Dec 2,2003

This dream started on the coat tails of another dream.  Whether it just flowed into this dream from the other or perhaps I woke up and went back to sleep.  I had a single barrel break barrel shotgun from the previous dream. 

            It started on top of a hill and l behind me in the distance there was a thriving city with freeways and noise.  In front of me there was a gate with guards and Constantia wire stretching out in both directions.  Behind the wire there was a large depression with rainforest and a lake at the bottom.  Where I stood there was no vegetation and the ground was dry dust with tire tracks all over it.  I was apparently an anthropologist or something similar because the guards were expecting me and my small group, and let us through the gates.

            As I was entering a very attractive native girl came jogging up the hill from outside the gate and jogged inside waving at the guards as she entered the compound.  I understood that she liked to jog out side the perimeter.  As I passed the guards my shotgun was nowhere insight but I understood that I still had it.

            Next thing I know I am at the bottom of the hill inside the rainforest.  I have somehow been separated from the group and my shotgun was out and loaded.  I could hear shots and though I was not being shot at, I was on my guard.  As I followed a trail a Spanish man walked out in front of me and  my gun was pointed at him until I realized he was unarmed and no threat.  He walked on eyeing me suspiciously.  I could hear many people coming and not knowing if it was a good dream gun that needed no reloading or if I only had one shot, I decided it best to hide.

             I ducked into some bushes and in the bushes were hydroponic poppy beds (even though they looked nothing like poppies I knew they were).  I lifted up a tray and got underneath it with my shotgun pointing at the entrance of the bush just incase.  After awhile there were no more sounds so I left the safety of the bush.  As I was leaving I found a briefcase and brought it with me.  My gun was no longer with me (maybe I left it in the bush or maybe it just turned into a briefcase???).  I was walking along the path when the attractive jogger came running down the path and told me to hurry up and follow her.  We ran to the lake with the briefcase and just before we got there I heard the voices again so we jumped into the lake.  Half of the lake was covered with little black poppy seeds.  It had the same look that duckweed does only it was poppy seeds.  We were under the water for awhile when she handed me a straw and said (yes while we were under water)� we can stay here until dark and breath through the straw. 

Well we did not stay in the water very long before she lead me back up the hill to the gate and the guards.  I told the guards that I was going for a jog.  I guess I was now the native girl and because she jogged out side the compound all the time they did not seem to care. I still had the briefcase as I jogged around the outside of the fence.  At some point I left the fence line and headed toward the city.  I guess that was a big no no because a Apache helicopter came out of the sky and started to fire at me. I ducked behind a tree until it passed and then I started running toward the city again and each time the copter would fly by I would jump behind what ever was nearest.  At one point it started firing its mini-gun at me and I jumped behind an easy chair that was out in the middle of nowhere. (It is a dream remember, so easy chairs can be in the middle of nowhere and stop bullets from a mini-gun).  I jumped into a back yard and ran in the house.  The scale of every thing seemed to change because I was now running on a counter top and the helicopter (now the size of a sparrow) was in the house still chasing me.  The briefcase was now gone and I jumped off the counter and ran across the floor.  The copter still chasing me and getting closer and my alarm clock went off.
