This is a dream I had a while ago, but I thought it was pretty unusual. I hardly ever have bad dreams.
Four white cardinals and one red cardinal would sit and preen on a branch over a busy highway. There was a nearby lake that they would fly to. They would find a stone and stun a frog sunning itself on the surface. One would carry the frog and drop it onto the highway and they would watch as it was smashed into bits by the traffic. It was just a diversion they had devised.
Now I'm standing by the highway and up in the distance is a wreck. People are irritated at the traffic standstill and are getting out of their cars. It's hot and tempers are short. Something is said, I can't remember what, that starts a riot. People are throwing rocks and pebbles at each other. I can't run anywhere because I've walked up onto an overpass. I'm being stoned from every direction and all I can do is huddle down and wait for it to end. I felt the pain from every stone as it bit into my skin.
I thought I woke up, but there was a man in my bed and he was trying to rape me. I couldn't yell or scream. I feel like I fought him off for at least five minutes or so. It was very realistic. When I finally woke my sheets were all sweaty and twisted up.
