I see "Three" folders sort of floating in my field of vision. I somehow get this urgent feeling I need to pick one of them right away all though I am not sure what they contain. (In my dream) I sit up & start to reach for them and when I do I look at my clock. The time is 4:26 which happens to be my Birthday. I add up the numbers in my head, 4+2+6=12, then 1+2=3. As I realize this I actually wake up to find myself sitting up in bed, looking out my window reaching. The time is just turning 4:26. I have been having this dream for a few weeks now, every couple of nights. Comments by Dreamer Please send me your opinons on what this means. It is driving me crazy!!

Other times, I dream a mirade of images that don't seem connected at all. I don't know what to make of this one: First, let me set the scene for the part of the dream I remember most. I'm standing in some kind of warehouse-like room, mostly dark but with light streaming in places...enough to be able to see. Along one wall is some large machinery of sorts, old, with coils and gears, handles, and grease residue. It seems non-functional or just off. To one side there is a set of open double doors leading outside into an alley or hallway. Most of the floor, except for a crude walkway surrounding its perimeter, is a "lake" or pool filled with dirty water. Jutting out from the walkway (in front of the doors) is a piece of floor that is out over the water like a pier. On top of this is a wrought iron park bench. Now enter the people. I see a brunette girl, who I don't know in real life, but I recognize as a friend in the dream. She is with her boyfriend, who is a scruffy, intimidating figure. One could say he could be the head of the hoods from any high school in terms of looks, but older. The two are on the opposite side of the room that I am, and I can see they are having a "disagreement". He begins pushing her around, and she keeps shoving him away. He grabs her arm, she pulls away, back and forth, all the while moving toward the doors/pier area. I am concerned for my friend and move in to break it up. I want to tell him to lay off and leave her alone (and to pick on somebody his own size). This is a bold thing for me to do, since I'm way smaller than this guy. He stops suddenly, looks at me (as if he has read my thoughts), and swaggers toward me. I want to stand my ground, but I find myself turning my back to him and try to walk away. I'm suddenly afraid of him. Unfortunately, what I fear comes true, as he grabs me by the arm, whirls me around and tells me I'm "in for it now". I try to escape by diving into the pool of water (yuck), but he dives in after me. he chases me around a little bit, but catches me easily, pulls me out of the water, and drags me kicking and screaming to the park bench. The next thing I know, he has pinned me down on the bench, is hovering over top of me, and whisks off both our clothes in seconds flat. I am stricken with fear and loathing as he forces himself on me repeatedly, and I protest all the way, saying "NO!" and pleading with him to stop. But he doesn't. I can actually feel it each time he violates me, and he grins with grim satisfaction with the completion of each act. In all, this went on about 5 times. The girlfriend was around somewhere, unseen, and unwilling to interupt or help me. I felt like she was avoiding him due to her own similar experiences with him, and fear kept her paralized. Finally, he felt he was done with me. I was so exhausted and humiliated...and filled with rage. Then comes the weird part. I'm completely shaken while I try to pull myself together and pull on my clothes, when he slinks back up to me, grinning from ear to ear. I stare at him with disdain while he proceeds to tell me that of the 5 times we did it, he impregnated me 4 times...which meant I was carring 4 babies (this is where reality tacks a backseat to dreamland). Alarmed and devestated, I get up to leave. He starts to laugh and then cracks me across the back with a rod or a cane (where did it come from?). He tells me I'll never get away, but I make a break for the doors. I hear him let out an evil-sounding giggle as I run throught the doors into what turns out to be an alley. There is a car with a familiar-looking middle-aged woman in a navy blue suit driving. She has a kind face, fair skin and light auburn hair. I recognize her only as a teacher I once knew and beckons me to g! ! et into the car. I do and she reveals that my rapist is a former student of hers. We drive for a bit, then the scene changes. I am running along a street, dripping wet, trying to find a hiding place. I pass an oriental woman standing front of a doorway to a shack. She's dressed in very bright colors of turquoise and green, and has a wooden ruler in her hand. Her arms are crossed. I think this very odd, and then, for whatever reason, I realize she is associated to my rapist and I am afraid of her...I don't want to be recognized. She spots me immediately and casually says, "you better come in now, it's time for your Chinese torture." (So WEIRD!) My heart seems to skip a beat with fear as I run like hell to get away from her. She just smiles and watches me scamper away. The scene changes again. Suddenly I find myself inside a cramped stone cave, with tight walls made up of jutting, but smoothly rounded, gray stones. I feel like I'm in a cravass of sorts, with no bottom in sight and barely enough room to move. Escape from the rapist is still on my mind as I think this may be a good place to hide if I'm very quiet an don't move. Oddly, there is a handsome man, 20's, there in front of me...sort of leading the way through the cave. He is somehow on the run, too...oddly enough from the same person, but for a different reason. He assures me he will try to help me if we stay together. He leads me to an opening that leads outside into a sunlit yard of grass, bordered by a concrete sidewalk, followed by a paved road, and a suburb. Strange. We crawl out of the cave and rest on the grass. For some reason, his jeans are laying across a ring of smoking coals...as if to dry (remnants of the water?). I tell him, "I think your pants are dry, they are starting to smoke". (Again, drea! ! mland vs. reality here.) He says thanks, grabs the jeans. I tell him, "you better put out your fire, they might find us." He says he didn't light the fire. I start to hear faint voices and footsteps. I gasp and tell the man, "they know we're here!". But, before we can get up to run, the rapist, dressed in some kind of militant garb, and accompanied by a shifty-looking posse(containing men and women), appears from around the bend. We are caught. The rapist informs me, "I told you you wouldn't get away", and nods to a couple of his cronies to seize me and my cave companion. I imagine the worst. I sense that we are about to be beaten or tortured in some way. I'm absolutely riddled with fear and anticipation of what might come next. Then, while one guy holds me down, a blond woman pours a clear liquid from a medicine bottle onto a soup spoon, and proceeds to force it into my mouth. I want to spit it out, but find that I can't...and against my will find myself swallowing it. My mouth and tongue begin to numb, and I feel dizzy. I feel like I need to lay down. Then, suddenly, the woman grabs my leg, rolls me onto my side, and stabbs my posterior with a hypodermic needle. I scream in pain, then fade into unconsciousness...then I wake up. What is even weirder, is that once I'm awake (and memories of the dream linger), I feel rested and unstartled. I'm surprised that I haven't awakened in a sweat or with a pounding heartbeat. Surely there is a more complete ending to this dream...but there isn't. It's gone. I am back in the physical world. Now what?
