LUCID DREAM
One week ago I had a series of dreams, over a period of four nights, the first depicting the earth surging, splitting and breathing great tongues of fire; I dreamt volcanoes would erupt simultaneously, staining the sky with forks of magma and flame.
On Saturday, you have probably seen the papers, several volcanoes erupted in Chile, and their skies are laden with lighting and fire. I'm frightened; my second dream is stronger on a larger scale, mighty and fiercer than its predecessor:
My second dream is of an irregular ring, viewed of the earth from the sky, the layers beneath this great circle of land are burning away under a powerful furnace of molten rock. The ground begins to tremble, a pit forming in its centre. When I woke, I thought of Yellowstone and felt the breathe rush from my lungs - my throat felt burnt and swollen as if from inhaled smoke and ashes.
My third dream is from the side of a blue mountain, a garden hidden in the rock. I stand in this vast garden between a house and its twin; I am bowing before a teacher, my forehead pressed against the dirt; he tells me we will view a planet alignment visible from the mountain and I rush to the edge of the garden, turning my face to the dark skies.
I am one with the night, amongst a cluster of stars, within an astrologist's map of an ancient scripture, surrounded by the deep blue of the sky. I fly close to the brightest point, I watch the way it will align with its sister planets. I am in the garden again, watching the planes below and the cities within - in the distance the earth rolls high, crumbling and shredding the ground, higher and higher like the formation of a mountain, magnificent in size; from within climes a monstrous wave that devours the cities and surges towards the mountain I stand upon, cutting away the rock and loose earth so that the ground beneath me shudders and groans.
I run to the houses and scream in warning, and then wake.
I want these written down, with the date set firm and true - I don't understand what story the dreams are trying to tell, but I refuse to take them lightly as the first came true.
