Itzy Bitzy Fire (August 26th, 2007)

This first dream sequence was really gross and quite real.
I was on my side, in my bed in both my dream and in reality. The only difference was that my hand was positioned differently. It was bent in front of my body, holding a plate of food, whatever it was.
A spider was crawling partly on my hand, partly on the edge of the plate. I usually don't mind spiders. My mother yells as she kills them in what she clims to be self-defence, and urges people to do the same, they are definitely not welcome in her home. I'm no spider friend, but I never kill one.
This spider, however, was big like a tarantula, but it had more the appearance, body shape, of a black widow. It was grey and black, and the colours were on it in a sort of camouflage system, like on a military style coat or something.
I did not like how close this thing was to me, my bed or my food. So I made a quick movement with my hand, and that woke me up.

Later in the night, I was in Portugal.
There was this row of houses and apartments, I don't know which. And I could see straight into them from the street, like one of the four walls was missing.
And there was a mountain landscape behind all this, with bare rock and a few pines, which definitely looked more like Norway than Portugal.
And the forest was on fire. I don't think I ever saw more than smoke, and I think someone had told me this news or I'd heard it somewhere, I don't know.
Last year, there were indeed many forest fires in the area, and our water was cut off, so it's not an unlikely thing to dream. Anyway, back to the point.
My sister was in the apartment/house sleeping, and I was worried and had to wake her. And there she was in her bed, sleeping in broad daylight, which isn't unlikely either, by the way.
