Lake Effect

(Wednesday, January 3, 2024) three-quarter moon Libra / tarot Strength

A dream influenced by the tsunami warning in Japan, I think.

I live in a house on a bay, one that reminds me of the small harbor along the town of Isle on Lake Mille Lacs. It is a seventies-style two-story house with living spaces on the upper floor and a two-car garage beneath it, on the main floor, facing the lake. A tuck-under garage, I guess, although it is not underground. Space for boats and cars.

Cheerful friends and family share our house. They are interacting and having a good time together. I am full of fear, though, because there has been a warning of high-level waves coming toward the shore. I am terrified that the tsunami will crash and destroy our home. Kill us. Construction workers are outdoors, getting ready and protecting the house. Not enough for me, since they add no plywood to the windows and doors as they would for a hurricane. The window screens are open and I close them. I watch the handymen connect and seal the garage door to the driveway with a piece of aluminum. Snowball has been enjoying moving in and out of the house, so I put him inside of a bedroom and close the door.

It is dusk, nighttime is coming. The storm will arrive in the darkness. I do not understand why my companions are unworried about the drama and roar of the wild current that is predicted and on its way. I consider fleeing into the woods and coaxing my friends to join me.

There is more to the dream that I no longer remember. It is full of emotion. Terror. Although it may turn out that I am wrong about the danger. I don’t know.

Day notes:

One year there was a very powerful spring storm at our Mille Lacs cabin. The waves actually rose above the shore and hit the front porch, damaging the 1909 log siding.
