Can't think of anything interesting to post, so how about this!
I've had many dreams through out my life just like anyone else, some dissolve into a fading swirling mist on awakening, and some stay with you, clear and vivid images like those on a cellulose film! Although I had this particular dream several months ago it is like watching a dvd over and over until it becomes ingrained into ones memory, it's very science fiction, maybe because I'm a sci-fi addict at heart? Who knows....
MY DREAM:
I am walking down a street, a street like any other...it is day time and all is quiet, there is no one around, the streets are deserted. I do not recognize this street, it is strange to me but I am walking along it nonetheless. I can feel a certain quality in the air...it feels like static electricity and from behind me comes an ever strengthening breeze which makes me stop, turn around and face it, the breeze hits my face and I squint in its wake...I look down the empty street, the breeze is blowing up all sorts of rubbish from litter bins and producing a confetti like affect as it hurls towards me, bits of paper slap against my body and face, I cover my eyes against it and turn back around and start to run for reasons unknown.
The breeze is no longer passive but now blows with a potency, it has a purpose as if a mysterious driving force was guiding it to its will, it slams against my back making me lurch as I run down the street. Several hundred feet later I stop again, I look up, the sky grows dark as it does when a huge rain cloud has appeared and threatens a torrent, but these are different, there are black clouds forming but not like normal ones...they seem active in the sense of exaggerated motion....like a speeded up piece of film, the clouds are expanding fast, bubbling with the speed of an erupting volcano.
I am standing there gazing up at this spectacle unable to move, transfixed by its awesome beauty... everywhere has grown dark as this scene unfolds, it reminds me of an eclipse.... a half light. The clouds are getting lower as they expand and my gaze is distracted by movement below, I peer down the street and from my view point I can see sparks approaching fast, I cover my face again as the sparks hit me, I turn my back on them and brave opening my eyes once more... the whole area was covered with these flying sparks as far as the eye could see, they reminded me of the effect if you use bellows on a coal fire and white hot embers erupt over the hearth! They were being driven by the now violent wind that had enveloped the area... but they were not burning me on impact they just dispersed and vanished.
I decided to start running again to try and get clear of the storm, but no matter how fast I ran the sparks were ever present and moving way faster than I was, there was no obvious escape. I ran a little further when suddenly the sparks abated and the wind grew calmer and became the mild breeze it once was, I slowed down and stopped running, turned around and looked down the street once more... there was still no one in sight, I was alone it seemed. Suddenly an enormous shadow appeared on the ground, there was something happening in the sky above... I looked up to see a colossal shape pierce the clouds as it came into view... it was a space craft of immense proportions, it was getting lower as if trying to land somewhere, but where? It was huge, bigger in fact than the spaceship seen in 'Independence Day' so where was it going?
Hypnotic as the sight of this ship appearing was, I watched intently as its full size was revealed... I could no longer see the sky, all there was was the ship engulfing the horizon. It was oblong in shape, with two distinct halfs that made it look like two squares joined together, the front of the ship was the smaller part and the rear the larger, obviously for the engine I thought. The ship moved gracefully through the air, moving right above me... so close it seemed, I thought I could touch it. Nothing else existed in those few moments when the ship appeared, I was still transfixed by its presence when suddenly it lunged downwards toward the ground and caused a disturbance in the atmosphere which produced a crack of thunder and a flash of lightening, I ducked and fell to the ground thinking I was going to be crushed to a pulp, but as I lay there the ship roared above me and as I watched the sky behind me was getting lighter, sun light was returning as the ship headed groundward. The ship was now so low I could make detail out as I ventured to sit up and watch its monsterous shape pass overhead, there was a rumble from the ground, the ship had made contact with the ground but it was still moving, disappearing right in front of me as it sank ever deeper into the ground, then a shock wave was produced which washed over me and knocked me back down, I found myself lying on the ground again when all went silent, eerily so.
Sunlight hit my face, I lifted my arm to cover my eyes as I sat up and peered about, the breeze had gone but the street was strewn with litter and debris. I got to my feet and gathered my senses, I staggered forward in the direction of the now vanished ship and soon found myself nearing a corner in the deserted street, as I came to the corner and rounded it I couldn't believe my eyes, there was nothing there... the road had gone, the houses had gone, every detail that had once been a part of the landscape had gone, vanished, as if something had come along and used a giant scoop and picked everything up and carried it off. I stood there at the brink of a crater looking down into its murky depths, it was like the vision one would see if an ocean had suddenly drained and all that was left was the sea bed but without the water.
I stood there for a while stunned, I was looking at a newly formed continent, a barren landscape of emptiness. I had an uncontrollable urge to start running again, to get away from this place as if a menace was growing and seeking me out. I turned away and headed back down the way I had come and soon found myself running down the street again. As I ran I was occasionally flipping my head around to see if I was being followed by anyone, I had this uncanny instinct that I was, a little further down the street I peered behind me again and I saw four men in dark suits pursuing me, they were giving chase... I panicked and ran harder down the street and came across a big building with a glass frontage, I dashed into it and found myself in a room I had entered from a door in a nearby adjacent corridor, I was now talking to three people I know, one a close friend, the other, someone I know from another blog... this person, a woman, has a son who was also there but I could not make out any recognizable language emanating from their lips.
I left the room and wandered back down the corridor to some stairs, I skipped down the stairs to the bottom and was now facing the main glass door, I was just about to exit the building when the four men who had been pursuing me appeared outside, I stopped in my tracks and spun round, the stairs were now gone (or I couldn't see them?) but what I could see was a hatch up near the ceiling with the flap or cover missing... just big enough for me to fit into, I made for it when the four men began to enter the building and as I jumped up to enter this hole I woke up...
I can still remember it all, even now! I spent most of the afternoon phased out by that dream, it seemed so fricking real.....whoa!!
