A few months ago I had a strange dream. It was not lucid but still quite interesting, at least to me.

I was traveling with a companion in a post-apocalyptic world. We were chasing UFOs, which I guess turned the whole world into blazing ruins. Eventually, we went around a small structure that was one of the few buildings still standing. On the other side, we saw a bright light and went toward it.

When we finally reached it, a young black child wearing tattered garments appeared. He announced to me, “You are dreaming.” I didn’t understand him even a little bit. It was as if I were a child myself.

He waved me over and informed me that he knew what I wanted, and added that he could give it to me. I am fairly certain I know what he was talking about but that is not important right now.

I followed his instructions and bent down toward him. He placed his hand on the left side of my face and suddenly I was paralyzed. I saw hazy, blue images appearing in front of my eyes. These images were transparent, so I could still see the child and the area around me. I saw war, death, and soldiers in the images presented. The child declared, “This is coming,” or something like that.

Then, my companion pushed me aside and demanded that the child give him the power he was granting me. The child said, “You are just a figment of his imagination. You are not worth my time.” In rage, the man tried to hit the youngster. Without even moving, the child stopped him in mid-strike, and then made him disappear. This was very interesting because I don’t even have those powers when I am lucid!

He turned toward me and informed me that the dream was ending. Then it did.

Now, I am not exactly sure what all of it meant, but could this child have been my dream guide?

Unfortunately, I have had a lot of trouble getting LDs since that dream. I would really like to talk to that child again too . . .
