rhapsodic dreams

Dream Journal

dreamed on August 7, 2003

I was at the dentist for my annual checkup. B waited in the waiting room while I went to the bathroom to brush my teeth before seeing the dentist. The bathroom was in the unfinished, cement basement. I passed a teen boy standing in the middle of the open basement staring at the wall.

I reached the bathroom door when the ground shook. The earthquake was very powerful and lasted for a few minutes. I immediately knew that the rapture was happening.

When the ground was still, I ran back up the stairs still holding my toothbrush. I fell into B’s arms and cried on his shoulder while he cried on mine. Through my tears I asked him why we were still here, why hadn’t we been raptured. He didn’t know.

A boy ran into the dentist office from the sidewalk, frantically screaming about his mom’s teeth falling right out of her head. We tried to console him while we cried.

Then I doubted that the rapture had really taken place. We hadn’t seen anyone disappear or go up into the sky. They boy’s mom probably just lost her teeth instead of leaving them behind.
