So I dream I'm out hiking with a bunch of people on a very steep and heavily wooded hillside. The ground is very loose dirt with a lot of material thats decomposing. For some reason I'm wearing a VERY heavy backpack.
Well, like I said the ground is real steep and people are using small saplings to pull themselves up the hillside, but because of this HUGE and heavy backpack I'm wearing, every time I grab one of the saplings that the people before me used to pull themselves up, it comes out of the ground.
So I eventually find a dead fall with larger trees that have fallen together and I start using them to pull myself up. I get most of the way to the top of this dead fall and one of the larger trees (just a trunk really, no limbs on it at all) comes loose and starts rolling down the hill. On it's way down it clips this little kid about 7-8 years old and knocks him down. He gets back up and he's OK, but he goes crying to his mother. Mean while, this old log is rolling down the hillside and gaining speed. It eventually slams into another large tree and that tree stops it. However, because the log has rolled so far and created so much friction, it bursts into FLAME, setting the other tree on FIRE! This is all happening WAY down the hill and we have no way of putting out the fire so we continue to climb. There is a house we are heading for further up the hill, so we are going to call and report the fire when we get to it.
Well we eventually get to the house and call to report the fire but by this time the whole hillside is engulfed. At this point I'm worrying that I will be charged for all this timber going up in smoke and I'm thinking there is NO way I can EVER pay for all of THIS! After awhile we hear the fire department coming and some of us head down the hill to try and meet them and tell them that there are still other hikers further down the hill side. Pretty soon we see several of the fire fighters SKIING down the hillside. (remember, the soil is REAL loose) When they get to us we tell them about the other hikers and they tell us that it's OK, they have gotten out! While we are talking to them we hear this LOAD cracking noise from further up the hill and we see this HUGE tree start to slide down the hill. It slide down and down until it eventually slams into this garage next to a house. At first it looks as if it's going to be OK, then the house starts to slowly slide. It eventually starts gaining speed and then IT slams into ANOTHER house creating a domino effect. Now the whole hillside is a distasted area. Houses either burned or burning or caved in, people trapped or wandering around looking for an escape. So I start climbing up again looking for the road out of the hillside community leading back to the main road where I parked my Jeep Fleet Van (Yea, in the dream it's actually RUNNING!)
I eventually come across a guy that points the way to what's left of the road leading out, but by now, it's just a tunnel covered over by limbs from downed trees and the ground is a bed of glowing embers. Luckily, because of all the loose soil, I'm able to kick dirt down the tunnel and cool the embers enough that I can walk down the road.
Eventually I get to the main road where I parked and as I'm getting into the Jeep, I see this girl that had been in the hiking party heading my way, as well as a young kid (Maybe the one that the log clipped?) and they ask if they can ride out with me, I say SURE. Well they get in but because it's crowded in the front seat, the girl ends up with the shifter between her legs... At this point the dream becomes what for ME is a more NORMAL dream
and then I wake up!
What a STRANGE dream!
