Desert Dream Preface

I dreamt last night. It connected a lot of places I've been dreaming about for the last few months, the hotel, my house, the desert, the roads, the caravans.

My mother was set up a the hotel, and there was a pastry convention going on, so I was killing two birds with one stone. Then I went to my dads place to talk to him before I set off home. There I picked up my cat and a dog named Lisa. She's a black boxer with a white chest. She's very amicable (never met this dog in real life) .
Anyway, I set off for the desert, driving the long complicated roads.

When I get there, the caravans have already arrived. Usually I see them on the way to the desert. They set up usually along the side of the road in like mini portable towns, like gypsies. Anyway, this time, they're at the desert tonight, and I let kitty and Lisa out of the suburban and get out to talk with people and start learning about the desert's secrets.

I can't figure out what everyone is doing there. I was drawn there. Theres something foreboding and ancient and hostile deep in the caves in the middle of this desert. And this desert isn't a Kalahari. It's more like our Californian deserts full of dunes....or like a nazca desert. It's got shrubs, and it's sorta rocky and reddish, and it has caves in the distance. 
Creatures lives or lived in those caves, and they're very deep, and I need to go inside and find out what it is.

The one time I did go in, I found an underground waterfall.  In the water at the top of the waterfall, there were stones that made a line pointing out across the top of the waterfall. If you stepped on the stones they turned red, yellow, or green. 

But I didn't go deep that night. I went to bed and when I woke up my dog was gone, and I searched and searched and searched for her. Then I had to leave, because I needed to get back home.  So I went home with only Kitty.  I was pretty sad.


I want to know whats going on!! Each night I hope that my dreams will explain a little more.
