Post Apocalyptic World and Secret Passages Part II

…continued…
As I made my way down the dark shaft with the black zippered pouch between my teeth, I could feel a sense of urgency coming over me. I tried to hurry down, but I had to be careful because as I climbed further down, the rungs of the ladder seemed to become more slick. First they were covered with water, then a kind of clear slime. This clear slime turned progressivly darker as I descended until eventually it was as black and slick as the sludge of oil you would find in the engine of some long-forgotten tractor in the middle of a field.
I finally reached the bottom of this shaft and the opening was just below me. I stopped to survey the area I was about to drop down into. It was dark, damp, and the floor covered with black sludge and a rotten stench seemed to permeat through my skin. I lowered myself down until my feet dangled about four feet above the sludge and then dropped. I was expecting the sludge to be a couple of inches thick, but unfortunately it was more than two feet deep.
I surveyed the area I was in and it seemed that I was back underneath an overpass or highway. Actually, it looked a lot like an underground parking garage, except with no cars, and it also looked like it had been flooded for some time and that the water had only recently subsided leaving this black sludge and debris. I had the distinct feeling that this was due to whatever catastrophe had happened in previous years.
I also had the feeling that I was not alone…
I knew I had to find the surface immediatly, so I started to make my way slowly through the muck. Not long after I started I could see where the concrete started incline upwards and break free from the black goo that had been covering it so far. I could also see a pinpoint of daylight.
I had felt relief until I heard a sound behind me. It sounded as if something was being dragged through the first few inches of the muck along with muffled mumbling and heavy breathing. I looked behind me and saw a black figure coming from behind one of the concrete columns crawling on the surface and reaching it’s arm toward me! I scrambled to get to the surface opening as quick as I could, but it seemed that although this dark figure was crawling that he was approaching me fast.
As I neared the surface, this dark arm grabbed my ankle and stopped me from advancing further. I turned to look and it was a man and a dog, both completely covered in the shiny black sludge, both of their bodies contorted into a sort of lop-sided state, and both lying there staring at me with contempt. Well, actually it seemed that the dog had a rather innocent look on it’s face.
This man tried to convince me not to go to the surface with whatever it was I had in the black zippered pouch. He started by demanding and this eventually to a plea. I started to feel empathy for him, but I knew I had to continue for the good of the masses. I stood up and started to walk out of the underground area and back into the daylight, and that was the end of that one.

Hi James,
Thanks for the comment. It’s reassuring to hear that someone else is having similar dreams. As to what they mean? Well, that’s a difficult answer. In my mind there are a lot of factors that could be causing these. I mean, it would be pretty easy to look at the state of the world and what we see on the nightly news and say that our dreams are influenced by this alone. Whether we know it consciously or not, I think it would be safe to say that this is, at least in some part, true.
However, maybe there’s more to it than that. If you want to view it more from an esoteric standpoint, could it be that maybe we are realizing our true potential or even purpose? Is there a time coming when we will be tested? A time when we are will be forced to lead others for mere survival?
This is a slippery edge to walk. I certainly don’t want to become some cult leader who claims the “end is near”, so all I can do at this point is report the dreams I have here, and I do this because sometimes they are so vivid and powerful that I tend to think there’s something more to them. But who knows, maybe there all just dreams, no more, no less.
At least by reporting them in this way, I have a record. Only time will tell.
