Earthquake

by S. Dunifer

A number of years ago I was sleeping in on a Saturday morning. After turning back over for a bit more sleep I experienced a rather vivid lucid dream of being in Seattle. I was standing underneath the over hang of a parking structure for protection from pumice rocks dropping from the sky, the result of a nearby volcanic eruption that had turned the sky into a rainbow collage. The whole city was shaking and rolling from seismic activity. Not only visually dramatic but auditory as well - could hear the pumice rocks whistling asthey fell and crashing to the ground. After waking up, my first reaction was to say to myself, holy crap - left with the premonition that Seattle was due for a major earthquake within a few days. I told some friends about this, they were a bit skeptical. Despite this, I was rather convinced of what was about to happen. Their opinion changed as of the following Monday, however. That was the day that Seattle was struck by a major quake. Afterwards, several of my friends said that if I ever had a similar dream about the Bay Area that was to call them immediately so they could make a quick exit.
