End of the World (again)

I had another End of the World dream:

Out in space, there is a floating infinity loop object - spinning. It's white but also a little golden. A man (soldier?) reached out to touch the loop. I did not think this was a good idea, but I did not try to stop him. The loop changed shape, into a sort of D shape, and the star behind the shape started to grow big and glow.  I tried to warn the man not to mess with the object, but he touched it again. This time...I think it turned into a cube or a wooden block of some sort, but it changed again. This started the end of the universe.

The scene changed to a campus. A two or three story school with a science lab and chain link fence all around the outside. It was drizzling. There were soldiers - SWAT team style - in the science lab. Everyone was barking orders and hustling about, but there was an air of confusion. I knew I needed a Kevlar vest, and my kit. Outside, there were schoolkids, but there were zombies as well. Or something like zombies. I had to navigate the school, through hallways and around the fence. I did not want to be seen.

At one point, I distinctly remember getting exasperated by everyone else's fear. I found my cache of stakes - cherry wood. They were beautiful I thought - and I stabbed a bunch of zombies in the head. I was satisfied that I had thought to make the stakes ahead of time.

Then there was a horse and cart on a set of old-fashioned train tracks. The campus changed into a city, and the city was being evacuated because a cataclysm was about to happen. I ran and ran, and then I realized I had left my kit back in the science lab. I was frightened I'd get left behind. There was a lot of yelling, and I think my commander was making fun of me.  I hopped onto a cart and my team made it to the last spaceship. The men where yelling for everyone to hurry up. I begged for them to wait for me, and told them I had to go back. One of the men said ok, and I hugged him and thanked him and took off running. I rode another cart back, and took a car or a bus. I didn't have much time.

This time the end of the world was full of cliches. I've dreamt of the apocalypse as coming from Heaven, and of great sheets of fire or water, but this dream was full of military and zombie cliches. Except perhaps for that spinning white gold object from the beginning. That piece set everything in motion.

Also of note: Actor Merle Rooker and Actress Kara Thrace were characters in my dream - the former was at the end of the dream as one of the military leaders, the latter was in the science lab with the SWAT team.
