Dream of Sandstone Skies

I am walking down a desert road, when I look down to see a dark-burgundy 'bug'. It seems to be dead, but when I gently pick it up, I can feel it moving. It seems I am with someone else who wants to keep going, but I insist on nurturing the bug for a moment, even as we keep walking.

Slowly the moth begins to stir, and rapidly evolves into a large green caterpillar. I'm looking up to the sky, and it seems to be like the surface of another planet, like Mars, only maybe only from 20 miles away or so. I can see large tracts of weathered sandstone, with ridges and shallow plains and sedimentary mesas. I can see windows opening in the sky. I can see bubbles emerging like unfolding lenses full of light.Dream from Nov. 17, 2012Posted by: McAllister
