Desert Planet


Well the dreams have started up again - with a vengeance. So here's one I just had an hour ago, and I only fell asleep for 45 minutes.

I was on another planet. The planet was made of nothing but desert sand. There were hills everywhere but it was all sand. Now, I'm standing there with a group of mountain hikers and they are deciding which way we should go. I see a small little wood outhouse just sitting in the middle of the sand somewhere. I figure I should use the bathroom. I walk over to it, and open the door.
As soon as I go in, I see the toilet but next to it are a ton of clothes with hangers, like I walked into someones clothing closet. As I'm looking at the skirts, my cell phone on me rings. At first, I'm confused. How could I get a signal here on another planet? So I answer. It's some guy I do not know going, "So, how are you" and I say "uh, fine."
Then some woman from the mountain hikers comes in, and goes to the bathroom. I bend down and hide behind a bunch of clothes hanging from this pole; meanwhile the guy on the phone keeps talking and asking me a bunch of provocative questions. I say "I can't talk right now" and then I hang up.
As soon as the women leaves, I see another way to get out of this little hut from the bottom of a wall, there's an opening. Instead of using the front door, I force myself through this small hole in the wood, out onto the sand. As I collapse on the sand, I see a large flying bird the size of a dinosaur slowly making it's way down to land. It lands about 100 feet from me, and begins to roost there, just sitting and making squawking noises.
