bad dream
Last night, while much of the FB dreamt about fucking TM, I had this really disturbing dream that I was in a city (in my dream, it was Arlington, VA, but that is totally not right, because there were lots of tall buildings) and there was a terrorist attack involving several buildings falling down (not the same way the WTC did, because in my dream they were toppling over like dominoes) and others catching fire. THe building that I was in was okay, but all around was devestation and chaos. So eventually my friends and I went out in some train thing to look at what was going on outside. There were all of these really old men in civil war era costumes who were horribly wounded and/or dead. I guess maybe they were in town for some sort of reenactment and they were outside when all this bad stuff happened. So we were trying to help people and I somehow fell down. When I looked up, there was a woman with a blue face, black long-sleeved gown and long pointy fingers looking at me and starting to reach towards me. I know that she was death but I was powerless to move for some reason.
Then I woke up. And it took me about a minute to figure out where I was and that the light I could see in the bathroom was not actually a fire. That moment, I was incredibly happy to be living in a house in the not-quite-burbs.
Oh, and, I didn't go back to sleep for about an hour because I'm always scared of returning to a bad dream right after it happens.
