Dreaming Visit to Mayberry
Oct. 22nd, 2018 08:31 amThe dream started out in small country town. I was more a spectator than a participant at this point. A young deputy sheriff was sparing with his brother, the latter who was giving the former some grief about something. The brother hit the deputy and took off running. The deputy was then in pursuit, tackling the brother then running himself. This became something of a game, where each would tackle the other or hit the other, then change positions as the pursuer.
Andy Taylor and Barney Fife showed up as the two brothers had caused a stir. Andy was upset that the deputy would do this, as it was an abuse of his position, so he and Barney started chasing after them to stop them. I decided to follow along.
At this point, it was near sunset and it was getting dark. The brothers ahead of us had ended up in a weird trap set by a third party, a local nutjob who didn't like trespassers. I didn't see the trap myself, but it would pull you into a bush covered area by a rope around your feet. The brothers may have known about the trap historically as they got loose. When Andy, Barney, and I got there, the trap caught Barney by the feet and dragged him into the covered area. Andy went in after him and I stood back.
The trap had bound Barney somehow and we needed to cut him loose. At this time, a young Native American woman was driving by on a large tractor. I stopped her and asked if she had a pocket knife I could borrow. She didn't, so I asked if she had something sharp. She offered me a piece of very stiff leather with a burnt edge. She called it something, but that dream detail is already lost this morning.
I threw it to Andy to cut him loose. I finally followed down the covered area and found Andy and Barney in a shed. Barney had been bound by duct tape and Andy was cutting him free. I told Andy that everything was going to be fine.
I explained that "in my world" they were both on television. Andy wanted more explanation. So I told him that in my world, we have television with 13 channels and that their adventures appear as a television program and that I had been watching them for years. Barney was loose and neither of them believed me about the television.
At this point in the dream, I knew that I wasn't part of their "world" and must have had a way of going back and forth between theirs and mine. I vaguely remember another guy coming in and grabbing something in the shed, but then I woke up.
