Energy weapon dream
I had a very vivid dream last autumn (2009). I keep running through it in my head, it was so clear.
It starts and I'm this woman standing on a beach. This is itself odd for me as I'm a bloke and I don't ever recall having a dream in first person where I'm not 'myself' before this. It was strange as I still felt like me - like she is me. I'm happily married and don't have any secret fantasies about being a woman etc before you ask
So anyway, she/I was in her late 20's I'd guess, with shortish dark curly hair, averagely attractive (these thoughts came to me as the dream started like I just knew them apart from the age which is a guess). As I said I was standing on the beach. It was like an English touristy beach, with a concrete sea front and those wooden barriers running towards the sea to keep the sand from drifting, if you know what I mean.
I turn my attention to this kid playing in the sand and smile. I know he's not my kid, I guess I'm just being broody? I enjoy watching him play for a short while then turn my attention to my right to look out to the sea. I suddenly see this vertical line of light in the distance extending from the sky down to the sea, I know immediately that its an energy weapon and any moment now we'll be hit by the blast wave!
I turn and run away. I know there's a changing room with showers not far behind me, I run there and get into the shower room and turn on the shower. I close my eyes and wait for the searing heat.
Needless to say I wake up at this point, and I remember feeling really guilty about the boy I'd abandoned to get vaporised. I kept running events through my head and thinking whether I could have saved the boy. I (and I mean me-me now not her-me) wonder why I didn't just get in the sea by maybe there was a good reason why not. I'm not sure if she/I survived.
All very strange! It was so vivid, like events were being rerun. I'd be inclined to wonder whether it was a past life but people didn't have energy weapons like this in the past... We still don't (right?).
