ok, so I kinda use lj as a bit of a dream journal, too. but it seems like ever since this aaron thing got like this, my dreams have been so much more vivid.
so here we go:
I was at my house with my family, supposedly waiting for a chance to go visit karl, who was supposed to be here in seattle. we were all sitting in the living room together and finally the anxiety got the best of me, and I said "mom, can I go call aunt penny and ask her if it's ok to go see karl now?" and she grimaced and said she'd already talked to her. "it seems he's not coming afterall. she talked to his sister, and she said that he's too busy. and he just married his girlfriend, and he's...not coming."
then I felt really sad. why hadn't I been invited to his wedding?
we all went out to the deck to talk (and maybe eat, I don't recall). then, a little burning tube landed on the deck, falling from the sky. kate picked it up and examined it, gave it to dad, and someone chucked it so far off the deck that it landed in puget sound.
it got cold, so we went in, but I stayed inside looking out at vashon island from across the water. true, in real life, you can see vashon from the deck, but *not* bainbridge- however in this dream I saw both. whatever.
anyway, I looked out at the island, and suddenly these HUGE plumes of blue smoke erupted for sporatic areas of each island. then, gigantic blue flames rose up. I said, "holy shit, the islands are on fire!" but nobody seemed to care.
then- this is where it got really scary- the flames merged together and went out to the water, kicking all laws of physics in the ass, and combined to make this huge fire monster. it turned from blue to red and started howling, splashing about unrealistically in the water. immeadiately, I thought, wow, this is like anime... and there you go, a mecha comes out of nowhere to exterminate the fire monster.
I watched them kick about and the poor gundam thingy got the piss kicked out of it. this scared me.
the fire thing started shapeshifting to dodge attacks and soon it came right up by my view of the sound, blowing flames that burned down the neighbors' house and our deck. I screamed ballistically, and my parents scolded me to just get away from the window, like it was no big whoop.
kate came over to me to distract me, and asked me if I wanted to play "solitaire" (with two people....erm). so she made these last minute cards by doing something absurd like drawing kings and queens and stuff on pieces of bread, and we played in front of the window.
she tried to block my view, but I couldn't help but look.
