Last night I had a dream that I was in the desert with Amber, stranded in a dry sand storm with the faintest hint of a ruling castle in the distance. At some point, a dark figure approach me and there was a struggle, after which I was stabbed at the top of my left thigh, right about where my front pocket would be. As I write this I can still feel a real burning sensation in that area of my leg.
After being stabbed, Amber and I were left alone in the dunes, and huddled in a large burlap sack. I expected to die and had plans to just wait out my death. At the very last moment, I regained my will to live and I got up to start walking towards the castle, Amber following behind.
Very shortly we came across a lively modern carnival, and immediately I went to the medical facilities on the premises. I walked up to a counter and said “I’ve been stabbed”. The woman working the counter gasped a bit, and had a man take me to a back room where he inspected my wound. It was smaller than I imagined, not bleeding, though deeply infected and full of yellow chunks like couch cushion stuffing.
After I was bandaged, Amber and I walked out of the carnival, where she asked the woman guarding the entrance for a hair tie. The woman said “You’re the seventh person who’s asked for a rubber band”. The woman had her son run back into the shack and fetch one. As we walked out into the street with the crowd, I noticed rapidly generating cloud formations that were shaped like bird footprints in the sand. Then I noticed large ice crystals falling from the sky. The word “chemtrails” hushed among the crowd. I picked up one of the contaminated crystals, and saw that they weren’t just solid ice but actually small branches with barely fruited blossoms and large decorative seeds completely covered in frozen crystals.

Wound in thigh:
(Gen 32:22-31 NRSV) The same night he got up and took his
two wives, his two maids, and his eleven children, and
crossed the ford of the Jabbok. {23} He took them and sent
them across the stream, and likewise everything that he had.
{24} Jacob was left alone; and a man wrestled with him until
daybreak. {25} When the man saw that he did not prevail
against Jacob, he struck him on the hip socket; and Jacob’s
hip was put out of joint as he wrestled with him. {26} Then
he said, “Let me go, for the day is breaking.” But Jacob
said, “I will not let you go, unless you bless me.” {27} So
he said to him, “What is your name?” And he said, “Jacob.”
{28} Then the man said, “You shall no longer be called Jacob,
but Israel, for you have striven with God and with humans,
and have prevailed.” {29} Then Jacob asked him, “Please tell
me your name.” But he said, “Why is it that you ask my name?”
And there he blessed him. {30} So Jacob called the place
Peniel, saying, “For I have seen God face to face, and yet my
life is preserved.” {31} The sun rose upon him as he passed
Penuel, limping because of his hip. {32} Therefore to this
day the Israelites do not eat the thigh muscle that is on the
hip socket, because he struck Jacob on the hip socket at the
thigh muscle.
