We never think it'll happen to us... or to someone we know. This only happens on TV, or to people in the mid-West like Michigan or Kentucky. But when it does hit home (prayerfully, it won't), what would you do??
Had a disturbing dream last night -- I was trying to move our Odyssey and park our Civic into a parking spot. So while trying to park the Civic, I left the kids in the van with the car running. After parking the Civic, I come out of the car and the van is gone. Even in my dream... I'm vividly thinking: "No. This isn't happening. Wake up! This is a dream!" But I couldn't wake up.
I run up and down the streets - screaming, "HELP! SOMEONE CALL 9-1-1. MY KIDS HAVE BEEN KIDNAPPED!"
I struggle to get my phone out to call. It was a Samsung, not an iPhone. I try dialing 9-1-1, but I kept fumbling. 6-1-1. 9-2-2. After 3 tries.... I finally went to Emergency Phone call mode.
Got on the line... had a voice on the other side and I told him, "I'd like to report a kidnapping."
The voice says, "There's been about 10 calls on board already."
I thought, "Cool... other people did call in when I was screaming my head off."
Then I said, "My kids have been kidnapped. They're in a greg Honda Odyssey."
The voice says, "There's a lot of those."
I said, "License plate starts with a 6. That's all I remember."
Not sure what happened after that...... psychologists say we forget about 90% of our dreams every night.
What is the dream trying to tell me?? Is there some meaning behind it? Do I take it at face value?
