Giant Waves

I'm at a camp/work thing in a tropical place. It feels like the Angelika film center where I used to work. My friend Craig is there, handing tickets out. He tells me about a movie with Rob Lowe and some woman who he thinks I look like. I head to my room and look for the movie. Beckett runs in and out and so do old time gangsters. I watch the movie scanning the actors for someone who resembles me. I don't have any pants on. I see a woman on the screen who sort of looks like me. I'm relieved she isn't old and ugly. My husband appears as an old time gangster. and I see that he's got an erection in his black pants. I let him fuck me from behind and feel aroused by myself and his suit. Beckett runs in and we stop. Later I'm in another part of the camp. The rooms overlook the ocean. I pick up a fishing pole that appears to have a fish at the end of it. I pull and see a colorful tropical fish flailing in the water. The water rises and I see that it's a giant wave about to break and fill the building. I see sea turtles and Pelicans on the surface of the water. I warn everyone to step back. The room fills with angry, salty water, but no one seems phased. I sense the waves will get bigger so I run upstairs and grab my coat and my bag. I want to be prepared in case a tsunami hits. From the stairs I see the ocean up against windows as though the building is a submarine. I open the door and climb higher, knowing I'm only going to be safe for a little longer.

Ships on the Willamette & The Giant Wave

I have a dilapidated ship and so does everyone I know. We are all floating on the Willamette, preparing for a massive group of foreign exchange students to arrive to stay with us on our barges. The sky is dark with occasional bursts of sun shooting though the clouds like a religious painting. I see a line up of foreign exchange students approaching the ships. They are wearing backpacks and clothes from everywhere. Some are obviously Russian, Mongolian, Chinese, Brazilian. Other's origins are hard to decipher. I talk with one of my co-workers who lives on the boat next to me. We both have toddlers and she is trying to feed hers. My toddler isn't on the ship. Her ship is a mess. So is mine. Then someone, maybe one of the exchange students yells. Look at that wave!  We all look. We all see it roiling towards us at rapid speed. I try to grab a few things and escape. I grab a few pairs of pants, a bag, peanuts. Then I realize this grabbing is futile. The wave spills over me, it's heaviness pushes me under, but soon it recedes as quickly as it came. I'm left unscathed. The exchange students stumble around, soggily looking for their new floating homes.
