2 Dreams

These are two dreams I really had last night, one after the other. Each one “stars” two people of the same sex. 

Dream #1 

Two men are in a cave. The cave is so vast, they never touch walls or ceiling. They just keep walking, staying near each other by the sound of their voices. They are extremely scared they will never get out.

They finally do emerge into the light, to a crowd of reporters and gawkers. They fall to their knees and sob, ignoring everyone. 

Dream #2 

Two women sit amid the smoking wreckage of their homes and neighborhood. They are arguing with each other about something. They are covered in dust and soot, utterly disheveled. One finally has enough of the other, and she picks up a broken chunk of concrete and throws it her neighbor, who ducks and it misses.
