Weird Dream...
Weird dream last night! (Actually it was this morning after I fell back asleep)... So, in my dream the end of the world was on its way, but hadn't interfered with daily living yet. I got a job babysitting for this boy who couldn't have been older than 6, named Amp...yeah. Then at one point (without Amp) I was approached by this woman who told me that when the world ended, she and her people were going to take a spaceship out of here, and then she asked me if I wanted a spot. I said yes, thinking that I didn't want to die.
So flash forward and the end of the world was going to happen soon, like in a day. For some reason we all went to this big stadium, and it seemed like we were waiting for whatever was going to happen. I had Amp with me and he was really scared. I told him I would take care of him and that it would be OK. The next thing I knew I was on the spaceship with the people, when I realized I did not have Amp with me. I turned to the woman in charge and asked her if I could bring him, and she said no. I got really upset and tried to reason with her, telling her we needed kids, I guess to have a balanced out population. She still said no. I came up with a plan to go get Amp and stow him away so that he could come with us, but when I tried to leave I realized that the ship had already taken off!
I was really distressed but after a while I knew there was nothing I could do, so I went and sat next to one of the windows and watched all the people get smaller and smaller. Jack was sitting next to me looking pretty grim. As I watched the people, I saw my family all together. They didn't look scared, and I even think my dad was throwing a ball for Ziggy. I remember thinking to myself "Bye, Mommy, bye Daddy, bye Alex, bye Eric," and then I started to cry. I looked over at Jack for some support but he was totally stoic. At first I thought he was angry with me for crying but then I realized he was just sad too. And then I either thought or said out loud, "I don't know if I want to live my life without them in it..." Then I woke up.
It put me in a real funk and it makes me want to cry every time I think about it! Yeesh... Normally I'm pretty good about interpreting dreams but this one makes no sense to me.
