Sacred Waters and Fear of Falling
I was sitting at a restraunt table with a bunch of people I barely knew. On the table was a crystal ball with an ashtray on top. I asked the woman sitting next to me what it was, but she wouldn't tell me. I realized that the whole table was in a cart speeding around the curves on a two lane mountain highway with a drop to the sea on one side. We were going to a very sacred and mysterious natural place. A place with water, and waterfalls and rocks. It had a mystical almost magical quality to it. The driver was letting dogs loose from the front of our vehicle and I realized that we were being pulled by 8 dogs. They knew the way to the water place though, and their knowledge was critical to our arriving. Some of the people riding with us were going to make a video at some water fall, but I specifically didn't feel included in their plans. When we arrived I jumped of our vehicle and knowing I had to pee moved away from the group. There was an enormous bridge over head, and walked under the support beans to a concrete pillar where I climbed up on a pylon to pee in privacy. I could see a large strip of the sacred place. The water was very clean. To my right was a place where huge boulders formed a natural swimming hole and kids played in the water. In front of me there was a small lake. As I peed I felt that i was swinging over the lake which I attributed to magnetic anomalies at this sacred place. The swinging feeling became more pronounced and I realized that I was actually swinging high above the lake and if I didn't hold on I would fall hundreds of feet. I pressed my right foot into a small ledge. My neck and upper back I could press into a 2 foot ledge above me and then I could reach up and around to grab on to some flat polished screws. I barely had a grip. I realized that we were moving now through the city and that the structure I was clinging to was attached to a city bus. Hundreds of feet below me was concrete and people. No one could see me no one knew I was slipping. I saw a bald man walking and yelled down to him. He saw me and was excited not realizing that I was slipping. After 2 stops I was able to communicate to him that I was in danger and he told the driver to stop the bus. The fire department came and lifted a ladder up to me. There was a fireman on the ladder, but for liability he told me to grab the ladder and hold on my self which I was happy to do.
