no distress and if I was breathing, it was effortless. A great sense of peace enveloped me as I kept going. My breathing had returned to normal, my heart rate was normal.
I noticed on the ground were sharp structures. Imagine the cutting blades on a disposable razor, six feet long and 1one food wide with the blades facing up to cut a careless traveler. My guide, I'll call the being that now, told me to go deeper into the place.
I do not remember how long I traveled, but at one point, my guide stopped me. He said "Stop, you have already traversed one hundred years, go no further or you might not return". Of course I stopped and turned around.
Way off in the distance, I could see the entrance, it was way off. I noticed that the razor like structures were no longer present.
"It is time for you to return" my guide told me.
I slowly began to float toward the entrance. As I did, I watched the landscape on the other side of the entrance. During my journey, time rewound for 100 years. I could see large trees becoming smaller and smaller until they returned to seed.
When I reached the entrance, I woke up. I had such a profound sense of peace that followed me all morning.
