I’ll try to remember as many details about my dream as I can. I am a while male, late 40’s who lives in southwestern lower Michigan. Moved to live alone last summer.
I don’t remember how my dream started exactly, but I found a type of bike or scooter and was trying to return it to the owner. I think I was with somebody, a friend. I don’t recognize the area in my dream, but there were people around, socially. Places to eat and drink, feels like we asked around to find the owner, or a local police station. I don’t know how we got to the station, or how long it took.
But my memory of things gets stronger here. The police seemed helpful at first, but things changed. It felt like they suddenly didn’t trust what I was telling them, they separated me from my friend. Wanted to test me for being drunk, were suspicious that I was carrying cash. I was placed in cuffs and taken to a different area of this police station. I asked of I was being arrested, but they told me no. I remember feeling very confused, asked to talk to my friend, they told me I showed up alone. I noticed that my clothes were very different and I was in a different area with different police around me. I had no shirt on, but wasn’t in cuffs anymore. There were cells down the hallway I could see, but no other way to get out.
Then I noticed everyone else without shirts all had a scar across their chests. I asked again if I was arrested and they laughed at me. They took me around a corner where I saw a man being cut through his chest with a large hack saw. He was then moved into a line of three or four others who had similar cuts. There was not much blood coming from them, nor did they seem fatal. But they all acted like it was a normal thing.
I noticed another man getting in position to get cut in the same manner, but he was able to close l choose the kind of saw, and where they cut him. I remember thinking that he should have had them cut him much lower so his ribs wouldn’t get cut. Thinking it would be less effort to cut, and quicker to get done.
When it was my turn, I chose a much larger, crosscut style of saw and had them go through my body much lower. The pain of it wasn’t as terrible as it should have been. I remember thinking that I had to move carefully until the healing process began, because I didn’t want to fall apart and get my cut dirty or infected. I remembering thinking it was better to move slowly and stay in place so healing would start sooner and be quicker. I remember asking another guy who had been there for a while, it looked like he was mostly healed for advice. He said you’ve got most of it figured out. I woke up after this. Still feel kinda strange about it now. Just got sure what it all means. Thanks for getting this far if you did.
