crazy dream/nightmare
April 16th, 2003 | by john |So I had this crazy nightmare last night… I don’t know where it came about but you really never know where your thoughts from sleep come from so I’m not going to question that.
The dream involved the strangest group of people that I know/knew in my life and I don’t know how this group seemed to have been together in this nightmare.
First of all, it was set in a place sort of like Vegas – we must’ve been on a vacation or something but there were a lot of tall buildings that were furnished like hotels. So anyways, we just arrived at our hotel – seemed like 10-20 stories tall. We were unpacking and one of my friend decided to carry something light and head on up to our room. I carried some of the luggage and decided to go in after him. I saw that there was a group of people waiting for the elevator but as soon as I got sight of them, there was this shrieking noise and the ground started to vibrate like a mild earthquake! The sound was coming from outside definitely and it was getting louder by the second and also moving over my head. Then there seemed to have been a collision directly inside the elevator that everyone seemed to have been waiting for… and for what seemed like 5 seconds – I could see that there was tremendous heat coming from the elevator and surrounding that area. You know when there is a fire and when you look at the area on top of the fire, you can maybe see the air moving around? Well, it was like that except this was warning me that there was a huge explosion coming. Meanwhile, I seemed to have been in a trance mesmerized by this ‘moving air,’ people were running away from the elevator with fear-stricken expressions on their faces. I finally realized that it would not be a good idea for me to just stand there so I started running out to where the others were unpacking the car.
When I came out of the building, the environment was so foreign. The sky was light pinkish and there were trails of black smoke in almost every other directions that I looked. At that time, there was a huge explosion right behind me… from the source I was running from in the first place. The front doors of the building blew off but yet, the people around me and I were still uninjured. My dad was there and he was the only family member that I had in my dream, with a frantic look on his face – he had his hand reached out. I grabbed his hand like I used to when I was little and we ran as fast as we could away from the building that now seemed to have been damaged and on fire- billowing black smoke into the sky.
We could see numerous other tall buildings that were hit with whatever it was… and I could see that a very tall building at a distance was in the act of collapsing completely. Soon, a building near us was collapsing and we had to run away from the rumbling smoke following closely.
