Yet Another Dream

In my neighborhood, there is a physically retarded child. I have never spoken to him, but always see him standing outside the apartment complex down the street, pointing at the cars as they drive by. When it's hot out, he is only in shorts. When it is cold out, he rarely has a coat on. One night, recently, it was midnight and chilly out. The child, probably around 10 or 12 years old, was outside with no coat on, and a short sleeved shirt. These are facts.

I dreamt about this kid. He was much smaller in size, and in age. He was ass down in the bottom of a barrel with his feet and arms pointed up the sides of the barrel. He was wearing a diaper and a blue coat with white fur around the coat. He said in a very childlike voice "I'm cold". There were several people, along with me, standing around the barrel looking down at the child. No one wanted to put their hands into the barrel to pull him out. He said again, "I'm cold". Again, no one helped, yet they all stood around talking about what should be done. Then, it was like he changed his mind. He said "I'm sleepy". I told him that I would put him in a bed if he promised not to bite me.

Next, I had the child with my hands under each armpit, holding him away from my body so that he would not bite me. His legs were wrapped extremely tight around my waist. I was carrying him up the stairway to an apartment of mine. I got up the first flight of stairs when something happened. He was gone.

I don't know what happened to him. Today, another dose of reality; the child was not out in his usual spot. Instead, there was an overweight physically retarded overweight girl. I've never seen her before. Hmmm..... odd.

These dreams are intense. I have had so many dreams lately, and sometimes I can only remember fragments. It's getting weird. I've thought about hypnosis, but not sure I'm ready to go that far yet. We'll see if things get worse or not.
