I Had A Dream That Seemed So Real!

[BigPapaDean]

I had a dream a couple nights ago and while at first it was rather frightening it ended up being really cool even tho it woke me up in a very tense moment.

 

It started out where because of what happened in Aurora Colorado that a friend and I were out doing awareness work with the public. It so happened where this work was was right where a group of gun protesters were demonstrating for tougher gu

n laws. Unawre to us was one of the friends or family members of a fallen victim of the rampage then was attending this rally and was very emotionally distressed. We were talking to a group of people at our little stand and while we were in doors and out of sight of this young man he heard about us and what we were doing was telling everyone we need less gun control based on the evidence we had seen when every one had a gun crime dropped a lot. Well he saw we were inside and begaqn shooting what seemed like an automatic weapon of some kind through the door and trying to kill us. we had to hide behind some very dense wooden tables so we were pretty well protected. When he couldnt get us that way he came into the door and ran into my friend who had a poster in his hands saying what we were there for. He looked at a picture he had and said you are not the one I want where is he? I was standing behind a pillar and he could just barely see ma and so I stepped out and let him see me. I saw the look on his face as he obviously was a very troubled young man. He said, "Why are you doing this? If there would have been more control my friend would still be alive now"." Then he looked at me directly into my eyes and said, " I have to stop you from doing this anymore for others sake." I knew exactly what he meant and then I spoke directly to him and I couldn't believe how calm I was while I was looking death in the eyes. I said," I can understand your grief and anger about what happened but doing what you have in your mind will not stop the work I am doing and besides it puts you in the same shoes as the man who did that horrible crime. I also want you to remember while I am not afraid to die here you killing me will be a fruitless act and then you ruin your life. You need to think about what your friend would want you to do instead of what your pain is causing you to think and act on. I care very much what happens to you but if you kill me I will not be able to help you deal with your pain and loss in a constructive way to help you and your other friends and family members! Why don't you put your weapon don't so we can talk and see if we can help you and who ever needs help?" That's when I woke up. I kept talking to him even after I woke up because it was such a good dream and it helped me understand some things about myself and humans as a whole. I felt so good after the first adrenalin rush and I was able to talk to him. I thought this would be a cool movie! Lol! Just not me starring in it!

 

I had to share as I can't seem to shake it from my mind for very long at a time. I hope someone gets something from this as it sure made me think!
