Confrontation at the Refugee Camp
สัญลักษณ์ในฝัน
In my dream I wake up in this bed in a homeless refugee camp, in the dark, diagonal on the left are 2 people smoking something or something with a lighter and then there is a person on the diagonal right side of me who is gasping for air and I can never figure out why. When I get outta bed the floor is hard smooth and cold, as I'm walking to the bathroom there is a faceless older man that feels familiar yet I don't recognize him, he wants something from me but I can't figure out what. However, in my hand I'm holding something red and black. He angrily he tries to take what I have in my hand. He can't get it so he pulls out a knife that is 5 to 6 inches long silver blade and the word BUCK in capital letters on the side, also has a silver wavy like hand guard. He lunges towards me and I pull out my red handled switch blade that I unsuccessfully tried to use in my defense. I did inflict a couple cuts on his right forearm before I felt a warm wet sensation on my stomach to the right. I got lightheaded as he took off. He was screaming, "Why did I do that." I then got very sleepy and started to fall asleep. When I open my eyes I realize I have really woke up and I'm in the hospital.
