i had a dream

driving through a town in my little nissan pickup, i came upon two sets of railroad tracks. buildings on the left came up the side of the tracks i was on. across the tracks the buildings continued. on the right and across the tracks buildings continued around a bend. another set of tracks ran perpendicular behind the right-hand-side buildings. a train was coming toward my direction on the perpendicular tracks. a train was coming along the tracks of which i was stopped in front. seeing as how the two tracks crossed, i foresaw disaster and no way out of it.

sure enough, the two trains collided. i could see the boxcars and tankers leaving the tracks and tumbling towards me. the noise was deafening and all i could do was to lay down on the seat of the truck and hope for the best. when the dust cleared, i was alive.

now i was walking toward a house. i could tell it was a clinic of some sort. i opened the front door and stepped in. noone was around. i walked farther into the house/clinic where i heard a scratching. the noise was coming from behind a closed door. i looked through a slot in the door that was at eye level. the room i was looking in had its floor level with the slot so that i was looking across floor. the noise i had heard was not scratching, it was the clinking of ice as it fell on the floor. i looked up and saw my dog harley in the freezer section of a refrigerator. he was alive but apparently very cold as he was shivering. the ice was falling from harley's fur. i stepped back from the slot and put my hand on the door knob.

when i opened the door everything in the room was normal. no elevator-between-floors scene as i had expected. i felt as though someone was behind me even though i had heard nothing. i turned around. noone was there but as i looked into the room behind me through an open doorway, out steps yoda!

"holy fuck!", i stated aloud. then i woke up.
