A bunch of friends, we had a good day of cycling together and we are back at my house. A beautiful clear late summer evening, we got the grill going and everyone’s out on my large wooden deck, now joined by our anti-cycling friends… they make fun of us about our lycra cycling clothes, colorful sunglasses and helmets saying we look like a bunch of alien insects.
Ghostly transparent moon becoming bigger and brighter in the corner of the twilight orange sky turning deep dark blue as we had our noisy dinner and drinks. As the night progressed no one except just a few people hanging out by the corner deck railing are looking at the moon. I’m busy talking with the group sitting around the deck table, running in and out of the house bringing drinks out. We are louder than the scattered splitter groups in the backyard and the outer decks. Just a beautiful night and everyone’s having a good time. Some people, especially the older married folks left as the night deepened but the party is still going quite strong though now we have maybe some 10+ people remaining.
Now near a full moon, it was high up in the clear dark blue night sky and we could see unusually high amount of bright stars. As everyone looked at the sky and had full moon jokes etc and then scattered again we heard some one saying “Wah, what is that? There is a tiny red spot on the moon!” Everyone said, “Oh, cut her off” but I looked and there really was some kind of a bright red pinpoint size something but barely visible unless you stared at the spot very carefully. I looked at it for a while then I lost track of it because a lone cloud drifted by the moon and we couldn’t see it clearly anymore. I’m running in and out of the house continuing to party.
Then later I heard someone say “Wow, look at it, it’s gotten bigger! What is it?” and another one said “It’s beautiful…”. By then everyone went out to the edge of the deck leaning on the deck railing looking at the moon mesmerized. As we looked at the red spot growing bigger like a beautiful intense red blooming tiny flower, we saw faint orange purplish glow on the backside silhouetting the moon. Then we saw a very faint single whitish red super fine streak of line going away from the moon making a long line all the way across the sky to the horizon. Then nothing, but the red spot seemed to deform very slightly then we saw two more red streak going opposite direction.
Somehow TV was on and there was news coverages with cameras zooming in at the moon with speculative comments and showing people’s reactions; their eyes were just way too big I remember. On the closer view on the TV, you could see some kind of explosion, like a volcanic eruption or something, and a whole lot more sparks coming off the thing. We then saw a much bigger crimson streak across the sky out of nowhere and later saw very distant orange glow light up the sky like a small sunset but much much brighter.
By now some people gathered in front of TV in the living room and some left… don’t know where. I walked out to the street and people are starting to fill the streets but strangely calm and walking very slowly… all seemed to walk towards the same direction. I ran back in the house and was watching CNN now. Right then I felt the ground roll a little like… an earthquake or something and I could see the sky getting brighter with more and more bright crimson glow coming from different directions now, and I could barely make out some type of very low pitch humming coming from what direction I couldn’t tell.
I looked at the moon and the whole edge of the side, where the red spot was, seem to have deformed slightly but now you couldn’t make it out much because there was such bright flashes coming from it. Everything looked like as if it was lit with some kind of bright artificial light… and streets were completely filled with people now walking slowly like obedient zombies towards somewhere, some central location. On the TV they were showing all these Hindi or Arab dignitaries and their families(?) also very slowly walking towards a long dock built on the side of this rocky peninsular of land that jutted out on a lake or sea which was lined up with these 1930s(?) looking sea planes but like big airliners with very long narrow wings and multiple prop engines, like 4 or 5 on each wing, floating, taxying on the water and docked with the passenger doors open with flight attendants ready to board them. I am now out on the street walking and looking at everyones walking slowly and very quietly, even the kids, towards I don’t know where but I’m no longer panicking either and I’m walking with them… then I woke up.
This dream is as vivid as the night I dreamt it and it stays right there in my head. The strange feeling I get is like I’m in the dream right now. It was about a year ago but it stays with me like I just woke up from the dream.
Have any dreams that’s strangely vivid, weird and just stays with you?
