Dakota's Experience

Experience description:
I was around the age of
5 to about 7. And I had a dream like no other. Out of every thing it is the one
dream I can remember, better then I can remember most of my entire childhood.
The dream was very short but intense. There was some guy and me. We were both
back in the old west. It felt like I was actually there. I remember we were both
wearing cowboy cloths, and he had a cowboy hat on. For some reason that I don't
even know I collapsed to my knees. For some reason I think we were having a wild
west shoot out, but I am not sure if I was the bad one or if he was. I don't
remember having been shoot or anything like that. The dust rose from the ground
as I fell to my knees. Then the next thing I knew was he was coming slowly
towards me. I knew that he had spurs on. I remember having my head slumped down
while he approached and picking it up as he was about two feet or less away.
While he was walking up I begging for my life, for him to have mercy on me. Then
with out saying anything the whole time he lifted his gun pointing it at the
right side of my skull when he stopped right in front of me. The gun must have
been Around six or so inches from my head. I was begging to live, and for him to
spare my life. Then the gun went off I remembered the scene went black and I
could feel the exact spot he had the gun, I could feel that part of my skull. I
could feel the bullet enter my skull, go through my brain come out of the roof
of my mouth and continue on till it felt like it left the bottom of my jaw.
After that I jumped out of bed crying and scared with the same pain running in a
straight line through the top of my head all the way to the bottom of my jaw.
All the while being that young I thought that I had died.
