Dream

I was in the home of my friends located in Utah. It was a beautiful place that sat on the side of a mountain. The back of the home was three levels, each level was floor to ceiling glass windows that allowed the entire view of the west side of the valley to be appreciated. I was with two men and one young girl...I do not remember seeing faces but something about them seemed familiar and I knew we had a strong bond. I was coming down the stairs to the second level moving towards the kitchen. I remember the smell of the food, the brightness of the sunshine coming in through the windows and the feel of the smooth banister under my hand as I descended the stairs. I recall feeling very, very happy. We were having a BBQ and I wanted to go out onto the patio to chat and check progress. Suddenly, I looked towards the Oquirh mountain range and saw a tremendous mushroom cloud rise up behind the mountains and it spread the length of the entire mountain range. I remember saying something like "Oh my god, what's happening".  I recall the many thoughts coming through my mind...meteor shower, war, etc....trying to make sense of what I was witnessing. Following the explosion a wall of water came up over the top of the mountain range like a tidal wave heading straight for us. I remember thinking about the people on the west end of the valley...the ones that were already gone. We ran. I grabbed the girl and we ran. As I ran for the door I recall feeling that it was impossible to outrun this thing, this was it, but I knew because I was still living I needed to keep trying to live and run. So my legs kept moving. I opened the door and looked up at the peaks of the Wasatch mountains and saw another wall of water rolling over the tops of the mountains and ripping apart every living thing along the mountainside. There was nowhere to go. We went back into the house and went to the top floor. We entered a yellow room and sat on the soft carpet. The room was bright and I  turned my back to the window because I wanted to keep my focus on my friends and not the impending doom. I reached out and took their hands and we sat close in a circle. I told each of them how much I loved them and why I was grateful to have them in my life...I also said that I was grateful to be here with them in the end. I remember squeezing their hands so tightly because I was scared. There was not a feeling of regret for things unsaid in my life but I so desperately wanted to live because there was so much that I still wanted to do. The guy on my left was weeping and I held him in my arms and told him I had no idea what was going to happen I did not know if it was going to be ok, but we are here together and I love you. Then the house lifted and we were thrown against the windows which for some reason never broke. We began sliding down the mountain and I knew a big cliff was in our path and that if we made it that far we would plummet over the edge of the cliff. 
Then suddenly I was on the beach standing with all of the survivors of the disaster. I asked someone where this beach had come from and he told me it used to be the west side of the valley and now it is an ocean similar to how it had been so long ago. I looked up and I saw my friends house sliding down the mountain towards us. The house hit the ground and was destroyed I ran towards the home and found my friends all of whom were ok. Then this dream ended and I was in another dream...with a completely different story.
