this morn- woke up a minute before my alarm clock, as usual. hit snooze and when it expired, shut off the alarm. went back to sleep; the sake last night really took us out even though we were stuffed...
in the hour that i napped, i witnessed two earthquakes, i'm assuming the third was just a huge aftershock:
there was 20 or so of us, havin a grand time, making music, dancing and acting for ourselves, for the air, for the trees and critters that surrounded us for acres. i sensed an abberation, and stopped in the middle of reverie, and instinctively grabbed a wall. i remember shouting...
incidents of high danger and suddeness can blur your memories and alter your immediate focus- 'cause now everythingeverything is rushing through all of your senses without pause or replay.
...i grabbed someone and the ground was moving, the house was sliding, i wanted to make sure no one went off the posrch or out a window, the house was now a raft.
the earth settled, and we recovered. the second, i can only remember now as a gut feeling, that i knew better how to react, and that it was of similar magnitude.
i and a few others were driving out of town, or twixt towns, when the third hit, it was very quick, just a second or two, but it was enough to send a ripple through the non-suspended bridge so large that it threw our car into oncoming traffic. and the traffic didnt stop for the shock.

could have been that i read a cataclysmic calvin and hobbes strip yesterday... or it could've been another one of those dreams that i've had-- i'll find out in the next few days.

second (maybe more...) night in a few that i had a vivid dream of piloting a quiet, unnoticed, insanely fast and agile aircraft. last night, this articular model had one controlstick, and it would start by angling back and going straight up. then i would pilot it around the city. this city had so many bridges... it was seattle.. cause i saw the i-90 lake washington bridge.
last night's craft was small and daaaaark purple, nearly black. i fit in it and there was room for nothing else- i cant conceive of where it might house a propulsion system, but it was very responsive, and had the capability of exiting the atmosphere and travelling in space, as i did once and breifly -i hadnt fully mastered the controls at this point.
but i zoomed around the city, wove through buildings, and cariied out a mission i can't remember.
