It was a four hour never ending dream. Or nightmare
maybe.
There was a man and a woman and they were on a trip. An exotic
trip. They were married 18 yrs and having so much fun splashing on the beach.
And then the war started and people started shooting at
them..an army of black African man in little straw skirts started shooting them
with guns and bow and arrows.
Shooting everyone on the trip.
Everyone was dying off
The husband and wife were injured but kept getting away
from the bad men. Until the bad men would find them again and shoot them down
again.
The dream went on and on and on. Most of the dream was
the two people lying on top of each other barely able to speak and bleeding and
having now words and no voice..waiting and scared and shot. Knowing they could
not move.
And then…they guard left his watch suddenly for 30
seconds and the husband noticed and he got up and said “this is my chance to escape”
and he ran and ran and ran and ran deliberately and powerfully like Forrest Gump
across the field and the jungle into the night. It was amazing and powerful.
But he did not take his wife. He did not even look back.
He ran and ran and ran and ran.
But she was not sad the wife…she did not feel abandoned.
She felt his strength. She felt him change and come alive. Come back to him. She
knew he was not her Protector anymore. He was running for his children as fast
as he could. Because someone has to get home to them and protect them. He thought
he would make a good choice. He could see that now. He could understand that it
was not only his wife who could go home to the children-it was him too.
And so she got up too and ran and ran and tried to follow
him. He never looked back as there was no time to waste but she ran and ran and
she caught up with him. And they were running alongside each other and partners
running towards the same cause.
They found safety together. They got home to their children.
He was not her Protector anymore because there
was nothing to protect her from anymore. He was strong again. She did not
need protection.
He gave her strength instead. That was what she needed.
They were both happy.
It wasn’t a nightmare anymore.
She was safe.
He had saved her by saving himself first
It was the best dream she ever had.
