The Seeds (non-lucid - 07/25/09)My son and I are visiting friends (tho I don't know these people in real life) and the boys are downstairs watching tv.
I find some seeds in a pail by the door. They remind me of walnuts only the shells are soft and have the texture of olives.
I ask the female owner of the house what's up with the seeds and she says, "Come outside and I'll show you."
We walk outside and see a strange tree in the backyard.
She points to the tree and says that the seeds that fall after sunset must not be allowed to lay for long on the ground because the resulting trees get out of hand and are hard to kill.
I helped her pick up some new seeds that had fallen, put them in the pail and we go back into the house.
My son noticed the seeds and said that he had watched a show about them and that he wanted some. He was so excited.. he stated that they would come alive and he begged me to let him have a couple of seeds.
I took what the owner had said to simply mean that the trees would grow like weeds and I didn't see the harm.. and honestly I didn't believe that anything would happen.
My son took some seeds, went outside and tossed them onto the yard. Suddenly, the seeds grew legs and leaped like frogs across the yard as tho spreading themselves apart.
Once they had all landed, they burst open
and they grew fast.. amazingly fast.. abnormally fast..
A next door neighbor came outside, saw what was happening and yelled at his wife to get his rifle.
His wife ran out, threw him a rifle and opened fire with her own. They both started blasting away at the trees.. trying to stop their growth and spreading.
My friend came out of her house yelling, "OMG.. destroy the seeds!!"
I looked around frantically searching for my son and I saw that he had tied himself to one of the trees so that no one would shoot it!
The neighbors are still blasting away and I scream at them that my son is in the trees and I run at them to stop them from shooting him.
The dream ends.
