Alright, I'm bored, so I'll take the time to type one out.
Pretext: I had this dream only one time. I have no idea how I can remember it in such detail. The main subject of all the events in the dream is time. It probably has something to do with my interest in time, distortion of time, the end of mankind, etc... In the dream, there are a lot of things I know for a fact, even though there's no way I could possibly know these things. Diffucult to understand. So when I say I "know" something in the description of the dream, that's what I'm talking about. I just know. I don't know how or why I know, but I just do. It doesn't make a lot of sense.
The dream:
I'm standing on the sidewalk in a neighborhood. From the direction I'm facing, there are three houses on the left. There is nothing else. Nothing behind me, nothing behind the houses, nothing on the other side of the street, or at the end of the street. For some reason, I don't see it as being out of the ordinary. It's like everything aside from these three houses is not part of existence, causing me to not even notice that nothing is there. There's just the three houses.
House #1:
I stand on the sidewalk in front of the house. It's a nice-looking house. There are two floors, nice grass, and a white picket fence. There is one window on each floor. On the ground level floor, there is a very old woman in a rocking chair, just staring at the wall. Through the window on the second floor, I see a young attractive girl with long black hair watching television. I move on to the second house.
House #2:
There are two young children tossing a ball back and forth in the yard. They are brother and sister. They are maybe 10-12 years old. I just "know". Even though I can't see into the house, it's empty. There are no adults/parents there. It's just the two children there, playing with a ball in the yard. They don't acknowledge that I'm even there as I stand and watch them. I move on.
House #3:
The first thing I notice is an old man with a cane standing next to me; He's standing at the edge of the yard by the sidewalk, where I'm standing. He seems to know I am there, but says nothing. I cannot see into this house either, but I "know" there is a large family get-together going on inside. Between 10-12 people, most adults, some children. They are preparing a large dinner as they laugh and talk (which I cannot hear, I just know). There is also a small white cat in the yard. After a few moments, it starts to wander across the street (into the "nothingness").
-----This is where it turns EXTREMELY weird...-----
At that moment, I'm suddenly standing back at the beginning of the same street, though things are much different. I'm now aware of the "nothingness" that surrounds the houses. The empiness now looks like a galaxy in all directions (you probably know what a galaxy looks like from a picture; Swirling cloud-looking formations, stars, etc....). One thing stands out more than anything else; The galaxy-like textures are a crimson/blood red color. The textures are in motion, swirling around, etc... The "nothingness" has turned into a frightfull crimson abyss. That's the best way I can describe it. I move forward as I did before.
Return to House #1:
The fences are broken, the yard is dead. I "know" that time at this house has advanced a great deal. I again look through the windows... On the first floor, the rocking chair is now still. The old woman has been dead for many years. Her corpse continues to decompose in the chair. I "know" she died of old age/natural causes. Upstairs, the young dark-haired woman is also dead. It is obvious she grew very old, and I sense she also died of natural causes. I move forward.
Return to House #2:
Time here has been severely distorted. I first notice the house. It has completely burned to the ground. Nothing is left but blackened rubble and ash. I "know" that the house burned down decades ago. I see the ball the two children were playing with laying unattended in the yard. I then notice the two children standing very near to my right. I don't know how I didn't see them before. While the house itself seemed to advance in time (possibly) centuries, time has gone backwards for the children, but only by a few years. They appear to be 5-6 years old now. They are standing side-by-side, staring at me with wide eyes and the most fearfull look I've ever seen on their faces. For some reason, they are completely terrified of me, and are too scared to even move. After a few moments, I continue on. The children's eyes follow me as I move to the next house.
Return to House #3:
Time here has also been severly distorted in several directions. I see the old man first again. He's still standing there with his cane, but now has the appearance of a zombie. I sense that time has advanced as much as 200 years. The body stands there motionless, but the eyes are moving over me. Somehow, he's still alive, although I know that if I were so much as to touch him, he would crumble. From the outside, the house appears exactly the same, however, I know that the large family inside is dead. There was a fire, and they all burned alive; But it was an unnatural fire. I know that the fire completely destroyed the inside of the house, killing everyone, but from the outside, there is no evidence of a fire. I also sense that the fire occured very recently (within hours). The old mans eyes move away from me. I follow them to the street, where the white cat is now crossing back, towards us. The cat has also been substantially affected by a distortion in time. It is now the size of a large dog, with longer, tangled, dirty fur, and it now has much larger teeth, with small tusks in the front. I know it is the same cat, but it's as if it reverted to what its species would have been hundreds of thousands of years ago. Larger, more muscular, the more deadly teeth, etc. ::::::: The following conclusion to the dream happened in literally under a second :::::::: As the cat wandered up to us, it suddenly lunged at the old mans neck, decapitating him instantly. His headless body fell to the ground, but just as the cat landed on the ground, it fired straight back up towards my neck. I started to put up my hands to shield myself..........
.......... and woke up, never knowing whether I was killed or not.

I always wondered what these people who claim to be able to "interperet" dreams would make of this one.... Dreams always lack logic, but I've never had one quite like this. And I can remember it so vividly.... every detail...
Well, this has taken quite a bit of time to type out. Hopefully it will at least make an interesting read.
