For most of my life I've dreamt about
having my appendix out. I'd be in the hospital prior to the surgery and then it
was a day or two later. Sometimes I was still in the hospital, other times I
was walking outside of it in the dark of night, and never did I recall what had
happened during those days.
Those I got used to. I haven't had one
in years and in an odd way I miss them.
But one time when I was 10 the dream
changed. Instead of waking up afterward I woke up on the operating table. I'd only
ever been in hospital treatment room once and that was to have a cast put on my
leg. That room was tone blue with dark at the bottom half of the walls and
lighter blue above this mark. I was awake for that and I recall it fairly well.
I remember some lowered lights above me and I tried to sit up to watch the
pasted strips being wound around my leg.
In the dream I woke up surrounded by a
team of doctors. Their faces were covered from the nose down with surgical
masks. They wore dull aquamarine surgical gowns with matching caps that covered
most of their foreheads. And I have it in my mind they all wore glasses. I
don't recall the exactly what those glasses look like. It's about the only
think that I'm not sure of. In my mind they are plain eyeglasses with thick
heavy black square frames that cover their eyes
and reach from the surgical mask to the caps. Their eyes are dark. I can
see a bit of skin on them. I think it's flat, yellowy brown. I don't recall
noticing any hands. There are at least six of them staring down at me on the
table. I am surrounded.
The other thing remember is the
dullness of the light. Not subdued or dimmed, but dull. The light above me is a
dingy, faded yellow such as you might get out of a 30 watt bulb. The room is
also dingy, almost dirty, looking.
They all seem tall and thin though I
am only 10 and barely five feet tall at the time. Everyone is tall to me. I
can't say if they are male or female though I have the sense that the one at
the foot of the table is male. That's all I know about the dream because that's
all I saw. I went right back to sleep on that table and then it was morning in
my own bed.
This stayed with me right from the
time I had it. However, I didn't think too much about it other than it was a
really odd dream, It wasn't until I read Whitley Strieber's book Communion
in the late 80s which contained a similar description on a ship that I
associated it with anything beyond a dream.
Is it a dream? A memory? I honestly
can't say for a fact. It is one more item on the list of odd things in my life.
Separately, they may not mean much. Together, I believe they are evidence of ETs in my life.
