a dream i had 2 nights ago

so ordinarily on this blog i just post random things from the interwebs that i enjoy and feel like sharing with people.

for years,i have had some incredibly bizarre and vivid dreams sometimes that i can't seem to shake the next day. someone asked me to tell them about the one i had the other night and i obliged.i always though about keeping a dream journal for posterity but never got around to it.it never really occurred to me to share them on here.i don't know if this will be the first or last of these kinds of posts on here or not as i do feel a little bit weird putting quite that much of my personal stuff into the blogosphere (boy,do i hate that word,it makes me cringe a little) but i guess we'll see. maybe i will put more of myself out there,maybe i won't.



anyway,here's the dream...




i got a new job at a business that i couldn't really figure out what the business was even for or what my job was supposed to be.it was something between a bakery,a science lab and a performance collective of some kind.horses wandered around in the building.i don't remember the specific details of this part of the dream but i sensed there was a lot of interpersonal drama and gossip in the building.the boss there seemed nice but everyone was terrified of him and walked on eggshells.apparently if you did something wrong there,even the tiniest thing,he would turn into some sort of tyrant and everyone was afraid to mention the whereabouts of former co-workers.i didn't understand what my job there was to even do so i was especially afraid and tried to hang back in the distance and lay low most of the time.i remember hiding behind a horse at some point.the company was asked to attend an event as special guests.the event was to be a dj playing old motown and northern soul type records from the 60s in an "underground club".we all travel blindfolded to be led into a cavernous underground room which turned out to be old unused subway tunnels.this was no dance club,everyone there appeared to be in wheelchairs, elderly, and otherwise handicapped or incapacitated.drooling,hooked up to monitors and iv's with no consciousness of their surroundings,essentially all braindead.the rest of my group didn't seem to notice anything strange about this and were all pretty much revelling in the fact that our company was selected as the guests of honor at this hip new secret club.i sensed it was a trap and tried to sneak my way out of the room.i found myself wandering through more subway tunnels that resembled something out of the film 12 monkeys.in the blink of an eyei was suddenly on a subway car but someone was chasing me.my only escape was through a hatch in a roof that i tried to climb up.i stood on top of the moving subway car and realized i was going to have to jump from train to train to get away.seeing as this was an incredibly fast moving vehicle and i'm terrified of heights i was panicked.i looked back to see i was still being chased,some sort of robed creatures were on the subway car just before mine.i looked ahead of me and saw a tunnel approaching that even had i ducked i wouldn't have fit laying down on top of the train...and then i woke up.
