The Thunder Dragon

I'm at a big picnic event, sitting with strangers, it was in our old back lawn at the old Hudsons rd house. There were hundreds of people picnicking, gypsy music and everyone chatting. The sun was setting in the east in a show of brilliant orange, it was quite beautiful, looking out over the fields. Suddenly someone comes over and sits beside me, it's Laura Holt. "Hey, enjoying the picnic?" I hesitate, takes me about 5 seconds to recognise her. "Yeah, how about you? How've you been?" She says she's having fun. She leans in and asks " So what did you get him?" At first i had no idea who 'him' was but then thought she must mean Garth my brother. "Ummm, lets see...ah, i cant quite remember" I couldn't remember what i got him, but in my mind i thought maybe silk scarves, strangely. A loud crack of lightening silences everybody and people stand and look to the sky. Dark clouds start swirling above. Another crack of lightening strikes and lands in the middle of the picnic area sending a few people flying. Screams of terror ring out as a gigantic dragon falls from the sky, landing like a cat in the closest field . I turn and grab Laura "Run! Over there to the right! Under the hedge!" We get up and run. I hear the dragon bellow out a deep roar, people screaming as a shower of lightning is shot into the scrambling people. I didn't see Laura again. I spent the rest of the dream. Hiding and watching the dragon burning people to death with its lightening breath. In the end i was hiding in mum and dad's old bathroom looking out the window as the dragon walked past closely. I was trying to accept that i would die soon in a lot of pain. /
