Not the mama

[ThePaladin]

Woa, what an experience that must have been for you.  Sure would interesting if Mr GA would show up in RL. Why do you think you didn't try to destroy the insectiod thing?

It was a sense of not letting it know what I was capable of doing. Let it think I was weak, let it underestimate me.

I wonder why they think you’d be fooled by that thing. It seems quite childlike, despite being threatening. Seems it was specifically set up to draw you out and show yourself. Wow. Don’t like the sound of that at all.

Saw the insectoid figure again in the next night's dream. It made an appearance, pushing towards me through a crowd of people in what had been, up to that point, an ordinary dream. I was walking along a sidewalk when I saw it, the same black figure but this time with my father's face. It reached for me but I didn't even slow down. All I did was shove it back away from me, saying, "I don't have time for this." It disappeared into a wall. I kept moving along the sidewalk.

Once upon a time, dreams of my parents would cause quite a reaction from me. Times change, people change, and I've done enough healing and releasing of old wounds that now, when I dream of my parents, it's no big deal. So is it old intel that was being used? Possibly. I don't know. But I agree that it was an attempt to push my buttons, see what I was capable of doing. Why? Again, I don't know.
