It begins with me traveling down a familiar road, one that I move down very often, and as I travel further down the road and the landscape and buildings around it become narrower and eventually disappear into just a road I was traveling on. Now the road isn’t rough and sandy like asphalt but it’s smooth and almost slippery, I knew that I’ve been here before and I didn’t want to continue to the house at the end of the trail. The background around the trail was nothing but swirling light colors, very faint, as I turn my attention to the house (which was not really a house but it looked like a grinning face) I’m now with a family, I recognize the family as mine but younger and I was there too at the same age as the last time I’ve visited this place in my dreams. They were all aware of my presence and treated me as a part of the family, I told them I didn’t wish to go in, for them to go in either. Next thing I know we’re at the door of the face and it opens, revealing a man of questionable existence but I knew who he was and he knew who I was. After standing in silence and my young father trying to start a loud male conversation, the man asked us if we’d like to come in and I try to take a step back but it’s as if a wind kept my leg from moving. He opens the door and a bitter cold breeze flows past me and the younger version of me. Past the open door a hallway, a white one but a white of considerable whiteness lined with surreal paintings of nothing in different colors. By the time I got a good look at the man’s face we’re in a room, a room filled with tunnels and little doors and one window with a view of whatever is being manifested outside. One thing leads to another and it’s obvious that my father’s incessant talking is annoying the man with questionable existence. All at once my father dropped to the floor, the light in and out of his eyes, started to speak in tongues and convulse. I told my mother and myself to leave immediately while they still can, my mother left but my little self stayed and handed something green to the man and said something to him that got him very upset (this all happened in the last time I was there) and tried to reach and hurt her, I scramble across the room and hold him back while I escape (which was all extremely familiar, this all happened in my old dream, a strange woman held him back so I could escape) my smaller self grabbed my father by the arm and left, she said something but I couldn’t hear her. The young family back to safety I still had to hold him back which was becoming much, much more difficult. My ears felt like they were filled with water and my stomach lurched but I still held on to him. The man shrunk into an oval shaped malleable thing and was starting to pull away I found it to be easier to hold him down while pressing him into whatever I was sitting on between my legs. A short lived success, the man wasn’t pulling as hard now so I looked down and noticed red tentacle type things coming out from inside me. They all had faces and were screaming at me like banshees, and I felt them, as if there were nothing in my body except for screaming red tentacles, my organs were extremely constricted and I got frightened and let go of the man. He rematerialized to his original state and cracked his neck and walked towards me. I asked him his name and his reply was “I don’t need a name, I know who I am. Do you know who you are?” I woke up briefly after he said that and checked the time, about 2 minutes since I went to sleep. I wanted to finish this dream so I went back to sleep I returned to the dream but I felt as if I had missed something, as if the dream went on while I was awake, I was searching for something. Looking through the little doors and tunnels. I remember looking through one which curved upwards into my aunts house which I haven’t visited for years and years, in fact I believe that’s where I had the first dream about this place. I didn’t know if I could fit in the tunnel but I tried, as soon as my whole body was in the tunnel (a smooth white tunnel) it began to constrict around me. I woke up again, then returned to sleep. When I came back, I thought this was a different dream, I wouldn’t be able to see the man again whom I feel a very strong connection to now. Now I was exiting what seemed to be a party with 3 or 4 other people who I spend a lot of time with, they were all very intoxicated except for me, the drugs seemed to have no effect on me whatsoever. One of the people went to an ATM and proceeded to take out money, as soon as she was finished with that a car pulled up, I knew it was a law enforcement car but it was unmarked and so were the two people in it. My friends all ran away or faded away, who knows. A thin, average sized black woman came out of the car and walked briskly toward me and pushed me into the car. “Was that force really necessary, I’m not even-“ I stopped speaking when I saw who the driver was, it’s the man with questionable existence. I felt driven to touch him, I started to caress his face and I put my arm around the woman. We were driving back to the grinning face house. The scene changed to the hallway, on one side was me under a painting of a hung person, and the man under what seemed to be a painting of the universe, everything. I don’t know how to explain it, it’s the most beautiful thing I have ever seen, and it didn’t come from me, I didn’t imagine any of this. I was encompassed in the beauty of this painting but my concentration was broken when I noticed the man was crawling towards me very fast until he was directly over me, I’ve never felt the touch of a man so profound in my entire existence. It was so real, it was more than real. He whispered in my ear “Homo sapiens, the first truly free species, is about to decommission natural selection, the force that made us…. Soon we must look deep within ourselves and decide what we wish to become.” what can you fellows make of it? update: from my dream post earlier today, the last thing the man said to me was “Homo sapiens, the first truly free species, is about to decommission natural selection, the force that made us. … Soon we must look deep within ourselves and decide what we wish to become.”
