Hand Of Clouds
Friday, February 23, 2001

  This dream took place in a building that looked like it was made in the 50's, but if the 50's was a rock, this building's design would be its underside.

  The walls were covered with small, tacky yellow tiles, and the basic architecture of the room itself had the usual sharp edges of the period.

  Anyway, the building seemed to be a recreation room of a church, but that was only a very weak sense I got from it.

  In the middle of the room was a large arcade game.  The interesting this was, though, that the screen was on its counter-like surface, and that surface went all the way around, along the entire perimeter of the machine.  Rising up from the middle area was the main containment part of the machine, and it reached the ceiling.  Each side of the counter-like surface was about five feet long.

  At first I was in this room with some "friends" (don't exist in real life), but we all were of about high school age.  We were just sitting around, and I was playing the arcade game with someone.

  Soon, an adult female came in and decided to order us some pizza.  After the woman and I finally got all the orders arranged, the pizza just kind of appeared.  Thing is, though, that it was just one slice per person, except for the guy who ordered two.  Everyone thought she was ordering whole pizzas, but she was ordering only slices, which explained the confusion in getting the order right.

  Suddenly, there is a small family sitting at the game, using it as a table, which is allowed.  Only the father was of any consequence.  As a side order, he had one small, cardboard tray with a bread stick; the soft kind with garlic butter on top, and it was segmented into bite-size pieces, though cut only a quarter of the way down.

  We had been eating pieces from that bread stick, and it was upsetting him.  We all thought it was the one we ordered, because he was not eating any of it.  I spoke to him, then searched for, and found our order, which was a larger cardboard container of smaller, hard bread sticks that were oddly shaped.

  To make it up to the man, I let him have some of those.  He was happy, and they tasted quite good, despite themselves.

  The dream switched a little.  Instead of the family being there, suddenly actor James Woods and his wife (I do not know if he has a wife in real life) are sitting behind the surface of the game, which is now a small distance away from its main containment area.

  I talk to him briefly about something, asking him a question, then I get up and walk around the room.

  Some new people in the room are two males I actually did go to high school with, and country music singer Roy Clark and his wife.  (FYI, I'm not really a fan of country music, and I have no idea what Roy Clark's actual wife looks like).

  I walk to the room's front double doors.  They are solid doors with windows in the upper parts.  I notice that part of the sky is overcast and light gray, while there is also a large, dark gray cloud by itself.  This cloud is thick and has a textured appearance similar to cottage cheese.

  I look out one of the windows, and I see that the dark cloud is shaped very roughly like an extended arm and hand, and the whole cloud is turning clockwise in the sky.

  It stops turning when the hand part is pointed away from the building, and I can see the rough shape of the hand with all its fingers, except that instead of like a normal hand, this one is symmetrical, with the middle finger as the longest.

  Right after it stopped turning clockwise, it began to tilt downward, the hand part lowering toward the building.  I started to back away, then turned to go toward the back of the room to take cover somewhere.  I could not find anyplace, and Roy Clark suggested that I sit on the floor and wrap my arms and legs around the furthest back pillar that was in the room.  It sounded like a good idea, so I did it.

  Though I seemed to have a different perspective, suddenly, I watched as the hand of clouds, which my dream-self knew was god, pry up part of the roof.  It then reached in and grabbed the two classmates, who were standing right next to each other.  It carried them out through the space, and then it was gone.  That's all that I clearly remember.
