dreams

 As I dreamt my heart sank, I was aware that once again Heath was playing a significant role in this dream. Why does he still haunt my dreams? I haven't spoken with him in more than a month, maybe even two now. 

The dream story was one that I tried to hold on to, when I woke up. Wanting to write it down, or continue it further in dream state.  I successfully dreamt more, but things changed. 

The storyline of the initial dream was Heath and I exploring a cavern river. There were alligators in the water, but they weren't much concerned with us. We got separated, and an alarm sounded. I hurried up to where he was, but the walls had changed, there was a small window to see into the next area, but I was too big to fit through that narrow opening. I went back to the entrance to find help. The river was now no longer there, just a muddy bottom floor. I met some other people- a mom and her son looking for the dad. Their story was that they had been coming here every week for the past year- because last year he had disappeared in the caverns as well when the walls changed.  We decided to help eachother find our lost people. 

As we went back down the dried up river corridor again to where I lost Heath, there was a creature hanging from the ceiling. "Give me 10 dollars" it said, "and I'll tell you how to find him."  We all scrounged through our pockets looking for cash. We found a $10 bill and I reached up and it grabbed it in it's mouth and ate it.  "You are looking for the King. The Prince has been found to replace him. They must fight to the death. You may fight in their stead if you wish them to leave." Through the window I glimpsed a man, and I knew immediately that this was the dad and the King. 

The story line got a bit trippy after this,  it turned out that the son/dad had somehow freaky friday'd it, so the "son" was able to guide us through the cavern that's walls changed, and around the weird beasts that he'd become king over during his year in this cave. 

Heath was no longer really part of the story, he'd disappeared. He was still the Prince, and would become King when we freed the son/dad. 

I woke up before the story ended.
