I had one of the most intense and scary dreams I have ever had in my life last-night…as soon as I woke I thought it must have been morning but I had only been asleep for less than 90 minutes, I felt exhilarated yet scared all the same, I tried to write down what I had dreamt…this is what I wrote (I haven’t a clue what any of it means??!):-

Come out of the edge of darkness, I am at work…my first nightshift. Working okay. In bed trying to watch a Brazilian football match, look over to a work colleague he said something(?) look back no Brazilian football match where’s the football, there’s a shrug of shoulders. Step out, anymore work I am thinking? Mental head never seen before, looked like an electrician…electricians everywhere, telegraph poles everywhere underground??…person says ‘wasted tonight, this is mental what has he done’ another says in answer ‘allsorts’, I feel scared of these new faces I’m thinking ‘whats going to happen?’. I walk past a works colleague who I know ‘hello’ I say, he doesn’t acknowledge me, he becomes distracted…he sprints to a bloke, ‘he’s fallen off’ he says. ‘I thought you had fallen off’ he shouts he goes to help, other colleagues I have not seen before approach. I looked at the injured he looks ok but very high, ‘I broke my leg this time’ he says grinning manically almost proud, he’s in a room…he shakes his ankle it is broken and he is shaking it. I shriek and sprint away scared, I sprint past people they ask me what’s up ‘he’s broke his leg’ I say ‘not another one’ they say totally without emotion as if it was ‘as a matter of fact’. I legged it a bit further I glance in to a room loads of other people have broken arms, legs and worse…amputations in progress.

In my place of work dark underground I start taking the boxes in, they keep piling up outside, more and more, I work faster and faster try to keep up I am, I enjoy it…annoyed of the work but its there and I keep up. Something outside I am holding a torch, something is coming in my direction, I am on the edge of darkness…I sprint away in a total daze, very light headed, I don’t know what’s going on. I come around it is the early hours, see an old friend he’s like my guardian angel I feel safe. I see a fete (bouncy castle and stalls that sell marmalade) and a hotel…everybody I see I know but I do not know their names. I go in to the hotel looking for a short cut to get underground…around and around, over and over to get underground faster I feel intense that I need get there. ‘this girl fancies you’ says my old friend…all these strangers saying hi, they knew me!!! I don’t think I knew them(?) maybe. ‘I am at work’ ‘no you’re not you’re in **** (a place name, a local town about 5 miles from where I live).

I sprinted, went in to the hotel – made even more of a scene this time hurdling tables and chairs ‘guests’ where did they come from?! I am not at work I go down, the gate is locked I can’t get in, there’s a basket outside the gate. I ask my friend what the time is he says a time to me, I don’t know what time but I should be at work and here I am in **** (local town same one as above), I must get back.

Go down a hill as everybody leaves not thinking straight, people look at me mysteriously…suddenly all is quiet I’m all alone in a housing estate rows and rows of houses…I must get away from this place…scared intense…go one way then next fake to go in the opposite direction…who am I running from- more intense still must get away…railway crossing across road everything’s clear I can visualize everything, wide rail ways more than one track three…I can see a train as I approach it is coming from the right a smoking locomotive, I can’t slow down I am approaching the crossing from above, I swerve to the right hoping to miss it, my feet hit the first tracks before the train I get an electrical buzzing sensation wow I thought...I am stood on the track I jump off the track look to my right and see a stranger on railway track coming towards me….am I trapped?????!!!!

And then I woke up my heart was pounding and I felt exhilarated and rather strange for a half hour afterwards.

I think the important thing in this dream is the emotions you were feeling, the times you felt frightened and the time you felt safe. Maybe you should think about the events in the dream that made you feel these emotions, and what those events could represent to you in real life. That would have to do with your personal experiences, so it's something you'd have to figure out yourself

thank you for the feedback marcia and maljonic, yeah to be true i think iknow exactly what you are saying, i was just a little bit shocked by the forcefullness of the dream i had...i never knew i had a 'spiritual' side...instead of just being your 'run of the mill' deep thinker i'm a spiritual one now, ot as sceptical any more.

great site maljonic, i found your dreams dictionary very helpfull.
thanks again M+M.

I'm actually a skeptical person. I didn't say anything unreasonable or difficult to believe.
