It's not very often that I have a dream that I find scary, but
in this one I was really afraid, so I thought I would post it
here just because of how strange it was.
I was in a doctor's office, as if I had just had a routine
checkup, and it seemed like there was something wrong,
but they weren't sure what to do about it. Then a surgeon
comes in, a lady about my age with a fairly thick Slavic
accent. She reminded me very much of someone who used
to work in the building I work in; someone who was always
very friendly that I enjoyed talking with. It seems that she
was a heart surgeon, and wanted to do some emergency
heart operation on me. She was talking about it as if the
others were not willing to do this because they thought it
was too risky, but she felt that it was an emergency and I
really needed this procedure to save my life.
I felt very afraid, and did not want to let her do the operation.
Everything seemed wrong. I was just laying on the table
in the typical examination room, and she wanted to do the
procedure right then and there. She had this huge needle in
her hand, and was all ready to thrust it into my heart, saying
she had to hurry before it was too late. I kept trying to talk
her into slowing down and explaining what she was going to
do and why. She kept insisting that I needed this to save my
life, and that 'they' would stop her if they found out, so she
needed to hurry. This went on for several minutes; me stopping
her right before she thrust the needle into my heart as I tried
to get her to explain.
Again, everything seemed wrong. She was going to do this
completely on her own; there was no anesthesiologist, and
no one else to assist her. When I asked, she said she did
not need any help with this, and I had to let her do this
right now before it was too late, and she seemed to feel
this incredible sense of urgency about it. All the while I
was just terrified. After several minutes of this I finally
awoke feeling very strange and anxious.
My dreams are usually very casual and almost never
do I dream about anything frightening. This one really
stands out as being completely unusual in every way.
I haven't tried a concious dream re-entry in a long time,
but that's something I've had some success with before.
I feel very tempted to try to re-enter this dream tonight to
see if I can get this surgeon to slow down and explain to
me what she was wanting to do and why. I'm usually really
good at taking shots, and the needles don't bother me at
all, but in this dream I was just mortified at the thought of
her sticking that huge needle right into my heart.
Anyone else ever have a similar dream? This was just
completely unlike my usual dreams.
