I had a dream the other night that I was Batman, but I wasn't regular Batman.
As I entered into the bank to stop the "bad guys", I caught them, but also grabbed a few bags of money. I took them back to my Batman residence which happened to be in the middle of a city. I released them and gave them the bags of money.
I wanted to stop them from their life of crime. Understanding their poverty and need for the money made me help them.
Of course, they didn't understand. I was Batman, and so they tried to attack me after I released them. But they couldn't beat me, I would constantly dodge and disappear. Eventually they accepted things as they were. I kept doing this over and over again. Helping criminals by catching them as they were surrounded by police and whisking them away to my inner city Bruce Wayne residence where I would release them and give them their stolen goods.
No one got hurt, and because of my intervention they would never get caught. For all intents and purposes, I was the one committing the criminal acts. I was Batman, so I was above the law.
The criminals would leave with their loot, often more than they were intending, knowing they would never have to steal again. Everyone won.
The city was saved.
It was a strange dream. I felt so at peace and zen. I was one with the criminals, and they were me. Beating them up and sending them to prison would do nothing for my soul.
Every time I released the criminals, it was like releasing wild animals. The wild animals don;t know you are releasing them, you cannot explain it to them, they cannot understand you, and just see you as "the Batman" - that thing they fight. But eventually we got beyond that. We ended the cycle of suffering.
I had a really scary dream last night. I was lost in the underground. I had to force myself awake as we just went deeper and deep, following muddy foot prints through a labyrinth of carpeted corridors and rooms... we were looking for someone, but eventually I realized I was being pulled down further and further. I was glad to wake up. I'll incorporate that into Ghost Grave, a Steem exclusive novel I am producing on the fly.
Hope you enjoyed the dreamsharing. Don't forget to share your dreams with the tag - dreamshare.
