I was driving down to the gas station with my mom and my brother around 5:00pm. The moon was in the sky already. Or should I say moons? There were 3 moons in the sky. I asked my mom if she saw that too, and she said she did. Wierd.

We kept driving down to the gas station. My brother turned into a catepillar. So did my best friend when I was a kid, who happened to be visiting. My brother got caught in a spider web, and was knocked out with a toxin, but not dead. I pulled him out of the spider web, and it ripped him in half. I kept telling him to wake up and come back, knowing that if he came back he wouldn't be ripped in half. My mother continued to pump gas.

Sure enough, he came back. And then the gas station attendant shouted the apocalypse was here, and started shooting everyone. He shot my best friend. He shot my brother. He shot a couple of other people around. I think he shot me too, but aparently, I survived. He shot my mom. He went over to make sure she was dead. At this point, she stopped pretending and smashed his head in with hood of her car. His brains spilt over. My mom died.

I convinced a guy who had a cherry picker to lift me up so I could see those moons again. While I was up there, I saw bombs fall without explosions. Instantly the terrain changed from red and forboding to green. I decided to walk around.

I saw people running around, and I knew that the end was in fact near. This was the apocalypse. I walked around for what seemed like months, getting used to the terrain finding out what went wrong. All the while in the back of my head there was a man with long black hair and a weird nose.

Suddenly I was pulled underground by 3 hot women. I was shocked to find out that the bombs didn't just change the scenery, they changed DNA so that some women were now part male, and some guys were now part female. I was a bit freaked out and ran back up to the surface.

I stumbled into a back yard of sorts where I saw numerous decapitated bodies by a fence. I heard a gun click. There behind me were 2 kids and their father. Or mother. I can't really tell. At this point I thank god that I stayed the same.

All three of them had a gun pointed at me, and suddenly the origin of the decapitated bodies was made clear. I don't know how but I convinced them that not to kill me and that we had to get to a safer location.

We start running. At this point, I see the full effect of the new vegetation. I see the whole valley that was once a desert now a jungle, full of mutated life and even some prehistoric life. God, could you please get this over with. I'm beginning to hate the apocalypse. I see something move in the vegetation. I pause. The people gave me a gun. I pointed it at the movement. It was a combo bunny-hornytoad. It was pretty ugly. I see a looming shadow headed our way.

Suddenly we start running from a pterodactyl or however thats spelt. It picked the two kids off pretty easily. We have a choice, keep running and try to find shelter, or stay under this same tree. My video game skills kick in and suddenly, I form some kick ass plan to get to the other tree thats about a mile away. Oh, did I mention trees were about a mile high? As we were running, we got pulled into that underground place again, with a "oh, it's you again."

Using their underground lair, we go as far as we can. Luckily enough for us, there is a medical center right there. I run inside screaming that the end is near, and that I needed to talk to someone. The man with the long black hair and the nose popped out.

"It's insane out there. There are all kinds of creatures, new moons, weird vegetation! The apocalypse! It's the apocalypse!"

At this point the guy looks at me and says.

"well, at least now there is no need for a neverland" and he smiled and laughed.

At this point I woke up.

And I said aloud "Michael Jackson was behind it the whole time!!!"

And that is the freakiest dream I have had in years.

What the what... How odd.

Well this is as good a place as any to tell about the dream I had with ElJay in it. It was a couple nights ago, I was staying at a friend's house.

I dreamed the house was a bit bigger, and that it was out in the middle of nowhere. I was hanging out with them and looking at their goldfish when I saw out the window that Eljay was here, in her truck. There were a couple of other people around, I didn't recognize them, men in suits. Whatever.

So I tell them that ElJay was looking at the house to live there before they moved in, and she comes in with a housewarming gift, a bowl of goldfish. It looks weird, the bowl, like three tiny bowls melted together in some weird way. And there were a ton of goldfish in there, A TON.

So I was charged with pouring the bowl of goldfish into the larger tank, so I went into the kitchen to do something with the water, and I realized there was a tiny man in the tank with the fish. He got out of the tank and while I was fiddling with the taps, the burners on the oven flared up and his legs burned off. I was like whatever, because my weird logic said that since he was so small, it wouldn't bother him.

It didn't, so that was OK. The dream went on to weirder stuff, but ElJay was no longer involved. Thought she'd like to know. It was weird because the friend I was staying with has weird dreams like that that involve goldfish really often. I stole her dreams. [Smile]

T, it sounds to me like the already-apocalyptic thoughts in your head were intensified by the London bombs.

Not just the London bombs, I think.

I think this was a combonation of:

1)The Michael Jackson case.
2)Watching Jurrassic Park 2
3)The London Bombs
4)A documentary I watched a week ago on Discovery on hermaphrodites.
5)War of the Worlds

I honestly don't know where the heck the first parts of it came from. Probably Peter Pan.. I watched that on, I think HBO 2 weeks ago.

It's like my brain couldn't process all of it and spat it back out at me.

I still crack up everytime I think of "It was Michael Jackson all along!"

Did you see War of the Worlds? Some of your dream seems very similar to that movie...

Last night (well, this morning) in my dreams I was trying to assemble a pinkish-lavendar bunny out of my kids' legos. I was grumbling about how much I hate those little lego kits that come together to make just one thing, but then the pieces get lost and it never gets made again, and the weird pieces that it came with are little use. I was mourning the old days when you just bought a whole bunch of legos with cool different pieces and no one told you what to make out of 'em.

No, I have never seen a pinkish-lavendar bunny made out of legos before in my life.

I saw 'War of the Worlds' and have had 2 apocalyptic dreams.

One about aliens which I dont remember.

The other one was SO weird. It was just last night. I forgot about it until just now.

I was with my mom at the car dealer place.(we had just gotten a new car in real life) The dealer offered her something else but she declined it and left. The dealer then was grinning like he was angry. Just now I realize that I think he was supposed to be Greg Stilson from 'The Dead Zone.' In the book he's supposed to be the cause of the apocalypse. Anyway, from then on in my dream he was trying to kill me.

For some reason he wasn't Stilson anymore, he looked like Jim Bowie from 'The Crystal City' and somehow he had really strong powers (like Calvin's maybe; I was reading the part of 'The Crystal City' before I fell asleep where Jim Bowie and Calvin first talk alone.) Most of the dream involved me going through ruins of buildings and houses and kept running into Stilson/Bowie and tryin to get away. I don't know whether Stilson/Bowie was the cause of the destruction or if he was just helping it or using it to his advantage.

Anyway, there were these planes or spaceships or something in the sky and I'd somehow gotten ahold of a speaker thingy that communicated with them. I was on the roof of a mostly ruined one floor brick building. Stilson/Bowie was there too. I think there was someone else there who was on my side. I(We?) jumped into a hole and took cover in the wreckage inside the building. I yelled into the speaker to fire all its ammo right above me. I heard explosions and Stilson/Bowie screamed. He was dead (even though the roof was still up). I slept for a little while longer w/o any dreams before I woke up. I only remembered it for a second and I was happy b/c it was my first 'epic' dream that turned out happily (for the most part). I pretty much forgot about it until just now.
