I had a horrible dream...

that the Space Shuttle blew up.

My wife and a few others were down at Kennedy Space Center to watch a shuttle launch. At first we were allowed to be real close to the launch pad, but once it got time to fire it off, we had to move to a concrete building of some sort as an observation area.

The countdown started and the engines fired. Fire and smoke everywhere you know, but the shuttle wouldn't lift off.

We were listening to the radio transmissions between ground control and the shuttle and ground control told the shuttle to take the brakes off. All the while the shuttle is burning its fuel 100% but not going anywhere.

When they finally released the brakes the shuttle started to lift off but it ran out of fuel and everything fizzled out. It started to fall and tip sideways.

I grabbed my wife and we ran farther inside the building so we wouldn't get hit with debris. I remember sitting with my back against a concrete block wall as the shuttle exploded.

I smelled this odor of sulfur in the air, and remember screaming about how many astronauts is NASA going to kill before they retire this piece of shit.

A few minutes later we got up and went back outside to see what was left, but there was nothing there! Just the launch pad, blue skies, and calm water. No debris or anything.

Weird huh?

I was out riding around with some friends. On a RR crossing, the driver stalled out the car. He made at trying to start it up as a train headlamp came into view. A train horn, loud and almost continuis, was blaring. I was frantic. The other three guys were not only calm, but seemed to take it in stride. I opened my door and bolted, looking back in expective horror to see the train squash my three friends.

Outside the car, there was no train. The crossing bell and lights were on, but the only other sound was the cranking of the cars engine. Then the engine roared into life, just as the crossing alarms stopped. I stood there as my three friends drove off, glaring at me for my weakness.

To this day, I do not remember even their names, and how we had become aquanted, as if we never were, possibly at the failure of some test.

Did you, when you ran and hid, abandon someone?

I really can't remember.

But I can tell you I've been having vivid dreams like this for decades.

When I was high school once I dreamt that a plane ran out of fuel and crashed at an airport. We watched it circle and then go down behind a terminal. When I got up the next day, I jokingly asked the rest of my bus stop mates if a plane had crashed anywhere.

"Yeah, one crashed in NY" they told me. Most horrifying thing that ever happened to me...

I have very vivid dreams sometimes. The funniest one I had was when I dreamed the alarm clock was going off. I keep it across the room and have to get up to turn it off, so I got up, turned it off, showered and shaved, drank my coffee and ate and dressed and was going out the door when my wife stumbles sleepily into the room and wanted to know why I was going in to work at 2 am. I said she was wrong and the alarm went off, and she said look at your watch. We never changed the time on the alarm, and it was still set for the regular time.

Couldn't go back to sleep, either.
