I started out in a school (much like the gymnasium entrance at Weyers Cave Elementary) or something, but I was leaving with everyone else. There was a huge crowd, and we were all going to go watch the "red eclipse", which was a time that happened very rarely (I think) but was very spectacular to see. It was when the eleven (???) planets and some of their moons would pass between the earth and the sun and cause an eclipse at night. (huh?)
So I was going with the crowd to this spot within the city to watch it. There were some things that happened along the way that slowed me down, but it wasn't anything major. It almost seems as if it was something about making sure that certain friends were coming along to see it.
I think that at one point I was passing a church (which looked much like First Presbyterian in Staunton) and I helped someone along there to be sure to come and see it. I remember looking back at it, like I was looking for someone, and everyone was passing me to go to this spot to see the eclipse. I was walking along with hundreds of people. I don't know what happened with my finding whoever or whatever I was looking for, but I eventually made it to the spot to see the eclipse.
The sky was very dark, but had a deep shade of red blended in with it, and the eleven planets were between us and the sun, and the sun had grown very dim because of the planets blocking the light. The planets looked much like several of earths moons lined up, all of different sizes, and a few of them even having their own moons, which were much smaller than they. With the way that the sun was positioned in relation to the planets, they appeared to be slim white (although somewhat faded) crescents, like the moon is when it is close to the "new moon" phase. The red of the sky enveloped the dark side of the planets, and so they almost looked transparent, just like the dark part of the moon does when it is facing towards us.
After watching this for a moment, even though I didn't see it dissipate, I knew that it was over. I was kind of disappointed that I didn't get to watch it longer, or that it didn't just last longer, but I still thought that it was great that I got to see it. I remember talking with some people about it when it was over.
I was sort of in a field of some type (sort of like a little league baseball field) with a chain link fence bordering it. I was close to the entrance way in the fence, which was a wooden thing that looked somewhat like a concession stand. After being their for a little bit and then heading away, the dream ended.

Jet Skis With Mike
There was something about being with my family, only Mike (former step-father) was part of our family again, and we were all out at some dock with 2 jet skis. We were all planning on going somewhere, but I can't remember where (the 5 or 6 of us were going to cram onto the 2 jet skis).
The thing was that Matthew (brother) was going to drive one of the jet skis, and someone else was going to drive the other. I wasn't really wanting to go because if I did, I was going to have to ride on the same one as Mike, and I was going to be on the back, meaning that I was going to have to hold on to him. I didn't even want to touch him.

Destroying the World and Merging With Another
I was in a garage during the night/early morning, and it was a garage to my own house. The window I was looking out of was above my eye level, and so the only thing I could see out there was the night time sky. I looked down and noticed a small metallic indention in the floor. The floor was of cement, but the bottom of this quarter sized indentation was of a smooth metal. I put my foot over it and looked out the window again. I saw these huge missile racks raising up towards the sky, and I realised that this thing in the floor was a sensor, and that my covering was making these racks raise up. I knew that if I continued that the missiles would eventually reach their height and fire up into the sky, only to come down and destroy the city.
I took my foot off for a moment, and watched as the racks stopped and then started to retract, but without emotion about it, I once again placed my foot over the sensor and watched as the racks extended to their final firing height and the missiles fired off towards the sky. I then went outside and witnessed people running about trying to find cover from these missiles. Even though I knew that they were going to come down and probably destroy me, I wasn't frightened of them. I realized that none of these people knew that I was the one that had done this to them. They all thought it was some huge military power or something, not even stopping to consider the sensor in my garage. I then went back inside. During the rest of the time of the missiles actually coming down, I don't have conscious memory of.
The next thing I remember is that I'm in my basement with one of my friends, and we're thinking and talking of all the destruction that has taken place and how things have changed. We realized that not only did things change as far as just getting blown up, but something else changed, too. Something more subtle in a way, but also more severe than the actual "blowing up" of stuff. It was almost like our world had merged with another during this destruction process, and it wasn't with our consent.
After a moment of walking through the basement, either my friend or I (or both) realized that we had to go to the bathroom. We walked to the door where the bathroom should be, but something told me that it was no longer the bathroom, and that whatever was behind the door was to be feared. I knew it was one of the things that had merged with our world during the rain of missiles. My friend opened the door, and I saw his eyes get huge and his jaw drop as he started screaming and staring into where the bathroom had been. I was on the back side of the door, and so I couldn't see in at first, but I could hear loud mechanical sounds coming out of the bathroom. It was like a factory was in there. I came around the side of the door and looked in (while my friend was still screaming) and I saw these cavern like walls. The bathroom was now a stair well with the stairs cut out of stone and curving down and to the left.
I couldn't see around the corner of the wall to where the stairs went, but then again, I didn't want to see what was making that terrible noise. I noticed that the walls were black and blue, but they were stone. The blue of the walls almost glowed as if it was self-illuminating. I realised that to "defeat" this fear, all I had to do was shut the door, and so I did. As soon as I did, my friend stopped screaming and we left. We went outside, and it was daylight out. It seems to me that there was something about going west of my house to some snowy place and there was something about fishing there... and a sheriff. (???) But I'm not sure about those details.
I then started back towards my house and I noticed that the row of houses (running east to west) that mine was in hadn't been touched by the blast, and neither had anything else behind them. It was almost as if they had been the barrier. But everything out front of them was completely demolished. I could see the 2x4's sticking up from the ground, all broken and mangled and such, but yet there really wasn't any debris. It was almost like the houses had been plucked up by their roots and carried off.
So I started walking through the streets of the destroyed houses, and I was walking around people who were in stretchers and such trying to get to the hospital. I think there was also something about a water shortage because of the blast. I kept walking around, mainly trying to avoid everyone else, and I remember seeing myself from above, like I was controlling my character in the Nexus online game.
