The City Dreams

I'm not going to share the dreams entirely. They were very intense. In both dreams I was watching, as if watching a movie.

In the first one Nik and I were traveling to somewhere, we knew where in the dream but I as a watcher didn't know. We had the blazer but were camping out in an abandoned building. We were getting ready to light a fire when a man appeared out of the darkness. he wanted my flashlight so I gave it to him but then he became more dangerous. Things happened and he died. In the process he dropped my flashlight which was pointed toward Nik and I. I flashed on a small spotlight and we could see beings coming out of the darkness. they were taking the dead man away. I saw them fully in the spotlight but later couldn't recall exactly how they looked. I knew they weren't there for us but we were afraid and grabbed our stuff to leave. I woke

.....

The second dream, last night, I was watching again. Nik and I were in the abandoned city. I knew it had been where we were traveling to in the last dream. There were other people there too, small groups like a father and toddler daughter, two teenage sisters, an elder couple, two men who were mates. I knew there were others as well and I knew some would mean to harm. The other people thought it was some sort of game, maybe like Survivor, but Nik and I knew it was not. I also knew we could not, or would not be allowed to, leave the city.

We followed some signs and arrived in a large room where there were piles on things for each of us. Clothing, backpacks, bags ... I realized that our pile was our things from the blazer and I was so angry that anyone had touched our stuff. But soon I was thankful to have our stuff with us. At least what we needed.

I tried to get everyone to stay together but since they thought it was a game they all split off to find some treasure or something. Nik and I went exploring to see what we could use and to find food and water.

time elapsed as it does in dreams and it seemed like we had been there for a few days. We came to a room and found the father and toddler daughter with a doctor. The doctor was preparing to give the little girl a shot. he was saying she wouldn't survive without it. I felt like something was very wrong and started asking him questions about the injection. I ask him how it was supposed to be given. He said you just stick the needle into the meat of her arm and inject it. I asked if that was subcutaneous and he said "yea, just stick in and inject". I knocked the needle from his hand and grabbed the child. I tried to read the vial he was going to give but couldn't. There were fridge shelves of all sorts of vials, I looked through and took all the ones I knew. We left the fake doctor there and took the father and girl with us.

days past and we came upon a huge shower room. Like a prison shower but very clean, very white and sterile. We each prepared to take our turns and have showers. I went first but just as I was dressing several people burst in wearing military clothes. 5 or 6 of them. They said I had to go with them peacefully or they would kill the others. I told Nik as much in sign language and went with them.

They were some sort of militant group, maybe 20 total. there were about 7 wounded. They seem to think i was a doctor but I told them i wasn't. A woman was in charge of these people and she was not a nice person. I began tending to the wounded as best i could, i realized they had been wounded trying to leave the city. I started asking them about what happened and then I woke.

On waking I was disappointed about a few things, one being that I knew Nik would meet his future wife there and I was looking forward to meeting her too.
