June 1998

Age 17

This was a very surreal dream. I can never remember dreaming in color, but I remember vivid, swirling colors throughout this dream. I wish that I had written this immediately after this dream since I know I am inadvertently leaving parts out.

Everyone on earth was leaving. It was not because of any threat or impending doom, but they were leaving to go to a higher plane. This sounds extremely dumb, but there was a giant space ship in the sky which everyone wanted to board because they knew it was a better place. This is very hard to describe in words, because the people were not leaving to be with aliens or anything, but were leaving to transcend to a higher plane.

The people were doing this by entering a complex that I was working at. They would step into a small device which would catapult them into the ship high above the earth. I remember that I was responsible for operating these devices. Eventually everyone had been cast into the ship, and only I was left. I set the machine to delay, I stepped into the capsule and felt myself through off the earth. I saw the whole landscape shrink quickly as I soared into the air. I don't remember actually entering the ship, but my last image was seeing all the clouds fall below me and the whole continent grow very tiny. I liked this dream.
