Ghost in Platform
Monday, July 20th, 2009Dream segment for 20th July 2009
The setting is in a series of connected train platform, similar to the interconnected platforms at Charing Cross, Euston and King’s Cross St. Pancras. I am moving from one platform to another directly crossing over the tracks. The general feeling is trying to catch the right train to a destination which I do not know. I moved from one platform to another about five times. Finally, I went to the edge of the platform where I am able to get a very good view of all the on-coming trains on all platforms, hence enabling me to go to the right platform in time for the train.
As the train I wanted arrived, I immediately walk towards its designated platform as it slowed to a stop. The train is a massive dark, almost black, steam engine train. Two train engineers are aboard the train’s main carriage. As I moved closer to it, I saw a transparent male ghost slowly following the train and is moving towards the front. I can describe the ghost as male, transparent, similar to light smoke, elderly, a short shoulder shawl and a flat top hat. He reminds me of Sherlock Holmes or the character of Scrooge. As I now ran towards the train platform, the ghost followed me as our eyes met. In disbelief, I threw a notebook at it saying “stay-away” as I ran towards the train door. It continued to follow me.
I am then awakened by my wife. I was having a nightmare.
