Truth and Dreams

i had this dream in which i was forced to live at a mental health facility. now to clarify it wasn't really a crazy house so to say, this was just one of those understanding you have in dreams, when it's unspoken and you just know thats what it is. also the people there weren't out of there minds in a crazy dangerous way, but i guess enlightened. they reminded me of many of my friends.



although it was all spruced up with one on one councelors, pools, and good treatment, I didn't want to be there so tried several times to escape. no matter what i did i alwayse ended up back at this place. one day i was sitting in the courtyard by the pool and noticed a small animal i was watching, a squirl I think, get snatched up and disappear into this bush. when i went to examine what had happened, I found a hole in the ground under the bush, only about three inches in diameter.



it was after this i tried to make a break for it again, but this time was cornered at the door by the director of the place, and an armed guard. this guard looked like a normal person but had a huge shotgun in my face, so i gave in and went back to the pool, to talk to a lady friend i had at the place, to whom i had many conversations, she was the only person i could talk to here.



i remember seeing her go some where near one of the bushes and then kinda duck in like she was trying to find something or being called in for some reason. as she vanished. i freaked and ran to try and find her, but could not, however as i searched i again found the strange hole and this time as i felt around examining it i caught ahold of something. i tired my hardest to pull whatever this thing was out of it's home, but could not, however i had gotten a glance at the tail end of this bizzare worm or snake like creature.



I next ran to find the director of this place. finding him walking around one of the pools i rushed him, forcing him to the ground, and repeated the question "What is this thing?!" until he finally let out a terrified and ashamed answer "It is the 'Veritas Ate'."

my dream ended shortly after this as i was beginning to form a plan of some way to capture this thing.



this morning i decided to look up what it is this thing might have been, because this was an unusual dream. i don't usually recall names in my dreams, especially those of what appeared to me to be another language.



this is what i found.



'Veritas' - greek 'truth'
'Ate' - greek 'ruin, folly, delusion'

so it appears to me that this creature that prayed on the good people being contained within this system was simply a perversion of truth

i have to take this at its full meaning and will continue to wonder what else there is to it, and so i leave it here in the open so that i am not the only one to know of this message.
