My Dream Setting= National emergency exist in the US. I am 35 and some kind of technician, electronics, computers, special printers I don't know what kind of job I had. Everyone (maybe 6 people in this big warehouse) worked 16 hours shifts. Everyone is kind of drafted but not in the military. No choice but to serve. 9/11 type of protect the US against the enemy. Part of the security plan requires no contact with anyone for 99% of the time. No passing national secrets or potential viruses or diseases. Anthrax or some type of flu plays into the picture.
Everyone bought into and saw the reason for the 99% of the time no contact with another person except for very short, business only e-mails, like; "Send 60 GB hard drive to location Ware house 7, Row 4, shelf 4 end of message."
I was in a warehouse type building and I had to be there all of the time. On one wall, there was a 3-walled area for a double bed. I had to sleep next to my work area and so did this other person. The bed was to the left of my work area and to the right of the other person's work area.
Enter a 28-year-old female that I never see that is assigned to the same bed but at a different time, (her side, my side, but never at the same time)
Someone asks or said "do you know you are sleeping in the same bed with a 5'5" 120#, 28 yr old brunette? I said no, but seemed to sense who ever slept on the other side of the bed was a female.
Big emergency in the warehouse. I work for almost 2 days straight. The lights go out. Everyone works by flashlight, the electronic equipment goes on stand-by internal batteries. A minimum amount of data is maintained and some comes in and some goes out to support the national emergency. The equipment and data flow is Coma like.
All of this becomes too much and even though I have not slept for a long time and it is not my time to sleep, some people go to their rest areas. My machines refuse to take in or put out any more information to support the national emergence and nothing I do helps, so I head for bed. It was so dark in the warehouse I had trouble finding my way to my rest area
Female X is not there so I assume her machines (a little different than the ones I am assigned to) are doing something more than maintaining a coma state, so she must be working. I go to sleep on my side of the bed.
About 6 hours late I feel something warm at my back. Am I dreaming, or am I in the wrong rest area? Did female X show up and not realize I was there. No inside light or light from outside. Would us being in the same area at the same time be looked at as passing spy type secrets, a way to transmit a super virus, or as work hanky panky/spousal cheating?
In the dream I woke up and we were surprised to see another person looking back at eachother in the dark. We talked about our spouses, families, and friends back home. I got the feeling we were both dedicated to people back home that we were both pillars of the community where we came from. I felt I had just met the most honest, and hard working person there is anywhere on the face of the earth.
