Dream about Being Shot November 14, 1999
In this dream I found myself in the middle of a revolution. I cannot say which country I was in or what the fighting was about, but there was a great deal of tension and fear all around me.
On this day I was walking down the road to meet someone but could not make my way because of the angry crowd in front of me. They were mostly scared and just trying to get away from the soldiers that were coming towards them. Rather than going with the crowd I stood still and let them move around me, coming face to face with a woman who appeared to be the leader of the violent group. She was in something that reminded me of a chariot and she had a gun which she was pointing at me.
I became frozen with fear and could not escape, my feet would not move. She shot me. The bullet entered on the right side of my chest, I believe going into my lung. I fell to my knees and could not move. I tried to talk but could not make my mouth work. I felt myself separate from my body, watching my actions from behind myself.
The next thing I remember I was sitting on a doctors table and the bullet was being removed. The bullet was long and thin and still very shiny, completely whole as if it had never been fired. The pain in my chest told me otherwise.
This was when I woke up. I remember feeling the pain in my chest for a long time after waking as if it had been a true experience on some level. Although in ways it was a similar experience to the night I was stabbed in the heart, the after effect was not as strong, the emotional connection not the same. But still to this day I will occasionally feel the phantom pain where I felt the bullet go in.
“…How had Che died? He had been captured Sunday night, the army said; he was mortally wounded and had died early Monday morning. Impossible, the doctors said. Che died from wounds in the heart and both lungs, around noon Monday, five or six hours before he was brought to Vallegrande. What conclusion must one draw? —that Che had been coolly executed after his capture…”
