I was in the apartment in Irving, TX (The Villas at Beaver Creek), and I heard this big downpour of rain starting outside. Mom was here, and I think she lived here instead of Em (wife). I made mention of it to her, and she said she could hear it, too. I then went over to the windows and looked outside after it sounded like it had subsided for a bit.
When I looked out, I could see the clouds moving. At first I thought I was watching them move away from us, but then I realized that I was actually seeing them moving straight down towards the ground. They were all very dark, and seemed to be gathering into one big cloud that was about 50 feet in diameter, and only about 10 or 15 feet off of the ground. I could hear the rain starting up again, but I didn't see anything at first. I realized that I was hearing the rain that was still inside the cloud.
Then the middle of the cloud moved down closer to the ground, within about 5 feet or so, and the rain started to pour out of it. The funny thing was that it was a very localized event. The diameter of the rain downfall was about 10 or so feet. Outside of that, it wasn't raining anywhere else. I called mom over to take a look at it, and she thought that was pretty amazing, too. We watched it for a bit, and I remember looking around to see what else I could see outside. I saw that there were patches of blue sky showing up around the edge of the cloud, but this one cloud was just sitting there and dumping all this rain. We both watched amazed for a bit, and then that was it.

Playing With Electricty in Water
I was with this group of people, and we were together for some contest/class/workshop thing. I'm not sure what the original intent was for us to be there was, but it had a feel of being somewhat like a cross between a summer camp and vocational school and fear factor.
I remember being in this wooden room, somewhat like a cabin, but bigger and more industrial feeling. There was a walkway that went around the outside perimeter of the room, and it was suspended a bit above the actual floor. I'm not sure by how much, but it didn't seem like a whole lot.
I was coming around the left side of this room, with the outside wall to my left, and there was an open doorway up ahead. There was also a window to the outside on the wall, and perhaps even a door next to it. I was heading towards the doorway, and somehow I got a hold of this large cable that had a lot of electricity running through it. Some of the other people there with me got a bit worried about me playing with this cable because they thought I was either going to electrocute them or myself. I had basically gotten this idea that if I didn't touch the open end of the cable to them or myself directly, then nothing bad would happen. They weren't so sure about that, though.
I touched it to the wall on my left or the railing for the walkway on my right, and it did some neat looking stuff, but seemed pretty harmless. Small blue "lightning" came from the end of the cable. (somewhat like pulling a toboggan cap off your head really fast in the dark in the winter time and putting your finger into the space on the inside and watching the little lightning show go from your finger to the hat) The electricity formed various shapes, mostly in the shapes of blue electric leaves. I thought the effect was wonderful, and I kept pulling the cable along with me as I headed for the doorway.
As I got to the doorway, there were steps that went down just on the other side. The room that I was now entering was a large stone room like it was from a castle or a sewer. The walls and ceilings were all made out of hewn rocks and stacked together. There were some big windows in there, too. there was one across from me, one to my left, and one to my right. This room ran "crossways" to the room I had just been in. There were some other features of the room that I remember. There was a car (kind of like a VW Bug) to my right, and down to my left was another walkway, set of stairs, and doorway to go into another hallway similar to the one that we had just come out of. The main thing about the room, though, was that it was somewhere between knee deep and waist deep with water. I still had the electric cable with me, and I knew that if I let it touch the water, I would not only kill myself, but others who were in it.
I went over to the car, and I tried to act like I was going to work on it. Instead what I was actually going to do was mess with the cable on it and make more of the electricity patterns. There were still some people coming out of the first hallway and turning down to go to the other hallway on the left. (now to my right because I'm in the new room looking at it) They were all carrying "supplies" for this "trip". Some of them were couples, and others were singles. At the time of the dream, I knew each one of them, but I don't know them now.
One of the guys with a big camping/hiking backpack on splashed his way over to me to confront me about the cable. He was really worried that I was going to do something stupid. I knew that I wasn't, but I also knew that I couldn't convince him otherwise. I was back near the car, and I think a bit of time had passed, because I now knew that there was something wrong with the cable. I'm not sure what had happened, but I knew that it was now tougher to control because the end of it was broken. It was almost like it had frayed at the end, and about six inches or so back from the end it had kinked and looped and broken out of the protective insulation around it. I knew that bit sticking out was just as dangerous as the end, but it was also making the thing so hard to control and keep out of the water. I think I eventually wound up grabbing onto the exposed part at the broken area to control it better as I was swinging it around. I knew that it didn't hurt me, and I think it even tapped down on the surface of the water at one point, and it didn't hurt or kill anyone. I didn't even feel anything.
I went back over to the car and touched the frayed end down onto the body surface of the car. Again it made a nice pattern resembling a leaf. All the blue little veins expanded out from the end, and wound up going out and forming a point, and it was faintly blue in between each of the veins. It was just a nice perfect leaf. There also may have been a second leaf that was created either by the same touchdown, or by the other exposed part of the cable that had touched down accidentally.
