Something about a farm silo blowing up, but it's at the television studio I used to be a graphic designer at back in the 1990s.  Then a crane goes by with a giant hammer suspended from it.

Dream memory tells me all of this is sensible, but not completely -- something about it puzzles me (all these lucid cues, and yet!).

Then my digital watch malfunctions.  I need it for a 10K race I'm about to run, but it suddenly regresses from a 21st-century liquid crystal display to a 20th-century light-emitting-diode one.  I think that's odd, but I attribute it to the watch not working rather than it being a dream.  My mother and father are arguing in the background, and I wake up.

    Forensic Files episode gives me a nightmare

    I park my car on a road near the college I've just signed up for classes at. Suddenly my mind seems to go into some kind of haze, and the next thing I know I find myself wandering around campus in a struck stupid sort of state.

    Then, I seem to lose track of events again and I now am in a bar near the campus, and I'm drinking with all the other students. But I'm perplexed because I can't remember going there or where I parked my car. I groggily go with some students somewhere.

    Again, I seem to go into a zombie state and the next thing I know we're getting out of a car and the two men with me are directing me to follow them. Very nervous now, I try to go up to a strange house so I can call Dad and have him pick me up -- I feel desperate, like my amnesia is getting worse.

    But they force me into the car. Now I'm panicking. We come to another house and they pull up in the driveway and make me get out. I see clearly now who was driving -- a thin, older black guy who has the face of a hardened criminal. A young white guy is with him.

    The black guys turns into the murderer that I just saw a Forensic Files episode on -- Joseph Corbett, who tried to kidnap Coors heir, Adolph Coors III, in 1960, but ended up murdering him instead.

    I see the outline of a hammer swinging through the air and some kind of cable attached to it. It hits my head and hurts horribly. But I'm still conscious. I realize I no longer have my wallet or my keys in my pockets -- they've taken everything. As I lie there I plead with them to just let me go. But the hammer is swinging towards me again. It's then I realize they've been driving me around in my own car and they're going to steal it after they kill me.

    I wake up right then and am greatly relieved to find out it was a dream.

    except, once more, there are too many iMac colors

    A head of a hammer that's made of a strong alloy is bouncing around. It cuts a car in half [startling precognitive dream: my co-worker told me today about a murder case where someone embedded a hammer into someone's skull, and the police found the victim that way...the odd part is, I didn't recall the dream until just now, at 9:20 PM, when I began transcribing it from my bedside pad to dreamjournal].

    The two pieces of the split car morph at a disturbing speed into two futuristic-looking airplanes (lots of iMac colors in them).

    The hammerhead hits the two airplanes, and they become two [I know, the math is off...] rockets that are similar in appearance.

    The hammerhead zings by again, and this time it cuts the EARTH in half. Oddly, there are no earthquakes -- but we watch the other half of the earth...which we're not on...move away from us and morph into a futuristic planet that looks very peaceful (except, once more, there are too many iMac colors).
