news creeps in...

Dreamt last week...

that I was in Lebanon with my Mom, Dad, Sister and her 2 girls. We are dodging bombs - but the bombs are like big cannonballs. When the cannonballs hit the ground they don't explode they just create huge craters where they hit. Some of the cannonballs, when they hit the ground they burst open and thousands of huge crane-like mechanical birds fly out and fly away. Others fall and burst open with thousands of mechanical butterflies. I tell everyone not to look at them- that even though they are beautiful they are still evil and trying to distract us from looking out for the ones that will hit and kill us.

We get to a building where we will be able to catch a plane home. We are wandering down corridor after corridor - the hallways are light blue and dimly lit. Then a bomb hits and half the building falls away. I am trying to remain calm as I am holding my sisters baby. My breathing is heavy and I am trying to to cry from fear. Just then I tell myself to wake up - that I am dreaming -

... and so I do wake up. Breathing heavy and a little bewildered.
