Dream 07262014
In this dream, my mother and father (deceased) have gone away on a vacation. While they are gone, I decide to buy a new car even though I"m already driving a relatively new car. I"m in a Ford dealership and I write a check for a down payment on a Black Ford. It"s one that has to be ordered so I drive away in my current car. In real life, I drive a 2011 Silver Nissan Sentra, but in the dream I"m driving a black car. During the dream, I"m wondering why I would buy a second black car? I rationalize that it must be so that I can loan my car out, or so that I can have a spare. I wonder if I can afford a second car and think about the 3 day rule of returning a car. I"m experiencing buyer"s remorse. I wonder if I"ll lose my deposit?
The next element is that I find myself in a courtyard of apartment buildings. There is a group of people (maybe 12 of them) scattered evenly around the large courtyard. They are acting out Bible passages. The courtyard is so big that I can barely see the two speakers at the far end of the courtyard. The actors are walking around reading out loud from the Bible, and acting out a passage. I noted how each of the actors would pace around constantly even when not reading. I felt like I was a new participant with no speaking parts. There were some large trees scattered near the buildings but none in the center on a sunny day. Suddenly, there was a commotion and all eyes turned to the sky. I saw a swarm of something (Black Insects?) moving from my left to my right at the speed of a swallow and they zoomed into an actor"s body a-la the "Green Mile" and the person started to writhe on the ground. The actor was to my right.
Moments later, another swarm did the same to me and I fell down. I could feel them moving inside my lungs but I did get up again. I found myself talking to a doctor and commenting that maybe I was attacked because I had been a smoker? But there were other smokers present and not attacked. The doctor asked me how I felt, and I told him I still had those things inside me. Maybe I wasn"t worthy to be an actor in one of those religious readings?
Another dream element was when I was being told my name was "NASH". I told him (the doctor?) that my last name was Montalvo, not Nash. Then he said that was my Spanish name. My real name is "Nash". I then recall him thanking me for helping him to realize his real name was "Henderson" or "Hamilton".
The next thing I know, both of my parents are back from vacation and I"m wondering how I"m going to tell them about the attack, the car, the real name? I"m again thinking about the 3 day rule and wondering if I should back out of the deal for the black Ford? One less news to break to them. That"s when I awoke.
