Sudden Violence Dream
Posted on September 21, 2011
I was walking on the street at night when three people passed me carrying gas in various containers, a clean-cut man, a scruffy man and a woman. I asked what they were doing and they told me they were going to burn down their business partner’s house for cutting them out of a deal he secretly made.
The next morning I was driving through a neighborhood during the day when I heard police sirens. At an intersection ahead of me a Volkswagen slid around the corner and started to speed down the road towards me. Since there was some traffic in both lanes going slowly the speeding car got into my lane and was coming straight at me. I put my car in reverse and sped away, swinging quickly into a driveway to avoid the VW. The other car slid into the same driveway and came to a stop with our cars facing nose to nose. I could see a man wearing a hat and a featureless white mask with long brown hair was driving. Although I couldn’t see his eyes because of the mask I could tell he was staring at me, as if he had stopped running from the police and started chasing me. I quickly maneuvered my car and slammed into the side of his, sending it tumbling down the driveway. I got out of my car and had to duck behind a hill because the driver was now out of his car shooting at me. I suddenly had a gun and shot the driver, killing him.
The police finally arrived, but when the female officer got out of her car she started to shoot at me too. I had an overwhelming feeling that she was not an actual police officer, but was just wearing the uniform. She got closer to the hill I was hiding behind and I jumped down on her, stabbing her in the shoulder. The three people from the earlier scene appeared, again carrying gas but this time in stranger containers like flower vases and large cups. They calmly strolled up to the house and recognized me from before. I was exasperated from all the sudden violence but they didn’t seem to care and continued up to the house. I followed them as they told me they were once again burning their business partner’s house. The speeding driver was their partner and they thanked me for removing him from the business. I asked why they were burning his house again but they could only tell me it was “just what they do.” Their calm demeanor was annoying me, and I told them if they had set up the earlier violence they would regret it.
Suddenly we were on a school bus being driven by the clean cut man. I agreed to go off with them because I was going to need to hide out after what happened earlier. I reminded them that they should not try to double cross me like they did to their partner and the scruffy man told me he didn’t think I could get to all of them. I reminded him I had just killed several people earlier that day. At this point I could see my own face as if I were watching a movie. The right side of my face was cleanly shaved but the left had a full beard.
