Apocalypse H20



I dreamed I was high above the world in a sort of building or ship. There were massive storms all across the globe. This man (or woman?) kept yelling at me, telling me it was all my fault that things were as bad as they are. I think in the dream I assumed this person meant all of humanity, but I was being singled out for some reason. They railed about global warming and the destruction of everything.

I was put 5000 feet below the ocean, where there were mountains and for some reason the light still penetrated at that depth. Before me was a graph, illustrating how high water levels had risen. This information was expressed with bullet points that were in fact clip art shark pictures. The voice was still angry, but I was more worried because I didn't like being so deep in the water with all the sharks swimming about. At this point, the clip art sharks had turned real and were swimming around me.

"And look at what happened here! Those underwater peaks used to be the tallest mountains in the world!" I felt compelled to look at the mountains more closely. Above the water, they had snow on them.
"Oh yeah," I said thoughtfully - it made me think of the movie 2012.

Then I was back up in the sky. The lecture continued.
Then, I was in a small airplane, under one of the storms. The pilot and co-pilot to take off even though there was bad weather. I was scared as we flew through the lightning and the torrential rain, and then we were falling out of the sky. Part of me was not surprised, since it was only a little two engine civilian plane. But the pilots looked for somewhere to land, and we sort of drifted into what I think was an aqueduct, swollen with water. A giant wave pushed us forward as we landed, and the plane started to break apart. We all scrambled to get out...

******

This dream woke me up at 4:30am. I'm not sure what to take from it, other than global warming is bad, and planes shouldn't take off during apocalyptic thunderstorms. I have dreamed of the end of the world before, maybe three times.

I wonder if the swirling fun debate over the end of the world this year (2012 -like the movie my subconscious referenced) had any influence over this one?
