Dancing Puppets of Death

Hallucination date - April 2016





This dream occurred when I was first admitted to this hospital. At that time, my arms were locked tight to my chest and my legs were also curled up against it. I was in this position constantly, and it spilled over into my dream.


I felt as if I had just woken up. I was in an smallish amphitheatre, constructed of beige stonework, and was sitting on a stone block in the centre of the arena. My arms and legs were strapped tightly against my chest with black straps made of nylon webbing; like those used for seat belts, but thinner. They were all over me and kept me locked in this position. Apart from my head, I couldn’t move at all.


What follows is extremely clear in my head, but it’s quite hard to put into words. I will do my best, but I wish I could print the pictures out from my head. Perhaps one day this will be possible.


When I looked up I saw around me a circular wall made up of five levels of repeating identical arches. Each arch was wide enough for one person, and was around 3 metres high. It was reminiscent of the outer wall of the Colosseum. Straight ahead of me on the fourth level was a space, about 2 or 3 arches wide, with large black speakers in it, which were playing very loud house music. Every arch on either side of this space had a person in it. There were about 40 or 50 of them in total. Each person was trapped in a puppet costume made of polyester; the kind you make toys out of, or travel pillows for neck support. Everyone looked identical, the same height and weight, as if they were squashed or stretched into their costume. Nonetheless, I somehow knew who the people in the costumes were: they were all friends of mine.


They were all repeating exactly the same simple dance in synchronisation. The costumes were making them dance against their will, and despite their exhaustion they could not stop.


When they saw me wake up, one of them shouted out, “Help us, we are all dying of starvation!”


Some had already died, but were still dancing.


I was shouting, “Where is Sabrina?”


One person replied, “She is not here she’s already dead, as is everyone else in the whole world. It’s only us left.”


I was very upset at that point, but I could not do anything as I was restrained. Eventually everyone died, but carried on dancing. I was the only person left alive in the whole world. In the end, I also perished.

    Jeez thats nasty. Cant imagine what you were going through back then - no wonder it spilled over into your dreams! Your dream kinda gives me the chills man - properly. Guess at least it contains dancing. Wonder who controlled the puppets costumes? Maybe best not to think about it....

    well that was pretty terrifying! You are right, it would make a good ending to a horror film, or some weird and eccentric programme like Hammer House of Horrors. It would certainly have the effect of staying with the viewer long after the film had finished (thanks for that! I look forward to bedtime.....) The description was very evocative, I can see the scene clearly. What do you make of it? Is it a reflection on feelings of helplessness?

The Quantum Sausage

Hallucination date - 10th April 2017 It was about 3 in the morning and I’m not sure if I was awake or asleep, but I was in bed talking to the HCA (Healthcare Assistant), as I often did. In fact, I used to talk to him for hours about silly things. This time, I saw a silver sausage-shaped thing floating above my bed. I was scared of it because I thought it was a quantum sausage, and if it touched me I would be sucked into a parallel universe. I was saying to the HCA, “Wheel my bed out of my room please because there’s a quantum sausage in here, and I don’t want it to touch me. Please, please, wheel me out of here!” I knew the bed could be moved in an emergency, which I considered this to be. I could see out of the windows that it was sunny outside and there were gardens with green fields and trees. This is where I wanted to go because I would be safe there - in the confined space of my room the quantum sausage would float into me more easily, whereas outside there was more ...

  My girlfriend and I were working in a bank in switzerland, it should be a very secure place where money could be kept safely but as you will see it is not very secure, luckily we get away with it unscathed. Read on to find out more…  I was working in a bank called ‘The first bank of Switzerland’. We would drive our car down a small driveway, park the car and get out. We would take the key from under a plant pot where we kept it for safekeeping, we would get the key and open the back door. I was a girl and I was with my girlfriend, we went into the bank and we started counting the money we made the day before. All of a sudden, two armed bank robbers came in and said ‘Give me all the money you have there” We pressed a special button under the counter and bulletproof shutters came down very quickly and the police were called automatically. Armed police cars came, you could not tell they were police cars because they were unmarked and the police were wearing normal clothes. They...

Life as a blue octopus

  This is a dream about me being an octopus, my life, and what it is like to be a creature underwater. This is a nice dream.  Please put your comments on the blog. If you don’t, I would like your permission to move them.  Octopus-  I was born a blue octopus, which is very rare. My Mum gave me the name of the blue gladiator,  ‘Spartacus’ which meant I was very strong and powerful. I was abandoned and left to go my own way. I did not like this and promised myself I would never do this to my offspring when I was old enough to meet a mate. I met ‘Trixanella’ and she was also a blue octopus. I loved the way she caught her prey and I fell in love with her straight away. I went and talked to her using the octopus sign language. It was obvious she felt the same way, so we got married and made love quite quickly and she fell pregnant.  She had six little blue children. She promised to look after them and fend off any predators. We both felt the same way about the si...
