I dreamt.
I was walking in a downtown area, on my way to work. All of a sudden, a giant monster erupted from the street a few blocks down. It was similar to the extra dimensional biological entity in Watchman: a giant tentacled beast with one giant eye. It was stuck halfway in the ground and could not move.
For some reason, it was fixated on me. It started throwing cars in my direction. I ran away. I weaved through alleys and side streets trying to hide from the monster but it always knew where I was even though it couldn’t see me. Cars, parts of buildings and bodies were raining down all around me. I watched people become crushed and die by the destruction. I was overcome with an indescribable amount of guilt and horror, so many people were dying because the monster wanted to kill me and I kept running away. Because of me, I was spreading death and destruction.
I finally got far enough away so the monster stopped throwing things at me. I felt psychologically damaged.
I awoke.
