The End: A Dream
April 6, 2008
Me: I'm just so sad because all of this is happening and I've always had a set of beliefs about how the universe works and how it will evolve... things are so confusing now, I don't understand what's happening. I know that what I thought is still true though-
Mum: Yes. It's not the way people think it is, "God" and the "devil". God is an independent energy, not needing to rely or be relied upon to exist; the devil is the opposite.
I was in a car with dad, I don't know where we were going but all that stuck out to me was the sky, the atmosphere. Very gray, still, sort of like the calm before the storm but without the beauty and with a definite feeling of pending doom. There was no clear indication of sun or moon as far as I could tell... the sky was just too hazy for that. It looked perfectly natural but too surreal.
He told me I'd better shower. Why? I asked. There won't be any hot water left, he answered. I quickly realized he meant ever. As if having a shower would be my biggest worry.
Mum said she'd feel much safer in the woods, even though it was dangerous everywhere.
I felt like it was just waiting. I looked up at the sky and was so confused and for some reason felt betrayed by the very fabric that makes the universe spin. And sadness.
We had just entered a new age... Ice age? Stone age? Wasn't anyone panicked?
The grayness was everywhere and it wasn't just smog. No, this was a deep grey, and thick, like if you waved your hand in it, you could tangibly feel it.
People were going about their business for the most part, just like always. The people I encountered were interested in getting drunk and partying.
Big business kept on going, nothing seemed to be stopping; nothing was shut down, and the ongoing pollution, once seemingly of far off consequence, was just pushing and pushing the end nearer and nearer.
They could have delayed or even ended it. Nothing is beyond repair, and they knew that. But still the steel factories pushed on as if MONEY would be of ANY importance!
And I realized then, that most of these beings called humans are stupid. That our own selfishness is what will drive us to the end and even at the end we will only care about our own comforts and pleasures.
I came to a residential area where 'they' were dumping huge loads of some grey sludge. I got stuck in it and they barely noticed, didn't much care.
When I finally got out of there I was walking down a path lined by trees. I felt total despair/defeat when one of the trees turned into an owl and reached out to me, which brought me great comfort. He represented wisdom. He was important and he wanted me to know that.
By the end of the dream, I came to the realization that evolution would be alot uglier than I imagined, that I do indeed wear rose coloured glasses, but that I got the end (good) result of it right. So many more people would die than I thought. When I say there will be few of us left, I mean thousands, maybe more, but not NEARLY as many as are alive today... but enough to start something new.
