@Somber and I were speaking of dreams a bit earlier, and it reminded me of one that somehow did not linger in my conscious after waking up from it the other night, but in the dream itself, I was terrified and lamented in a way that almost seemed like an OT prophet being chosen to deliver bad news to Israel or Judah for their abandonment.
In the dream I was found by my mother sitting in my car out in the dead-end circle where my grandparents' house in Chattanooga is located IRL, weeping and staring up periodically into the sky with horror and sadness on my face through the windshield of the car. She asked me what was wrong, trying to console me, but, I seemed to be the only one who could see the giant hole in the Earth's atmosphere, up in the night sky. I feared the coming of the morning, because I thought this meant the suns rays would burn through the ozone layer and kill everyone on this hemisphere of Earth within minutes by excruciating heat, and even now at this moment that meant the entire other hemisphere was being destroyed by a glaring sun. I wept that it would be the end of every last person on Earth by early morning. But my mother could not see the terrifying black hole in the night sky like I could. The picture may seem ridiculous to you - after all, how can black be fully visible against black with just some stars sprinkled throughout? But in the dream itself, it was like a glaring gateway to Hell or Oblivion to me. And somehow I was the only one who could see it, like a prophet who really did not want the bad thing they were tasked to see and declare to actually happen. And at least in the Old Testament whenever it happened, God's punishment of faithless Israel and Judah never seemed to last forever; in His mercy and for His name's sake He always eventually came to restore their safety and fortune. But in this dream, it was an utter end to the entire world.
