So I had a bit of a dream, and I'd love to hear what y'all think of it.

I was in this Food Basics grocery store, and I remember that in the area on a higher level, I was wandering about while a very small group of six people were both having a party in a large gym-room and taking some kind of quiz in another. I needed to use the washroom but the one on that floor was in pretty bad shape, so I walked down to the main level.

There, I was in the Food Basics proper (and I remember that I tried traveling to the basement, but it was flooded), so I had wandered over to the cashiers, where a cashier offered me a pack of $1.45 coupons in a pack of 10 for $10. I politely declined and started to wander outside, where the streets were extremely skewed - I remember that I had to make a trek on an incline roughly 60 degrees to get out of the parking lot.

It was night, and there was a lot of people swarming around, one of which was [livejournal.com profile] fpelayo in a bright-red flimsy party hat but he wasn't paying attention to me (he walked right past me as if he was deliberately blanking me), but another friend, Michael (though I don't think it looked like Michael) told me that a strange person was looking for me, like needed to find me, and others around took this as a sign that I was being hunted down. I shrugged it off, claiming that it wasn't a problem, to which someone said it was "your epitaph". A dark car had driven out of the skewed parking lot and sped past me, to which I merely hopped out of its way and I never saw it again.

Shrugging, I turned around to look at the building I had left, noticing that it too was skewed and not using straight edges at all, and it reminded me of the crystal part of the Royal Ontario Museum. The CN Tower behind the building was unusually large, like it was drawn closer for effect with its red lights glowing as it does. As I looked at it, it started to fall.

My thought was "And there goes the CN Tower." in a very uninterested tone.

It snapped in half, just below the bulbous point, and the lights on one side of the structure went out. At this point, the crowd behind me started to panic (as did I), and in the typical Hollywood fashion, the lights all around us started to go out in batches, until there was no lights available to see anything, not even illumination from the stars in the sky (despite that the CN Tower doesn't provide electricity).

I opened my cellphone and tried to press "send" but the phone didn't do anything. I don't recall entering a number but I was convinced that the cellphone wasn't working because undoubtedly everyone else was in a more frantic state and had already overloaded the cellphone tower nearby (which, now that I'm thinking about it, could've been the CN Tower). I still couldn't see anything.

I woke up with a bit of a jolt from that. It's not every night you wake up from a dream where iconic structure of the city falls. O_o

So yeah, I saw the CN Tower fall! :S Thoughts and Analysis? I figure the skewed building and parking lot came from our watching Big Fish last night, but everything else is quite unusual, I can't place why all those events collaborated like that.
