We had a lot of rain come through last night (and off-and-on light rain today), although it was probably not the near-hurricane that it became in the nightmare it inspired. -_-
Like most of my memorable dreams, it involved LJ, but only tangentially. It's a little fuzzier now, but my dream-self had read somewhere on LJ that Colin from The Secret Garden had originally become disabled from a huge storm like the one I was anticipating, in which he'd been shaken from his bed and knocked to the floor. In the dream, I kept referring to him as Charles or Chuck, which I now realize was because I was actually thinking of future-Mrs. O'Keefe's younger brother from A Swiftly Tilting Planet and what happened to him. It all made literary sense in my brain at the time. Anyway, because dream-self was all worked up about this idea, though knowing perfectly well that Colin/Chuck was fiction, the room-shaking force of the dream-storm was terrifying. It felt like a rattling, ongoing, 7.0 earthquake with howling winds and rain. I finally woke myself up to a much less dramatic storm, but it took a while for me to dial down the paranoia.
There was a lot of silliness at work today, which I think was pretty much necessary, what with the Friday and the rain. Weekendyay!
