Early elementary school years Hayashi Koma Scary Dream


(dream) I am walking down the street.
Many people come running toward me, apparently fleeing from something.
They are being chased by balloons.
The sort of balloons one sees floating around town, however, there are hundreds of them to a mass and the masses are countless.
The entire sky is filled with a drove of balloon masses.
People swallowed by these masses disappear.
I join the escape, but the road becomes steeper and steeper.
It is like walking a treadmill.

(note) I don't know why, but I had this dream several times,
(perhaps five times during my nursery and early elementary school years.)
The place and situation vary slightly each time,
but it always ends with me unable to escape, claiming, "it's useless, it's useless."
At times I awoke.
I never saw the dream again after that.
