We were coming back from a Phoenix Swords job in CT and stopped at some fast food place to eat.
My wife and I were going to go look at the new practice space on the way back home.
We were looking at a map of CT and showing the folks where we were going to be practicing.
“Isn’t that where they had that earthquake?” someone asked me.
“Not that I know of,” I said. “I don’t know of any in CT.”
“There was one near the show we just did too,” they said.
“We’ve been accused of having rain clouds follow us, not earthquakes,” I said. “I don’t think it is us causing it.”
As we sat there other people in the place started shouting and pointing up at the sky. I wanted to see what was going on, but didn’t want to push through the folks at the front window, so I went to the back exit door.
The back of the restaurant was up against some empty farm land. There were a few trees, but it was mostly clear.
I could see something very strange flying around in the sky.
It was obviously a living creature that was very large. Bigger then most planes of helicopters. It was round, but flew vertical to the ground, not horizontal. It had one large eye in the middle with a ring of eyes around the edge. It’s skin was a dark grey or brown so it showed up fairly well against the late afternoon sky.
I stayed in the glass doorway and took out my camera. As I pushed the button to take the photo [livejournal.com profile] silverdragonma came by me and I missed the shot.
“You made me miss my shot!” I yelled at him.
“I thought we were leaving and that’s why you were at the door!” he yelled back.
I agreed standing in the door was a bad place, so I left and went back into the fields behind the restaurant.
There was a dirt road with rock walls to either side running through it, so I followed that.
It met with another road and there was a sudden fog around me. Down the right branch of the road the fog was glowing with a bright yellow light.
“That looks interesting,” I said and headed that way.
The light disappeared and it started to get really dark. I kept looking up at the sky and I could see the big disk creature, but it always seemed to be behind a tree.
Finally, I got to a point where I was right under it. I raised my camera and pushed the button.
“Memory card full,” lit up in red on my camera screen.
“Damn!” I shouted and looked at the bottom of my camera in the dark. I thought there was an extra card in a storage compartment. I found a little hatch on the bottom that I didn’t remember opening before, so I pulled it open.
Piles of stuff began falling out. Even though it was from a small hatch in the camera that fit in my hand, the stuff that fell out of it covered the field next to where I was standing.
“There’s got to be a memory card here somewhere,” I said and started going through the piles of things.
I found video cameras, batteries, tripods, camera bags, a wide variety of mounting brackets and some external flashes for the camera, but no memory card.
“What are you doing out here?” my wife called from the road. “Everyone was worried because you didn’t come back!”
“I spilled the camera storage compartment,” I said. “I’m trying to collect the stuff and find another memory card.”
My wife jumped the wall into the field and began to help me collect stuff.
Dream Ends

Some of this I can figure out.
Yesterday we cleaned out the practice area for the last time. Today we were going to go look at a new one. (Probably won’t due to the snow, but that’s another story.) The new one is in CT.
Last night we went to Tom and Brett’s party. When we got there [livejournal.com profile] silverdragonma was waiting in their entrance way, so that’s probably why I had him near doors.
Last night I had trouble finding my camera battery charger and took some time finding it. That’s probably the camera parts thing.
I don’t know about the big floating creature. It was like a combo of the flying star out of the Doctor Who Christmas special a few years ago and the creature at the end of the Astro Boy movie.
Last night at the party I was talking about Doctor Who Christmas specials. And, when the kids were up last night they slept on my Astro Boy DVD. (Shouldn’t that give them the dreams, not me?)
That’s the best I’ve got...
