News of the day invading my dreams.

In the dream, i’m inside a large ship. It’s huge - like a space station maybe, but rides near the ground. It’s a huge tank on a mission to support the ground troops that are on a mission to clear out the ‘bad’ people. The tension inside the ship is very high. I can see the ground troops spread out under the ship (hover tank?) and on either side. They’re wearing full body armor and look like black plastic toy soldiers creeping along with the ship. My guide/companion (?Fitz maybe) tells me we’re going to take a road vehicle out and scout on ahead of the ground troops and we get in a large black pickup truck and take off going really fast. We’re on a road but it’s very dusty and obviously hasn’t been used in a long time. The scene is very apocalyptic. We approach the outskirts of the remains of a city and begin to see people. I’m very afraid – these are the ones that our ground troops have been ordered to annihilate and i know that they’re very dangerous even though they just look like wild dirty humans. We turn around and go flying back to the ship so the guide can tell our leader what we’ll encounter ahead. From inside the safety of the ship, i’m fearful. I argue with the soldier’s leader that fighting against those scavengers will be useless and a lot of soldiers are going to be killed. I want him to call the soldiers in to board the ship with us and see what the scavengers will do.

I’m in a big garage like place where boats are lined up in slips. The man who is taking me through the place tells me that these boats all need some kind of repair or maintenance. Assuming that these boats are floating in water, i tell him that i could maybe help with scraping off barnacles if the boats are lifted up. He explains that the boats i’m looking at are ‘dry-docked’ and need to have other kinds of repairs. We approach a boat that has a few guys doing some work on it and i see that they’re replacing metal chrome strips on the edges and seams of the boat.


Exhausting dreams. Afghanistan. Health Care Reform.
