Feeding Time

A Dream From The Past

There is an inside swimming pool the size of a football field and 100 ft. Deep. On each side of the pool are three ladders stretching from the bottom of the pool to the top. Like the Hunger Games, this pool is watched by many for entertainment purposes. Audiences watch as prisoners and captives are put to the test. A prisoner must swim down the ladder about 40 - 50 ft. Where there is a knot or lock. They must undo the knot/lock and then float to the top. Here's the twist, around ten seconds after the prisoner dives in, a Megalodon shark is released into the pool. If the prisoner does not complete the task fast enough, the giant shark will catch and eat them.

My family has been taken captive for an unknown reason. We are brought to the pool as thousands cheer from the stands. Each of us is put to the test. One by one, we dive into the pool. One by one we undo the lock right as the Megalodon is released. So far, we all make it to the top alive. Next is my mom's turn. I am worried about her. She isn't a fast swimmer, but she pleads with us not to help her. She dives in. I watch as the clock ticks and know that she will not make it. Against her wishes, I jump in behind her. I find that she is struggling with the lock. I take over and finish it. The Megalodon is released. We swim to the top. Death's grasp barely escapes us. Dream ends.

Shark Excursion

A Dream From The Past

I'm roaming around Anderson, Indiana with some friends looking for something to do. If I had to guess, I would say it was the 1970's. There is a lot of fun stuff to do here, not like how I remember. The whole city is like one giant amusement park.

Near Applewood, there is a shark ride similar to the JAWS ride at Universal Studios, Orlando. This ride however is much more intense. We are placed in a bus that submerges underwater. The windows are nice and big so we can see everything. Swimming next to the bus is a Great White shark. The size of the beast is enough to take the air from your lungs. We have several more encounters along the way. At one point, I tell the bus driver that the graphics on a nearby television are old. He agrees. He then makes me an honorary co-captain of the bus. He places a button on my shirt to make it official.

The bus comes to a stop next to another bus. The driver says, "if you want to experience the scarier portion of the ride, you can exit this bus and enter the other. If you want the experience to end, stay where you are." I board the other bus. I want fear. I need adrenaline. I sit at the back of the bus near the emergency exit. The bus submerges deeper underwater this time. I look out the back door and there is a giant shark with his mouth stretched wide open, looking for a quick lunch. Dream ends.

A Brewing Storm

Dream 1.1.2018

A family reunion (of sorts) is being held at my house.

Both of my brother-in-laws come to my room to play a little game. There is a bowl. In the bowl is various objects including a living, breathing, blood-thirsty shark. The object of the game is to get your hand as close to the sharks deadly mouth as you can without the tiny beast removing any fingers. Everyone's fingers stay in tact, I think.

I take an object from Morgan, my sister, and leave the reunion. I hit the road, Jack. And when I come back, my sister is very angry at what I've done.

In the backyard, there are two tree houses. One at the ground level of an enormous tree and the other is hidden at the top of the tree. One must use a secret door in order to enter the top house. I stay in the top house much of the time. It has a TV and a couch. Very cozy.

People are walking around my yard, from the family gathering. Someone asks me if I will spend the night in my tree house tonight. I tell them that I won't because there is a storm coming. Dream ends.

Sunshine On My Shoulders

Dream 12.8.2017

My family is on vacation in a beach community. I believe Florida. My mom and I go browse some of the nearby shops. I look at a sign that says "Men's Watches." Everything below the sign is for women, not men. I eventually find a Timex watch that I like with a band that changes colors. I show my mom. She buys it for me. It will be a Christmas present. I look at my new watch and a new pair of blue jeans, both purchased by my mom and think to myself that I am pretty blessed.

We return to the hotel room, which is literally ten feet from the ocean. I walk out, prop my elbows up on the handrail and look out at the beach. There is a couple of strangers standing near me. My social anxiety creeps up and I walk back into the hotel room.

My family goes to the beach. My sisters and I keep asking our parents if we can get into the water but they won't let us. They worry about our safety. We walk down the beach. I look out toward the ocean. There is now a canal between the sand and the ocean. The canal comes onto the land and enters a dark tunnel. Boats that are designed to look like giant sharks are exiting the tunnel and headed for the ocean. My sisters and I run down the canal. My parents stay on the beach.

We find ourselves under a bridge where many young people are sitting around, talking and playing games. A beautiful black girl comes over to me. Out of nowhere, I kiss her on the lips. Her breath is terrible. She asks me where the locker rooms are. I look over my shoulder. I point her in the right direction. Dream ends.

