i've dreamt of water countless of times. tornado in the water, floating on water, tsunami, etc. lately, i've been dreaming about it more. last night i dreamt of a great flood. my dream last night had a movie like quality to it. heck, it had a storyline worthy of a sci fi flick. most of the time dreams are like collages of various short dreams. last night it wasn't like that. it was continuous. it began and it ended.
it started with me in a house i wasn't familiar with but it seemed like i lived there. i was with my sister and we were watching TV. the news was about a new disease, a virus that was affecting people and making them wild and cannibalistic. resident evil and i am legend comes to mind. the virus was spread by biting. doctors in a secret warehouse were scrambling for a cure they say. yet, people still went about their own way and didn't mind the news very much until there were so many people infected in the streets. i got bitten in the hand while walking in the street but, strangely i wasn't infected, instead the person who bit me had a sort of allergic reaction to my blood. doctors then got a sample of my blood to study its effect on the virus. weird, i know.
then there was darkness. there was no day anymore. it was just always night and demon-like creatures started roaming the earth. people hid in their houses or offices or whatever shelter they could find. there were lots of people hiding in the house where i lived. we locked all the windows and doors. we had one gun. food was scarce, people were scared, children were crying and some were getting sick. we were afraid to go out into the darkness but their were some who braved it to find help. the government said they could do nothing. they were also trying to save themselves.
i was trying to calm people down when my mom found a statue of Mama Mary. the statue was crying. my mother got a bowl to collect the "tears". when the Mama Mary stopped shedding tears, we had enough for a small bowl and mixed it with raw rice. i applied the white liquid on the arms and head of each person, hoping it would protect them from the evil trying to get inside the house and also heal their ailments.
i went to the room where the statue was to get more "tears" but when i touched Mama Mary's face, it was soft, not hard like a statue should. i touched Her face with both hands and couldn't believe what i was feeling with my hands. then, the face became a swirl of colors and i felt like i was being sucked by a vacuum backwards. then there was a blast of brightness and i felt like i was floating. the feeling was incredible, like you were in the presence of something so great. it was very bright but i could see a slide show of images and words written in a language that i don't know but in my dream i understood. i remember praying or talking to God but i didn't hear His voice. i just know i was telling Him things and He was showing me images of the world or what will happen to the world, i think. as sudden as the images begun, it stopped and i was lying on a sofa with my eyes open. i heard people rejoicing outside. i went out and saw that there was water everywhere. it was flooding waist deep. i knew then that the demon-like creatures and the virus stricken people were gone, and whatever bad was in the world was washed away. i could see people playing with orcas. orcas in waist deep water! weirdly impossible i know, but in my dream everyone and everything was happy.
i was there standing and thinking about the last image shown to me. i can't remember much of the other images and writings but i remember the last one. then i heard my daughter say, "good morning! open your eyes mommy", and i woke up with goosebumps on my arms, an urge to cry, and thinking that was one weird dream.
i think the end of the world as we know it is going to happen sooner than we think. that last image was ingrained in my head. that image was that of hope!
