Oh, yeah. Almost forgot to share this. WEIRD dream. Earthquake dream. I know it started in the dream, but I don't remember what was happening before the earthquake. There were a bunch of us in a room, just standing there and bracing, and the earthquake went on and on. A real strong one; the room was rocking and rippling hard, and you really did need to hang on to stay up. (I live in Oregon; I've been through two earthquakes in my life; I haven't any clue how much resemblance this one bears to a strong one, having never been in one of those, and I hope I never know.)
The building kept tipping, so you'd be staring down-at-an-angle when you looked out the window, but it never fell over; it would rock back to vertical. And THAT is when I realized I was standing right in front of these big windows, and it suddenly occurred to me that they could shatter.
I didn't like that, so the woman nearest me and I went out into the hallway. I knew her, but I no longer recall how. It wasn't negative, but I don't know if we were friends, or what. Not anyone I know when I'm waking. The door was right near a perfect right-turn in the hallway.
We braced in little nooks - facing down the same hallway, I think - there was a table in front of us, the sort of a quick-setup sort with dark "wood" top and fold-down (sturdy) metal legs. And we stood there through a few more rolls of the earthquake (which was still being the Energizer Earthquake - it kept going, and ....).
And then I saw it. Something coming toward us. Toward her - it was going to miss me. Rolling. A book cart! I shouted "Look Out", turned, looked, and saw that she wasn't going to move in time.
Scene-skip. I don't think I closed my eyes, but maybe I did. No sound, feeling, sight of the actual impact. Look down. Book cart sitting there, body in two pieces, no blood, just the outline of two halves, as if cut perfectly down the middle. Look away, go back into previous room.
Dream ends. I -think- the earthquake may have been over at the very end there. Not sure. Very disturbing, odd little dream. My mind is strange.
