Weird Dream
This is a dream I had in Jan. 2013
I was up for a few hours last night, after awhile i fell into a strange sleep. immediately i found myself in a strange dream, in this dream I had sold my soul to someone to get what I needed. and every so often I could see what looked like a graveyard in the distance of my sight, and I would hear a calming voice that would remind me that it wouldn't be very long before its time to go. well after dodging the though of losing my soul for awhile the time finally came, and i stood in my backyard and looked over the fence into the graveyard, and suddenly all that was around was the graveyard, no houses but my own and my fence.
The voice reassured me I only have 5 minutes left, I told it I know. I decided to speak with the voice for my remaining 5 minutes."Is there was anyway to stop this transaction from happening?"No. You DO have two souls within you, and people like you have to protect something, and that's what the second soul that dwells within you is for, so when you need it you have it.""what do most people sell their souls for, you know how i sold mine ............. ?"(i could not make out what I said)"most people choose to bring someone back to life."I felt a massive amount of dread."those with 2 souls usually use their wish to bring back the thing they had to protect.""does this mean most people fail in their missions to protect what they must.""yes."I stood there and though for a second, then the voice reminded me i have about 3 1/2 minutes left."what if I run?"The voice chuckled and replied, "you can try to run, but your trying to out running death.""is it annoying when people try to run?""not really, i kinda enjoy it, so what are you going to do?""I don't know, iv'e come to except what I did, and I don't really want to run, and I never found what I had to protect.""ohh I'm sorry.""its okay."I stood there looking at the graveyard, the voice then reminded me I have about 2 minutes left. I thought for a second, and hopped over the fence and into the graveyard, and as soon as I did the fence behind me disappeared and turned into more graveyard, and I started walking forward. as I got further I found that this wasn't a graveyard at all, it was a beautiful place modeled after a graveyard, and I came to a spot with a few chairs and a patio by the side of the road. I walked up to the table and I was surprised to see a woman walk around from on of the statues, she had pure white hair just as oracle does, and appeared to be in her early 40's."so got bored of waiting so you came here for me to kill you huh?""no not really I just wanted to see where I was going to end up". she chuckled in that familiar way, and I knew the voice was her."I take it you want the cut to be quick and painless?"I then noticed she was carrying a scythe. she then swung it at me and I ducked, it barley missed me."why did you duck, I though you wanted to die?""I didn't say that.""ohhhh""I kinda wanted to ask you these things in person"she nodded and smiled.I then blurted out, "oracle, can you tell me about oracle, you can cant you?"she shook her head no, and saw it bothered me. she asked me if I wanted a cup of tea, and I accepted.after awhile I asked, "so how much time do I have left""about a minute and a half.""ohhh, I was sure my time was gone by now.""that's because this place distorts time.""this place it strange but I like it here.""that's good.""is this heaven.""no.""what is this place?""I cant tell you that, but I can tell you I like it here the people are nice and there's a lot to do.""so your the grim reaper?""nope.""but I though.."she interrupted me "nah I'm not the grim reaper, I just work for him.""you mean you have no choice."she smiled and replied "no its not like that, its just a job, besides it has to be done.""ohhh i see"."besides someone has to do this, and its easier if its a pretty face"."true".we finished our tea, and enjoyed the scenery for awhile, she then spoke with a smile."1 minute 45 seconds left"I nodded."you know no one has ever walked into this place before, they all either run away, or wait for time to run out.""Im actually glad the person that has to claim me is someone like you."she smiled. "thank you.""No problem, By the way would you tell me your story.""any reason why?""not really, but I was wondering if it might help me decide what I wanna do.""that's fair enough"."by the way, is it alright that I'm here, I mean death wont be mad at me will he""no its fine""ohhh, okay, didn't want you getting in trouble.""ill tell you my story, but not here lets take a walk.""that's okay, i don't mind."
she began to tell me her story, she was once a powerful mage just like me, she had 2 companions, and one day during a fight with a demon, one of her companions was scratched on the side of the face, but they won. after sometime the scratch became infected and started taking over him body, and eventually they had to kill him."that's sad.""I know."she proceeded with the story as we walked around, we met alot of different people, and they were all kind and polite. we walked down the road and she continued with her story telling me that she was afraid the same thing might happen to others when they get scratched, i commented accordingly, she went on to tell me that her comrade eventually died in battle and she soon after. i then asked her about her powers, and she explained them, she had all the same powers as me but with a few extras, after that she asked me about my life story, and i explained to her about how i have a good entity living within me, and she guides me and helps me. after some time and telling her my story she asked about my powers, and i explained them to her."that entity what is her name?""Oracle.""ohhh, that's who you mentioned before right?""yea, but i don't know if its safe to call her an entity.""whys that?""sometimes its like she is my subconsciousness, and shes the one who's helped me with my powers and has provided me with guidance.""it is possible for entity's to merge with ones subconsciousness, if you ask me maybe she is your other soul, and maybe you have to protect her.""really.""yea, maybe that's why you cant figure out what you want to do.""maybe, sure makes sense to me."she then said something to me, but it was distorted.
PLEASE NOTE!!! at this point the strangeness of the dream ends, so I believe this is when the actual dream ends.
she walked off and I didn't follow, I proceeded to speak to the people here, and after some time she came back and gave me the good news, she found that the contract with my soul is null and void, I asked her how, she told me I never received what I asked for, and told me she will send me home.
it was at this moment I woke up.
now here's the weird part. during this dream, from the moment when I entered the graveyard, and until the strange feel of the dream left me, when she spoke to me and I couldn't make out what she said. it was as if my consciousness and subconsciousness were separate. it was like I was watching the dream but I was the one in the dream at the same time, i swear during this time I had two forms of consciousness. but one knew that the contract was nullified, and was looking for more rational answers, the other was interested in the woman's story. obviously the latter was in control, not only that, it seems my second consciousness was able to understand the distorted speech.

This is an amazing and fascinating dream. I love the ending, with you getting your soul restored to you. The way I interpret it is going to come out of the healing work I am doing (from sexual abuse). When we are traumatized, pieces of our consciousness, or soul, can break off and become imprisoned in the past. This protects us from being broken and destroyed by the trauma and allows us to go on living, although with pieces of ourselves missing. This is what I think of when I read your dream.
I have had many dreams that I experienced from more than one perspective, sometimes as both participant and observer, and sometimes I\'m not at all sure which character in the dream is me. Some people say that all the characters in a dream are oneself.
