| I was in a
thick forest
with two other people... trying to get away from
another group. We were climbing down
a steep cliff
trail,
and I was in the lead. I noticed that the trail
suddenly ended and dropped off... it was a good,
long drop to the forest ground below. I dug my
feet into the soft ground and leaned against the mountain
wall. I called out to the guy just up the path
from me, "It ends here. Don't come down
anymore. We have to go back." I was
terrified of him bumping me off the path and over
the cliff. He kept walking, steping right to the
cliff ledge
before deciding that it would be better to turn
around and try another way. No kidding.
We crawled
back up the path and made it back over the ledge.
The main path on the mountain was to one side,
but we decided to rest for a moment... tired
from all the exercise. Out of the trees, came
another three
guys... these were the men
we were trying to get away from. The leader
grabbed me and, instead of just kicking me over
the ledge, pushed
me down a different steep trail... which ran
parallel to the main path... divided by a few
trees and undergrowth.
The path wasn't any more steep than the one we
had just climbed
up from, but I somehow knew it would kill
us... it may have led to another ledge drop off.
I stretched my leg
out, as I tumbled, and wrapped it around a tree.
It hurt like hell, but I stopped. Just as I did,
I saw the second guy in our group come tumbling
down toward me. With my legs still wrapped around
the tree, I reached out and grabbed him. Again,
ouch... but I caught him.
The dream jumped and, instead of three people
in our group, there were only two...
and, the guy I had just saved, had suddenly
turned into AR.
We lay as still as we could, as the other group
walked past us on the trail proper. One of the
guys, who started looking a lot like Dr. McCoy,
noticed we weren't dead.
AR kept squirming and wanting to whisper
to me. I put my hand
over her mouth
to shut her up, but she still wanted to talk. She
was going to really get us killed and I pushed
harder with my hand. I kept thinking shut up
shut up shut up shut up... over and over. I
couldn't understand why she was oblivious to what
was going on... we were in danger!
With all the squirming, it wouldn't be too
difficult to tell we weren't dead but, as this
was just a dream, the leader looked over at us
and then asked the McCoy look-a-like if we were
dead. He replied,"Yeah. They're dead.
Let's go."
I was shocked. He had purposely lied,
and I caught his eye questioningly.
The dream jumped and I found myself in a house...
but, I can't remember anything else after that.
Damnit.
End.
