Last night I walked through a dreamscape unlike any other I have visited. I was walking, sometimes riding as a passenger in an old beat up diesel truck. The land around me had a bombed out barren feel, flat, no green to be seen, no matter which horizon I focused on. It felt like the aftermath of something terrible, something that had happened, but not recent. I caught a view of myself, and the face and self I saw was not the face I knew was mine.
Now, I am no raving beauty, but you can see my Swiss ancestry in my facial bones, I guess attractive is as close as I would admit to being, unless I am in the throes of passion, but that is another story.
The woman who looked back at me was shorter, darker hair cut short, dark eyes, round face, and she seemed potato pudgey. She was also extremely determined to find a person, a man, that she was following.
Was it love? I'm not sure, but she was stubborn and tough and needed to see this person.
Off the truck and approaching what must have been a bombed out town. I could see in the far distance smoke, as in a lot of things burning far away. This person I was saw a young girl who was alone, maybe 9 or 10 and naturally approached her and took her by the hand to walk with me. Something was happening, we needed to take shelter and headed to the broken remains of what must have once been a highway overpass. As we approached an unknown man burst out from the shadows and snatched the girl from me, I followed and fought, hard. The girl and I left, not sure what kind of mess I left that man in.
Scene turned again, I had found the man I had been looking for, someone I knew, someone I might have grown up with. As I silently studied his face I saw no love, no pity in his eyes, he was frankly dismissive. I was not prepared to give up, and as he drove away I followed, the girl at my side. Walking through dust towards that burning horizon.
So, that was the dream. When I woke the name "Neds' was in my head. Picking up my phone I googled Neds. It turns out that Neds is a store in Australia, and Ned's Harbour in a town near Adelaide. I have never been to Australia, and I am not familiar with any of the smaller towns.
It really struck me as odd this dream. Was it in the past? Was it the future? And how did I know Ned's Harbour?
You have to wonder.
