REMLink #10: Officer Down February 28, 2008

2-28-08

Emotions: reflective, confused and lost,  angry and upset, scared

            We have some type of delivery and an old deliveryman and I are in my bathroom going over the bill. We are using my fiancé’s credit card and I’m trying to figure out how much to tip. The deliveryman is telling me to calculate 25% and I sit down with a calculator to figure it out.

            I cannot work the calculator; you know how dreams go when you try to type something in a phone or computer. I’m struggling with the calculator and finally come up with some number: $84.21.

            The Deliveryman is very nice and is talking to us kindly. When he finally leaves, my fiancé says, “I love him,” and I realize that the man was just like her dad.

            I’m with my parents and brother in a basement in some type of church. In the dream, I think it is a Unitarian Church. We all sit at a round table and my dad and brother are arguing about something and walk away.

            I tell my mom I’ll be right back and go to check on them. I find them arguing in a bathroom located under some stairs.

When I try to go back to the table, I am now walking out from the church and in to a big city. As I walk down the street toward where my mom’s car should be, I look back at the Cathedral-like decorations of the church.

I reach the end of the block and realize I must of gone the wrong way. I start walking back toward the church and can’t find my way at all. I turn a corner and think that the area looks a little rough.

Suddenly, people are running my way.

“Get inside the building,” one man yells to a couple of girls.

I hear gunshots and I know it must be a gang fight. I dive behind a building and hide around the corner of where the fighting must be. For some reason, I remember wearing a green shirt.

Then, I start using my phone like it’s a police scanner and I hear a couple of officers talking about an officer dying. They say he’s been in the squad for four years. Suddenly, I am emotional and shoot at the gang member striking him in the neck.

In this part, I see a profile view of the guy as the bullet hits his neck. Now, I am above him looking down at his face. In the bottom corner of my view, there is a row of five bullets like the screen of a videogame.

I red bullet goes in the villains left eye and now there are four bullets in the corner.

 

Dream Analysis: I was recently in an actual basement of a Unitarian Church. When I grew up, the church my family went to had a bathroom like that under some stairs. Even more gang fighting… I have no idea. I haven’t watched The Wire in weeks but I am certainly seeing some developing themes here.
