The State Puts Ariana Grande on the 27s List* (2016)

I start my comeback with yet another dream about Ariana Grande (remember her?) being executed. This time it was a legal execution--lethal injection, to be specific.

The dream was odd in nature and took place in the future. What I remember was that Ariana was condemned for something she didn't mean to do.

I won't go into detail about much of the dream, as it was fragmented and not really worth belaboring. The execution was the only part that seemed to make sense--it was as if some important message was penetrating through the nonsensical elements.

I remember, of course, seeing Ariana strapped to the gurney in the death chamber. Gary Jules's cover of "Mad World" was playing throughout the scene. I couldn't clearly see the spectators, but I sensed that at least her loved ones were present. I don't remember what Ariana's last words were, if any, but eventually, the execution was carried out, with Ariana flatlining near the end of "Mad World."

After her death, I remember seeing an article in the newspaper, which stated that Ariana was 27. Her execution played out like a scene from a movie, and at the beginning of it, I remember seeing a date marquee in the middle of the opening "frame," a date sometime in March...I think March 18. Ariana was 23 when I had the dream last year, and her birthday is June 26, which would set the execution in early 2021.

Remembering the dream two years back about her beheading, I later realized it was a dream foretelling something about her relationship with Big Sean, as confirmed by entertainment news articles--three months after I had that dream, Ariana and Big Sean broke up. It makes me wonder what's up with this one. Of course, 2021 is still four years away, meaning anything can happen. If this dream had any prophetic undertones like the one before it, then I can only hope that Ariana plays it safe in all she does and treads lightly. An execution is not a positive archetype, to be sure. She's quite talented, and I wouldn't want to see her life or career fall in any tragic fashion.

*For those who don't know, the 27s is a list of musicians who all died at age 27, many of them from drug overdoses.
