So the other night I had this weird dream. I was at my parents' house, except it was in a much more hilly area than exists around here. Anyway, the phone starts ringing, it's a landline even though my mom finally got rid of hers a couple years ago. As I'm getting up to answer the phone, I can see out the window that there's a flash flood happening, and water's already making its way inside the house.
At this point I should mention that my parents house basically starts 1 floor up from ground level because it's in a flood plain, so it's not unusual to deal with flooding there, but it's never reached up to what I would call the first floor, at least not to my knowledge. Well it did in the dream, in fact the water was rising so quickly that it was almost engulfing the phone on the table by the time I got up from the couch and walked the handful of steps to pick it up. I just managed to get it out of the water in time to answer it. It was an automated warning about flash flooding, super timely.
So then we start trying to get to the top floor to avoid the water and the last thing I saw before the dream ended was that the flood water outside caught on fire. One of the most stressful dreams I've ever had, it was a struggle to go back to sleep after that one.
