"Worm"
05/27/2006

(Really screwed up - very long - dream after finding out last night that I have a worm on my computer; that Microsoft "this product is not genuine" bullshit, because the last time I reformatted my comp, my techie friend gave me an extra copy of his windows after I'd lost my CD. So, I'm figuring that my drunken rage last night at this BS that had been causing my comp to act all weird sparked this dream. Anyway...)

The overview is that there was this enormous worm creature (like on the movie "Tremors"), that could go through earth and water. It was sound sensitive (like the ones in the movie), and every time we'd either be walking on land, or on a low dock over water, this thing would try to crash up through the ground and try to eat us. Many of my friends were in this dream, at some point, along with my mother and daughter. I really don't remember too many details, but a few different settings/locations within the same dream stood out:

First, we were in this dockside building - kind of like a boaters' restaurant/bar - and we were having a good time, if I remember correctly. Sooner or later, this massive worm crashes up through the floor, which was over water, grabs a victim and pulls him/her back into the water under the building. Of course, All Hell breaks loose within the building. We had to scramble up into the rafters to stay out of it's reach. We were all stuck up there for a while and employing different methods of trying to get back down without putting any real pressure on the wooden floorboards. Later, having made it out of the previous building somehow, we were outside on the water, and there was a grid of wooden planks that was the only way back to the shore. It was hell trying to get across them. The monster was just lurking around in the water beneath us - waiting. I think, at this point, I had some sort of weapon (some sort of explosives or something), but I'd dropped it when the worm "heard" me running across the planks, toward the land. It burst up through the planks under me and I fell into the water. Fortunately, I was able to get back out and climb onto the planks before getting eaten, but then my mom - in a fit of hysterical heroism - tried to run and jump over the fresh hole in the "boardwalk" in order to grab the explosives that I dropped on the plank on the other side of the hole. I reached out and grabbed her hand and pulled her back just as the giant killer worm crushed the planks under the weapon and dragged it under the water in its mouth.

Those of us that were still alive ran on the rest of the wooden planks back to the land, and didn't stop fleeing until we were all "somehow" back at home. I remember that even my yard wasn't safe, as this Worm could travel through earth just as well as water. The only place that was safe was inside the house, which was all fine and good until a UPS man came to deliver a package. Lol. I was all screaming at him through the window: "GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE MAN!! THERE'S A GIANT, PSYCHO FUCKIN' WORM THAT'S GOING TO KILL YOU!!" and he just kept on walking all nonchalantly up to the window like he couldn't hear me; slowly set the package down at the back door and then started casually sauntering back to his truck. Not seeing the worm anywhere, I start thinking to myself, "wow...maybe this guy's going to make it. Just keep walkin, man. Keep walkin." And then the bastard dropped his keys! Lol. I'm like "YOU IDIOT!!! HURRY UP!!" He reached down all slowly and picked up his keys and started taking his slow-ass time getting back to his truck. By this time, he was still on my concrete back porch and hadn't yet gotten to the grass.....buuuuuuuuut that obviously made no difference. The huge worm crashes straight up through the concrete, like a great white shark breaching the surface of the ocean, and latched onto the guy, pulling him back down into the earth and leaving a gaping hole in my porch. =/

Just plain weird shit.
