Tsunami From Space
Here’s a dream that I had over the weekend. It’s a very strange one. I’m sure it means something, but I have no idea what.
I walked out of my house, and looked to the west towards the mountains. I saw a huge wave of water falling from space and washing over the Rocky Mountains. The water washed down the slopes and into my town. The odd thing wasn’t the water, but the fact that I was in my hometown back in Texas. However, the town had been moved to the town that I currently live in. I accepted this oddity in my dream, and set out to save all of the houses that I cared about back in my hometown.
I ran from house to house preparing it for the water that was coming. Since the water was coming from the west, I knew that if I shored up the houses on the western side of the house, everything would be ok. The trick was to protect the windows. If the windows were covered, then the wave would wash over the house, and leave it untouched. I ran around all of the houses that I’ve lived in, all of the houses of my loved ones, and a few places that were dear to me back home.
I found myself covering the windows with large boxes of Frosted Flakes cereal. It seemed like the perfect covering, and it was doing the job just fine. However, I was the only person doing this, and I needed help. As soon as I realized that I needed help, my little sister showed up to help me out. She was killed in 1997 by a drunk driver, and I think this is the first time that I’ve dreamed about her. I’m sure that I dreamed about her shortly after her death, but I don’t recall any of them.
Anyway, Jill and I ran around town covering windows with boxes of Frosted Flakes. We got along great, and I realized how much I miss her being around. We managed to save all of the buildings that were dear to us, but there was huge amounts of devastation. I saw in my mind’s eye a combination of the damage done by the tsunamis in Sumatra, and the flooding done by hurricane Katrina. I didn’t witness either one personally, but with the global media, I was able to view the damage done by both of those natural disasters.
I woke up to the phone ringing. It put the dream out of my mind while I talked to my friend, but as soon as I hung up, I wanted to get back to sleep. I wanted to spend more time with my sister, but I knew that it was just a dream. I got out of bed, and went about the day. However, the whole day was filled with thoughts about everyone that I miss back home.
