War in a Forest
Late January 2022
A dream that I had 4 years earlier and perhaps almost day to day. It was the earliest precognitive one that I had in recent times, the earliest of which I remember having been one from early 2015.
I found myself in the middle of a dense forest, and in the middle of an isolated concave area to begin with — the type bordered with light elevations of terrain and more or less aligned rocks and trees, probably where it rained a lot, creating the crater-like space filled with fallen leaves for instance.
In the middle of nowhere in this isolated area, was something like a strange wrecking ball made of concrete hanging with the body of what was in my mind a dead soldier smashed against it, without gruesome details somehow. A second dead soldier was also lain on the ground not too far from me and the hanging object.
Obviously concerned by the quite macarbe scene, I left the area and engaged in a much wider and flat one evenly planted with trees. On my right, I saw an infantry of soldiers of asian ethnicity, that I thought to be Chinese soldiers, unlike the two other caucasian dead ones, patrolling toward me, and accompanied by a few tall and thin robots looking like the B1 series Droids in Star Wars, just thinner with a white body and a red part at the tip of their faces, reminiscent of the Turrets in the videogame Portal to use another reference.
As soon as I saw them walking in my direction, I just proned and hid under a carpet of leaves, hoping they wouldn’t spot me. I waited a few seconds until I thought it would be safe for me to change position and leave ; but at the moment I standed back on my knees, a robot spotted me and shot some projectile through my chest from the red part on it’s face with pin-point precision, killing me in the dream and waking me up instantly.
About a full month later, the conflict between Russia in Ukraine escalated on 24th of January 2022 when Russia decided to invade Ukraine militarily, having avoided a direct confrontation since the start of the conflict in 2014. (Which I followed back then, but forgot about around 2017.) I then interpreted the Chinese soldiers as Russian ones since China and Russia both have an history with communism, and a way to differentiate the two armies. The forest environment was also telling enough in regards to Eastern Europe’s geography, even tho Ukraine’s forest coverage is not that high (~16-17%) at least compared to France or Italy (both ~30-32%).
