To sleep, perchance to dream

[vanillafluffy]

Last night, I was in bed before midnight. My sleep schedule has been really messed up of late, so maybe now it'll settle back to something like normal.

Dreams...there was something about being at an airport, laden down with suitcases and bags and things, and having to go over and set it all down on a table and sort through it. There were things like, half a big bottle of shampoo, clothes that didn't fit, things I didn't need---in other words, a metaphor for decluttering and the journey of my life.

Shortly after that, I was driving on a dark road with only a red light in the distance. I got to my distination, which was some kind of community center. Everyone was very grim; there had been some kind of radiation exposure, which I hadn't known about. Some people looked at me like I was crazy for coming back.

There was only enough medicine for about half the people. When the leader (a Jason Robards-type---apparently my subconscious was recalling "The Day After") offered me a piece of paper, I declined. I wasn't going to apply for a chance at the meds, I was going to take my chances since I hadn't been there when it happened.

Clearly, the news from Japan is freaking me out, but wtf?!

WTF, indeed

Your dreams seem to be as merry as mine. Brrr. *shudders*
As for Japan... I am feeling like a heartless bastard but each time I see a photo of their devastation, I have anime flashbacks. It is like I have seen most of this before, in Japanese and MADE by the Japanese, as well. Talk about self-fulfilling things...

...but without the killer robots or gigantic mutant lizards.

...unless the whole Godzilla thing was inspired by a prophetic dream. *is going to hell*

I think it was a metaphor, but frankly, Godzilla is SO 20th century. I want to see an "atomic monster" film with a giant mutant Akita. His mighty bark shatters windows, his wagging tail takes out buildings, and if he chases your car, you'd better hope he doesn't catch it!

Just wait, I'd say. Especially the mutated lizards.
