I dreamed I was sitting at the train station with my 6 year old waiting for one to arrive so we could go somewhere. While we were waiting, there was a television screen showing the news: in graphic, gory detail, an expert mountain bike rider who was riding near the tracks, loses control of his bike and slides in front of an oncoming train. He is then caught up under the wheels and ground up and spit out (wood chipper style) all over the inside of one of the train cars which happens to be filled with children my son's age. In the dream, I am horrified and powerless to prevent my son from watching the horror repeated over and over again on the giant TV hanging above us broadcasting the news. Then, I woke up.
