Trip To Hell
Here’s a strange dream that I had a while back. I use nicknames for my friends here on the blog to protect the guilty, but in the dream, I didn’t know my friends by their real names. I had a mental block that prevented me from knowing their real names, but I did know them by their aliases that they use. It was quite odd.
I was hanging out in a forest with Max Guevera. Yes, the character that was played by Jessica Alba in Dark Angel. I recognized her as Jessica Alba, but I knew her as Max. That struck me as odd, but there didn’t seem to be anything that I could do about it. I’m not sure why we were in a forest, or what we were doing there.
Seconds into the dream, a hot wind blew across the trees, and they started to wilt right away. The trees quickly died, and were uprooted by the wind. The wind didn’t seem to effect Max or myself, but the trees were gone within moments leaving behind a blast landscape of dried dirt. The land went from a lush forest to something that resembles the surface of a dried salt flat where they race cars at insane speeds.
Max looked at me with a very sad look on her face. She looked down at the ground, and said, “Here we go.” With that, the ground gave away into a huge crater that lead down further than I was able to see. Max jumped into the crater, and I followed her. We seemed to glide more than fall, but the distance that we went down was unmeasurable. I’m not sure how long we fell, but we passed many planes and cliff edges that revealed people being tortured. The tortures started out minor at first, but eventually became more and more graphic and grotesque.
We finally finished gliding/falling down, and landed in a bleak black and white landscape. We were in the middle of a wheat field, and there were demons all around us. There was a small building off to one side of the field. We quietly, but quickly, made our way through the wheat and into the building. The demons saw us just before we entered the house, but we were able to sprint inside before they reached us. We closed and barred the door, and that seemed to be able to keep the demons out.
We were presented with warped and twisted hallways that ran deeper into the house. Max looked at me, and said, “We need to split up. You go that way, and I’ll go this way. We need to find all of our friends, so that we can get out of here with them.”
I took off down my hallway. I came to a door, and I knew that a friend would be behind the door. I opened the door and found Kolvedic there. He was standing in a blue light, and seemed very sad. He looked up at me and said, “I can’t find Jhianna. If I can find her, I’ll be happy again.”
I assured him that we would find her, and we set out on our way.
I recall running through the twisted hallways with no particular plan of action other than to open every door that I came across. Each room was filled with a different colored light, and each light seemed to have a different effect on the person in the room. I don’t remember the exact combinations but there were blue, purple, pink, red, orange, yellow, green, and amber lights. The moods that they seemed to cause were depression, happiness, anger, rage, hopelessness, lust, laughter, boredom, and a few others that I don’t remember.
We finally found Jhianna in a room that was bathed in red light. As soon as I opened the door, Jhianna lunged at me in anger. I had done nothing to anger her, but I recognized the effect of the light. I backed away from her blocking her attacks, but not attacking back. I eventually got her out of the room where she could see Kolvedic. When she stepped out of the red light and saw Kolvedic, she immediately started crying in happiness. They hugged each other, and that was when I knew that I was free from my trip to Hell.
I gathered all of my friends, and told them to follow me. I began leading them through the house, but that’s as far as we got because the alarm went off. I really wanted to go back to sleep to figure out where we were going and how we were going to get there. I guess I’ll never know.
