dreams (tsunamis)

[cinder]

I've had six tsunamis dreams and each is very different from one another. I've just remembered the first two and fourth ones this morning after having my fifth - but now that I've remembered them, they are very vivid and Ima share on this site, because I figure y'all are very creative and might be like oh this is very simple. Apparently tsunamis washing over people means an emotional cleansing, but mine always end differently XD

The first was a few years ago, I'm in a house in Malibu and the owner entreats me to go downstairs with him. Usually this is the point when I flee because he's trying to kill me (the guy had the look of a creeper). Instead, he showed me that under his house that was built into the rocks by the beach, half of his "downstairs" was a glass wall, and that I could very easily watch sea-creatures from the glass wall. It was a bit clearer than the usual Malibu waters would be, and filled with marine life. I was entranced, until something started sucking at the ocean. The man reassured me it was natural, and meant to happen. This is when the glass broke and I made a mad, unrealistic dash for the higher level. The man was taken out to sea, and I waited in his home for the tsunami, but didn't tell any of my companions about what I'd witnessed, and when the tsunami came, it parted along our house and I watched it, but none of my friends seemed interested.

Another time we were driving along Malibu coast, and I noticed a man running after our car. We didn't stop, we just kept driving, but he started to get on our coast-side of the car until he herded us onto a mountain pass, just as the tsunami wave started to be visible in the distance (I hadn't noticed how far back the sea was at that point). We just kept driving until I woke up, but the devastation was everywhere we went.

My third time was beautiful. I was in huge, futuristic building situated in deep waters, along the coast of a clear ocean. Some of the walls were glass so I had the pleasure of looking out on the bountiful marine life. I was a guest of one of the apartment owners, we watched the waves crashing around, and then went to eat a snack. When we came back, the waves weren't even anywhere near our floor, they were so low. But because the waves were usually so high along the building, it made perfect sense to me that this was their version of low tide. Until a massive wave came upon a large boat about a mile out, and toppled it. Then it came upon our building, but it was nowhere near high enough to reach us now, we'd moved up the building for lunch after all. But the waves kept trying. Every now and then people would fall off their balconies and into the waves, you'd hear glass crashing from a lower level, and water would enter a less savory apartment. But we were the richy riches, so our apartment wouldn't have flooded even if we hadn't been so high up now. We planned to evacuate the building, nonetheless. But when we turned to go out, the water had covered the coast line. It was shallow, only about five feet, but it was enough. And the ways kept coming. There were a few titanic-worthy scenes of being chased by water while searching for provisions on levels we weren't familiar with. Eventually we all realized the waves were trying to take the building, and that we'd have to move floors up to survive. But I knew the waves wouldn't take us for years, and we all kept relatively calm, even as the endless tsunami kept raging.

In one night, I had a dream at Santa Monica pier and another where I controlled San Diego city and rearranged buildings to save peoples lives. The Santa Monica dream was a sort of "field trip" to the new cut-out glass "wild marine life" holes they'd cut right next to the pier. It was about half a mile out, and you could walk around glass cut-outs in the floor where there were large tanks of sea creatures built in. There was also a submarine walk where you could see most of the tanks from their sides. It was charming, until a siren started blaring and we left the pier. But now before we saw that around us and the tanks, the water was low and all of a sudden, a tsunami wave was coming, washing over the tanks and freeing the sea creatures. I was several people pulled under, but didn't worry. I stood in the parking lot with a stranger, and we commented on the devastation like old friends watching a movie. The next dream (both of which I had in San Diego) took place in San Diego. I worried for the city, so I rearranged sky-scrapers to block the waves so that smaller buildings wouldn't suffer. We lived in Venice-like third and above stories, and the waves crashed on the city, breaking many of the tall buildings but never reaching the important ones. It was refreshing after the last dream to be saving people rather than peacefully watching them die.

My most recent dream, yesternight, had to do with HGRPG! We had an island, and the staff had a state of the art mansion I didn't even realize was there, because I didn't even realize the island belonged to HGRPG. I was visiting with my two besties. However, I noticed the waves had gone down and told everybody we had to get to high ground and brace ourselves. Some geniuses had the idea to go swimming on the OTHER side of the island, because they thought the island would shield them from the tsunami. Naturally it washed over the lower levels and swept some people away, but some of the geniuses some how lived. The second wave was larger and swept through the higher grounds I was on with my two friends, who decided to go swim on the other side of the island too. I was caught up in a wave and dropped the provisions I'd stolen from a shop boy in case we needed food/fresh water. Finally I entreated my friends to go to even HIGHER ground with me. The highest ground was right in front of where the tsunamis kept hitting. It was a risk. It was the HGRPG staff mansion. Once I got there, I recognized the island was HGRPG owned, and was granted access by the code combination on the backdoor of the staff mansion, suspiciously empty of staff no matter how many times I screamed a bunch of names into the house. But there was a helicopter pad on the roof, so I figure you guys escaped before the tsunami XD Anywho, we hunkered down in the building, a few high tech things happened, and I survived (along with the whole island of geniuses, goshdarnit) the tsunami. I woke up happy that I'd saved my two friends and well, it was nice c:

Thats all for now, folks!
