through time in one place

Date: 12/19/2016

It began in a green field. Children were playing ball-- maybe a park. There were two depressions in the ground. As I wondered what made them, suddenly I was observing the death of a strange alien elephant. His body created the depressions. A large rock was to the left. and, as before, I was transported into a new place. An female elf was speaking to two children, also elves, about kindness to each other and kindness to the land. They walked to the left where there had been grass terraces through all parts of the dream. They sat down, and suddenly the scene was of an ancient stone amphitheatre. The grass terraces no longer were covered with grass but were stone benches built into the hill. Men with wings, fairies, were deciding which stone children (little stone creatures with white raindrop eyes) would be turned into fairies. It seemed to be a big decision. Periodically, thousands of bats would exit a cave near the trees and fly around our heads. I walked over to the trees and find myself at night with a man who I think was my brother...definitely close friend or family. He said we needed to get home. We came upon a wandering man. The man was a fairy type creature...long wings. We asked him how to get home, and he smiled, pointed a direction past a lake, over the trees. He said it wasn't far just "head that way." The man with me asked if there was a path around the lake. The stranger looked at us funny, and said, "yes, it's very simple. go that way." We walked around the lake, but the only path diappeared into the water. I said, "That man didn't realize we dont have wings! He meant for us to fly!"We began to walk through the water, but I saw there were crocodiles under the surface everywhere. I pulled the man with me out of harms way, but it was too late to save myself. As a crocodile leaped up, I put my arm up defensively, looked at my brother/friend and said,"I'm done." Then I was alone at the edge of the woods. soldiers began pouring out of the woods. I was excited that a path through the woods had been forged for us, but then I saw that my brother/friend was in the ranks of soldiers. He saw me and smiled but it was obvious he couldn't leave the lines. Someone said the general could control anyone and could even convince bears to dance out of the woods. Then a bear did dance out of the woods and join the ranks. Then a man dressed as a bear, as a joke came out. He saw there was a real bear and became terrified. He turned into a bear cub and clung to the other bear. As soon as I realized it was the mama bear, I knew the bear was me. I became the bear and everything ended.
