 |
|
Suddenly I find myself in a giant hall. Surrounding me are thousands of young people, battered, bruised, and broken. Then suddenly, I hear a voice: "What am I bid?
A young girl stands out before the crowd of leering, sneering men. "What am I bid for this piece of flesh?"
The men start to cheer and shout figures: "Ten," "Twenty," "Fifty," "One Hundred."
What can I do God?
I start to bid. I have to save her. The cost becomes huge, and I begin to waiver. Can I afford this? What price will I pay?
The dream stops.
I'm alone again. But the faces are real enough: Sarah being sold into prostitution; Mike with a revolver in his mouth; Kat covered in cuts and bruises; John falling into crime; Laura alone and desperate; Steve, heroin needle bulging into his vein.
"What am I bid?"
The voice shatters silence. The auction is on again. The bidding has begun. It continues day and night until the end. Most of the bidders desire only use and abuse. Satan drives them on.
And so I find myself in the auction. Will I watch or will I bid? The price of a single life is huge. The currency is prayer. The cost is massive, but the prize is glorious. A life for a life.
What am I bid?

Probably more than what you sold out for. What was your bid? |

As I said before, I tried to sell my soul for a night with Sporty Spice, about five years ago. But I was unable to figure out how to reach the Devil. Nowadays my price would be different but I have to think about it. |

I can't believe you tried buying a hooker at an auction....in a dream, no less.
Mast-rbating two or three times a day should help you avoid having these kinds of perverted dreams! |

You mean me? Or fiveeagles? And who's Bart? Is this a "Simpsons" quote? |

Did they sell Blossom? I heard she's a major fattie now... made an appearance on Kirstie Ally's "Fat Actress" sitcom. But I didn't see the pictures. "Six" was in my french class at USC. |

Posting up the details of one of your dreams on here is like revealing to me the most intimate details of your life.
The interpretation of this one is very obvious to an old mystic like myself.
Five eagles: face up to the issue, or you will keep getting this dream. |
