A Journey Through Chaos and Fear
In this dream, I was traveling with my ex-husband whom in the dream is my current husband. We’re traveling on Air France and running late for our flight. We are rushing on one of those conveyor belts and he hopped from one to the other and has a pretty bad fall and hits the back of his head. From The back of his head a part of his skull about 3 cm diameter is dislodged and it’s sort of smashed. I hold his head in my left hand to support him and try console him. He is very disoriented and turning over and over on the floor when I want him to be still. I’m trying to keep him still so his injuries don’t become worse. Then I’m seeking out medical attention and I was gonna dial 911 but I hear in an overhead announcement that you have to call 01100 in order to get emergency assistance in this foreign country. After dialing 911 to no avail, in frustration, I hang up the phone and dial 01100 and the person on the other line speaks French and I am saying over and over again on anglais (French for English). eventually, they understand what I’m asking for and I say I need help, but I don’t know where I am and all I say is Air France in English. Eventually help comes and they sort of fold up my very long lengthy husband in half like a rag doll and attempt to put him on a big string bass instrument in its case instead of on a flat gurney. Now we are on a bus. I insist that they put them on a flat surface which they do and at that point, he goes unconscious. When he is unconscious my husband’s left half of his face looks dead and fixed, like the beaten face of Emmett Till. And the right half of his face bloody and his eye is fixed and staring but not seeing anything. Then the dream it switches to another part of the dream and I’m in a hospital and I am looking for my husband. a doctor comes to me and says that my husband is in a coma. I ask if he’s alive and the doctor says that he is alive but that he is at a different hospital but he recommends that my husband be transferred to the hospital we are in now as it has higher level of care and my husband should have an operation. Next there is a group of people who are present and waiting for service at this hospital. I notice that my credit cards are missing from my wallet and then find them with an older white women’s stuff. I accuse this older woman of stealing from me and her son explains that she doesn’t know what she’s doing as she has dementia. so we become sort of friends and form sort of a group to watch out for each other in this strange sort of partially inhabited and under construction hospital. And suddenly this young man’s mother goes missing, and it is found that there are a few women that are being sexually abused by residents (some mental patients and some doctors) of this hospital, who we find and fight off the perpetrators. And then I lose touch with my new friends. And I’m looking for my husband and and I can’t find him. And one the perpetrators start to come after me with ill intentions or intentions of raping me. And then I wake up.
