I was at grandmamma's house during the time that I was living there with Mom, Eric, Matthew (brothers) and Aunt Irene. I started out in my old room downstairs. I don't really remember much about what was going on or what I was doing, but I just remember being there. I think I felt nervous about something, but I didn't even know what it was that I was nervous about. I spoke briefly at one point with Aunt Irene and Mom, and I made my way out into the dining room and I eventually wound up outside.
When I got outside, it was just soon after dark. I walked around to the front of the house and went around to the corner where the driveway was. I looked up into the night sky and looked at all the stars. There were so many stars out that it was difficult to make out any of the constellations, and if I did manage to make one out, it seemed to fade in and out pretty rapidly.
I suddenly got this feeling that something was going to happen. There was also something in the feeling that whatever this thing was, I had to option to allow it or disallow it. I didn't know what it was that was going to happen, but I knew it was going to be a world changing event of some sort. I think my decision also had to do with perspective in that I could allow this thing to happen, but if I wanted it to, it would only happen to me. I was nervous because I didn't know what this thing was or what it was going to do, but I just knew I had to decide. Somehow I felt something almost like a clock ticking down. My decision had to be made because if I didn't make it, it was going to be made for me. I could feel that whatever this thing was, it was going to happen very soon.
Suddenly it was upon me, and with only a second to spare before it happened, I decided to allow it to happen to everyone. A moment later, there was a feeling of some sort of internal rush, and things seemed to vibrate a little bit. There may have even been some sort of quiet but low and quick sound that accompanied this thing, and then everything was back to normal. I looked around, and everything looked just like it did before, but something felt different, and I couldn't put my finger on it.
Then people started showing up. I think Nick (former step-brother) showed up first. He asked me if I had "felt that", and I confirmed that I had. He was smiling and looking around. We wound up looking into the sky, and everything, I suddenly realized, looked different. There were still stars, but they had all moved and reconfigured themselves. Instead of the vagueness of the old constellations, there were new constellations that were clear as to what they were. There were actual outlines of objects and creatures, and the constellations seemed to be laid out on a grid that covered the sky. Nick and I pointed this out to each other, in absolute wonder of how the sky looked now. Then we started spotting the planets. We could see Jupiter and Saturn and Mars and Neptune, all looking a little bigger than the full moon, which was also out.
After this, Aunt Irene, Mom, Eric and Matthew all came outside. I looked at the sky with them and we were all in wonder. Aunt Irene and I wound up walking across the street to the parking area in front of the barn. There was a vehicle parked there, and while I think I knew who's it was in the dream, I forget now. We were talking about what had just happened, and though it didn't seem to be specified in our talking, there seemed to be a consensus that whatever action had taken place caused "evil to be eradicated from the world". There was a huge sense of relief from everyone.
I went back across the road and walked around the side of the house that had the screened porch and went into the yard behind the kitchen. There was a group of people there, and I recognized some of them as friends from school. Andy was there, and possibly Stephen were there. They each had some of their own friends there that I didn't know. Though Nick wasn't in the group, most of the people seemed to be his friends. There were about eight to ten people in all. They were all huddled together and acting scared because they didn't understand what had just happened. I talked to a few of them briefly, and though I'm not sure I actually told them exactly what happened, just the act of my speaking with them seemed to be enough to make them understand that they were now safe.
I continued in the same direction I had been going around the house, going in between the house and the storage building and then coming to the back porch that led into the kitchen. I went inside and noticed that the kitchen light was off, but the dining room light was on to my right. I went into the dining room, and some people were in there. I think mom had come inside, along with Nick, and one or two of his friends. Things were relatively quiet and no one was saying much, but it seemed like everyone was just wanting to take in the feeling of the new sense of freedom and ease we were experiencing.
Then it was some time later, and I was walking along one of these stone-paved roads that were an offshoot of 256 running between Weyers Cave and Grottoes, VA in the area of Mountain River Gardens. It was starting to get light out and it was a bit foggy. Even thought the land was fairly flat, it felt like I could look at 256 from way up almost as if I was looking from a cliff. I think I realized I was walking by myself and needed a way to get home, and I considered calling someone in my family to come pick me up, but I don't think I had my cell phone with me. I think someone showed up anyway. The dream ended there.
Then there was another dream that I had, but it was short enough that it doesn't warrant it's own entry. It's also interesting because there is a tie in with this dream.
I was in this downtown area of a place that reminded me of Morgantown, WV. I was there with a group of friends and family, and we had driven in and found a place to park. I went into a store that reminded me of Pinnochio's and started looking around. There were lots of nik-nak items and stationary items there, and I thought it looked very interesting.
I wound up leaving the store and going somewhere else, but I'm not sure where. While I was at this other place, I ran into Scott (childhood friend) and we started talking. We left that place and walked back in the direction of the other store. While we were walking there, we were talking about times that we had hung out as kids. I brought up a time that he had showed me his bow and arrows from an archery class he had been taking. I think he was having trouble remembering it, but at that point we got back to the first store I had been in.
The entry was on the corner of the building, set diagonally and facing the corner of the street. We went in, and I was disappointed to see that the store had changed it's contents. Instead of nik-naks and stationary, it was now just an overpriced clothing store like you see in the mall. I looked around briefly and made comment of this to Scott, and then we turned to leave. In front of the window (to the left of the door) there was a table that had quills on it. They were actually more like fountain pens that had feathers coming out the back. I picked one up and tried writing with it, and I was surprised by it's smoothness. I didn't like it, thought, because it was a broad oblique nib.
After we left, I wound up at work. While I was sitting at the computer in my office, Kim (from the same elementary school class as Scott and I) came in and greeted me. After a moment, one of us brightened up and said, "Hey, did you feel that thing happen last night?" (referring to the event of the previous dream.) We both had and were happy with that. The dream ended there.
