I was on vacation in India (in my mind, though it was more a blend of India, Thailand and Hawaii) with my mom... we were stying at this resort nestled into a lush, green mountain where the fanciest villas were at the top and as u walked down they became more 'moderate'. It was relaxing, beautiful and being with nature was exhilarating, even in my dream.
.
It was getting near dusk, I was walking down the steep main walkway, clad in a tank top and shorts to enjoy the fantastic weather - and my canvas bag thrown across my body - I caught sight of the incredible sunset being reflected in the water from the nearby sea. I reached into my bag to grab my camera - one of those moments you thank God for having a point-and-shoot handy. I began to move to capture the best shot - looking through the viewfinder, I marveled that the pale, milky blue of the sky turned into a lovely amethyst and fuchsia combo - and was mirrored in the pale reflection of the water. Crouching down, I could just capture the scene before me in such a way that there was nothing between the sea and the sky and me... no buildings, no trees, nothing. I pulled the camera down and looking up, slowly, saw that the water was arc-ing over my head . In a panic I looked around me and with nowhere to go, I stuffed my camera into my bag, and with a set of prayers, braced myself for what would ensue.
The water pulled me heavily down and I was lost and overpowered - being pulled in many directions. I came to and I was at the bottom of the big hill... past the resort, into a suburban style neighborhood. I got up and assessed myself and I was actually okay. I began my slow trek back up the mountain...
Now that I have been mulling this dream over, I wonder - what the hell does this dream mean? Another things, a huge tidal wave and I am literally the only one affected by it? No one else running through the streets - houses and trees and the world, seemingly intact. Weird.
