A week ago, I had a dream that I just can’t shake. The whole time I was never afraid and stayed totally calm and collected, which is strange, since it’s a crazy dream.
My dad, sister, aunt and I were standing by a shopping center. Some scientists were drilling a hole to the center of the earth, and we were standing about 50 feet from the hole with a crowd of people, wondering if they reached yet.
Suddenly, there was an earthquake. We 4 grabbed each other and started running. My aunt twisted her ankle, but we helped her to a hammock near her house, then continued running home.
We get to my parents’ house, and my mom has some bags prepared for us with clothing and food. My cell phone is dead. I look outside the window, and can see the river. The sky is sunset. There is an airplane falling slowly from the sky some distance away, broken into 4 pieces, and I’m just watching, wondering about the people that were on that plane. Satellites and towers are falling from the sky now too, crashing into buildings and skysrapers around us, but not hurting us specifically. There were some boats in the water with people on them, I guess escaping as well.
We leave the house and get on a yellow school bus, evacuating the city with others, some driving, most are walking. I remember a book I left at home (not forgot, but changed my mind about bringing, and I don’t know what book it was!!), so I said I would go back and meet up with them, since traffic was slow and we were still so close. I go to my house, and get a phone call on the landline from my youngest sister (not the one I was standing with at the beginning), who has stopped back over to my parent’s house for something as well. She says she found a folder addressed to me with a message I should read. I tell her to bring it with her and I’ll meet her on the bus, but wake up just as I hang up.
I don’t regularly watch TV, and I can’t remember the last time I sat down and actually watched a movie beginning to end, so it shouldn’t have much to do with the dream. I have not taken a test lately, but my job has been super stressful. I don’t know whether to quit or to stay, but my nerves/health are starting to get affected. I have been seriously thinking about going back to school too.
