I'm a musician. I had this dream last night,
I was playing a show, it seemed to be a reunion gig for a band I used to sing for. It was a band I had started and put together with myself as a bass player, but only became the lead singer for after trying someone else out for some time and later 'letting him go'. There was a full room and other bands on the bill scheduled to play that night. We started by playing our flagship song that I had written about picking yourself up and moving on after (enter the metaphor) a wave comes along and washes away the life you had known up until then.
I remember singing the entire epic song, verses, choruses, the bridge, every word, every note. The strange thing was that while performing, I turned around to see my band and I noticed extra guitar players, one relatively poor player, an old friend from my first band as a teenager, and another who played expertly but I didn't recognize him at all. As the song progressed, technical problems ensued, equipment started to fail, performances were getting sloppy. After the song was over I remember becoming very frustrated as my band tried to get their gear working again to no avail. When I turned around again I saw that the that the crowd had disappeared. I walked back towards the drum-kit where my drummer and close friend (who had played as brilliantly that night as he ever does) then informed me that we had gone way over the schedueled set time and everyone, including the other bands who were supposed to play, had left the venue. I then became infuriated and unplugged my microphone, threw the cable in the air and said to my drummer "let's get the **** out of here". I then went outside.
It was daylight, I don't remember much about where I was except it was a clearing of some sort and standing there next to me, was another friend and the ORIGINAL singer that I alluded to earlier, for the band that I just had an awful performance with, a man who many times sung the same song I had just sang. No conversation took place before the ground began to subtly vibrate in an eerily familiar way. I knew it was an earthquake. I said to my friend "can you feel that?". He looked back at me in silence but with an expression of great concern on his face as if trying to find a way to deny what he surely knew was happening. Then the ground suddenly began to shake violently and we both lost our footing and fell backwards as the earth cracked and split right between us.
That's all I remember. I posted this because I've never had an earthquake in any dream I've ever remembered. It was a vivid and unmistakable sensation.

Last night I had a combo Haunting and Escape dream. I was at the scene of previous dreams. A farm stylehousewith similar neighbors. All with 1 acre or so lots. The "back house", overgrown and decrepit,is where the spririts are, this time and previously.I was with a group of fellow travellers and we had stopped at the house. While the others were busy somewhere I decided to getmy gear, a flashlight and a gun, and go back to the spirit house to confrontwhat was there.
A member of my group, a male, joined me.For some reason the lights worked and the house appeared inside as it must have looked when it waslived in. A spirit appeared in the formof awoman in anight shirt, dark hair with no face. She appeared in the entrance to the living room off a main hallway. I went to follow, chills running through me, only to find nothing but an empty hallway with all the lights on. I went back, now alone, to the main house and saw all the neigbors loading uppickups and trailersto evacuate with some haste, but no fear.
I couldn't find therest of my party,only all the gear laid out on a table. I never needed, and at this point did not have, mygun or flashlight. I wanted to leave too, but my party never re-appeared.

Don't know if this pertains to my town but I was with someone and the ground started shaking and the buildings around me were swaying and crumbling and I said that it's a shame because so many of these buildings ae so old and it seemed that they were in my downtown and I noticed floors callapsing and I said to this person next to me that the elevators were falling and "he" said it's ok they are only falling 2 or 3 floors and they will survive, this went on for a short time and it stopped. I dreamt this July 29

There is no prior context and no post context for this dream. It appeared like a dangling snapshot. There was a document laying on a nondescript flat surface. The paper appeared to be made of some fibrous material, more coarse than regular paper but not papyrus or the like. I was reminded of special gift paper that has custom color and texture, with inlaid motifs of leaves or petals. This document, however, was plain and was slightly off-white.

There was no material "me" in the dream, but my perspective hung above the single paged document. I was struck with the intention to read the page. I noticed that the script, which I had originally assumed to be formed of the english alphabet, was written in a runic alphabet. I seemed to understand the writing, but cannot remember what was written.

After a moment, the letters began to float upwards off of the paper. There was a slight shimmer as this happened. The letters retained their linear relationships for another moment and then began to spiral counter clockwise. Rectangular formation was lost in favor of what initially looked like a series of nested concentric circles. Upon looking more closely, I could see that the shape was one of undulating spiral. There were no separations between rings. They all seemed to join in reaching toward a center horizonal point. It was in this position that they hung and continued to undulate.

In thinking about this after, it seems to me that there was some implication of seeking inclusive truth that may be approached but perhaps not completely found.

It started out that I was a fireman living in a fire house with a bunch of other guys near the beach.

Next thing I remember is that we where suddenly transformed from being firemen to being soldiers. We where about to go into a battle that was to happen on the beach that was right next to the old fire station.

I remember going into the battle and as we where running in guns blazing suddenly we where in an alternate dimension. This place was short lived and had not lucidity or definition.

