I love to read about other people’s dreams. There is so much that can be learned by thinking about such things. Here is one of mine that has stuck out.

One of my dreams that I can not forget, no matter how hard I try. 

I was carrying around a camera, in a mall type of building.  There were people everywhere.  I had two of the most feminine looking (they were angelic I tell you) young men with me.  They were very young looking  about 18 or so I guess.  They were my assistants.  They knew they were naked but I did not seem to notice.  Maybe I was naked too, I do not know.  If I was we were the only three that were. 

I was taking pictures of all kinds of ” beautiful ” people.  I would point at someone and my boys would go get them and talk them into letting me take their picture.  Most of my subjects were easily convinced.  The boys would feed their ego and I would their picture.  As I looked at the pictures on the preview screen of the camera, it would be a wonderful picture, perfect photography.

The people would now be on the ground, dead.  There were whole families in piles on the ground everywhere.   My pictures were killing them and I went on with a smile on my face.  After all it was my job.  I killed thousands of people that day and somehow I “knew” that I was doing the world a favor because they were bad people, some were smacking on their kids, a couple were stealing.  I just kept smiling and taking pictures.

This dream has had me confused, disturbed and (I hate to admit) a bit amused for some time now.  You know how it is in a dream, you just know some things with out having to be told.  That is how this was.  I do not know how I know it was my job, it was just the feeling I had in the dream.

    somewhat weird and strange enough, but we Filipinos do have this saying about dreams, the outcome will the opposite of what you have dream of. Just do said a prayer before you went to bed. OK.

    You are lucky to have such vivid crazy dreams…

    some believe that dreaming is more real then when one is awake. i think its a more creative way of recharging batteries

    I could see myself enjoying a dream like that. I like having interesting dreams. They sometimes give me ideas for stories and poems.

    Strange how I am watching Dead Like Me when I found this.

    Take Care, DreamSweet and let Your Heart Shine!