Buzzards

Dream 9/26/2017

I create a new game. I take a billiards table and transform it. The green table cloth now has several holes in it. Two big holes on the ends and one small hole in the middle. The two big holes are called "the mountain" and the small hole in the middle is "the source." I also plan to put several holes surrounding the middle hole called "the buzzards." The object of the game is to throw four dark blue or red billiard balls at once. The balls must hit the edge of the opposite side and then roll into the "source" hole. The balls must avoid the "buzzards."

I set up dozens of tables in my home and create a business out of my game. People come and play. They pay me money for my entertainment.

At one point, I am captured and taken to a building similar to a castle. I decide to escape. I help others who are with me. We make it out. I swim down a river. Underneath me are hammerhead sharks. I've heard that if you swim above hammerheads, they cannot see you because of the position of their eyes. I swim above them and have no issues. Dream ends.

The Billionaire's Place

Dream 8/1/2017

     While messing around on Google Earth, I find that I have actually transported myself to a billionaire, rock stars backyard. This yard is extremely luxurious. Large marble steps lead down to a reflection pool. In the middle of the pool is a separate, square pool. On the edge of the reflection pool, I see a few guitars connected to an amplifier. I check out all three guitars and find that they are bass guitars.

     I look over to another side of the reflection pool and see a dugout full of guitars. I walk over to check them out. I desire to play an expensive guitar. Browsing through the instruments, I come across a black Gibson SG. I pull it from the collection. Right then, the billionaire musician comes running from his house toward me.  He begins to berate me for trespassing and playing with his toys. He then trudges through the reflection pool toward the separate pool in the middle. He shows me his pet Great White Shark that lives in the separate pool. Dream ends.

I wake up.

Teeth

Dream 1/21/17

I'm in a town near the ocean. The town looks like it could be french or polish. The buildings look old and beautiful. As I explore the town, I find a claw machine on the edge of a two story building. There is no way to get to it except to climb or jump from a nearby ledge. I do. It excites me that it's hidden and out of the way, I bet there is still a lot of good stuff inside to win.

I quit IHOP not long ago, but due to a long period of unemployment, I am in desperate need of money, so I decide to return to IHOP.

My sister and certain people in my family are running an ocean observatory building, in the ocean, near the french, polish town. Fred Flintstone comes to visit. They discover that cows are grazing on the ocean floor. A giant shark is stalking the observatory. It attacks the building and causes it to sink and become submerged under the surface of the deep. There is also a half shark half killer whale that swims near the observatory. Dream ends.

Close Encounters Of The Shark Kind

Nightmare 1/3/2017

     I'm staying at a hotel near the beach. In the pool of the hotel there is a great white shark. Many people complain because it doesn't have much space to live. It basically swims around in a circle and that's its life.

     In the ocean, just past the buoys, there is an even bigger shark. This beast may be related more closely to the Megalodon, a giant shark once thought extinct. I swim with a group of children and my sister in the waters of the ocean, but am always cautious as to what's below. We never pass the buoys. My sister at one point is on an inflatable raft too far out, but for some reason the shark doesn't attack. We have many close encounters.

     Someone at the hotel shows me a video taken underwater of a girl who was on the swim team, swimming down and coming face to face with the giant beast, and swimming for her life toward the beach, the shark is on her tail the whole time. At one point she rests to regain her strength, at that moment, you would have thought she was going to be eaten. The shark widens its jaws to eat it's lunch, but just then she shoots to the surface and makes it to safety. The footage is heart-pounding. 

     It comes time for me to leave the hotel and go back home. But something strange happens. The children that I played with on the beach change. I feel darkness emanating from their eyes. Yesterday they were the nice kids at the beach, today they are more or less the children of the corn. They chase me down and attack me, but I hide. I wait for the right moment. When I feel they aren't paying close attention, I make  my escape and leave the demon children behind. Dream ends

Megalodon

Dream 2/9/2016

I am swimming in the deep ocean.

This is a game but I am here. I search the waters for sharks. Each shark I discover is bigger than the last. I stand on the ocean floor when a hole opens up and lets out an enormous air pocket. Billions of bubbles rise to the surface. Just then, through the tower of bubbles swims a Megalodon. I am so scared, I can't think or move. He swims over me. Dream ends

Shark

Dream 5-29-13 

Walking through a warehouse, I see some acquaintances of mine. They are standing on a catwalk above a pool. I walk to them. They draw my attention to the pool. I take a glance. I see a shadow of a creature swimming below the surface. They tell me it is a Great White shark. However, it is only mechanical. They want to play a game. A few more friends come by. We tell them to get into the pool. There are about four men. They wade into the pool. My friends on the catwalk push a button. Right then the shark rises out of the water and lets out a fear-inducing growl. The four men below scream and try to swim away. We all have a good laugh. Dream ends.

I wake up.
