A Dream of Fate vs. Free Will

Posted in Life on October 30, 2007 by Jennifer

I had a very strange and disturbing dream last night. I dreamed that I died in a plane crash.  That was just the beginning of the slumbered adventure.  I saw Atropos disguised as the pilot.  He gave the signal with his hand as I watched through the cockpit window.  It all happened so fast.

I saw the wreckage afterwards.  The pile up of cars, the ambulances, the blood, people screaming in horror and running amok.  I wandered slowly and unnoticed through the crowd.  I had a book that I had lost in the wreckage, and although I misplaced the reason for its importance, I knew that I needed to find it.

It was another passenger who informed me that we were dead, but I didn’t want to listen.  I was still here, among the living dead, for a purpose.  I just needed to find it. I knew the answer would be written in the lost book.

I found the book, still wrapped in its brown paper and twine bow, lying unscathed on the sidewalk.  After ripping off its sheath, I was surprised to find that each and every page was… blank.

I awoke with a feeling of overwhelming emptiness, no direction, and no where to go.

Blank Pages. What does it mean?!  Am I having an inner conflict about Fate vs. Free Will?
