So I had a really awesome and weird dream last night.
In the beginning I'm just walking around in a nondescript small city, it may have been based on Natchez, Mississippi, and I'm listening to the news or someone is telling me news or something. Anyway, it becomes apparent to me that the world is suffering some kind of major catastrophe. The person telling me about it is convinced that the end-times have come in the biblical sense.
The only thing that I can tell is wrong is that there appears to be a storm going on in space. When I look up, beyond the planet's atmosphere appears to be a brownish, opaque, whipping cyclone wind that is blocking all view of anything in space. This goes on for a while and it is made known to me that scientists have determined that earth has somehow broken orbit and is traveling at FTL speeds through the universe via some unknown mechanism. This goes on for a while longer and then it stops. The skies clear, and people are marveling at the completely unfamiliar stars that are now in the sky, which are conveniently connected into complex insectile-looking constellations already.
Reports are coming from the other side of the planet that there is something interesting to see on that side, so we wait anxiously as the earth's rotation brings it into view. What's there is a massive planet, apparently a rocky desert world hundreds of times the size of earth. It is impossibly close. In real life its gravity would have surely torn earth to shreds at at that distance. As we look at it a large, mechanical, two-tined fork appears from behind it so that one tine is on each side of the planet and neatly slices through the center of the planet with a laser beam projected between the tines. The fork then extracts the entire center disc of the planet from between the two halves and pulls it away.
It becomes apparent to me that the planet is being "harvested" for materials. As I realize that I see a long line of other planets stretching out behind it and become aware that the earth is slowly drifting to the back of that line. Then I woke up.
Sorry for the long post, but I don't think I've ever remembered a dream in this much detail before. It left me feeling very shaken up this morning it was so vivid.
