Where’s Joseph (yes, the Biblical OT character) when you need him.
POW
About a week after we came back from our pilgrimage, I had a weird dream where we were prisoners trying to escape from a highway, which was enclosed in a tunnel. I guess you could call it a tunnel, but there were rows of Gas stations beside us.
Anyways, at the end of the tunnel was a wall and a small door to freedom… but there was a helicopter that turns around to check every 5 seconds. And to get to the “border” (of freedom) takes about 20 seconds. So even if you start when the helicopter is facing the other way… it will see you, and fire a missile at you.
Strangely enough, these “missiles” are timed; before and when they’re fired. Taking into consideration the time it takes to sprint, obviously the math shows you can actually make it unscathed, but obviously in my dream I never even tried that.
What kept on happening was I show up outside of the door, run a little bit, notice the helicopter turn, run back – and the helicopter sees me, fires a missile (I’m inside the tunnel again by this time), missile lands… and waits a while (while I continue to run inside, further from it) explodes and affects the gas stations beside it. And then we have the domino-effect of gas stations blowing up and catching up with me – – I live; barely escaping the explosion(s).
Replenish gas stations… reset timers, and repeat excercise.
Oh and did I say that Mom was the helicopter pilot? She was trying to kill me!
Now all of this sounds absurd of course (the sheer settings and events in the dreams, but they’re dreams after all)
