Dream Journals

This dream began with myself walking towards  a large victorian-style mansion.
Something I should mention about this dream is that the perspective was very odd.  Imagine walking through a world the size of a widescreen-version movie, except you're still full height.  I crouched and crawled the whole dream though I didn't really remember that until I woke up.

I'm walking towards this mansion with some unidentifiable person beside me acting as my guide.  We enter
the mansion and there inside is a huge spiral staircase that winds up through all the floors of the place,
leaving a long drop down the center of the staircase as it winds around and up.
I follow my strange guide up several floors and everything seems off-coloured.....too brown or grayish
to be real.  We finally reach the highest floor and as we turned the corner I immediately noticed three women
leaning up against the railing where the spiral staircase reached the floor we stood on.

The three women were very strange....they had extremely pale skin, almost like a vampire in a movie,
and were perfect of feature.  Not beautiful as in attractive.  Not in real standards....just intensely beautiful in the most unreal way possible.  Each were perfectly different as well.  One had jet black hair, the other dark red, and the last woman light blonde.  All three had bright blue eyes.

They all watched me as I came up to face them....their faces were so sad, and they were looking at me
as if whatever horrible wrong had been done was my doing, and I couldn't say anything....I was overwhelmed
by their sadness.  My own vision, in that moment that seemed to last forever, focused slowly on the blonde woman, who stood the furthest from me....leaning back slightly over the railing of the staircase.
Her face became everything I could see, bright blue eyes piercing me completely, and ever so slowly
I watched a single tear escape from the corner of her eye and roll down her cheek.  And fall from her.

Suddenly the world distorted, rippling and blurry.  And I was falling and falling, a wooden floor rushing up at me until......
I snapped awake.
And as I lay there in confusion in my bed trying to figure out what had happened, it suddenly occurred to me....
For several seconds before I awoke,
I had become the woman's teardrop.

The dream began with me speaking to someone I knew in a school parking lot,
Not necessarily an unusual thing.  But somewhere amidst the conversation I noticed
A mushroom cloud up on the horizon over the edge of the valley.  The world was ending.
The first thought that popped into my head was that I had to go up the hill.  I had to say good-bye
to my best friend who lived on the hill.  I headed off towards the hill with no further thought, and
of course there was a path that led directly from my location to my destination.

Somewhere along the path I completely forgot about the whole concept of having to go see someone.
All I knew is that I was headed to the end of this path and there was someone I couldn't identify walking
beside me.  At the end of the path was a small wooden shack with a single door and window, inside of which was nothing except a starry void.  The man next to me turned to me and said
"You're not seriously going in there are you?"
To which I didn't bother replying.  I wasn't afraid in the slightest.

I walked in through the door and fell for a few moments before landing on a solid platform just hovering
there in this void.  On the platform was a couch with a small table in front of it and a woman with pure blonde
hair and bright blue eyes....this was one of the earlier appearances of the recurring character I know as Safyre.  She was sitting cross-legged in the center of the couch with her eyes closed in heavy concentration.
After a few moments she seemed to notice my presence and opened her eyes, walked over to where I was
and embraced me.  Releasing me, she smiled and told me
"I'll be out in a minute, Love.  I'm trying to hold the world together."

Next thing I was aware of I was standing outside the small wooden shack again, but this time on the
opposite side from where I had entered.  There was a path leading down the hill again with a large metal gate
at the end of it.  The gate was wide open and for some reason the realization dawned on me that in the total annihilation of our world only this small area where I was had been spared, and only it's inhabitants had survived.
For some reason, this thought made me happy.

I felt unbelievably alive as I wandered down the path towards the open gate.  I walked through them and into a humongous wide-open space.  Only then did I notice that the massive field was a city.  An entire city complete with huge skyscrapers and lifted freeways....only it was abandoned and empty, and overgrown with ivy and vines and flowers and all sorts of plantlife.  The entire area looked as if it had been devoid of humanity for hundreds of years....
And it was by far the most beautiful thing I had ever seen.

Sometime amidst my staring all around me, trying to take it all in, I woke up.  And the realization hit me that everyone I knew and loved was dead.  And  I couldn't understand why I was so happy.
