The Unseen Evil
"Be not overcome by evil"
I dreamt that Mr Spock, Doctor McCoy, Captain Kirk, and one other crew member were at the front of a large vaulted gallery attending to a gravely ill alien who was unconscious and immobile. Spock, while pondering the case, wandered deep into the gallery where he became indifferent to the suffering alien and gleefully self satisfied. Kirk, who had stood a short distance away from the group, yelled sharply “Spock” and ordered the Vulcan to return to the task at hand. While trying to help this suffering alien, each of the crewmen after touching this alien, soon grew afflicted with the same self absorbed indifference that Spock was suffering, until all four became useless.
Spock, even while suffering this detached gleeful indifference, was still curious and pondering the “fascinating” condition of the alien. In a Eureka Moment he cried out “Jim it’s the water”. Having touched the unwell alien, its corrupted water had altered the water within the crew members. Doctor McCoy used his magic space syringe to correct the malfunctioning water within each of the crewmen, so that they could now focus on the task at hand. A small gathering of this alien’s own kind stood and watched as McCoy administered the remedy and restored the patient’s health.
I dreamt that The Evil One and his assistant were halfway down the back pasture. Captain Picard and Wesley Crusher approached together. Wesley foolishly went all the way to the back of the pasture and tunneled underground to catch and bind this Evil One from below. In this way he caused Evil to emerge ready to attack. Picard with Crusher took the enemies weapon, a space gun that shoots fizzing electric balls, and used it to attack The Evil One, who just laughed off the attack. The Evil One then recovered his weapon and then began to shoot Picard repeatedly. Each blast caused Picard to laugh like a hideous fool or babble saying foolish things. Ultimately Picard bowed down to this fiend while Crusher watched.
From the back door of the house, a good-natured cowboy entered the scene. Without anger he took The Evil Ones space gun and threw it some distance against a rock where it was destroyed. A short while later, two blast from above pulverized, first The Evil One and then his assistant. They became gray dust that soaked into the ground.
A very long time ago I dreamt, That I was in a Satanic Sunday School class, with everyone gathered in a central room. After the master had given a brief lesson a band began to play. The band members were distributed among the class. They were all blonde men with very curly hair and white sequined jumpsuits. This band played a Rolling Stones song(I don’t remember which one).
After the music ended the class divided into smaller groups who met in the classrooms surrounding the central hall. In my class the teacher gave a lesson on loyalty. Angry and snarling he threatened the whole group that anyone who was not fully committed to serving the purposes of the group would be discovered, dealt with, and destroyed by enduring endless unimaginable suffering. With dread, I began to wonder if I could somehow manage to go unnoticed until I found a way to escape.
Not very long ago, upon waking up, the memory of the previous night’s sleep was fading fast. The One with authority, one who is even tempered, patient, never forceful and I had been talking about three evils that go unrecognized and are even called good. He suggested that I should write about them but with memory of the previous night’s conversation fading I could not remember what they were.
I hope that these three dreams will adequately serve this need. Perhaps you have something to offer?
