bad dreams
Apr. 6th, 2006 06:16 pmA few nights ago I had a dream that was about a group of people. There was a father and his son, but the rest of the bunch were mostly Egyptian gods and some Martians. The Martians looked like regular people, you could only see they were Martians when they died. Which happened like this:
The group had to leave some place they were staying. They traveled on a kind of cart that was not drawn by any animal that I can remember. On their way to wherever they were going, they were stopped by some sort of bandits. Obviously, the group had nothing of any value with them, but the bandits stopped them anyway and told them to come with them. The people did, thinking it was better not to get into any trouble with quite well-armed bandits on a dark road.
Next thing I remember is that every one of them is strapped down on a board, the boards arranged in a circle. And one of the bandits goes round with a chainsaw and cuts people's heads off. He starts with one of the Egyptian gods, then a person who looks like a human but when his head is cut off, his body becomes green and his face and mouth are kind of odd - a Martian.
Then the guy with the chainsaw tries to kill another Egyptian god, but as this one - I forgot the name, it's the god of the Nile, I think, a crocodile - has not one but three heads and they're kind of difficult to control, being crocodile heads, he decides to go for easier prey instead and walks over to the boy.
I woke up with the image of father and son screaming for mercy, the father telling them to kill him instead, to not kill the boy, to not let the boy see this, the boy crying for father, father FATHER!!
When I went back to sleep, my mind had taken control again. Sechmet, who for some reason was a man in my dream, turned into a cat and managed to get out of the shackles and get away, which distracted the bandits enough to stop killing people. I believe Sechmet, in lion form again, killed them and then freed the group. The only person actually to be dead in the end was the Martian. Gods aren't that easily killed.
I hate bad dreams. Especially as they usually return the next night if I happen to remember. This one did, but I managed to chase it away by thinking of how it all ended well (except for the Martian).
I wonder what a dream interpreter would say to this though.
Anyway.
