there was another apocalypse-type event, with sea monsters this time. the setting was some sort of futuristic looking island. some of the properties were on the tops of high rise buildings, but most of them were close to sea level, really not very far from the water. i had to travel from place to place a bit, checking on friends and relatives. it made me nervous to be out in the open sometimes, because the sea monsters seemed intelligent and may have had the aid of some kind of alien technology.
for a while i was taking care of my nephew, and being very protective of him because of the sea monsters.
at some point i caught the attention of one of the sea creatures and had to run. the creature took chase and definitely meant to kill me. unfortunately the only place i could go was an underground cave system, which was very small for a human to get through, but had been originally created for the creatures. this gave the creature an obvious advantage over me, and i scrambled as fast as i could deeper into the narrow cave system. there were many many turns as if i was encased in some kind of a 3-d puzzle, and i began to fear i may not find a way out. then i found a small cubby in one of the caves, i could barely squeeze into it and close the door, and immediately focused on breathing slower and more quietly so the creature might not find me. as i began to think i may have evaded the creature and had a chance to escape, then i became more aware of how tightly enclosed all the spaces were around me and how deep into the cave system i'd gone, and began to panic and hyperventillate, and to worry that panicking and hyperventillating might prevent me from being able to escape the caves before i somehow died, possibly by running out of air or being found again by that creature.

this is the internet conversation of me explaining this dream to my friend Martin.
Cato:
i had a dream last night that i was supposed to go on a long trip with you on a motorcycle, and two people my brain made up were going with us on another motorcycle.
the trip seemed really dangerous, mostly because we were going to be on motorcycles in the snow, but my mom seemed to be pushing me to go, mostly so she could clean my stuff out of my room.
but then i realized that Josh was not going with us. i tried to imagine saying goodbye to him and i couldn't do it, so i realized i really couldn't go.
then, as soon as i realized i couldn't go, suddenly i was in the back seat of a van that was going backwards down a long stretch of road, very very fast.
i was the only one in the van, and for some reason i couldn't crawl over the seats to the controls.
and my dad was chasing after it on foot, somehow almost keeping up, even tho i was going very very dangerously fast.
Martin:
probably because it was a vessel to take you back. Your dad because he's motorcycle dude. My guess.
Cato:
then i opened the door next to me, and my dad shouted something like "NO YOU ARE NOT DOING THAT" and caught up with the van, and pushed on one side of it with his hand, which sent the van spiraling into a field until it slowed down and stopped.
Martin:
weirdly nifty
Cato:
i was thinking about jumping out of the door when i opened it, but when my dad protested at how suicidal that was and started running faster, i stopped and waited to see what he was going to do.
Additional Comments:
Martin:
what does it mean to you?
Cato:
i think opening the door and planning to jump out is an obvious reference to being suicidal
Martin:
Sounds like it
Cato:
the vehicle i was in was completely out of my control and being dangerous, and i was unsure of what would happen if i stayed in it
so, metaphor for life?
Martin:
sounds like how you have in the past referred to yourself and your emotions
yeah
Cato:
my dad expressed a desire to keep me alive, and exerted energy to accomplish that.
so i waited to see if he could.
Martin:
i also think it showed anxiety about your relationhip because it wasn't till you expressed desire to not leave josh that the van incident started.
Cato:
exactly
Martin:
but your dad showing up tells me you don't think it is hopeless
Cato:
he did manage to stop the van from being dangerous.
Martin:
exactly, and stop you from suicide as well

i remember some jumbled up stuff about a bunch of abusive guys that turned into one abusive guy? i chased him down (at mcdonalds?) and got in a knife fight with him. i don't know why, but i seemed to be blocking AND stabbing with my left hand. (not my dominant hand.) he was easier to fight than i had expected, i had been ready to die fighting him, but i only ended up with several cuts on my hands and wrists. i stabbed him in the chest at least three times, and killed a woman in order to get to him. i think my brain made her evil so i'd feel better about it. anyway the guy got away, he had a posse with him that drove white vans, like four or five of them, so i began chase immediately on my bicycle. i seemed to know where they were going and had to get there to kill them before they could kill their target.
