Strange Dream



Last night I had the most vivid and strangest dream that I can recall.

I usually do not share my dreams because I so often don't remember them, and I usually don't like the interpretations that others assign to them...anyway for what it is worth, here it is:

I had driven to an office and was waiting in the waiting room. I was given a large manila envelope, which I was to deliver to someone. I drove to either a car dealership or the offices of a home builder/contractor where I delivered my envelope, and was given another, fatter one to return.

I drove back to the original place, and delivered the second envelope, then I was given a third envelope to deliver to yet another location, but on the outside of that envelope, there were instructions which said I wasn't to deliver it until tomorrow.

 As I was waiting in the waiting room, I watched the people who were coming and going. At one point, a door to an inner office opened and out walked a beautiful woman. She looked a little disheveled and rumpled, as though she had just been making love to someone. As she walked out I could see inside, and there was an attractive man sitting in a chair. He also looked as though he had been fooling around. They seemed like they fit together.

People were coming and going, with more going outside than coming in. I walked out and was standing at the edge of a large field of green grass. On the far side, I saw many of the people that I had seen in the office. They appeared to be playing a game or exercising, but in a most unorganized manner. One person would do something, like jump up and down or run a bit, and several people would follow those moves, then one of the followers would do something different and several people would follow that person. The net effect was that everyone was getting some exercise, but in a highly disorganized way, except that there seemed to be rules that everyone understood.

It looked like fun, and I figured I could use the exercise, so I joined in. I followed for a while, and then I began to do my own thing. I was spinning around, but I had metal weights in each hand. The weights had edges sharp enough to hurt someone if they got too close, and I was careful to stay away from anyone I might injure.

I stopped spinning, and discovered that I had the ability to lean at impossible angles. I could lean back, with my heels touching the ground, my body straight and the back of my head only inches from the ground. Someone came over and asked me how I could do that. I explained that it was easy, that anyone could do it if they just put their mind to it.

I also told them that by concentrating, I could leap into the air and stay up an incredibly long time. To demonstrate, I leapt across the field, and just floated in slow motion, defying gravity. The field transformed into a very large empty room, like a gym with high ceilings. I was able to fly through the room, above the heads of the other people. I wanted to encourage them to fly too, but I was so amazed at being able to fly, I was speechless.

I awakened briefly, and when I fell asleep again, I was in an operating room where an abortion was being performed. The doctor removed the child from inside the mother, still attached by the umbilical cord. This was not a fetus, but a very small baby. The child's eyes were open and from where I was standing, I could see one blue eye. The doctor prepared to cut the cord with a pair of shears. I wanted to cry out 'Stop!', but I couldn't. Then, with a single snip. it was done. I was sad.
