I'm skydiving with another woman when an explosion occurs down below in a building. The blast sends the woman into the outer atmosphere. She eventually lands in a foreign country that resembles the U.S. but they speak a foreign language (not English).

There are hostile activities going on (civil wars and rebel fighting) and now I'm in the picture again and we are trying to get out of the country and back home. They send our relatives over to leave with us, and now there are more people trying to get out.

There are people in the community that are helping us through an underground network, to escape getting caught by the hostile forces. They know all the ropes on how to get peoople out. We are given fake I.D.'s and led through a playground/park area. end.

I think this dream is partly influenced by the news we get daily from Iraq.

I think you are right, but also maybe it has something to do with a conflict in your own life?

That could be. I suppose if I thought about it awhile.

I feel mostly that it has a more universal meaning--a geopolitical one. We see on the news all about the civil wars in Africa, U.S. forces fighting insurgents in Iraq, starvation and disease, natural disasters, etc.

I think these things find their way into our psyche after awhile.
