I woke up last night from the oddest dream...

I had this incredible dream last night, wait, night before last. You know how in your dreams there’s this neuron that acts as location scout? I was climbing this mountain, there was nothing distinct other than that it was a big icy snowy mountain, but the location neuron said it was Mt. Ranier in Washington, which is weird because on my recent drive down the west coast I saw Mt. Hood and Mt. Shasta, the other two huge volcanic mountains but was never far enough north to see Ranier. So anyway, point is I was climbing Mt. Ranier.

Side note, you know those dreams that are so real, you’re still totally in the mood they’ve put you in when you wake up, and it takes you a few minutes to reason your self back into reality? This was one of those.

Back to the vivid unmistakably real dream: So I’m climbing, I’ve got my crampons and ice axe and the whole bit when all of a sudden I fall through this huge crevasse. If you don’t know the mountain man lingo, a crevasse is basically an ice cave or hole that is usually covered w/ ice and snow so you don’t really know it’s there.

So as I’m falling time is starting to pass, enough time to realize that when I hit the bottom, wherever that ends up being, I’m going to die. At first there was the darkest feeling of dread. But, immediately after there was this feeling of acceptance and then relief and them calm. It was as if I had accepted I was going to die and was totally content with it.

Some people say dreams are just incoherent brain dumps, some say they mean things. There’re biblical references of God communicating to people through dreams, so who knows what all this means, but I will say I was really glad that I was ok with it when the time came to die, I think I will be, but not just yet, I’ve got a lot to do. Knocking on wood now, you always hear stories about people that had some sort of realization or conversation about death just before they die. Weird.

I had that same experience once. It was a blood moon so the moon was all red. I was staring at it and all of a sudden had this panic feeling of "this is what it could be like when the earth dies". I thought of family and friends who were far away. I then had the awesome feeling of being ok if that was it for my life. Good feeling.
