a dream
last night i had scary dreams...
i was at home with mum and someone else (this person was very important but i don't think they were anyone i know in real life), and there was a huge electrical storm going on outside. i started to get worried cause the storm was getting closer and closer to us, and the others were worried as well. the lightning strikes were getting closer and louder and more frequent, and just when we started to get really scared, we realised that we were all going to get struck and so we tried to run away. from somewhere in my mind i heard that we couldn't get away because it was moving too fast and unless we ran 2500kph we would still get struck. just as the lightning reached our house i realised how futile it was to try to run away, so i looked upwards and prepared to face it. i could see it coming towards us and felt a strange mixture of fear and awe. it was frightening but also very beautiful. at that moment i was sure i was going to die, and that the others would die too. the next thing i knew it was there in the room and we were all being struck by it, though it wasn't painful or anything, just incredibly intense.
when i regained consciousness (still in the dream) i found out that mum had been killed, and aside from being upset at this, i felt very confused because i didn't understand how my friend and i hadn't died. momentarily i forgot about mum and talked to my friend who suggested maybe we'd somehow got magical powers from the lightning and now we could shoot lightning from our hands. i thought this was quite possible and so we tried to do this but couldn't. we were mildly disappointed. then the grief started to set in. i was really upset because mum was dead and there was nothing i could do about it. i went next door to tell the neighbours what had happened and ask if they could help me arrange the funeral. at first they thought i was joking and they started laughing, but then they realised i was serious and offered to do whatever they could.
then mum turned up again, and for some reason i wasn't surpised. she looked fine and i asked to see where she'd been hit by the lightning. she showed me her chest and there was a large burn mark, but nothing more. in the dream this didn't bother me. it seemed evidence enough. the neighbours asked how she was and i answered for her saying "she was dead for a while but now she's ok i think".
after this there was a lot more dream but i can't really remember it except that some friends of the family were involved, and it was quite frightening.
i feel as though this dream has some sort of importance, though i really don't know what. the essence of it has stayed with me, making me feel somehow changed...
