A dream about the beginning of the end
It's been a while since I've last written on this blog post but I usually do for the sake of having something to look back to when it comes to my past. In a way, it serves as my personal memento box giving me something to reflect to later in life. Today I want to record a dream I just had while it's still vivid in my mind. In the dream, we were in Plant City, a small town I had grown up in near a High School I never went to and in the area there was our new apartment that my current girlfriend and I had just moved into. And we were in one of those storage facilities getting more stuff to pack into the car to take back to our new apartment. Her mom was there and she was driving this old Cadillac, and I was outside under the shade of a tree looking out over the facility and these two workers parked outside talking to one another. While my girlfriend was inside our storage unit going through some of our goods, I was outside just wandering around the area and right along a small chain linked fence. In my dreams I don't often dream of sunny skies, mostly it's dark, cloudy or night time but in this instance, it was a bright sunny day. But what caught my attention was that the sky began to cast a shadow over the land, so when I looked up I saw the moon forming an eclipse in the sky as it became a massive shadow, and then very quickly so too did the sun without the moon's help it too became covered in a shadow. So in the bright sky, you'd see two large planetary forms enveloped in shadows. I remember reaching for my phone and trying to take a picture, even going so far as posting it on Facebook so everyone else could see what I was seeing in that instance and in some way to serve as a warning to others. That's when the earth's gravitational pull shifted and grew even more powerful, the winds had picked up in speed much like an angry storm while the rest of the sky started to grow darker. But instead of the winds moving, it was the earth itself moving as it started to spin faster on its axis, all while the ground started to groan and shake from the motions. And all I could hear around me now were the panicked voices of people screaming whereas earlier all I heard were just the sound of children playing outside. I started rushing to our storage unit where my girlfriend was, hoping to get to her but also hoping to find someplace safe to shelter it. I didn't know what to expect, I was in shock and scared for my life, I didn't know if the gravitational force would just give in and force us all out into the sky or if some major flood would occur that we'd all be swept up in or if the sky would collapse and our oxygen would flee from us. And it was hard to run because the gravitational pull was immense and the ground wouldn't stop shaking. For some reason, I was unable to reach her or my path was deterred back to the parking lot, very briefly there was this child walking back the same way and all I saw of his face was panic and fear but determination as well to get back to his parents. At that moment fissures and sinkhole started to form all around us especially near the grassy areas. The kid and I fell into one that was no more than five feet deep, he was able to crawl out and rush back towards his family, all while I followed this trench that it formed back to the parking lot. Eventually, it led me back to my girlfriend's mom who was now outside standing at the end of the trench, huddled there as she looked out towards her surroundings. I could still hear the panicking screams of those around us, terrorized and raw fear but I heard her mom say "They're returning, they're returning back to what they were doing as if nothing was happening." At that moment I looked out and saw a massive crowd of people walking back with vacant and empty expressions, they were returning to their homes but the circumstances didn't change. The sky was still dark with no sun or moon to give out light, the skies were warped up by the motion of the earth spinning fast on its axis with the roaring wind, and the chilling air becoming more colder with the absent of the sun. And the earth hadn't yet ceased to rumble. It was in that moment I finally woke up, and all I could think of was how real that dream felt. Even though it was brief I felt it was important to jot down. This would be one of those dreamed I'd wish to remember. I only wish I could go back to sleep and finish the rest of the dream, continue where we left off. But for now, this is all I have.
