Dreams Friends
By JB Hubbell

Dreams - what do they mean?
Last night I dremt of a huge river
friends
the river swallowing my friends
I rescue one, it's hard
Later the others appear again, in the end, mysteriously.

Am I worried I will lose the friends I have?
But then reminded that with effort I will not?
They may go away for a long time, but if I look and wait, they'll always be there.

In the dream, two male friends drown, one in winter, ice.
Big river.
Dale sleeping on a large rock, sunning.
I see a wall of water coming, I can't tell her, I feel helpless.
She falls in just behind the wall as it passes her.
I can see her at the bottom, laying there, helpless.
I hesitate, why?
Another person is with me, I think my sister.
I go in, I find another person near the surface, struggling,
I push this person out to my sister.
I dive deep, I pull Dale up,
She's pale, still, dead.
I begin rescue breathing, she wakes, we are happy.
Time passes, we walk down the river,
We find others, they have fallen in, struggled and been rescued,
We are happy, we rejoice with them.
I wake up.
