Rocket Ship
I'm a little behind. A couple weeks ago I dreamed I was at my folks house. it was late in the evening and everyone was going to bed. My sister, Michelle, slept in her room. My brother Jeremy slept int eh back room, and then little Jeremy (the same brother only about 15 years younger) slept in my room. In the dream it didn't seem strange that there were two incarnations of the same brother at different ages.
I decided to sleep in the den downstairs. I was looking for a flashlight in the cabinet when I knocked over some things and woke up my mother. She came downstairs to find out about the noise. Then we started talking. I noticed a flashlight outside and was startled. She said that it was probably the neighbor, who sometiems checked on them late at night.
He knocked at the door and sure enough it was the neighbor. We spoke a moment and then he turned to leave. As he was leaving a convocade of vehicles came down our road. In the midst of the lines of cars and trucks was a flatbead trailer truck hauling a a short fat rocket. They drove across our yard and into the neighbor's field.
My mother and I climbed into a hovercraft and floated around the house watching them. Their yard was filled with vehicles and then a someone dug up all their bushes to use the space somehow. We decided to go wake my dad and floated around to his bedroom window. Turns out he was already awake and covered in mud. He had already been down there arguing with them and they assured him that they would fix everything after the launch.
The whole family woke up and decided to watch the launch. We were standing in their front yard and look up the hill in the neigbor's field. The rocket launched but then seemed to get off course and started heading for us. Everyone started running away. It crash landed in my folks front yard and all of us went flying due to the blast.
Next moment it was morning and we were in the house. We ran outside to check the damage and there was no evidence the rocket had ever been there. The flower beds were in perfect condition. We went to the neighbor's field and saw a military post on top of the hill. We went in and asked about the rocket but they denied having any idea about a rocket or a rocket launch.
