In the dream I am in a strange town, on a vacation. My awareness keeps shifting, and I realize that we are in danger. Sometimes I seem to be vacationing with a group of women. IN that setting especially, things seem off or wrong, as we gradually notice that there are fewer and fewer people. The atmosphere is oppressive, and suddenly it seems the officials are becoming more numerous, and are trying to control everyone. There is a feeling of martial law.
Other times I am with my husband, and trying to explain what is going on when I am with the women in that town, about how weird the town is, but he doesn’t understand. On waking I realize that in his perception I have only been with him the whole time, and there are no other females. The time and setting varys a little. When I am with the other females it is the seventies, the cars the buildings and the general feel of the place dictate it can’t be much past 1980, but when I am with him it is a very modern setting. It seems to be the same town about 25 or 30 years later. Buildings are different, so I get confused trying to map the place.
In another level another woman and myself are being chased by a knight on horseback in a little antique village setting. In that world I am wearing a long white flowing nightgown type thing. I get separated from my friend, and I am trying to lure him away from her, and then double back without being seen. IN that world at least I seem to have the ability to map or mentally see an overview, so that I know where I am going. In that world, my friend is Del of this site. Gary is a white knight who is supposed to be coming to rescue me, but he is still far away, and I have to keep us safe till he gets there.
I suddenly become aware of another setting that also overlaps. I am in some sort of institution, or hospital, or prison, and I have a metal guard over my mouth. I can’t get it off and it is slightly uncomfortable. It looks like part of a suit of armor helm, but just the lower part of the face, and it seems to be firmly attached to my face and I don’t know how to get it off. I am only aware of it after I look in the mirror. I don’t know how it got there, but I can’t get it off. It seems to interfere with my speech a little. I am obviously a prisoner there, but they try to make it seem I am not being guarded even though I am. I’d say level of security is about like an old folks home, or minimum security mental hospital. I can go outside, but I am not allowed to leave. The atmosphere there is very condescending, and they explain everything as if I am a child. Apparently I am impaired in some way, because I don’t understand, and can’t hear half of what they say anyway, but I don’t like their tone. I think my mother, and or my husband brought me there, but I am not sure.
I am aware of more than one level to things. ON one level you have a 1970’s world with an increasing number of police cars and snoopy motel managers who seem to be taking notice of our every move. ON another level I am with my husband current time, having a normal vacation, except I sense danger, and he doesn’t. On another level I am in some dark ages setting with Del, trying to evade the black knight till Gary, my white knight comes to rescue me. In another world I am in some mad house. This world seems like the sixties, despite the fact I am wearing part of a suit of armor.
In the part of the dream with the other females we are desperate to leave town, and trying to gather our stuff up without being obvious, then we try to get to our red car. We can’t leave town, and we are very paranoid. The feel of that place is like a cross between the movies silent hill, and red dawn. We finally get to the car, but all of a sudden my awareness shifts to being in the car with my husband. I am in a panic, and in the mind frame of wanting to leave town. He gets cranky and we argue about things. I just want to leave, but he ignores that completely. He says he is hungry! Where do you want to eat? He takes the fact that I don’t want to stop to mean I am not hungry and doesn’t order me any food. He goes into McDonalds and orders a Fish Sandwich for himself. He is complaining it isn’t what he wants, and I made him order something he didn’t want. I am so starved the fish sandwich looks wonderful, and I know he isn’t going to share. I also notice it is bigger than a fish sandwich at McDonalds usually is. I want one, but he is obviously mad at me and I am afraid to ask. I keep telling him we need to get out of town, but he doesn’t understand. When I am with him, the other women aren’t present, but I don’t realize that one is another world, and I keep telling him about it. All the other women eventually understand the need to leave, but he doesn’t get it.
When I am with him there are crowds of people, and we have to wait in line for everything, just like a normal tourist town, but when I am with the other women, we are in a shrinking population, and there are Gestapo feeling cops everywhere. People are watching us, and telling us not to leave, and we are trying to sneak out. I normally see other worlds, but this one is so close to the real one I get confused, and think it is the same one. My husband is angry and frustrated with my Paranoia when we are supposed to be having fun.
All these different things are occurring simultaneously, and in the dream I am becoming frustrated because the only thing all of the worlds have in common is that I can’t leave, and I feel trapped. In all the worlds people are treating me with suspicion, watching me, not letting me out of their site. I have no allies except for the other women in the one world, and one other woman in the world with the Knights. My husband is trying to be an ally but he doesn’t understand and thinks I am acting strange. He doesn’t understand why I am so paranoid, and he’s not listening to me at all. In a sense he is the only person in that dream and he is both my companion, and my jailor.
