i was in one of those survivor programs. it was only the first challenge. we were to stay overnight in the middle of a grassy area with no gear. it was already late at night and i was waiting for the showers to clear up a bit before taking my turn. suddenly out of nowhere, a group of gang members appeared. i was scared because they were known to ambush, loot, and often times kill (which made me question exactly what had motivated me to participate in such a program). unfortunately, i had hung around close to the direction they had approached from. one guy stopped his motorcycle only a few feet away from me. he steered his bike with one hand and had a sort of automatic machine gun in the other. now, if i got up and ran, he’d have a clear shot at me and if i stayed there, he may come closer and take his shot but i would be semi-camouflaged. i tried to stay low and yet he insisted on taking several shots at me. finally, police and paramedics came but there were too many to tend to. one of the bullets had hit me near the neck, maybe in the shoulder area. i touched it and my own blood stained my hand. i lay there, trying to conserve my energy and trying to apply pressure to the fatal wound…..maybe i would make it through. i didn’t want to go like this. suddenly, out of nowhere, chris appeared and found me. he cut my sweatshirt away and tried to make me comfortable. he wasn’t sobbing or anything. instead, he tried to be strong and tried to seem hopeful, but i could see the hurt in his eyes. for a second there, i felt like everything was ok. then i felt myself slowly fade it away…. this was it, my eyes slowly closed, chris’ image slowly faded away and there was nothing i could do about it.

then i woke up and realized that this is now the 2nd time i’ve ever dreamed of getting shot…

don’t pay too much attention to dreams.. i’ve had ones this vividly horrifying… but it’s best just to forget them and move on. if you know deep inside what’s causing them, then be proactive and try to fix them. if not… just wait it out until you know.

How often do you dream you’re on survivor… and what kind of challenge is it to sleep on grass. What does it feel like getting shot in your dream? How did you get shot in the first dream?

whatever happened to those dreams of me and you running from a ghost and me outrunning you? hee. at least they make you grateful you’re alive. or awake.
