Gallows

I forgot which night this happened but it was a pretty scary dream. I wouldn't consider it a nightmare, but it really made me think.


I became a wanted criminal for doing something that was heavily against the law. I think it was drug trafficking? I ran and ran on this imaginary plain and ended up at some HDB flats. I had a handphone with me and I called my girlfriend. She came down, gave me a hug and I parted unhappily. After that, I think in my dream sense, I found out that the government found out where I was with my phone call. Then, suddenly, there were special forces around the place I was. What surprised me was that they didn't spot me for a while until I bumped into one of them. I ran and jumped away, only to find that another group of them cornering me. They shot a gas grenade at me and I blacked out.

Then I ended up in some sort of restaurant-like place. My family members were all there, sitting on different tables. But they looked as if like they were at home! My dad was reading a newspaper, my mother was sewing, and my grandma was just moping around. Then, some police officer took me up a narrow staircase at the side of the restaurant, and into a small room which resembled a small cathedral. The cross of Christ wasn't at the front, but rather, a gallow. And there were a bunch of people in the seats who I didn't seem to know. Distant relatives I think.

Some mercenary put the rope onto my neck as everyone watched. I was actually much calmer than I expected I would be. It was all a blur after that. Whew.
