Nightmare - Extermination

Mmlurgh.... I've just woken up feeling really tired this morning, and probably due to the dream I had. Apparently my nightmares involve some kind of secret operation mass-extermination of large groups of people. Oh wait. Doesn't that sound familiar to a certain little episode in history.

According to my dream, I escaped, but I'm supposed to be dead. According to the "death roster" that I held up and read with horror in my dream, many of my friends fortunately made it out (I nearly cried, I was so happy), but I wasn't supposed to. That death roster gave me a sickly smile as I held it. I could feel it. It was the same smile that the "authorities" gave all the people in order to comfort and lure them like sheep into the electric pens. Yes, electric pens. My death was supposed to be in a room full of people closed inside a low, electric pen. Like animals.

Just outside the facilities on the balcony, there was a lake. As many of us looked over, a hugely bloated dead corpse floated by on the sickly, algae green-brown water. But no one seemed to think anything of this, and I couldn't understand why this was something to be simply accepted. It rained. My friends came out of the facilities on bicycles that could rise through the air, like in E.T. Shortly after, I read the roster, with a black "CLEAR" beside most everyone else's name, except for the red "MISSING" by some names, and something also red but worse by my name... I don't remember what it was now. But it was something like, "DECEASED" or "EXTERMINATED".

Ah, it just occurred to me. I've heard that you aren't supposed to be able to read in your dreams. Yet I do clearly remember reading both names and statuses on this roster. (Yet now, I also wonder if both aspects are true, possibly because reading may be a mental recognition instead of a strictly visual one.... that probably made no sense).

I haven't had many bad dreams recently. But when I do, the significant majority of them, from years and years, are Holocaust-like situations. Or, at the least, I am struggling to surreptitiously run and hide and escape from a huge, military-like group or organization, which has one "mind," but countless underlings and officers to carry out the actions. Like some kind of human ant nest on a slightly smaller scale.

Anyway... there are many more aspects of interest from this dream last night, but I need to eat some breakfast and head to class....

I've never seen E.T. though, by the way.
