Dream 8, last night

Part 1: My mom's family is with us in this huge room. It's three stories high and could fit a couple jets side by side. I think Josh Groban was there, too, but I'm not sure. The part I remember is this train crash simulation, except these people would let the train drop from about a story above the ground onto explosives. They did it twice, and each time I thought it was a real train disaster and one of my family was underneath the train. I think Josh Groban was singing and the train would drop after he sang. But, again, I'm not sure. It was not a fun dream.

Part 2: Same room, after explosions, and all my cousins are sitting in this round wood structure with a diameter of about six feet. They're eating lunch. Barium climbs in and I try to get in, too, but I can't. They won't let me in.

Part 3: At place similar to Sea Ranch. This time Mom, Barium, and I are at a beach. These odd, translucent sea urchins are on the beach. They form a circle. My mom and some other adult are making a fire to cook dinner. I pick up an urchin and show it to Mom. She says we should put some urchins in a stew. The urchin grips my fingers with it's spines. It digs the spines deeper in my fingers, and my mom has to yank them out. My finger is dotted with holes.

Part 4: My mom, Barium, and I are at a place similar to Sea Ranch. Our rental house's living room is right on the beach and the wall facing the beach has glass windows and sliding doors. There is a storm and the waves are climbing higher and higher. It gets to the point where they're crashing against the glass door. I'm standing there, watching a turtle as it is pulled closer to the glass. I really like this turtle for some reason. Unfortunately, it's losing it's strength as it tries to battle the fierce waves. My mom comes over and tells me I need to save it before it hits the glass. I tell her that I'm not sure that I want to, because of the stormy condition.

Right after I say that, the turtle crashes into the window with a sickening crunching sound. It's neck breaks and it floats away, limp. I turn around and cry.

Part 5: Mom, Barium, and I walk to a beach. The storm is over. Barium and my mom step into the water. I call out, "Careful, there might be a shark there!" As I finish saying this, a huge eight foot shark swims away from my mom and brother. My mom steps back, smiling, but her eyes are tense with fear. Barium comes out too, slowly.

I turn around and see a snake dart out of the grass and towards Barium. I yell, "Barium, move! There are snakes everywhere!" He jerks back, and we can see snakes lying in the water. We watch the snake slither into the ocean. Barium jumps back in. My mom tells him to get out and we walk back home.

When we enter our home, there's an odd sound. Barium has to go to his piano lesson, so he's getting his books together. That sound ends up being a cicadaish bug. I'm scared, so I ask Mom if I can come along with them to Barium's lesson. She agrees, but she's not happy. I hurry to gather school work that I can do while I'm there, and she is yelling at me. I grab the laptop and shove it in the bag. Finally, we leave.
