I was visiting my family. I don’t remember the details, but I was about town, and there were a bunch of silly mind games that got under my skin. It was close to the end of my stay.
A friend showed up and said he was organizing a hike. My Mom said something like, “Good that will keep him busy. We don’t actually have time go on a hike”.
I looked at her in such a way as to say, “Actually, I am going”.
She said, “Are you serious.”
Suddenly, I find myself on a giant rocky ridge with a half dozen other people. I don’t recognize anybody in real life, but I think I knew them in the dream, at least tangentially. We were all crossing the ridge. It was pretty scary because on one side, it was a long drop.
Even though we were far up, I felt like we were just setting up, gathering our gear, etc.
I dropped two devices. Not sure what they were, but it was important I get them back. I crawled on my stomach, trying to get past another guy. I remember thinking, “personally, I don’t want to die”. I slide down the mountain into a ravine, to get the devices. The other guys had already started the hike. It was almost dark, and I realized I didn’t really know where we were going. I wasn’t sure they did, either.
I realized, I forgot water. I walked towards a large grocery store. They told me to hurry, we needed to get going. I said I would be just a second. It was completely dark. I looked behind me, and remembered how hard it is to hike at night. They were all fading into the distance, and I hoped I wouldn’t have problems finding them in the dark.
