Night Terror Archives #1
April 30th, 2007 by Danny
So I was thinking, throughout the years I’ve had some pretty weird dreams. They say that most humans can’t remember a large percentage of what you dreamt. 80% or something like that. Well i remember a lot. A lot, a lot. There are dreams I had when I was 4 that I can still recall as clearly as when they happened the first time. I say the first time because many of these dreams were reoccurring ones. So if the stats are true then I can only imagine what I can’t recall. Either way, I’d like to document those just I have some sort of official archive. Many would say that I should look these dreams up and see what thy mean, but honestly I like to let them be what they are, dreams, and not get into the “nitty gritty”. feel free to chime in.
Dream #1: Shamu lives in the Safeway
This one goes back to about 1989. It’s the first time I remember having it and I know it wasn’t the last time I had it. Very little changed between the different versions.
So In this dream I’m walking into the Safeway (now Vons) which we used to walk to with my mom when we were kids. Back then the floor was this commercial linoleum made up of off-white and dirty orange squares. Checkerboard-like. So I walk in holding my mom’s hand and I notice how other shoppers are strolling along occasionally steering their ratty shopping carts around these large square openings, maybe 2ft x 2ft, minding their own business paying no attention to them. The big square openings where bright blue. When I looked close it looked like I was looking into a brightly lit endless tank of water. It went on forever. These were littered throughout th entire market. I remember getting real close to my mom and being scared to walk near them. We kept walking through the aisles and occasionally the blocks would turn black for a split second. Curiosity, of course, got the beset of me and I went in for a closer look. The brief moments of black were caused by the passing of a killer whale. There was a giant freaking killer whale under the floor! Shamu lived under this safeway and the holes were simply places where she could breach out and land inside another opening. Creep shit! Big ass whale squeezing out of a 2′x2′ opening!
I’m not sure if you can really picture that but it was creepy. I remember freaking out in my dream and waking up when Shamu came out of 1 opening behind me and nailed me. I can’t even begin to think what combination of events coulld lead to having this dream. It may sound kinda dumb but it was definitely a trip. I think it may have had something to do with seeing
“ORCA” 1 too many times…
