My dream...

[lithera]

I'm going to try not to forget any of this. It was very vivid.

I was walking along a four lane road that was backed up. The traffic was horrible, which might be why I was walking. AS I was walking the dream told me, in the way that dreams do, that America was ruled by one man. It wasn't quite an iron fist dictator thing but recently he was doing things which people were very nervous about, things which were insane. The more recent one was he was going to set off a nuclear weapon... Mainly becuase he could. It was just so insane that.... no one was sure what to do about it.

As I was walking Mike drove up in The Beast and David as in the car with him. We had a short conversation about the traffic. At this point, I noticed that there was an entrance to I-90 here that no one seemed to be taking. And there were food vendors on the side of the road. I alos noticed that there were long verticle cuts on the pads of my fingers. As I was talking to Mike one of the lights on the road turned red. No warning, no nothing and it didn't change back.

I took this for a signal, a sign of some sort. I knew that he had snapped. He was slowly shutting down the ways out. I told Mike to get on I-90 and go, just drive, which he did. As he did that, I was looking for a place to go and I started hiking up the on ramp myself, looking for a pilar or something to get behind myself. I found this sort of grotto with pilars where the on ramp was over them. Almost as soon as I got down there (I knew it wasn't perfectly safe but some how it was my safest option, everything considered).

And then there was an air detonation. It was different than I thought it would be. I don't know how far away from it I was or anything. There was no heat. There was a great shining ball in the sky and the whole world went white. I curled up in a ball and waited. I knew it was okay when someone shook my shoulder. I looked up and it was Ian, which seemed... amazing to me. He was wearing sunglasses and he told me it was time to start moving. I looked aroung the grotto and saw Brian. He was all in dark colors and also wearing sunglasses, he nodded to me. There was someone else there as well, a girl I took with me as I started walking. I knew perfectly who she was in the dream but I cannot figure out who she was now. I'm guessing it is someone I don't interact with face to face.

Anyway, we started walking and there were people freaking out all over the place. Those food vendors had been swamped and Holly was in that crowed, getting Chinese food. I grabbed her and kept going and then I stopped and realized I needed to go find Mike and David. So, we hiked up the I-90 on-ramp. It took a awhile, following the road and a river to find the car. They were fine and in a house that they'd parked at. We were all hanging out and I was trying to come up with a 'what now' plan. Everyone wanted to go their own ways because of loved ones and I understood that but it went against all of the instincts I had. So, I told everyone I would stay where I was while they went and got everyone and brought them back. There was also some grumbling about location because some people would have to go to work..... Or so they thought. I was of the opinion that there probably wouldn't be normality for a few days but... That was where the dream faded away.

So. Yeah. Dream. Ugh. It'll take some time to get that one out of my head, I think.

I like to think of dreams like this as my Catholic dreams. Sometimes I have almost uncontrolable daydreams about nuclear holocost in similar fashion. I thought they were nearly universaly catholic in oragin, but I wonder if they have some more common root now.
