Night of 5-20-07

dry spell ended, at least I hope it is!

It starts out, that I am in my house, and it's just down pouring rain outside. I go to the window, and look out. I see that the heavy rain, is causing a flood. the water is already up to the edge of the window, and rising fast.
I feel the house actualy start to move. It's getting lifted from it's foundation,
and beginning to float. the flood water has a current, and is starting to push the house. The house starts to tilt on it's side, and I am on the side that is tilting into the air. The current gets stronger, and pushes the house into a roll. At the same time, I fall towards the lower part of the house, and begin to tumble around and bounce off the walls, as the house rolls a few times.

It's hard to describe what happens next, because I am a little disorientated.
I'm not sure if I went out a window, or what. but I distinctly remember entering the water, and the house falling away from me. The house is gone now all together, and I am getting pushed along at high speed. The momentum of the water is very powerfull. I am desperatly trying to twist and turn, to avoid getting slammed into things, like telephone poles and trees.
and what ever else may be in my path.

Now the current starts to form a wave. I am on the top of the wave as if surfing. but I am still partially submerged in the water. I am kind of stuck there, the water has a good grip on me. the wave starts out not real huge,
but it is growing as it washes forward. Until it becomes a massive wall of water, hundreds of feet high. It's just like in that movie impact, when the asteroid hits the ocean. And I am riding this monster thing! I can see lots of people running and screaming in terror, trying to get away. I am wondering, how I will manage to survive, once this thing comes crashing down.

Now I am having a hard time, comprehending the situation that I am in, and it starts to click that I am dreaming. At first it's just kind of wishful thinking.
But as I think about it a little bit, the full realization that I am dreaming washes over me. (I love that feeling) I see all the people running in terror,
and I feel bad for them. So I start yelling "this is a dream!" I yell it a few times. I want to let them know they don't have to be afraid.

I have gotten into the habbit, of pretending that my dream characters
are real people. but in my last half a dozen Lucid dreams, I have started doing it in an almost nonlucid way. so I think I will have to stop doing that.

I'm not sure what made me think, yelling this is a dream into a mob of panicked people, would make them feel better anyway. I give up on that and
look around. I see that the wave is very wide. And I can see a couple of other people caught the way I am. I decide I will try to get up, and walk across the top of the wave. I don't like being stuck in the water the way I am. I figure once I get myself free, I will get the situation under control.
and try for a Lucid task. Or talk to an animal. (Moonbeams Task) So I start
to pull myself up from the water, But as I am getting to my feet I wake up
This dream was pretty wild, and very vived. I have a lot a dreams about motion. But this Tidal wave thing was a new one.
