I had the freakiest dream last night. I had a dream I was driving to work and I was kinda running a bit late. Anyway I'm racing along sitting just over the speed limit and I'm watching these people driving ahead of me and then i see all the break lights of the cars go on.
So I think "Gee I'm going to be late, all the cars merge to the over taking lane of this freeway that we're on and appear to be going around something.
I continue on and get to the thing they're driving around, and it's a car accident. 3 cars are all mangled and smashed up against the barrier on the shoulder of the road.... in the middle of the wreck is a horse float, and it's on it's side. I'm thinking "Holy shit!" It's clear to me that the car at the front has cut off the car towing the horse float and that they've all ended up smashing into each other and then collecting the side of the barrier.
I pull over and there are a few passengers standing around in daze and shock and panicking. I grab one guy who appears to be ok and tell him to direct traffic. "move them into the other lane and get them away from the accident"
there's screaming and crying and I can hear sirens in the distance. I run to the first car (which is the car at the back of the others) and I look inside, there'sa woman sitting behind the wheel she has her head back and she has her nose smashed from hitting the steering wheel, her car is old so i assume there was no airbag, I ask her if she's ok and she just slowly nods and says that she'll be fine. Her daughter is sitting in the passenger seat and she's about my age and I ask her if she's ok and she's just staring in horror at her mum's face. The girl ignores me and she's pawing at her mother's shoulder. I'm getting frustrated cause I know I have to work my way through the carnage so I yell to get the girl's attention "Hey are you ok?" She stares at me and stars crying but tells me she's ok but but her mum her mum and I tell her to help her mum out of the car and onto the grass away from the road. I tell the mum to keep her head back and that the ambulance is on it's way.
I check the backseat, it's empty except for christmas presents all over the place. I look back at the guy directing traffic, he's doing a good job and I can't help but feel really angry and frustrated, no one is stopping to help, they're all just driving past!!
I can hear someone screaming and crying so I run to the next car which had the horse float. I have to run around the horse float and I see a horse which is sorta sitting (you know the way they sit with their legs tucked to a side)... and the owner is screaming and crying and there's a guy standing with her trying to calm her and she keeps staring at the horse. I ntoice the horse's front leg is broken and there is blood everywhere, somehow they must have gotten it to crawl out of the upturned float and onto the grass... the grass was so red and full of blood. The woman was screaming and kept trying to go to the horse and the guy kept trying to hug her instead.
I ran past them and went to help the people in the first car. The driver was hangin out of his side window and he looked to be on really weird angles.
The female passenger had crawled out of the car onto the grass and was throwing up and crying and screaming all at once.
I run to the car and I notice the guy isn't moving and I figure the jolt must have shot him out of his seat and through the window there's a massive dent in the door frame where he must have hit first... his neck is all stretched and unsual looking I check for a pulse and there isn't one. I look into the car to see if his legs are trapped under the sterring wheel or something to prevent him from coming the whole way out the window... and I see the freakiest most scariest thing... there is what is left of a baby... The baby had come from either the back seat or was in the woman's arms on impact... eitherway... it must have smashed into the windshield which had the biggest circular spray pattern in the glass... like something had hit it.... the baby was all squished and didn't really look like a baby anymore, but just a bloody pulp and mess of legs and arms and head.. just sitting there on the center console next to the gear stick. I know full well that both baby and man are dead, they probably died on impact. I feel so sick, I hear a voice from behind.."Miss, miss?"
I look it's an ambulance member, "Um I think these two are dead..." The guy nods and tells me it's ok and leads me to the grass where I start to apologise "I'm so sorry I thought I could help everone" and he's telling me I did a good job, that the man they found directing traffic said he never saw someone move so fast but I'm only half listening as I begin to vomit into the grass. The grass was so fresh smelling, like after rain, but I couldn't help myself, the baby, the man, the horse it was all too much.
I get helped back to standing and I can hear the woman still screaming about her horse and I feel sooo sorry for her the police are trying to talk to her and her male friend is being questioned seperately I can hear the officer asking him what exactly happened? The other officer is talking to the woman, telling her that the animal guy is on his way, and that he is so sorry but that the animal will have to be put to sleep. She goes quiet as she listens to the officer, I'm about 20ft away but I can hear and see their whole exchange. she asks him "are you sure she has to be put to sleep?" The young cop looks so sad and he says yes and repeats the fact that the guy is coming to take her horse away for her. She starts to cry again and then she stops and looks at the young cop and I hear her clear as a bell through all the other noises around me "Oh I can't have someone else do it, please can you let me do it?" the officer looks unsure and unceratin and she starts to beg him "please, please I've been with her for so long, let me be the one she's suffering can I please borrow your gun I know just what to do I've had horses for many years" My brain catches on fire. The young officer looks at the horse I can see him looking at the wound and the blood and then the woman crying but holding her hand out. He hands her the gun and I start running to them... "NO!!! don't give it to her!!!" as quick as I can I'm not quick enough, she smiles at the gun and then the officer and then holds it to her head and shoots.... everything goes in slow motion her head opens up and blood is everywhere, she falls to the ground and the young officer stands there in pure shock... I'm skiddding to a halt and I look around, cars keep driving past, the emergency crew all look in horror at the source of the loud sound and the last thing I see before wake is the look of sheer horror on the poor young officer's face as he realises his mistake.
