Explosive Dream
I had a dream last night
About a fire in a library.
I couldnt remember much of the details
when i woke up,
but it goes something like this.
Kerosene was flooding the floor
but only to a minimum level.
I was frantically grabbing
a whole row of Readers' Digest
and stacking them in my arms.
Miraculously, the stack held.
Then I turned and saw my younger brother,
and pushed a pile of Digest into his arms.
With damn alot of relief.
But for some reason,
the stack fell onto the ground,
and i was left with only a small pile in my arms.
Quickly, I bent to pick up the fallen books,
and succeeded in gathering them.
I turned towards the exit,
and saw a crowd waiting in an orderly manner for me
Facing me.
I ran
and someone was behind me.
I don't know who it was,
but we made it out in time.
Turning, I saw the wooden curtains
(like those you see in Japanese movies)
caught fire and burned like paper.
The fire spread to the ground,
and ran along in a straight line across to us.
Behind us appeared a wide ground for us to escape,
So funny. It didn't seemed there just now.
Then the library had a mini-explosion.
Not everything was gone.
It was just reduced to a pile of charred mess.
You know what didn't make sense?
I had this dream before
Of that I am sure.
What does it signify?
I don't know.
Just a mini explosion
Or something else bigger?
