He was driven and strong and unstoppable, and I thought he was pretty cool, though I guess I didn&#8217;t know him that well&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>The next thing I know, there is this girl picking up on him.  She&#8217;s flirting and smiling and on and on.  So he says, let&#8217;s go on a trip, and opens a waiting yellow school bus climbing into the captains seat.<\/p>\n<p>This young hottie is elated and before she climbs aboard this jock says, &#8220;Hey, Oren, bring me the cooler and my knife, this dial is stuck.&#8221;  I bring him what he asks without a thought or at least just focusing on where on earth are we going for a trip for him and this girl.<\/p>\n<p>Then she boards the bus and is stabbed to death by the man.  My mind kind of rubberized the image as though he were mauling a rubber chicked suited mascot shaped like the girl, but the symbolism, the emotions, the shock were all there.<\/p>\n<p>I screamed and ran away to the hills where I was doing research on animal pancreatic hormones.  I got to my facility and there were two small white boxes of hormone supplies.  They looked like from a different world then the chaos I stepped into.<\/p>\n<p>Just then my former friend pulls up in his pickup.  I tried to hide from him but it was too late.  He pinned me in my driveway with his truck and I ran in front of his bumper, knowing that he could easily run me over at that moment which he didn&#8217;t.<\/p>\n<p>I booked.  I ran and my eye caught a nearby payphone.<\/p>\n<p>I tried to call 911 but he was coming too close so I ran again until I reached an apartment building and randomly jumped into a window spiderman style.  An old man within was shocked but I explained that I needed to call 911.<\/p>\n<p>Then it hit me.  I needed to turn myself in as the only way I&#8217;d be safe.  Technically I was an accomplice to murder and would be thoroughly interogatted but it was the only way.<\/p>\n<p>I had to turn myself in.<\/p>\n<p>I had to turn myself in.<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;<\/p>\n<h2>Update on August 1st 2005<\/h2>\n<p>What am I turning myself in to&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>perhaps the hospital?  We just returned home yesterday.<\/p>\n<p>Checking in&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>In waking life the energy of this dream manifested as a 102 degree fever in my 5 week old son Josiah.<\/p>\n<p>We monitored him at home on this day then the next morning the fever broke but we still called the pediatrician who promptly admitted us to the hospital for a 48hour vacation of septic screening.<\/p>\n<p>It was a difficult two days of turning myself in and negotiating with medical staff.  I was adamant that no antibiotics be given until the test results were read.  They were all negative, thank goodness, so we made out without too much intervention.<\/p>\n<p>Interesting to now have come out from turning myself in and relive this dream on this precious group.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The other night I had an intense one&#8230; I was hanging out with this guy, kind of the letterman jock testosterone archetype.
