Sparring With An United States Marine

I could not sleep for most of last night so I barely got any sleep last night, I did not voice record my dreams during this time, and so now I can barely remember part of my last dream.

All that I can remember of this dream from last night is that it took place during the day, and I was riding in an automobile through a fictional city with my parent’s and my mom was driving.

As we were driving I probably realized that I needed to go to work, and so I asked my mom to drop me off at work because I would not have time to return to get my automobile.

My mom told me that she needed to go to a doctor’s appointment after dropping me off, and so she was not sure if she would be able to pick me up from work later but she would call me later to let me know if she will be able to pick me up from work or not.

As we drove to where I work I remember seeing a television military recruitment commercial for probably The United States Military (Armed Forces), probably The United States Marine Corps, and the television commercial showed some soldiers (marines) in civilian clothing sometimes in their civilian lives and then it would sometimes jump to showing them in their military uniforms (combat, dress, et cetera) in their military lives and I also saw scenes of them doing mêlée combat training with rifles with bayonets et cetera.

After the television commercial I probably saw several soldiers (marines) outside as we drove by, they were probably exercising and / or training or something like that, and then we reached the parking lot of the fictional place where I worked which looked like a one-story school-like office building next to a small field and park-like area.

My parent’s dropped me off and I said goodbye, they drove off, and the dream jumped in time to where I was leaving work now.

My mom must have not been able to pick me up because I started walking home, and during my walk I saw a man with dark-color skin with short black hair playing soccer while holding a baseball bat who seemed to be a soldier (marine) so I stopped to talk to him because I wanted to tell him about some of the mêlée combat that I saw in that television commercial and I was curious about sparring to see how well I do against a trained soldier (marine) in mêlée combat.

I greeted the man and we started to talk, he was possibly from Africa (African) and possibly had immigrated to The United States but I can not remember, and I was correct about him being a soldier and he told me that he was in The United States Marines Corps.

I told him that one of the reasons (there were several reasons) that I assumed that he was a soldier was because of how he was holding the baseball bat, and I told him about the television commercial that I saw.

After that I asked him if we could have a friendly sparring match with baseball bats as our weapons in place of rifles with bayonets so that I could test my melee combat skills (untrained) against a United States marine, and he agreed.

We then had a quick friendly sparring match but I can not remember the match, it was fun though and he probably complimented my skills, and maybe we called it a draw but I can not remember.

I thanked him and we shook hands, he probably said that he hopes that we meet again for a rematch and / or to play some soccer and that he would teach me some combat skills that he learned, and I said that would be nice and that I hoped that we would meet again.

We said goodbye, and I continued walking but I woke up.

The end,

-John Jr

Lyrics for Voce Abusou by Pauline Croze

Você abusou
Tirou partido de mim
Abusou
Tirou partido de mim
Abusou
Tirou partido de mim
Abusou

Mais je suis seul dans l’univers
J’ai peur du ciel et de l’hiver
J’ai peur des fous et de la guerre
J’ai peur du temps qui passe, dis
Comment peut on vivre aujourd’hui
Dans la fureur et dans le bruit
Je ne sais pas, je ne sais plus, je suis perdu

Você abusou
Tirou partido de mim
Abusou
Tirou partido de mim
Abusou
Tirou partido de mim
Abusou

Mais l’amour dont on m’a parlé
Cet amour que l’on m’a chanté
Ce sauveur de l’humanité
Je n’en vois pas la trace, dis
Comment peut on vivre sans lui?
Sous quelle étoile, dans quel pays?
Je n’y crois pas, je n’y crois plus, je suis perdu

Você abusou
Tirou partido de mim
Abusou
Tirou partido de mim
Abusou
Tirou partido de mim
Abusou

Mais j’en ai marre d’être roulé
Par des marchands de liberté
Et d’écouter se lamenter
Ma gueule dans la glace, dis
Est-ce que je dois montrer les dents?
Est-ce que je dois baisser les bras?
Je ne sais plus, je ne sais pas, je suis perdu

Você abusou
Tirou partido de mim
Abusou
Tirou partido de mim
Abusou
Tirou partido de mim

Lyrics for Voce Abusou by Pauline Croze

You abused
He took advantage of me
Abused
He took advantage of me
Abused
He took advantage of me
Abused

But I’m alone in the universe
I’m afraid of the sky and winter
I’m afraid of madmen and war
I’m afraid of the passing of time, say
How can we live today
In fury and noise
I don’t know, I don’t know anymore, I’m lost

You abused
He took advantage of me
Abused
He took advantage of me
Abused
He took advantage of me
Abused

But the love I was told about
This love that I was sung to
This savior of humanity
I don’t see any trace of it, say
How can we live without him?
Under which star, in which country?
I don’t believe it, I don’t believe it anymore, I’m lost

You abused
He took advantage of me
Abused
He took advantage of me
Abused
He took advantage of me
Abused

But I’m tired of being rolled.
By freedom merchants
And to listen to whining
My mouth in the ice, say
Do I have to show the teeth?
Do I have to give up?
I don’t know anymore, I don’t know, I’m lost

You abused
He took advantage of me
Abused
He took advantage of me
Abused
He took advantage of me
Abused
