Only on Leap Day would I have a dream with two things that actually happened while I was dreaming.
1) A thunderstorm (which was impossible in my dream because I was on the Starship Enterprise...in the far reaches of the Universe...where there is no atmosphere...)
2) Nothing I can explain without being too weird (sorry)
So, I woke up to a thunderstorm. My yard was flooded. Actually, so was the building that I went to. One of the hallways literally had about 2.5 inches of standing water.
Need I mention that it's February?
And it's storming....again.
*lightning flashes*
Yes. It's about to storm soon.
My house is surrounded by cumulonimbus (storm) clouds with lightning illuminating them.
*checks the clouds outside*
and they're passing us.
They had formed a horseshoe around our house. Come to think of it, they looked a lot like the clouds that I thought the Rocky Mountains were the first time I traveled to Colorado.
Here are some pictures:
Did any strange things happen to you today?
P. S.
Does Leap Day remind anyone else of Ireland? (Or is it just me)
Everyone (especially writers) needs a little inspiration every once in a while. Some people go to the scriptures, some to music, nature, pictures, architecture, and quiet.
I listen to music and read from Proverbs. (I'll post some of my favorite Bible verses in another post)
For those of you looking for good writing songs, I've posted quite a few below. Enjoy!
Doctor Who - All The Strange, Strange Creatures
You don't have to watch something to appreciate the music.
Doctor Who Series 5 - I am the Doctor
This has to be one of my favorites. It actually played in a dream that I had....

Play this song when someone is talking, and it'll sound like they're giving an epic speech.
