Hello gentle Reader.

In the dream I was with a small group of people, friends I think, in New York City.

Something terrible was occurring throughout the city; madness had taken hold of practically every citizen (although some might argue that it would be difficult to discern the difference). There was a man, a strange man, with dark hair, in his late 20’s or early 30’s perhaps, who was the source of this insanity. Somehow he had the entire population (pretty much) in a thrall; they were completely captivated by him and seemed to be worshiping him as one might a god.

The group of friends I was with, along with myself, were caught in the swell of hundreds and hundreds – if not millions of New Yorkers who had taken to the streets, following this seemingly diabolical Pied Piper. At first, we were seemingly captivated, too. But I found myself stopping in my tracks, shaking my head.

“This is wrong,” I said. “Something about this isn’t right,” I told my companions. Let’s go back the other way,” I suggested, for the Strange Man appeared to be leading the multitudes towards Hudson Bay.

My companions agreed, seeming to be able to shake off the hypnotic-like thrall upon my suggestion. We turned round and made our way along the broad and eerily deserted streets, leaving behind us the chanting, enraptured throngs.

’What is He doing?’ I wondered to myself, and paused to look back round. I found a horrific sit; thousands of people seem to be storing the various skyscrapers. Making their way to the roof, they lined up hundreds of bodies deep around the top of countless buildings, and then – like lemmings – wave after wave of bodies flung themselves from these buildings and plummeted, screaming in horror, to the pavement below. The bodies piled up in torn and shattered fragments, forming grisly mountains of death.

“Oh my God… He’s killing them… He’s going to kill all of them,” I realised. “That’s why He’s leading them to the bay…. He’s going to make them all jump in and drown themselves… We have to stop Him!” I cried.

At this point, I seemed to then rise above the dream, and had an aerial view of the city of New York; below me it seemed to be teeming with ants, but the sad fact was I was watching countless numbers of people throwing themselves off of skyscrapers. In one pocket of the city, I could see the figure of a man: Him. Behind Him a great crowd followed him to the edge of the bay…. At which point I woke up.

Very disturbing dream… though I have absolutely no idea what it could mean.
