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.”

Scary and yet you hold power.

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.
