Tumbleweed

I was somewhere in the countryside on a wide track with big verges. The track ran parallel to a huge field of low crops on my left, which was slightly downhill with some woods behind it. The track continued into some trees at the end. On the floor under my feet there was loooads of debris; it looked like all the crap that is left after flood waters recede. There was so much that it completely covered the floor and there were a few big piles of it scattered about. The sky was a kind of ominous dark red colour and there was a sense of impending doom. There were other anonymous people trying to keep on top of all the rubbish but I couldn't find my mum and Sarah (who was pissed off with me from a previous dream). All the mounds of crap started merging together to form a giant tumbleweed which rolled down the track towards to the trees, and it was crushing people as it went when they didn't get out of the way. I followed it carefully as it travelled up the track and into the trees, where there were more people getting squished by it. On the right there was a slight incline with some trees, straight ahead was a steep little track through some branches and on the left was another smaller, winding track. The tumbleweed stopped in the middle of all of the tracks so I sat down on a stone to keep out of the way and decide what to do. When I looked down at the floor I saw a baby's skeleton in a broken coffin. By now there was a preacher telling the tumbleweed and the people that were left to go ahead and squeeze through the steep track. It was obvious it wasn't going to fit so I hid in the branches as much as I could. The tumbleweed was trying to fit through the trees but it was too big, and all the people were getting crushed. I went back out to the track by the field and the sky was even darker and redder. I knew that something terrible was going to happen if I stayed there but I was not going to be part of the tumbleweed. So me and someone (maybe Sarah?) climbed over the fence and ran down to the bottom of the field to hide from the tumbleweed. We thought there were so people in the forest by the field, so I picked some seedling things from the crops and blew them into the air. It was quite dark by now and the seedlings shimmered in the air for a while. A girl came out of the forest to look at them and we asked her to hide us. We followed her back into the trees and down lots of little passages, it looked like the Totoro forest! It was all magical and safe and cute ^_^
