I know this is weird.. I never had dreams like this as often as I do now. I used to have dreams of like this every once in a while but most of my dreams are of a good nature like building things etc. The past year though I have been getting more and more frequent dreams of catastrophe's and weather. I take my dreams pretty serious and have been very fortunate. When I was young I would get some that were so real then find myself with dejavu when I would go into buildings or meet people that I could tell you everything about them or knew exactly where stuff was in buildings because I had been there. Now last nights dream was not catastophic but more of panning.
In the dream I am walking the halls of a grand building granit floors and beautiful art on the walls to a meeting room with a huge table. At the table were general's and other people of importance at the head of the table was the president. I am not sure which president because he really didn't have a face but you knew he was the president. There I sat on a chair along the wall. The breifing was serious they knew something was going on and had to prepare. There was news of talks of war and we had to plan on sending more troops on another side there was a man telling of a possible enviromental catastophy. the President's shoulders slumped in sorrow and everyone at the table looked sad. they told of how they would be able to protect some in bunkers that they had built. but that it was imperitive to save the human race. The plan was to sent seven groups each to be split up into divisions of men and women. More women than men. the physician, a surgeon, a mechanic, construction worker and engineers, pharmacologists and philosopher scientists and mathamiticians electricians and one that studies herbs and how to convert them. all to be placed in different spots along the globe different races and religions. One group was to go to the space station, one to the north south east and west, the small groups were sent to places build just for them. after they had gone to the corners of the earth the great day came. This day men are walking somberly into battle. the leaders head off to the bunkers that they had built. some make it but some don't mostly because in the preparation of these they didn't really take into account the knowing when and with the pent up greed waited to long to move in. Then there is a flash lightning in the northwest sky. I am no longer sitting in the hall of planning but on a sidewalk facing the lightning. there is a rush as the animals people are caught unaware the information hadn't really been put out because of fears of mass panic.
Electricity is gone and people turn to nomadic houses are ripped from wind and a quaking of the earth Volcano's erupting the birds and animals are fleaing from some unseen menace It is a dark time.. cold becomes hot wind bugs no power. People trying those in the bunkers find that they had built on a shifting land and are sealed in screaming for help and having no way to get them out. People above ground some are just rushing left and right turning more animal like in nature. a child sitting in the street crying catches my eye.
Then I am no longer standing on the sidewalk watching this but it is dawn. and small communities are more communal. A group of people sitting in a circle as I teach today we are building a green house and everyone is working together as a group.

Dream Date: Jan 5, 2010
This dream seems to be full of symbolism. I woke from the dream and typed notes into my phone so I could remember the details. I felt the dream was telling me something.
I was standing in a forest facing a swift moving freshwater stream/river. It seemed a bit deep and was about 50 feet across. It was afternoon and the sun was high but a bit behind me so I knew that I was facing east at the river. (The sun was RED) That puts me on the west bank of the river and the river was flowing north to south (left to right) past me.
I got the impression that downstream (to my south) there was going to be a large disruption. I could envision the water hitting something and it would cause some problems. I then acknowledged the message about downstream so I then focused on what was upstream. The message "Wolf ed Turtle" entered my mind. I have no idea what that means. I googled "Wolf ed Turtle" and the results point to a native american parable titled "The Turtle, The Wolf and The Stream"! This parable apparently teaches a lesson in humility and how bragging about or being overconfident in your abilities will usually lead to your downfall.

This dream was the 2nd dream in a night which I remembered. I usually consider myself lucky if I have one that I remember!
The details are vague as I barely recall what was going on. After I had the dream I entered it into my phone so I would remember what was going on. The notes on my phone read: "France package missing while Times Square lockdown"
All I remember is that I was expecing some sort of package from France. It was a small brown box. I do not know what was inside but it had not arrived. I looked out my window and Times Square was on lockdown.

I think I had this dream on Jan 9, 2011 but I have been very busy so I did not get a chance to enter it into the DreamBase until now...
In the dream, there was some sort of global power outage. The dream was taking place quite some time after this big power outage but I knew that it happened and that society had adapted to the "new life after electricity". In the dream I was in a small community which reverted to rural life. Apparently there were many communities like this as urban life decayed after the "outage". There was no running water, limited machines due to scarcity of fuel, and people were living life like it was 1811 instead of 2011. It was overall peaceful but difficult life. A true community. People would talk about "when things turn back on" and how good it will be but most didn't think it would happen anytime soon.
While I was in this dream, things apparently did turn back on. Everybody in this small rural town was very excited that things would possibly return to normal soon. A shuttle bus arrived in the town and picked me up so I could go to the airport and head 'home' wherever that was. I was on this shuttle bus with about 20 other people that were planning on going to an airport which just started functioning.
As we approached the airport, we looked out the window and noticed something strange. There were other shuttle busses and utility vehicles but they were all very advanced and could hover and fly around. Everybody on the bus (except for one) was shocked because we did not remember this kind of technology existing before the "outage". The one person that was not surprised told us that we were new and we had to understand that things did not turn back on - we just entered a new world. The man pulled out a DVD type disk and told us that this disc contained all the information that would help transition us and that we were welcome to this new world.
We watched the disc and it explained that this new world is just like the world we came from except it was an alternate reality. Instead of so many wars and corruption, this world had always been built on different principles. This world valued innovation, creativity and progress but shunned greed, lies and corruption. They showed how the country which was the analog to the United States had elected different presidents through the 19th and 20th centuries and that technology had progressed so much faster than our old world. That is also why the old world was "turned off". This alternate world would only accept those that fit the profile and could adapt to this selfless place. They explained that it is not exactly a utopia, but progress was fast and people worked hard because everybody believed in making things continuously better. That is why we were seeing things like flying cars and/or hovercraft, and we were told that medicine, science, technology were all so much more advanced that our old world. Famine and poverty simply did not exist because they did not have to exist. This world existed in the same "time" but did not exist in the same plane, so to speak.
Emotionally, I felt so excited to be able to take part in such a positive thinking world. I knew that it would take me a little time to adapt to the place, but the community I lived in and worked with when the power went out in the old world had helped me make the transition.
That was the end of the dream. I woke up and was a bit disappointed to find myself here in a world full of selfishness, greed and hatred. It does help me try to be a better person though, and since this dream I am becoming much more aware of when I act poorly.

