the Circle Dream

Travelling along Eccles rd, where arte we heading.

I leave some valuable things with some people,

There is a crash on the road, and ambulances are coming to sort out the crash, but all that happens is that more and more cars pile up.

I'm stood in a group of onlookers witnessing this scene, and we can't believe what we a are seeing. In front of us a bloody deathly sight unfolds, and there is nothing we can do but stand back, keep our heads down, and watch.

All the traffic in all directions has stopped, and there are people piling out of their cars onto the street. We can hear something big approaching down the road. We think it will be some emergency service to help the terrible scene, but something else is emerging. We hear gun shots from down the street, and within a few moments gun shots are all around us, and immediately as the gun shots are heard, a wave of panic and fear runs through the crowds, in all directions. ---
My instincts say Run, run for your life.
I try to go back to the place where I left my stuff with my friends before, the valuable stuff, a camera and clothes and tools; my plan is to grab them and run. I find the friends who I left them with, but they tell me that they transferred my stuff to another friend, just round the next street. The quickest way to get there with all these crowds in the streets is to go over the building in between, so I climb over this building and in doing so I get a view over the scene. There are thousands of people on the streets, and down all the roads as far as the eye can see, cars are piled up, end to end not moving. In the centre of the chaotic scene a large circle has emerged, within which are a group of military dressed soldiers with machine guns, surrounding a large number of cars that had crashed into one another, causing this whole affair.
Something isn't right, from this circle I hear gun shots and there are what look like dead bodies lying on the road.

--
I finally get over to the building to meet these other people who have been looking after my valuable stuff, and I find them, but they do not have my stuff as I had hoped, and the more I ask them about it, the less of a clear answer I get, and its easy to understand why. From the natural ebb and flow of the crowds, we now find ourselves drifting closer and closer to the dreadful scene that we are all trying to get away from.


We hear more gun shots, and this time it is really close. Every one around us panics, and know one knows what to do. We can't move anywhere. People are lying down, to get out of the line of fire, and yet then they are standing up because they can't see what's going on lying down.

trying to push there way through.

One of my friends ( there are quite a lot of them here), a middle aged lady, with a powerful voice, stands up and tries to create some order, she gets everyone's attention with her voice and first tells everyone that we must trust one another. If we don't trust one another then we can't help the situation.

Then she tells us all to lie down. We must lie down to get out of the line of fire, so we do. And when we lie down we enter into another reality.

Now its dark, almost pitch black. We can sense the presence of one another, and also are aware of the force of destruction that we have been trying so hard to avoid. What has changed is that now our minds are united, on both sides. It seems as if we, me and my friends are thinking as one organism. Also the forces of destruction have united into one force, and act as one organism. The lady with the powerful voice speaks up again. She tells everyone about the situation, because she is wise, and can see what is going on. Many people are afraid and don't know if we will survive; the forces we are up against now seem so powerful, and set on destroying us. Powerful voice lady says "look; we have become a large circle. Isn't this what we have always been asking for?".

We all feel like this is something that was destined to happen, and this is because, upon hearing these words, we remember that we have been here before, and if we have been here before, we must have survived, and if we survived, we must know what to do. The key thing it seems is trust.

Now a new leaders voice speaks up. Its a young mans voice and he says "we must travel together through this landscape, as one being." We look around, and our site has grown accustomed to the dark, in fact we have developed an extra sensory vision, we can now see things unknown to us before.

The landscape we are in is a futuristic maze like building, with tunnels and passages, and also big areas of open space. We can sense the places we must avoid and also sense where we must go. The mans voice speaks up again. " Use your infrared site, see the trip lasers, we must avoid these" (its a bit like terminator 2)

We start moving like a snake through this landscape of the dangerous dark. We feel united and , although the forces are against us, we feel we will make it through.
