(no subject)
I had the strangest dream last night. Normally, I don't remember my dreams, or don't care to, because they're either tedious or disturbing. This one struck a weird chord, though. First of all, it was a double feature, the intermission being me waking up in a fright, getting a drink of water, and falling asleep again, only to fall back into the same damn dream!
It was a very simple dream. My mother and I were visiting some quaint little town, and we walked down a hill to a strange kind of grassy valley surrounded by stone slabs, with a kind of spire at the very end. There were mountains in the distance. It was beautiful. When we got to a certain point, though, the hill seemed to rotate downwards (I mean the whole thing actually moved), and I thought I was going to fall. This is where it begins to make no sense, of course. This is also where it scared the hell out of me. I laid down with my back to the ground and my heels digging into the dirt as the steep hill started to become a cliffside. The hill stopped moving before I could completely slide off. I looked up, and my mother was just admiring the view, although she was at the same perilous angle I was, except face-down! There was also another woman a little higher up on the hill, and my mother seemed to want me to go and talk to her, but I was a little preoccupied with the idea of falling to my doom, and I was amazed that both my mother and that other woman didn't seem to worry, even though they were both lying on their bellies facing down a very steep hill which seemed to be moving. It was as if the laws of gravity were changing, but only for me, and definitely not in my favor. Maybe I was in M. C. Escher's private Hell. The hill moved again, and I lost my footing. That's when I woke up for the intermission.
I woke up, told myself it was just a dream, drank some water, and went back to see the ending.
The hill had stopped moving, and my mother and the mystery woman were gone. I managed to edge my way back to a place where I could stand up, close to the top of the hill/cliffside. Then I noticed my mother and mystery girl walking down the side of the cliff, and I mean walking perpendicular to the cliff face. I also saw that there were some new partitions put up to keep people from falling (heh!). I got dizzy and fell right over them.
Of course, I woke up in a panic before I hit the ground. (End of movie) I've had many dreams about falling onto, into, or out of things, but I don't remember ever hitting the ground.
Anyway, freaky dream. This one stayed with me all day. I think I'll keep it.
