I had a strange dream last night. I was in London, sitting in the airport. Seems it was Heathrow. I was sitting, drinking coffee from a plastic cap, watching around, waiting for my flight. Waiting room was crowded. People bustled about this space around me with their luggage, with their kids and sandwiches. Someone toppled his Coca-Cola over my rucksack. I wasn’t angry. I was close to happinese. Something was before this waiting in the airport. Something I didn’t know in my dream.
Suddenly I have seen 4 men. They looked like nervous. At least it seemed to me in my dream. I also realized that I know 1 of them. I really knew him in my dream. But couldn’t remember his name or circumstances we met.
They have set on the bench ahead of mine. They had one big bag from duty free. The shape of the bag gave up that it’s or a bottle or two in it. Big bottles. It should be whisky or something like that.
I looked at them….
I fixed my eyes on them….
One thought came to me in my dream that it would be interesting… And then it began….
They started to talk with each other.
- I will do it - one said
- No, I will do it…
So they wrangled with each other for some minutes. They they started to push each other. In silence. Snuffling and strugling. I made my gulp of coffee. It was already cold. I swallowed it and looked at them once again. It was already a small battle. They were using their hands and legs trying to convince each other. Finally one of them (the guy i probably knew) said:
- Shit! Why can’t we decide who will blow up this fucking plane!!!…
Some people nereby gave a start. 4 men had a look around with frightenedly.
I was shocked. They were terrorists!!!!! My god!!! I should stop them!!!!! I imagined how the plane is demolishing…. Shouting people all around… Scent of blood…. Scent of fear…. The cover is being broken by the explosion wave… And dozens of people drops down to the endless sky being frozen in first few seconds….
I screw up my face…
I looked at the guys again. They began struggling again. Finally they dropped down the bottles from duty free. The liquid went to me legs and shoes. It was white, of dense consistence. I think it was Baileys.
I’ve noticed that guys were tired. And at that moment they guy (I should have known him, you remember) fixed his eyes on me…. He knew me definitely… And I knew him, for sure…. He became ashamed…Not of what he did but of that I saw everything…. He dropped down his eyes, took broken bottles and went rapidly to the exit. His fellas followed him asking “what’s up, man”.
I followed them with my eyes and….I suddenly woke up…. It was 5.17 a.m…. More than 1 hour till alarm. I looked around. Saw my wife and daughter nearby and settled down….
New day was just beginning and I was ready for it…. I thought about my dream whole day till I haven’t been finally distracted by other various things around (e.g. my closest friend anounced that he will leave our company in 2 weeks).
And now I have remembered once again what happened in the night and decide to write about it…
