Dream

I am in an underground jail cell with three men. We have just been brought in and sentenced here for an inordinate amount of time. I can sense the gravity of our situation and the horror and claustrophobia that will ensue once the reality of our situation sinks in. We are deep underground and far from any daylight or sign of the outer world. Night is approaching and we are preparing for sleep. We share a room that is modern in design with an attached bathroom. There is a bed which is more like a single massage table. The man beside me seems to be my partner and kindly allows me the bed while he sets up on the floor. I feel intimately bonded to him and know I will happily share my bed with him. The other two men also feel close to us - we are a close-knit group. Everyone is grave but I feel my feminine presence is special to the group somehow. I wonder whether I will be freed before them and whether they will be ok without me. I sense they need me there.
