Strange Rain


I am at a block party with my daughter. There is food, music, and dancing and all of the neighborhood kids have come out and are playing in the street. All of the sudden, one of those turtle shaped sand boxes falls out of the sky. No one is hurt, but everything stops and people are just staring at this sand box and then at they sky wondering how it happened. Just then, a tricycle falls and hits one of the men in the head. At this point people are starting to panic. The sky becomes dark and it starts to rain. With the rain is falling swim rings and other water toys. The rain is torrential and soon it begins to flood. I find my daughter and grab as many of the swim rings I can carry and put them around us. We head for home, but are swept away by the tide. I cling to her and try to find a tree or balcony we can climb up on to get out of the water. As soon as I climb onto the roof of a small shed, I wake up.

Our waking anxieties become the monsters of our dreams.

Gosh it's been such a long time since I have been here, I just found this comment. I guess this dream means I fear being overrun with toys? lol!
