Mothman Flutterings

Dream Fragment: Warning About a Warning

May 2, 2008 on 2:48 pm | In dreams |

For some, like author Andrew Colvin, (Mothman’s Photographer, etc.) much of his Mothman encounters seem to happen with art and images. For myself, it seems to be dreams. Not that I’m a mothman expert or witness, etc.

It’s not surprising that dreams would be a way Mothman messages/meetings/encounters would happen; I’ve always had a vivid and active dream life, considering dreams to be important and helpful.

I haven’t been thinking or reading anything about Mothman the past few days; but last night I had a dream where a group of us at work were looking through a book about Mothman. All the people there (except for myself) were unfamiliar with Mothman. Some may have heard about, or seen the movie, but that was about it as far as being “Mothman literate.”

We’re all finding this book interesting, and we come across a passage about a soon to happen disaster in our area. Something weather related. And everyone took the warning very seriously. We had no reason to doubt the warning.

We were all very concerned, but not worried. I should change that to scared — we weren’t scared. The warning came with the message that there was the potential to avert this disaster; and/or, that if it did happen, it would still be okay. I know that doesn’t make sense but dreams have their own logic.

Walking away from the book, and having just read about something bad to happen in our area, oddly enough didn’t make us feel scared, though we were lost in our thoughts and very concerned. In fact, we were grateful for the warning about the warning. . .

And this is strange: even though there was a “warning about the warning” and some kind of chance to at least try to stop it, or lessen the disaster, we seemed to be almost in a trance; choosing not to bother and preferring to let it happen. It wasn’t merely a case of apathy however. It was a choice. (Again, with the dream logic!)

This is similar to another dream I had about weather and Mothman. Even in the midst of disasters and chaos, there’s some kind of calm.
