Powerless to The Product of Society-- A Dream

Okay so, basically this first half is going to be one big descriptive mess because I'm just trying to summarize and remember the dream I had last night. So bare with me because after I summarize I'm going to analyze and maybe it's something you can relate to? Me and some friends checked into a hotel, and it was all very strange right from the start. Within the first hour of being there these strange girls had it out for us, and seemed nearly unbeatable. It was a really dark place and it seemed no matter what we did we couldnt fight these girls. Have you ever had one of those dreams where you hit someone and you feel powerless? Thats what it was like. But anyways I vaguely recall that in the long run these girls turned out to be undead or something but they werent exactly human. There were things that made us a target in this hotel, like we couldnt wear rubber on the soles of our shoes because thats what attracted these awful people I guess. I know it sounds fucked up but I can't help what I dream. You know how it goes in a scary movie, if theres a group of people who are bad, one of them is the worst. After a while it seemed like every other girl started to fade out as that one girl seemed more determined to be after us, more like after me because in time it seemed like I was the only person I knew in my dream. But back to the things I couldn't do that were strange; for some reason I couldn't step on rocks in the water. At one point in the dream as I was trying to get away we were on a beach I think, and I slipped and as i was pulling myself out of the water the girl in her "true form" was coming straight at me, and she was one of the scariest things I've ever seen, but as I was pulling myself out of the water when me and her were head to head it was like she ran right through me... It was strange, like the adrenyline and fear pumped through me had been all for nothing. This is about the part where things started getting more fucked up and even more vague. At a later point, everyone who was staying in that hotel had been gathered all into one area. Some people were normal, and scared as I was, but then there were others like the girl, that made that girl that I had spent my whole dream running from look like a lost fucking puppy. They were terrifying. But in this gathering what the strange people did was they seperated the people who they had managed to make like them, and the people who hadnt made it, and killed the people who werent like them. I don't know why they kept me, because I hadnt changed to my knowledge. Next thing you know, that night I was at some sort of "acceptance" party into this fucked up society the hotel had created, but I was in disguise, I somehow managed to get a costume of some sort that made me look like them and was doing as instructed by the others. At one point I was talking to someone who was one of them... but they were willing to help me. And at another point I had seen someone who was in disguise like me. Neither of them ended up being any help, it was odd. I had escaped the party, and hid in the woods then heard someone coming and forced myself to wake up.


It was the scariest dream I've had in a while, and I wish I could describe it in better detail or remember more about it or describe one of the scenes better but it was truely indescribeable. It was one of those dreams where you have to try multiple times to wake yourself up and sometimes when you think you do you fall back asleep and keep dreaming that same one.



Heres my take on this dream my analyzation... A group of people go into what is supposed to be a normal situation; i.e. suburbia?. They start realizing that the situation isn't normal the people are basically brain washed, fucked up, strange. (i.e. soccer moms, preps, jocks, sluts hahah) They don't put up with it or fall in line, so they are singled out. Then one really bad group, kind of like a group of you and your friends if you looked at them, but if you knew them you'd think different, tries to break you down. We all look alike, but underneath the surface it's a brand new story. But one of them sticks out more than the other, one of them is deeper into the situation than their friends (hence the girl and her friends) one of them is THE product of their environment that they've been taught to be. But you never realize that it's not just that group of friends that is like that, theres an entire society of them. And you feel that if you keep fighting eventually the trend will all go away. Like that feeling I got during the dream where I kept fighting, but I felt powerless. It's the scariest thing in the world to be hitting someone and seeing that all it does is make them feel like youre brushing their face with the palm of your hand, when youre really putting your all into it. This dream did something that no other has ever done; it made me realize my worst fear; lack of strenght and power. Anyways so as the situation continues as my dream did, you realize more and more that you're somehow alone, you wonder if your friends that you came with faded into society and blended or if they got away. Then it gets to the climax, where you are either seperated from the social norm, or you are brought into it and expected to conform with their fucked up ways. And if it's the first one... you're shunned (well in my dream killed but with the way people are these days who knows) So as it come to the end of this social journey you never know if you can become an imposter and escape or if you are dragged back in... all because I opened my eyes and wouldn't finish my scary dream... Go figure. I'm a coward.
