Long and Linear Dream

I just woke up. Yeah, its 6:30 PM, but I just woke up. I take long Sunday naps.

Anyways, here was a brief outline of my dream. It was really quite scary. It started out that I was driving home with some people from somewhere. I know, great details. So we were driving and we got to a point where we were driving up a hill, almost to Provo, and there was a ton of super thick fog. I was literally unable to see anything so I turned a quick u-turn. There were people pulled over and taking things out of their cars, and a lot of cars crashing into eachother. It was a very stressful scene. I was like, "we are getting out of here", and did the u-turn. After driving out of the fog safely, we discovered that there were this maniac monkeys that brought the fog down to the valley to kill everyone. I think we learned that from the radio, or my mind, it was my dream.

We start driving north along the mountains and find this supper crickety and abandonned looking house, in Lindon or somewhere. For some reason we decide to try and hide up in it. The logic was that the apes wouldn't look for us in an abandonned looking house. We were trying to climb to the top level, which was about seven stories up and then we noticed a light on in one room. In that room was Ben Affleck and someone else. They were just relaxing on a couch watching TV, like thee was no "end of the world" situation going on. Ben tells us that we can't hide out there. "There is no way they won't destroy the whole building" he told us, so we starting hiking back towards the car. Ben and company came with us.

Then someone decides to take charge and lead us to where we "need to go." Everyone else felt a feeling of creepiness, but no one else had a better idea, so we follow his lead. He takes us to the mouth of a mini canyon that was full of water. There was a little pool at the mouth and it was like a good sized creek going up switchbacks while also going into the canyon. We all start hiking up and in, but before we get too far I realized that the person that had led us there had lit the water on fire! Most of us got out of the firey waters, but four people died, including the guy that led us to the trap. That guy actually voluntarily got in the waters after he lit them on fire. As he burned he was yelling things about how the killer apes were fulfilling signs of armageddon and that he needed to die in this creek/canyon to fulfill prophecy and make it to heaven. It was very disturbing.

We decided that we needed to get as far away from the mountains as we could, because that is where the origional fog came from that precedes the inimate coming of the killer primates. Walking back to the car we came across some other college-aged students and decide to ride with them. Their car holds a lot more people, like a dozen. For just a second I thought to myself "Wow, I sure am glad that those people died up in canyon, so we all can fit semi-comfortably in this van." Horrible, right?! That was the first time during this dream that I thought "is this a dream?" Not when there were killer apes, not when Ben Affleck joined us, not when water was lit on fire, just when I had a really morally degenerate though I thought it was a dream.

We start driving towards Elko and Andrew from my FHE is driving. I look in the rearview mirror and I see the smoke is following us down the freeway. Everyone starts to panic and wonders how the smoke/apes know where we are, we are in the middle of the salt flats! Then Andrew realizes how they work. Everytime we are in the car with the radio on, the smoke follows. The apes have been tracking us through the radio! We turn of the radio and the smoke stops in its tracks. We applaud Andrew for his leadership and knowledge about killer ape strategy. Then...I wake up.

Weird dream, huh? I think maybe this could be a movie. I wonder what the meaning behind it is...
