The Golden People

I actually had this the other night. When I awoke, it was already very vague although the anxious feeling it had given me was palpable. It's even vaguer now.

Basically all I remember is people running down the street. That was the main part of the dream, people running down the highway out front of my house. At first they were trying to get away from something, but then it's like they had to accept it and so were running toward it. It had enveloped them, overtaken them. As the dream progressed I found out that this was some kind of "force" that turned everyone it enveloped into "Golden People." It's as if they were magical and mystical somehow, with great powers of good, yet by surrendering themselves to this force, they had to give up a part of themselves, their individuality, as well. This was why people were first afraid of it overtaking them, but then gave in willingly to become a part of the greater whole.

The Nazis also had something to do with this. I think maybe they were trying to harness this force, or were actually using it, but I'm not sure. I sensed it was a GOOD force, so I'm not sure how the Nazis could use it.

I remember being in my room at one point, then outside, watching the people running down the road. One was the woman who was the nosy neighbor on ALF, and Seinfeld's mother on Seinfeld (Liz Sheridan). She and a man were jogging down the street hoping to escape this force, but eventually it caught up with them and they were overtaken. I remember seeing them as "Golden People" and they were peaceful and calm then, emitting a golden glow, as if they were made of the metal. I believe they were naked as well. They were telling me I shouldn't be afraid. This was for a greater good.

The force wasn't actively coming after ME yet, but I was afraid it would. So what if it was for a good cause? I didn't want to give up everything I was--nor did I want to be naked! There was a guy with me, maybe kind of cute with a baseball cap, and I sense he was on my side, trying to help me and to escape this force. It was very confusing and frightening, trying to escape something that might actually help us, or help the greater good. I felt very uncertain; I didn't know what to do.

Throughout the dream it was dim outside like it was early morning, but summery and green. Groups of people kept running down the road, albeit casually, trying to get away, then changing into Golden People. I didn't know if I should submit, or continue to resist this strange force. It was certainly a conflict.
