So I have been out of the army since the summer of 2001, an i still have issues from being n 97-2001... But early this morning i had a bizarre dream, very vivid too, i could hear an see everything and interact; so i was back in Ft.Benning , Ga, and this is kind of a reoccuring dream but it varies as this one did,, some how i decided it was time for me to escape Ft. Benning, not go AWOL, literally escape because for some reason i knew if i didnt i was never getting out. all i remember is that it starts out with me going down a road and into a forrest, but this time i bumped into someone who was also on the run, and he leads me to this big drain opening the kind ya can walk into, well that lead into this drainage system and the guy was going on about how they considered it to be a kind of catacomb , and it was, because there were empty concrete rooms that people were staying in, i had to get permission to be allowed to stay and they granted it. But I had to get out of Ft.Benning i didnt want to live there with them, so i some how made that clear to them, and in turn they introduced me to some guy, who had a nickname like the magician or something,,, and in turn i was told i had to get permission from someone else to get full support on escaping. So next thing i know im blindfolded and the magician guys i taking the blind fold off an im startled to find myself in a auditorium full of people, an im being lead up to the stage, to a microphone an im told, just start making your case, the one you need to convince is listening. So i do, i go into how i have to get back home to my mom, that she needs my help and that i love an miss her very much , then the dream seemed to jump to be being straight outside in a kind of wooded area next to a road, an im just running as fast as i can.

Dodging patrol vehicles hiding behind bushes, making my way to the main highway so i can get on my way. an then some how im being followed by like these robot controled flying insects almost like bees , and they are chasing me, giving away my position, well next thing i know, some how i remembered I had my Green Lantern ring on, and for some reason i knew i had to recite the oath an charge the ring with the battery that i guess i had with me. and i do, and boom now i can fly, but for some reason i wasnt at full strength, the insects kept chasing me and i kept fighting them off, i ended up at some kind of power line pole that was riddled with actual bees an now i have robot insects and real bees trying to jack me up. all the while im protected by the rings force field.

and that was pretty much the dream i woke up shortly after that point.

I have had another similar dream where i am escaping but i am in my car at the time, my things packed, and i am driving carefully as to not arouse suspicion of what im doing, and making sure not to speed, and im just driving away, off the base and on my way home to freedom.

i dont have dreams often anymore, sometimes i am really thankful that i dont have these recurring dreams of escaping ft.benning very often.

I am a Buddhist, so take my obvious bias for what it is. There are probably hundreds, if not thousands, of types of meditation. From my personal experience (I worked in Manhattan on 9/11 and returned only once on 9/13 to tender my resignation) it has helped enormously. The particular type I do is unimportant. The director, David Lynch set up a foundation to teach Transcendental Meditation to Veterans, amongst others with good results.

Search some guided meditations on youtube and see if any are right for you.
