Thread Name: Total BS--Dreams in General--Yours?
Subject: RE: Total BS--Dreams in General--Yours?
Perhaps the most bizarre dream-come-true I ever experienced was in 1973. It was as follows;

I was driving down a beautiful road. Trees evenly spaced on both sides of the road had grown so large that they touched each other, creating a tunnel effect; a tunnel of trees. This tunnel lasted fro a mile or so. At the end of the tunnel, there was a small brick building in the middle of the road. As I pulled up to the building, an armed guard came out and told me that I must turn and go back.
End of dream...

Three weeks later, I was out for a Sunday drive. I saw a road sign that read "Whitfield" with an arrow pointing right. Now, "Whitfield" is my last name; it is also the name of the Mississippi State Hospital, which is an asylum for the mentally and emotionally ill.

I had never been to Whitfield, so I figured, "Why not?" I took the right and, after a few miles, I began to see the tree tunnel. It was a lovely sight, but it was quite eerie. I continued on the road, fascinated by my having dreamed this recently. At the end of the tunnel, yes, there was the building. Standing outside the building was an armed guard. I did not bother to approach him, I turned around.

To my own satisfaction, I have an understanding of the "meaning" behind this, but that would take pages to explain!
