jon_chaisson | Dreams, Influences and the IWN...again

Last night I had a rather bizarre dream in which me and a handful of people had to get to a shelter quickly and ride out a sinister force. I don't know if it was a force of nature (like a Cat5 hurricane or a tsunami) or if it was an invading force, i.e. a military enemy. I'm thinking it's the latter, as after we rode it all out we emerged to find the land around us in smoky ruin. It was a rather vivid dream and I seem to remember cowering as we heard loud rumbling above us while we hid in near-darkness. The only odd thing about this dream is that Annie Lennox was one of the people down there. Don't know why, though...

This isn't the only war-themed dream I've had over the past month. I know it's due to the fact that I've been talking about the IWN endlessly here on LJ, added to the fact that I'm in the middle of rereading The Children's War by J.N. Stroyar, which is an alternate-reality sort of story where the Nazis had won WWII. In the past few weeks I've dreamed of finding a literal Underground Railroad people were using to escape the area, and I dreamed about trying to get through a war zone without getting shot.

I'm thinking that the IWN is subliminally calling me again, trying to talk me into one more rewrite for old time's sake. ;)
