chase & hunt.
big ogre looking guys.
hiding behind broken wall, under stairs. made myself invisible, but only partially. only the bottom half of me that was exposed.
other (top) half. attacked by snakes. red snakes. like coral snakes but different.
mouth like a cottonmouth. thousands of tiny teeth. latched on. almost chewing. injecting in some chemical venom like electricity that triggered some ancient automatic ritual in me.
next thing. walking somewhere arid. egyptian. down thin streets. to a temple. everywhere i went these red snakes came out of hiding and attacked me. not a malicious attack, but with complete intention. in the same automatic mode.
the temple entrance was ground level. foyer. all white washed. with smooth white steps leading underground into the worshiping area. in the foyer i began gagging on felt like phlegm. thick, viscous liquid. i leaned over to vomit, and a clear stream of it began oozing from my mouth, peppered with millions of small globuals. like fish eggs. transparent balls about the size of peas with small blue bead-like centers. the stream just kept coming making it impossible to breath. it ran down the entire staircase, and flooded the temple beneath.
something drew me down the stairs following the flow. the temple was being used as a daycare. while i was still throwing up the embryonic soup...i gagged out words, commanding that they get all the children out of the building immediately. by the time everyone was out there was a good 6 inches of eggs on the temple floor. next about a half dozen cats entered, and began throwing up kittens....coated in the same clear lubricant. they had a soft, thin cover of fur, but their eyes were still closed. before my eyes they grew to full size, and began throwing up their own babies.
cats, and blue egg soup.
one of the cats jump up and latched onto my wrist in the same manner as the red snakes. bitting on tight with a chewing, sucking, injecting movement. i knelled down watching everything and another cat went for my other wrist, but this one took it's razor sharp claws and made three long incisions lengthwise down the softness of my wrist. both cats released, and blood poured from both my arms, mixing with the eggs on the floor.
the eggs mixture began to crawl and seep into the ground. at the same time a man at the head of the temple rose up out of the floor. dark and egyptian looking with fine features, and that deep, echoy voice. he came to me and helped me up. asking me if there was anything i wanted.
a host of things ran through my head...immortality, riches, fame, success, etc. i said, "to be the healer that i know i am"...he looked strangely at me. replied..."do better each day, and continue with what you're doing". not as profound as i expected, but...simple. sensible. then he began singing some strange rock song...something with the words..."i am jesus at the end of the world. i am jesus at the end of the world". then he began yelling loudly at no one in particular...as if speaking to everyone at once in one loud, commanding voice...."don't change anything! don't change the world! don't change the world!" the feeling was that doing anything excessive or extreme would lead to our end as a human race. or...worse.
