I think that several years ago I was supposed to believe that I could not die.
Now it does not really matter what I believe.
All that matters now is that I did not believe back then that I could not die.

And that is bad news in general for the human race.

There were several interesting dream sequences as I was asleep after waking up a while ago. The only scenes I can remember now are the ones I think happened just before I awoke. The details are vague now and I cannot remember which sequence of the two occurred first but in one sequence I seemed to have infiltrated an enemy facility and I was walking towards my destination. I can still visualize to some extent the walls and stairwells and walkways along the wall. Then I was fighting with someone and I can remember seeing my boot as the bottom of my black leather military boot struck him squarely on the chest and I am left with the sense that I had lunged at him and traveled through the air as I kicked him. I knocked him down and he was a large fellow and then I was walking away and again towards my destination which I do not now remember from the dream. I had traveled up to another level and was still walking and I was then fighting that other soldier again and I aware that I had several pistols and an assault rifle but I did not want to use them. One of my pistols even had a silencer but I did not want to shoot him. I subdued him again and I am left with the vague sense that I eventually did have to kill him with my weapon.

In another scene I am fighting with a group of soldiers that I have been thinking for a while were from some undeveloped country and I was there with them in the 1980's as a military advisor. The objective of my training was to get them close enough to the soldiers in the more advanced army that had invaded their country so those soldiers with the much less advanced equipment could deploy their medieval-era equipment against the soldiers armed with 20th century arms. So we were crawling along in some field that was scorched as though a fire had swept through the vegetation and I could see a bunker in the distance that I am thinking had a machine gun in it and that it what my allies were trying to neutralize. My reason for being there was to teach them unconventional methods for getting close enough to the enemy soldiers. The idea was that if we suceeded and survived then they could spread that knowledge to the other soldiers of their army. I have also been thinking this all had something to do with a battle that happened long ago under similar circumstances and might have been Poland or Czech or Hungary. The soldiers on horseback tried to engage a large group of German soldiers in armored tanks and the battle was pointless in terms of the lives of the defending soldiers. So I can still visualize crawling along in that field and I can visualize the weapon we were pulling behind us as we tried to get it close enough to deploy but I do not know what kind of weapon it actually was we were dragging. Crazily enough it could have actually been a catapult. The last part I remember is that the enemy soldiers started dropping mortar rounds on us and I remember from the dream that we were trying to take cover and the mortar rounds were exploding all around us. We had some kind of container made out of sheet metal that we were trying to take cover in but there was some kind of concern in my mind during the dream that a mortar round next to the open side of the container was going to magnify the explosion and that was a concern. I don't remember anything after that and I think that is when I woke up.
