Had a nightmare last night that I climbed to the top of pikes peak in the middle of the night. I got to the top and my mom was there, and I asked if she knew the correct way down because the way I took up was very slippery. She said yes and had me hold one side of a short rope, saying we had to do a 2 person reverse salmon ladder down some rocks and do quite a bit of free falling. I was unsure, but went along with it. We missed one rock and I was certain we would die, but she just told me the timing for my breath hold would be off. I had no clue what that meant but as we were falling I could see a reservoir below us, so I took a huge breath and held it for as long as I could. (Irl my husband woke me for a moment asking why I was holding my breath.)
When the dream continued I was in an underground man made cavern in the reservoir that glowed teal, and my mom had vanished. My first dog I ever had was there, shaking and staring behind me. She let me pet her but when I said “where’s mom?” She growled and for a moment, the word ‘skinwalker’ danced through my mind. Suddenly I knew the mom I had met on pikes peak was not my mom, and I was terrified.
My husband woke me up again, asking if I was having a nightmare, but I was too sleepy to answer and fell immediately back into the dream, where I was at my moms office. All of her coworkers were there, but there was something uncanny about them. They told me “she’s on her way” a few times, and for some reason I could not call any emergency services or family or friends, so I called my banks fraud line and just kept whispering “please send help” over and over until my husband woke me up again as I had been saying it out loud and shaking.
