John of Going Gently gave us the rundown on 'The Revenant' and got me thinking, er, remembering.
I, at 8 summers
old, am running through the woods, trying to dodge the trees. The autumn leaves
crunch beneath my moccasins. I can see my soft leather leggings as I check for
a clear path to run. I breathe hard. My heart pounds. I look behind me. I can
hear the bear crashing through the brush. Terrified, I try to run faster, yet
know there is no escape. One last look. His jaws are open in a roar as he takes
his prey.
No, I am not into bears ...
I saw the last hour of The Revenant. Gary went to that movie and I went to another. Mine was done first so they allowed me to go in with him. Very intense movie! I did not see the bear attack though. Hmmm.. so this is a dream of yours? Very interesting...
ReplyDeleteDream/Nightmare off and on since I was very little. I am a small boy, it is unnerving and far too real.
DeleteWhat an awful nightmare & to have it recurring must be awful. I wonder if these awful movies do anybody any good.
ReplyDeleteIt affected me much worse when I was little.
DeleteThose movies probably give everyone a good cardio exercise.
I don't dream often and I can't remember ever having a nightmare.
ReplyDeleteLucky you! I don't so often now or maybe just don't remember.
DeleteMy experience with bears nothing like this. One of my friend dream an angry bear was at her window growling.
ReplyDeleteCoffee is on
Some people say that if you dream certain things that they mean thus and so. Not sure what a bear could mean.
DeleteI didn't realise this was a recurring dream of yours Sharon - I thought you'd been visualising and doing a bit of scribbling. Was going to say why did you put your pencil away when these you can put this down :)
ReplyDeleteNo Cathy, I have had this dream since I was maybe 3 or 4 years old, just after we moved into the house in North Saint Paul. Before that, I dreamed of drums and woke screaming about them coming (other Indians). I don't know what to make of it or why I would dream that I was a little boy ... My folks said I was making it up - that would be fine, but where on earth would I get the idea at that age?