We then arrived out of that dimension and where far enough into the future that we where watching people put up a memorial plaque at the anniversary of the battle.

It seemed as though this battle was on an American beach. The next thing I remember is that I was going to visit the guys that had gone through the time warp with me.

When I got there the two guys I was visiting had exact duplicates of themselves hanging out there with them.

I decided that the best was to resolve this problem was for some reason to take two identical door bell button fixtures and craft them together.

The last part of the dream that I remember is that I could not get the two doorbells to merge. Then I woke up.

Dream, 7/31/10, approx. 11:30AM PDT: A spacy, creative, monk-looking architect would magically rebuild over antiquated and even ancient ruins found within modern cities of Europe, almost with a waving of his walking stick, they would transform into beautiful, utilitarian, great structures of the future. There were 3 or 4 scenes like this. In the last, it was more like a picture that he drew,as ifarchitect's plans and not actual physical construction, but the plans were a painting, also magically appearing on the medium. Along came someone with some degree of municipal authority, but not much bearing, angry and off-balance. By this point it was clear that the main character was played by Jean Reno, and suggested France. He was pushed by the angry man into a dark, very deep chasm and died.

Note: It is pretty unusual for me to have a clearly identified face in a dream, people I know personally, sure, but a relatively random actor is pretty rare. Also, I had to do a web search for 'French actor' to get the name just now. Right after the dream, I was 100% sure of the identification by facial recognition, but not the name of the actor.

Eclipse
I was working outside in a field with someone else. It was late Summer, a hot, sunny day. Suddenly, the sky darkened. We thought it was an eclipse at first, but it came on faster than an eclipse. Also, the 'moon' that was blocking the sun started growing.
Asteroids
In fact, it was a very large asteroid, headed towards us in space. We began to see features on its surface; it was big enough to have meteor craters of its own. We saw other space objects that seemed to be banging into it, or flying off of it.
spacecraft
As the asteroid got closer, we could see large numbers of shining spacecraft, backlit by the sun behind the asteroid. They were breaking it up to prevent it from destroying the earth. Most went into space, but some chunks hit the earth as close as 30 miles to our field. A nearby city was on fire. Winds would howl for a while, and then calm again. Finally, the largest chunk of asteroid was split, and its pieces seemed to miss the earth. The sun returned.
landing
The fleet of ships began to land. Some were silver, but the one that landed nearest to us was spindly and brightly colored in red, blue, and orange. It had spherical 'knobs' in the front where the crew lived, and a bank of drives in the back connected by the spindles. This was an interstellar transport.
encounters refused
I was not afraid of the aliens. Immediately, I travelled to the city plaza where the craft had landed. I wanted to thank them for a job well done, and I had a message for them. When I got there, the place was packed already. A tent awning had been set up in front of the spacecraft door. People were swarming in and out of the awning.
When I approached, two very muscular security guards in dark glasses and t-shirts caught my arms, and pushed me away. I thought there was a mistake, but again they kept me from entering. One of them shook his head slightly. I was not to be allowed inside. I somehow knew that I was refused because I had an ability, a knowledge, and a message. The security guards were not from the space travelers, but from someone else who was trying to control their contacts.
"How did the guards recognize me?" I wondered. Then, an alien came out from the awning, saw me, smiled and waved, and came out to me. The guards were unable to stop him.
End of dream

Hello, this is the first dream I have posted. It is, orat least what Iremember about ithis dreamis very short.
I can remember walking around the ruins of a major city, possibly Los Angeles.The streets are covered with debries.The skyscrapershave all fallen. All Ican seeis the aftermath of some major calamity.It must have been a great earthquake, but there's no way to be sure.Nobodyother personis to be found. ThenI said,"I was right to fear this times",right before I woke up.

I had a dream in which thousands of people in South Africa were watching the crypto-apartheid movie/SCI FI District 9, about the the prawn-like aliens trapped in an a Joburg apartheid slum.

The odd thing was the movie was like a circle in the middle of a web page, and around it appeared faces of people watching the movie in little circles concentric to the movie in the center. More and more faces appeared on the web page watching the movie until it reached a crescendo - and then like a vuvuzela blast - the message came from these people "Now America Understands Apartheid". There seemed to be great joy among the people that this story was made in manner it was that anyone could plainly understand. What hit me most was just the collective human joy of people knowing that another group of people finally understood what had happened to them a half a world away. I don't think I have ever felt a blast of emotion like that before.

Fell asleep for a cat nap this afternoon and caught this. I must be thinking too much about the linguistics. In the dream there was an earthquake on "13". It was a road of some sort (hwy, Freeway, County Road). Also it was south of Colorado. Not directly but latitude wise. Also there was a reference to Route 66 (south of that as well I believe).
