Dan's Devastating Death

Date: 3/1/2025

Whoa, I am really dreaming this month wow. I woke up after the climax of this dream shocked and taken aback. I fell back asleep into it as well. This one was vivie as hell but as I've been awake for a while I hope I remember it all. The first part I think we are all at a hootenanny type party, we are drinking and having a good time being together as a friend group. Dan asks I want to branch out from the group and I say yes and we go exploring the city, driving and walking around. It's fun, I have that uneasy feeling that I always have around him because I like him. (Actively trying in real life not to be attracted to people who make me feel unsafe like that). We're going around and he goes into this huge apartment building while I wait in the car. When he comes back, he's like Lianne, you have to check this out. I guess a real estate agent showed him around this apartment building and all of its amenities and he was pumped about it. More like it was a funny thing to do, not like he was interested in getting one of the apartments. I go inside the building and stays in the car now. It's probably like 1am at night at this point and it's dark night outside and spooky kind of weather. The tall circular apartment building looks very standard but has an ominous presence and seems a bit jagged somehow. I go inside and I'm looking around and it's much more like a massive seniors centre. I'm moving slowly and quietly - I don't have a guide like a real estate agent - and there are no lights in the hallways. I think about how people are probably asleep and I don't want to wake them up but I'm also on edge because if these old people would wake up, it wouldn't be a lucid interaction. It would be me running into elderly people who may not know where they are or who they are or how to deal with me because of Alzheimer's or dementia and what have you. So in the nature of why I was sent in, I'm kind of looking for amenities and being shown around (I feel alone and scared though - I'm not sure who's showing me around). I see some of the apartments and then I go into Lauren Galley's specifically. I'm relieved to see someone I know but I'm still whispering, it's still dark and I'm still afraid of running into some half brain old person lol. In Lauren's apartment I can see more of the space, still do dark and also so old. I forgot to mention that part. Definitely clean and functional, but old fashioned and dated furniture and wallpaper, the style was stuffy and unattractive adding to a weird ambiance. The whole building was like that and the apartments were all the same, not exactly the same but all stuffy with weird old style. I saw Lauren doing some of her nursing work and I had a revelation about how great of a nurse she is. I thought maybe I was underestimating her as a person because she was a very efficient nurse. (She works in seniors facilities in real life). Nothing really happens in this building, I'm uneasy, but it's not a nightmare and Lauren and I hang out a bit, I probably tell her about Dan out in the car. I decide to call him because it's now 3am and I kind of wondered what he wanted me to come into this building for. On the phone he sounds mega distressed and I have a vision of two very old steam boats colliding in the harbour. I get the sense that he was on one - just adventuring along like he did in the apartment building. On the phone he sounds like he's in bad shape and I ask him what happened. He's saying things in a casual way but he sounds weak, at the end he says, Lianne, what is my name? And I say it's Dan Braaten worried and he drifts off the phone. I make a run for it, getting out of the building and making my way to the ICU. It's really late and they don't take visitors but they let me through. The vibe in the ICU was more like an emergency room and many people were around, I got to a room where Dan was but it was more like a separate module with windows facing in. 4-5 people were working on him and he was opened at the stomach and fluids were coming out. It seemed like a battle before he just died there on the counter. The line flattened and I left the hospital in total shock. The next little bit was psychological analysis. I thought about my attachment to him, I thought about what I would say to the group, I thought about the massive loss of his personality to the world, I thought of my love, I thought of his love (for someone else)...I was really thinking about it and emotionally I felt devastated. I was distraught but not overly attached. I thought about his spirit being above me in the hospital, knowing everything I was thinking and feeling and me being relieved that he finally knew my inner thoughts without me having to communicate them in real life. I woke up. Falling back asleep I fell back into the dream where after the hospital, I went to McDonald's and spend $34 on all kinds of junk food and also got two $34 gift cards. I wondered in the dream what the significance could be of this number, I am turning 34 this year... I run into a homeless man/street character and I try to ask him about something. I feel like I just need to talk to someone to gain some support and grounding. At first he thinks I want sex and says something inappropriate but then he settles into just a normal character and sits there listening. Another person joins us, I'm not sure who and we sit in my sorrow together. The next scene is with my cousin Renee, she is in a large fancy cabin and is calling me. I'm outside in some water like a pool and I can see her through the glass window when I pick up. She is talking to me about the Dan situation, she asks if I stayed with the doctors to tell them about his family etc. I told her no, that I left because I wasn't close with him like that but I told his girlfriend and she could go deal with it in the morning. Now Renee and I are both outside in the pool with her two girls, I'm holding one, she had the other, they are like 2 years old. I'm holding a baby girl and when I dip her in the water, the water is chocolate and she gets chocolate all on her face but then she is able to lick it. It's like a part of the attraction lol, swimming in chocolate. I'm holding the little girl and hanging out with my cousin as we swim in the sunshine. Many people are around like it is a water park of some kind. The end.
