Time Travel Dream
October-16-06, I dreamt that I time traveled. I was in the Marines again; I think it was boot camp. I knew I was back in time, as I was aware of the present (my wife, kids, etc…) I was in search of a building, which I knew had this time traveling device, a time traveling device that resembled a colorful cup of some kind. I was familiar with the building and the cup I was looking for as if I had been in the building and used the cup before.
First, I was in some kind of military installation. I was presented with two pistols which I apparently had to sign for to return them back to the armory. I did so, and they gave me two ID cards, which were both mine. They were the first ID cards I had gotten from the Marines when I had just signed up. I recognized my younger face on the cards. I remember wanting to show these ID cards to my wife when and if I returned back to the present time.
Next, I went to some kind of “archive” where they (the Marines) had some kind of storage or database of records, videos, pictures, etc… of the time I spent there. I asked to see some videos, which I do not how they acquired or when they had recorded such footage. They showed me two clips of myself when I was younger in the Marines. I asked if I could keep the videos, they said yes. I took them, expecting to show them to my wife when I returned to the present. For some reason though I had to pay for the videos, so I went to what apparently was a checkout counter. I presented the two videos for purchase. Two military girls were behind the counter. They told me my address and asked me if it was correct. It was my old address when I was stationed there, so I said “yes, that is correct.” For some reason they became suspicious and started to ask me detailed questions about the based and my location on it. I guessed at the answers as I could no longer remember such details. They knew. Or at least they knew that I was fibbing. The younger of the two girls decided to let me purchase the videos anyway, despite me not validating my identity. Though when she rang up the videos, they were much more then I had expected. About $3500! I did not have the money. Anyways I took the videos out of an envelope which they were now in, and left the register. Yes, I left with the videos anyways.
I ended up in what appeared to be some kind of hanger. Several Marines were sitting along a wall. I recognized several of them. The whole time, in this environment, I tried to blend in, not to raise suspicion or draw attention, as I was now an outsider, no longer familiar with the ways of my past. If someone were to interrogate me, I would have failed miserably.
I ended up outside of the hanger, waiting to cross a road. An MP (Military Police) asked to see my ID. I showed him, and he allowed me to continue. After searching for bit, I found the building I was looking for. I went inside and was presented by a lady that I knew from meeting here there before. After a quick search in the house we found the cup. There was more then just drinking from the cup to make it work. It was hard to remember what I had to do, but her and I figured it out some how. I do remember that I had to be naked and could not bring my videos or ID cards with me. Bringing anything along with the time travel device would some how merge with my body and cause a problem. I sat down with the cup, did what was necessary for it work. The lady helping me told me to relax and go to sleep, but I was nervous that it would work or not, so I couldn’t sleep. But suddenly, I felt dizzy, and kind of like I was melting or had just gotten knocked out. A second later, I was in a white futuristic looking lab with three doctors or scientist looking at me, with a young and slender female with glasses in the middle, then I went black again for a second, and woke up in my bed. My wife was looking at me. She said she couldn’t sleep. I then realized I was back.
