The dream this morning had me again at some warm sunny destination. It seems I have won a trip to some island resort. The resort has a huge swimming pool. The pool is as big as a football field. It is the biggest pool I have ever seen. I am looking down at it from my hotel room balcony. I am tempted to jump down into the pool from there as it looks so inviting. Of course, that would be a foolish dangerous thing to do, as I must be at least 5 stories up from it.
I can see some of the other guests in and around the pool from my vantage point. There are two young women swimming side-by-side down the length of the pool, they are about in the middle, when I see two police officers. One officer is tall, dark and professional looking the other is short, stocky and bald. This one is a bad cop. I see him tossing baseballs up in the air and batting them at the girls who are swimming away from them. The girls swim harder and faster to try to avoid getting hit by the flying balls. The cops are chuckling to themselves. Guests around the pool are yelling at them in an attempt to get them to stop. The cops are ignoring their pleas.
This is such an annoying thing to watch. I am on vacation damn it! Why can't I get an escape from all the corruption in this world, just once, and enjoy a good carefree vacation. I wake in a huff.
No surprise I'm dreaming of warmer climes again. Today, it is snowing here in northern Michigan, as I write this, it is our first taste of winter weather. I am psychologically unprepared to deal with it today. I miss summer. It went by too quickly.
The corruption aspect of this dream echoes an incident last night. I was speaking with my old ship mates, that I served with on the U.S. Coast Guard Cutter STORIS, our corrupt government and a failed business man have sold our beloved historic vessel to a Mexican scrap yard! All our efforts to preserve our historic nautical heritage were for naught. This was a painful blow to all of us who worked so hard to save her. The grief felt by all was palpable.
It is a shitty world we have all come to live in these days. Even our dreams are affected by it. I really believe we can't sit idly by when we see corruption in the waking world. I recently heard a man remark about how the spirit world is becoming filled with angry dead terrorists that we have killed in Iraq, Afghanistan and many other places around the global in our "War on Terror". These souls want revenge on us. Perhaps, it is not a good thing that we are being so successful at killing them all, they could be working against us from a place our drones and smart bombs can't reach now. Really something to ponder. Our corrupt government may have created a big boat load of bad karma for us all. The book of Revelations, in the bible, speaks about how nations are going to be held to account for all their sins as well as individuals.
As the Halloween holiday approaches and the veil between the spirit world and our own becomes thinner. It is wise to keep these facts in mind. Although, it may sometimes seem like some folks are escaping the consequences of their actions or inactions, the truth has a habit of manifesting itself eventually in startling and mysterious ways. No man is an island. The collective unconscious will see to that.
