A drunken old man leaves a party.
Three young men shove him and
laugh as he staggers and cries.
They glide into a tunnel.
Suddenly, one of the men snaps the
old man’s arms and slips a knife into
his chest.
Three young men vanish in a spray
of red.
The old man falls.
I land by the body and pull out the knife.
The old man turns to me and says: “It ain’t
easy being meat.”

You’ve captured the essence and mood precisely as the mind presents the images. Well done.

Scary and yet you hold power.
I’d also like to read the next one!

Thank you — I did post it–It’s not a dream but it provides a context for the dream. In retrospect, from what I can remember of that period, this was a tough week . These are only a few days apart.

So frightening, Robert. Do you have a sense for what happens next?

I had a lot of scary dreams like this during the AIDS epidemic–this is one of my first dream notes-The first draft is dated 1984.
I began to write them down when I woke up. Perhaps I should post the dream that follows this one.
I think I will.
That may be the source of the fearful imagery.
