Water anyone?

My two cousins, my dad, his brother, my mom, my little sister and I were walking around the city after eating dinner at a restaurant. It was dark out and everything was peaceful. As we rounded the corner of a giant skyscraper, I noticed the moon was rather large and low in the sky. It looked as if it were taking up most of the sky and was a blazing orange color. The color was becoming dull and then bright again in a sweeping motion from left to right and making a whooshing sound, as if the wind were blowing the color in quick, strong gusts. In an almost bored tone, I asked my father what was going on with the moon. He said something about the sun being in some sort of alignment with the earth and moon that was rare and creating this strange reaction. There was no need to worry unless strange things started happening.

He hadn't really even finished saying this when a crack formed in the water fountain that magically appeared (yet I feel like it had been there the whole time). The water began to boil in the fountain and my dad and his brother went into action. "Shit! Get inside...this is bad..." So we all ran into the nearest building, which just happened to be my cousins' school.

My dad's brother said that if there was going to be a safe place, this school was going to be it. I wanted to ask why, but I got distracted by how awesome this school was. Overall, it was in the shape of a circle. The main room (which we were in) was the center of the circle and each "classroom" was actually just little sections going around the circle. Each room was divided by a wall, but only a glass wall separated all the rooms from the central room. It was very cool to stand in the center and slowly rotate and see inside all the classrooms...which, my cousins informed me, were actually called glassrooms. The glass actually turned out to be a one way mirror, so no student could see the other glassrooms or the central room. Each glassroom had only 10 chairs in it and they were all those mesh wheely chairs that lean back slightly and are very comfortable.

My cousins began to pass the nervous time by telling me about how their school worked. It was very prestigious and you had to have certain qualities to be a student there, but it wasn't necessarily intelligence based because John T. wasn't very smart all the time, but he was good at math (it will be noted here that I have no idea who John T. is or was in this dream...I assume just some other student). I tried to direct my attention to our fathers who were busy scrambling around and muttering to either themselves or each other...it's not very clear which one it was.

Finally, they called us over to an empty glassroom and piled us all in. They had a small pile of snack machine snacks and a stack of bottled water. Then my dad said,

"The sun seems to have had a bad reaction on the moon after all. We were hoping this wouldn't happen...but all the water on the planet will soon begin boiling. It's already started in the shallow waters, but soon the oceans will too...we'll try to wait it out, but as this has never happened before, we're not sure how this will all end. Unfortunately, the rotation of the earth is also stuck right now, so it's gonna be dark for a loooong time. At least the water will be boiling to keep us warm..."

Another water dream...another end of the world dream.

This is slowly becoming unnerving now.

Martian Marine Base

(I dream in Sci-Fi)

I started out on the beach...don't know what beach, but it was clearly THE beach. A shudder was heard immediately followed by shouts and screams from the other beach goers. Everyone around me looked like frightened animals...unaware of what to do other than run around in a zig-zag pattern with eyes white with fear. I found them disgusting...then I realized that the water was rising. It was as if some one on the other side of the water had turned a faucet on and now our side of the water was rising. It was smooth, but rapid. I looked around for an escape and realized I was standing next to a very tall building. I ran to the building and started climbing. Once the other people saw me, some of the more advanced thinkers began to follow.

Once I was inside, I realized that this building had access to a transporter. I was so thrilled! The world was slowly being drowned and I found a transporter! I jumped into the transporter and typed in Mars Base and the next thing I knew, I was on one of the Martian Marine Corps Bases...TQ...

I found Bryan's room pretty quickly. He wasn't there, but his roommate was...he was still at work. I decided that I would hide under the covers of his bed, so I flattened myself out and got comfy. His roommate gave a pill that would make my breathing so shallow that Bryan wouldn't be able to see the covers moving up and down.

BIG MISTAKE! Bryan came back and was upset and yelling and pacing....he never even went to his bed! The only way the pill stopped working was if I was kissed...and if I stayed too long under the influence, I would eventually die. Time was running out, and Bryan had gone to the gym...

He eventually came back, took a shower, went to get food and then climbed into his bed. He was so upset when he realized I had died...

He then killed his roommate for giving me the pill...

Waking up times.
