Dream Recount ☁️ 6:30 AM, 11/7/15 😴
()
Hey steemies,
Before I start with this dream recount, I need you to be aware that my point of view changes a few times within this dream so I'll try to explain along the way who I am in the dream.
I experience the first scene of the dream through the eyes of a Chinese officer and then I experience the second part of the dream through my own point of view.
A small town community are enslaved to an evil and ruthless Chinese military general and his small Chinese army. The general is armed with a pistol while his soldiers are armed with only clubs and other melee weapons. The general was displeased with his army, for a reason I don't know, so he summoned an officer and ordered him to spray his own soldiers with acid as punishment. Soldiers accompanied and closely guarded the general at all times and they heard the order, but they didn't protest for they were heavily disciplined, or fearful of the general. The officer, it seems was already holding a spray bottle of acid in his hand as he received the order, so he walked up to the closest soldier and sprayed his face with the highly acidic solution. The officer and the soldier locked each other in fierce eye contact and waited a short time for the acid for the acid to react with the soldier's flesh.
It was an intense moment for the officer and the soldier, but three seconds after the soldier's face was sprayed with acid, it begins to hiss, sizzle and redden dramatically. The soldier stood idly and screamed while cupping his hands over his face as his skin bubbled and dissolved white creamy, white pustules inflated and burst from his cheeks and forehead. The soldier shortly ceased screaming and his body dropped to the floor, un-moving, dead, while the acid continued to eat his flesh down to the eye sockets and nose cartilage.
The officer took out this horrific action on every soldier in the general's army and watched each other perish single-handedly. Once he completed this ordeal, he returned to the general who further ordered the officer to spray his own eyes with acid. The officer felt terrified of the thought of being blind but nodded confirmation to the general and slowly began to raise the spray bottle towards his own eyes thinking, "I cannot do this!".
Note: for some reason the officer assumed that he would survive the ordeal and would remain blind for the rest of his life even though all of the other soldiers did not survive the effects of the acid)
Once he had raised the bottle to his eyes, he stared into the nozzle and decided, "I would rather die than be blind", so he lowered the bottle from his eyes and ran out of the room, away from the general towards the slave community outside.
The slaves were minding there own business and going about their duties when he suddenly leaped outside and fell into the mud. People were walking by, but they didn't even glance at him as to why he suddenly leaped out of a hut.
No one, except an old lady. She had dark grey, unkempt hair and wore a dirty grey garment. She was standing by a large guillotine standing 3 metres tall with a blade raised and ready to fall. She beckoned to the officer and called, "this is a quick way to die". The officer ran past the old woman and rested his neck beneath the raised blade's path of the guillotine, he raised the blade's release cord and pulled. End of scene.
Story continues with a different point of view..
The dream is now told from my own point of view. The general is now all that remains of the Chinese army and the slaves revolt. They obtain pitchforks and fire torches and begin to search for the general in small groups, when suddenly I hear distant screams from a group of slaves. At this point in the scene, my point of view briefly switches to a close up shot of a dark, tall figure wielding a long sword and wearing a warrior's suit of armour. From each side of the warrior comes two dog like creatures charging towards a group of terrified, screaming slaves. The point of view then changes back to my own and I see people running back and forth , left and right, all around me.
Chaos surrounds me; I can hear the howls and snarls of the two released creatures somewhere in the distance so I run across the road and into someone's yard to hide. The backyard was quite large and had neatly cut, bright green grass. Solid tin fencing accommodated the perimeter of the surroundings and a garden shed lay in a corner of the backyard. I entered the open space and closed the gate behind me and paced toward the ashing line in the middle of the yard. Other people were running about in the same yard in terror, however it was not in fear of the two creatures lurking in the nearby neighbourhood, but for something already in this very backyard. I identified Thomas Richards and Jack Swain to be two of the people in the backyard. All of the yard residents were scanning for the whereabouts of the creature when I began to look for it myself. There weren't many places for the creature to be and so it didn't take long for one of us to coax it our into the open. I saw a flash of movement in the corner of my eye. I scanned all around for the creature and waited until it moved into view, it took a few moments until I saw the terrible creature, only to realise that it was an escaped rabbit that had left its age. I chased and herded the rabbit into the shed and closed the door.
