Shadow Bridge

03/25/14

It starts out - the furthest back I can remember - me and my mom are on a trip to Penticton. We're there to do some shopping, but the items we need to buy I remember are very specific. I can't remember what they were, but I remember quite clearly it didn't look like a typical FULL HAUL after a day of shopping. It sorta fades in and out but I could swear for some reason, we seem to take a 'baby' along with us on the trip. I don't know who's baby it is, or even the identity of the child, where it came from or why we have it. I'm not even sure I can completely SEE it in every scene, the first sequence it seems more like out the corner of my eye, it's in the room, and I know we have it - but when I woke up and tried to write this all down, I had to 'think HARD' to be sure?

For whatever reason, I can't remember, I think to collect some other needed items, my mom wanders off, while I'm at the checkout - with the baby and the stuff. The cashier isn't there. The line's piling up and there's an equally frustrated elderly couple behind me, in line. We start to chat, no knowing how else to pass the time. There's like one of those divider bars separating their stuff from mine, you know what I'm talking about. At one point I feel like it's WAY TOO CLOSE, they're stuff is starting to tread over top of my stuff and I'm trying to think of a polite way to request they back it up just an inch - don't want our things getting mixed up.

For whatever reason the husband starts talking to me in sorta a nostalgic grandpa kind of way and wants to perform a magic act for me. There's a blanket/or a quilt, I think it's red with sort of a white outline or something. He places it down on the conveyer belt and the poor guy doesn't get to finish his act cause I remember quite clearly his quilt is covering up an item of mine and I feel as if it's of VITAL IMPORTANCE I don't lose this particular item.

It's a group of coins. Very specific the number, I counted - exactly 5. Any they look like either quarters or nickels, I didn't get the feel of dimes whatsoever - there's pennies found I think later on in the dream but this dream seemed to be very specific at this particular part, so much so that it was the FIRST THING I could think of to write down the second I woke up! Five nickels (the number '55'???) -Anyway, this act of retrieving the coins seems somewhat to irritate the old couple. Although they seem more restless at the complete absence of the cashier.

After a while, when they're sure nobody is looking, the old couple take their things and go on the run, they drive off with me and my mom's van - and for whatever reason WITH ME IN IT?! They're driving out of town faster than the Clyde Barrow Gang. I get worried cause this strands my mom in town not having a ride home, being all alone, and not knowing what happened to me? I eventually put my foot down and demand of the old couple that they stop and let me out, knowing I can't possibly fight the two of them off or force them out of the van.

They surprising oblige and stop to let me out. I make double sure that they don't drive off until I'm finished taking out the necessary items. I'm not sure I'm able to get everything I bought from the store out of the van before they take off - I think they make off with that stuff. But the most important thing to me is that I manage to get the baby out of the van. Now stranded on the side of the road with virtually nothing but baby in arms, I start to contemplate the long trek back to the other side of town to get back to my mom with cars whipping by. No sooner do I start to walk in the other direction the van was driving does the sun MAGICALLY set in the blink of an eye. Almost like an optical illusion, before I even know what hit me it's PITCH BLACK out and I'm nervous. There's very minimal street lighting.

At one point I'm trying to get home and it becomes increasingly evident on order to do so I need to cross a bridge. There's nothing but PITCH BLACKNESS, it's more like a 'tunnel' when looking toward the other side of the bridge, the street light doesn't even light the whole way? There's two ways to cross, one is a slimmer route, on the outside of the support beams holding up the bridge, the other is the actually road itself which is wider. I at first choose to go the wide route. But something stops me short. There's some teenagers coming this way, and I know this is gonna make me sound like a pussy, but holding an infant and all, I can overhear their conversation and they start swearing at each other and talking vulgarly. They don't sound very friendly, and I begin to become very worried cause other than the baby I'm all by myself. I opt to go the other way, since maybe because I can't see them means they can't see me either so maybe I can slip past them by going around.

However, once I go to try doing this, the noises sound like they coming the other way also - "which way do I go?" Panic is starting to set in as it becomes increasingly discomforting that at any moment I'm gonna be discovered as they're getting closer and closer, my breath becoming shallower. With the complete lack of artificial light or anything else their voices are nothing but white noise in the shadows, I have no idea where they are, if they can see me, or even if they have actual physical bodies?

The next thing I know the dreams phases to another sequence that seems unrelated altogether. I fall in to an apartment complex. We're high up on one of the floors, I know that much. Only what's hard to explain is I don't appear to be me anymore. Now my brother's the main character, and he's got the baby. I've switched identities to one of the people in the room. Are these the teenagers from before? They look like a group of thugs and hoodlums. Gang tattoos and wannabe gangbangers, you know the type? They're laughing and everything as my brother's just trying to get through the door and get out of that apartment.

They don't seem willing to let him leave. They throw him on the ground, gang up on him and start to steal his stuff. My brother changes attitudes from aggression to pleading - he just wants the baby, and to leave. I've seen enough, I put a stop to the fight and immediately everything and everyone goes quiet as I start to lay an ethics lecture into everyone. I start calling them all on their crap and asking them have they no honor, no self-respect. The man's trying to look after a child, who among you can say your life is a more honorable one than his. Something like that - I can never remember the dialogue that clearly in my dreams.

I lay a guilt trip on everyone and eventually the baby is handed back to my brother and they leave. I stay in the apartment and start to get depressed/bored. It's sweltering. The police could come crashing at the door any second - I'm not sure if it was the police or not, I just remember for some reason expecting someone to burst in on our hideaway and I recall looking at the window(s) - they're two of them. (One's higher up than the other.) And I recall making the comment to one of my homies saying that if they come crashing at the door at any second right now, I'm probably gonna jump out one of those windows.

The last thing I recall was just simply being 'hot', sweating, looking at both the windows and basically zoning out in my mind about what this all means as in the background I can start to hear the noise of a baby crying get louder and louder and LOUDER and LOUDER... ...until I open my eyes!
