Re: Cackles Dream Journal
Last nights dream.
I was in a sort of jungle environment. There was a small community there and I had been brought in to investigate a number of disappearances. I assumed that the latest disappearance was my best bet for a decent start into how these people were going missing.
The last person that went missing was a young woman in her 20s. I had met with her family and they told me that their young son had gone out and taken it upon himself to find out what happened to his sister and that he had still not returned so he too was now missing.
I met with a local gang to see if I could get in tight with them as the community suspected them. I remember the leader of the gang had dark skin, long black hair and he wore a red bandana and he was wearing a black bandolier. I got to the point where the gangs leader almost started to trust me enough to let me into the gang.
I then got a phonecall from the missing girls missing brother. He was in a panic and was trying to explain that he witnessed the gang murdering and bothering his sister.
Just as he was telling me where to meet him, the gang leader snatched the phone out of my hand as he had become suspicious. Luckily the brother had hung up just in time. I went straight to the family of the missing girl to ask where he might want to meet. I then realised that I had members of the gang following me around everywhere I went.
This is where this dream takes a dramatic change of scenery...
I was walking up a flight of concrete steps amid a large group of people when the brother bumped square into me. I grabbed him by the arm and he suddenly realised who I was. We started running up the stairs as the gang members that was following us had realised that we had met and were now in pursuit.
At the top of the flight of steps opened up into a massive shopping mall.
We started trying to lose our pursuers by entering shops and trying to be unpredictable in our movements by doubling back on ourselves when we were just out of sight. But they knew our every move.
We were now at full sprint and the entire gang was chasing us. This went on for ages, running around the mall trying to lose them ducking into shops and doorways.
The mall was designed in a sort of spiral so you could walk from the bottom to the very top without elevators or escalators.
We started to mix it up a bit and started taking to the doors in the back of the shops and coming out in other shops. Then we tried taking fire exits.
On one occasion we came out into a carpark and hid behind a black car.
I thought they would assume that we would carry on running so we stopped and hid. Until they started slowly walking through the carpark looking for us. Our backs were to a wall and to the left was another wall so we were completely trapped.
There was about 5-6 gang members walking to the right. ALMOST going to miss us and we would then be behind them and ready to run again. But one of them decided to check behind the car. I quickly hit him in the jaw, knocked him down, grabbed him by the trachia and put a hand over his mouth. I wasn't tryjngbto kill him, just have him pass out so we could sneak away quietly. Just as a woman came out a door to our left and screamed as she witnessed me trying to choke a half unconscious man.
So we got up and ran towards her open door.
We started taking fire exits this time and finally lost them for a brief moment and came across something new that I have apparently invented last night in this dream. Although I daresay it wouldn't be all that effective or any use whatsoever
A fire lookout lift. It's a lift that fits one person. It goes down a level and hangs below so that the person inside can tell the people above if a fire has destroyed the stairs or any other escape route. Once a person is locked inside, they have their own air supply and it cannot be opened except by emergency services. So I put the bother in their and phoned the police informing them that a murder witness was inside. That's when my alarm woke me up
I noticed after I woke up that this wasn't your typical "chase dream" where your legs grow heavy and won't move or sink into the floor. I think this is the only chase dream I've had where I can (in search of a better phrase) haul ass!
Empty your mind, be formless, shapeless, like water. You put water into a cup, it becomes the cup, you put water into a bottle, it becomes the bottle, you put it in a teapot it becomes the teapot. Now water can flow or it can crash. Be water my friend
