Dream (within a dream, water theme)
Aug. 15th, 2008 11:15 amI dreamed I was in the backseat of a car driving down a suburban road. I was half asleep with my head pillowed up against the window and watching the scenery go past.
A bird on a lightpost took flight and as it flew paralell with the car it changed and grew and became a sea-dragon swimming through the sky. Half whale and half dinosaur with a pointed snout and huge flippers. It was joined by a small whale and in the distance I could see great humpbacks breaking the surface of the town.
water rose between the buildings in great rushes and waves but the whales didn't seem to need it and they would dance sometimes below the surface and sometimes in the sky. The water rose and rose and I was afraid and i knew I was dreaming so I changed the water to wooded hills with dome-roofed palaces above them. The car I was in drove and drove and I rested in the beauty and stillness and in my dream I slept.
when I woke from the dream within a dream I was behind the wheel of my car in a parking lot in the small town I had lived in in Florida, across from the Marina store. I was upset and disoriented and I remembered spinning around and thought maybe I'd wrecked my car. My phone was hard to work but I got hold of Sam and he came and got me out of my car and I hadn't wrecked.
A woman was there then and we were inside and Sam was talking all gentle as the woman put an IV in my arm.
I woke again but still inside the dream and we were home and a man was fixing the problem electrical outlets.
Sam thought I needed a break after the electrician left and we went to this aquarium where there were more critters out of the tanks than in them and this weird hopping-snake landed on my leg and I screamed and on the way out we had to step on leeches to get to the door and they were falling on us as we ran to the car.
Somewhere after that I woke up for real.
