I was on a bus out on a country road with Em. It was almost like there was no top on the bus, but no wind, too. We were looking at the moon because it was "almost full". It looked full, and even a little squished, but it wasn't actually full yet. As we traveled along and time passed, the way the sunlight hit the moon changed. It started getting redder, and the face of the Man in the Moon starting getting stranger. Eventually most of the moon had faded out except parts of the face which wound up looking like a skull.
After a bit I was in front of this wall with a big wooden door in it that seemed to be out in the middle of a field. Robin Williams was dressed up like a priest and talking to his son about monitoring the moon as their family/tribe has done for hundreds of years. On the wall there were paintings of reeds and marshes and cat tails. Some had a red glow, and others had a white glow, but all were painted against a dark blue sky with stars in it. Some of those glows reached up to the top of the wall.
Robin pointed to a chair that was about 50 feet away in front of the door. There was mannequin/dummy in it that was all leaned back and had a cello resting against it and dressed kind of like a peasant or something out of the middle ages. That was the watch station for the moon.
Some time passed very quickly, and Robin was no longer anywhere to be found. The boy went over to the chair and the dummy had been removed. He sat down in it and started situating himself properly and getting the cello leaned up against him. He was going to watch for the red skull moon to rise exactly over one of the red glows on the wall painting. Just as I was turning to look for myself, my alarm went off and woke me up.
