In that dream, i literally saw the end of the world.

At the start of it, i'm sitting in some cafe with my boss on the balcony of some building in Makati, discussing career advancement options. It's evening and the moon appears to be quite large, almost like it's moving closer by the second. I dismiss it as some sort of natural phenomena. Later, the moon is really close, filling up about a quarter of the sky, close enough to see the details on it.

Examining it more closely, small explosions seem to be dotting it's surface. At first, i think they're meteor impacts. The TV in the cafe then switches to some news channel, the reporter saying that a lot of networks have been having trouble getting connections from their broadcast satellites, thus making it clear what the explosions actually are. Then the screen fills with static.

At this point, the stars have been blotted out and the sky is nothing but an expanse of gray craters.

Circles of brightness appear on the moon's surface. Small at first but growing steadily larger. People start panicking by now. Most head for the lower levels of the building while a few, including me, stay up to watch the events. Without warning, shafts of light stab downwards, vaporizing anything in their path. Those of us with cellphones open then get reports saying that the same thing has been happening all over the world. It then makes sense to head downwards and seek shelter.

I then end up running down the emergency stairwell, cellphone in hand and trying to reassure my folks that everything's okay. Right in the middle of telling them that i love them, the floor suddenly shifts and i'm thrown on my back, along with everything else. Yep, looks like the building's collapsing. Things seem strangely weightless, i then look out the small window and see the lights on the adjacent building flashing past.

I don't know what would've happened afterwards, because my eye are open and i'm breathing heavily. I realize that i'm now awake and am staring at the ceiling. It's seldom that i get dreams that vivid and even weirder that it's something i can remember quite clearly. That's exactly the kind of dream i really hate getting.

Kinda makes you think what really is going on up there, right?