Lincoln, NE 4am
I had a dream where gold starts to fall and then very suddenly drops to $50.00 and ounce.

In this dream, I was standing on the balcony with my daughter in the morning. In real life, we can see for miles from this balcony in every direction except North because of the Grand Mesa. We were just chatting while looking south when all of a sudden (this is really hard to describe) HUGE squares started coming down from the sky in various/multiple places. Almost as if someone was playing with a shape sorter toy on the other side. Then the sky turned into a swirling mass and whirlpool as if it was going down a drain. My daughter was panicing and I told her not to worry...this is EXACTLY, what is supposed to happen and that we have been planning this for a very long time.

This was the first VIVID dream I had involving a recently deceased loved one (Richard). I want to say that we were outdoors, bright sunny day, at a big event. A fun event, like the Texas State Fair or something. Suddenly, I see Richard walking towards me, gives me a big hug and says, "Don't worry. It will all be over soon". The next thing I know is that all the people around us were absolutely panic stricken and all were looking to the sky. However, I never saw what was coming from the sky, but whatever "it" was was extremely frightening. People were running everywhere. My focus was then drawn to a man holding the hand of a little girl. This man just checked out mentally and left the little girl standing there alone so I grabbed her hand. I then woke up feeling/hearing this VERY strange vibration that I have never experienced before.

This dream is two parts. First part had me standing among other people in a very bright library. I got the feeling that these people were teachers or part of a council of sorts. At any rate, I was told to look at this beautiful globe. I would say this globe had a six foot diameter and shimmered as if it was made of mother of pearl and other semi-precious gems/stone. And it moved as if it were alive. Almost like I was watching Earth from above. My focus then centered to Oregon, near Portland, and I watched an enormous sink hole suddenly appear, swallowing the entire area. The area was hundreds of miles in diameter.
The second part had me back on Earth suddenly in Ecuador where I was witnessing another enormous sink hole in real time. This one was much larger than the one in Oregon. The funny thing is that the hole stopped right at the edge of my toes so I was saved from falling into it.

I'm standing at the edge of a field with an old man. Across from us are his son and granson. The old man and I turn to the west and walk a short way. The old man stops and hands me a hat, "For my grandson, when he is old enough to understand", he walks away. He's going to fight in a civil war, and not expected to return.
Now I'm on the land-side of a dock, with the old man's grandson, who is now around 18. I hand him the hat, which has a slit in the brim. He takes the hat, folds the edges of the slits back and pins them to the body of the hat, forming a narrow "V". All the boys were wearing their hats this way now; it was how the patriots had worn them. I walk alongside the warehouse to the part of the dock open to the sea thinking how can I go on, when I have lost so much ?

I dreamed this last night (1/12/11).
I dreamed that it was a warm spring day and it had just finished raining. I went outside to look for rainbows, as I normally do. But, as I was looking up at the sky, there was a iridescent halo around the sun. Not to terribly unusual, but it seemed as to be "projected" on to other objects and areas of the sky. There was more than just the halo, there were sundogs and other types of sun arcs all around the sky. Anything that had a reflection of sunlight had the rainbow-halo. Even the glint of sun off the car had a funny halo around it. I went back in the house to get my phone (to take a picture). When I came outside to take a picture, the sun was still shining brightly, but the sky was dark as night and the stars were out. The area around me looked to be like at dusk, even though the sun was fairly high in the sky. It just wasn't emitting enough light to illuminate everything. One star (about the current brightness of Jupiter) was the brightest thing in the sky, save the sun and moon, it also had a iridescent halo and it looked so odd an bright against the black sky. I tried to take a picture, but my phone wasn't working. It seemed to have crashed. I tried restarting it, but it wouldn't respond. Other people were out of their houses now looking up at the sky taking pictures with regular cameras. The only camera I could think of that I had was an old 110mm camera that I had as a little kid (that camera was long gone YEARS ago). I opened it and seeing it was out of film, wondered if they even make that type of film anymore.
At this point, there are other weird things happening with the sky (swirling clouds, shooting stars, and the appearance of an abnormally large moon with a bunch of jagged point (much like how a child draws the sun with "rays"). I came to the conclusion that it was all some kind of special effects hologram and that it was created by the nearby theme park (there is no theme park nearby where I live though) and they sent out a special signal to disable camera phones so that we couldn't take pictures and share them. They were just testing out some new technology for some kinda new ride experience.
That is just the conclusion I used to justify all of the weird things happening. Even in my dream I needed a "rational explanation" I wasn't totally convinced because the "feeling" from the first sun halo and the subsequent darkness felt like 2 different phenomena. There was something that just didn't make sense about it only being a "normal test".
I don't know, maybe my "inner dream eye" has cataracts or something.
