Yeah, this dream had kind of a “The Village” theme to it.

Was living on a monastery-type compound, I think.  Somebody mentioned some book about “Secrets of the Universe” or “Unknown Matter” or something weird like that.  I think stuff happened next, but I don’t remember what… …until the end.

I’m running from two beasts(?): dogs, maybe?  (Oh yeah, did I mention this was all taking place on my old farm in Alhambra?)  Once I reach the front pasture the beasts stop.  I’m all, “What are they afraid of?”  So I’m hiding in the pasture wondering what is going to come out of the woods when a car drives by.  Then I realize it’s the cars?  Maybe we didn’t know about automobiles (that’s where the “The Village” theme comes from)…something like that.  (I should probably note here that I’ve never seen “The Village”.) 

Anyways, not a few seconds after I see the second car drive by the road is packed with cars.  Not traffic-style.  These cars/trucks/semis aren’t going less than 55mph.  And that little two-lane with no shoulders is now 3 lanes.  Not widened, mind you.  The cars are scrapping each other as they pass (I remember watching a semi pass between another semi and a car, then, BAM.  A pile-up begins.  Before I know it there’s a wreck several cars deep and as far as you can see in both directions.

Then some guy comes out of nowhere and tries to explain something about why we should all leave the compound(?).  Somewhere along the lines of, “I’ve alread made more money than this wreck just cost.”  Something weird like that.
