Two Dreams

Today, I'm writing just to be writing and last night I had two distinct vivid dreams.

The first. I was some kind of rescue worker with an independently run ambulance of some sort. We got a call that there was a fire at an older lady's house. Fortunately it was just down the block from where we were. When we get to the house we don't see a fire but see some smoke. Upon further investigation the smoke wasn't caused by a fire but by some sort of snake that can emit smoke as a defense mechanism. The lady that lived in the house kept it as a pet, along with two cats. The old lady herself was a bit befuddled, not quite all there but was very passionate about this cat that she saved. It was a mangy white cat, missing a bit of fur but was healthy and friendly. I found that to be oddly specific in the dream, me analyzing the cat.

The second dream invoked more emotion than I'm usually used to in a dream. I was in some town by a coastline, but I wasn't from there. I fell in love with a girl named Florence (which I think actually in my mind means Italy not an actual person). I felt deeply connected with this girl, and worked hard to earn her trust. The day finally came and we admitted our love for one another, but also on this day I learned she was part of a cult-like group, who was planning on doing a mass subside that very day. Here's the odd part, I wasn't upset. In fact I loved this girl so much that I stood beside her and was ready to die with her. The group went to a pre-arranged place by the ocean where the deed was to be done. It was in a building, with only one exit. Everyone lied down and was ready to do the deed, and everything was quiet...then at the last moment someone panicked and ran, which caused everyone else to realize what they were about to do and they panicked too. Now there was a mass run toward the exit, ironicly people were getting trampled and killed. But I knew this would happen somehow, the girl and I were first in the line which meant we were in the back of the room in safety. I stepped in front of her so she didn't have to see the carnage, but I knew we would be safe if we just stayed where we were.

Well that's it. Not sure if dreams really mean anything or if they are just pure random imagination. But every now and again when you have that particularly vivid dream.....you have to wonder.
