Just Another Thing I fogot I forgot

So this not make any sense to anyone but to anyone who likes symbolic riddles here is a good one for you to think about. Let me know what you think. It's called Trenches. Trenches In my dream I awoke to find myself floating in a space to find a void with land below. On the land I could find trenches below. They twisted and wound all around for miles with a myriad of people young and old, living and dead and some in between. When I landed I found others like myself lost in this pointless void. Some joined the wandering masses. Some were quickly welcomed, others consumed, some both. I was the only one to run away from everyone. As I ran the first man I met was a strange man with silver grease in his hair that ran from his hair onto his shoulders. He smiled a big toothless smile and welcomed me to this worthless place it was a void for the weary and a place for the lining and the dead and everyone in between. He offered me power to overcome others. I turned and ran but found myself a short time later tormented by a small girl who nibbled at my feet. I hadn’t the heart to kick her off but merely played with her until she fell asleep then I ran away. I came to a part of the trench where large masses intersect. Many sat on the dark dirt floor eating small cakes while others ate each other. Once they saw me many invited me to join them in one-way or another. Although I hadn’t the heart to join, but I must say I was tempted. In any case the end seemed near the world was dark, the trenches deep, I felt relief to have escaped my temptations and sorrows. I was in the dark now. I walked a distance until I came across a beautiful woman who was lovelier then all the rest she told me many sweet and bitter things. My mind told me to run but my heart weighed me down and begged me to stay. My foolish heart stayed with her. She took it from my rattled cage that clattered shut when it was taken from me. I ran away not knowing where to go or when I would awake from my dream. But deep inside a part of me knew then that there was no where I could run nor could I run far enough because my heart was still there and there was no place I could go where I could escape myself.

WHAT??? I know dreams are supposed to be a little off ... but WHAT??? At first it sounded familiar with Lehi and stuff and then you just lost me with the nibbling of toes and eating each other. That was just too random? Maybe I'm just getting old. Hmmm.
