A Disturbance in the Force
I just woke up from very interesting dream. Visually, it was stunning. For some reason, I was on an inflatable canoe (the canoe was highly elevated - like twelve feet high) trip with a few childhood and college friends in the wetlands around Charleston, S.C. All was going fairly well, when the moon came out in the dusk and I started noticing, and pointing out to others, small explosions on the surface of the moon. It looked like the moon was getting hit with large rocks - there also began small atmospheric explosions in the earth's sky. At this point, a bluish arc of what looked like a double strand of lightening reached down from the moon and hit a very large building in Charleston proper - resulting in complete destruction of the not only the building but the entire horizon - with a flattening cloud moving toward us. Nothing was left of the city at all - we could see from where we were that the city that used to be on the horizon was gone - flat - and this foggy cloud had spread out where the city was. Since dusk was settling in, the complete lack of the city really brought out how dark the night was becoming - there was no electricity, so the horizon was a deep blue. Somehow (you know how dreams are) I knew that an enormous wave of water had to be heading our way, so we all began paddling in a frenzy to get out of the area and to higher ground. After paddling for a while, and making very good headway, I glanced up at this very bright light rising in the sky, which I saw as the sun, until one of my companions commented that it was spinning. Once he said that, I realized that it was actually the moon and it was spinning very rapidly. It also had a large chunk removed from its lower left area - leaving a flat indention on that part of what used to be a perfectly round sphere. The spinning of it was shocking to see (and beautiful) - and I knew at that point that nothing would ever be the same again. We did out pace the enourmous wave that came in, although we witnessed it arriving; breaking over some outlying hills. The dream degenerated a bit at that point and we all ended up staying at a college friend's house there in a residential part of the city that wasn't destroyed. It was a very cool dream to watch and be a part of, but it was definitely not a good time for Charleston.
