The strange "dream" of Joe Brandt 
http://apocalipticus.over-blog.es/article-el-extrano -dream-of-joe-brandt-48534846.html
This is the story is the result of a series of visions that tube a 17-year-old Joe Brandt, while recovering from a concussion at the hospital in Fresno (California) because of the fall of a horse. Keep in mind that Joe Brandt said that in 1937.
The dream-vision was in perfect continuity, night after night, and for several nights, always resuming exactly the point where he left off last night. This is something unusual and somewhat strange. Joe was pointing his "dreams" in his journal, night after night.
midsize cars, which he saw, in 1937 there were in the United States at that time. Joe Brandt commented on the strange way some of them rounded shape and small spherical and very similar to the cars we have today. This was his
"Dream":
"I woke up in the hospital room with a huge headache as if the world revolved in my brain. I remember, vaguely, the fall of my horse Blackie.Las images began to form in my mind images that moved with lightning speed, and images images turned stopped. seemed to be in another world. If it was the future, or if it was some ancient land, I could not say.
Then slowly, as silver screen cinema, but with color and smell and sound, I seemed to be in Los Angeles Angeles.Los was bigger, much bigger, and buses and cars filled the streets of the city. I thought about Hollywood Boulevard, and I found myself suddenly, there on Hollywood Boulevard. If this is true, I do not know, but there were many boys of my age with beards and he had brought some of them outstanding. All the girls wore skirts ... really short and they went curling forward, moving and doing a strange dance. I wondered if I could talk to them, and I said "hello", but they did not hear me or see me. I decided I could be as funny as I tried to simulate them for a while that crazy kind of walk. I guess it's something you have to learn. But I could not.
Then I noticed that there was a strange silence in the air, a strange kind of calm. There was something more, something that should not be allí.Al first, I could not see, did not know what was happening, until shortly after, and then I realized what was missing: there were no birds. Heard. I walked two blocks north on the Boulevard ... Went through all the houses ... there were no birds. I then asked me had happened to the birds. Had they gone? Where? Again, I could hear the quiet. I had never experienced anything similar. I heard a while ... and only heard the quiet.
So I knew something would happen. I wondered what year it was. Certainly it was 1937. I saw a newspaper in a corner with an image of the president. Surely it was not Mr. Roosevelt. He had big ears, were heavier and larger. If it was 1937, I wondered what year it was then. I looked at the date of the newspaper and the year ended in a number that I could not determine, I was not sure of the correct year. They saw my eyes blur ...
Then came 1937, someone ... anyone ... was that fat nurse and is preparing to take my temperature. I woke up. The pipe dream was the same, the Los Angeles, and the dream would continue where I left the last dream. My headache was worse. Is it any wonder that I had not killed horse.
I had another crazy dream about Hollywood. These people. Why do they dress that way? I wonder. I was back on the Boulevard waiting for something to happen. Something BIG was going to happen and I would be there. I looked up and saw a clock under the big theater. It was 4 about 10 minutes. Something BIG was going to happen. I walked down the street. In the cement in front of a theater were you the names of movie stars. I recognized some of them. The other names were names I had never heard. I was bored. I did not return to the hospital in Fresno, and I wanted to stay there on the Boulevard even if nobody could see me. Those crazy kids. Why are dressed ellos de esa forma? Quizá es alguna víspera de halloween, pero no parece que sea la víspera de Todos los Santos. Parecía mas bien la Primavera, comienzos, o algo similar.
Había de nuevo esa falta de sonido otra vez.FALTABA SONIDO. La CALMA, la CALMA, la CALMA. ¿No sabían estas personas que los pájaros se han ido a algún lugar? El SILENCIO SE HACE BASTANTE GRANDE Y MAS GRANDE. SE QUE ALGO SUCEDERA. ALGO GRANDE SUCEDERA. ¡Y algo sucedió ahora!
Entonces me desperté. Ella me despertó mirandonme desde arriba, sonriendo y sonriendo, aquella enfermera gorda otra vez. "Es hora de que te tomes tu leche, niño," me dice. Cielos, la anciana de la habitación 30 quiere su pijama del gato. La próxima ves quizás ella me traiga chocolate caliente.
EL MOMENTO DEL ACONTECIMIENTO
Dónde fuí no lo se. ¡No se donde yo fui! He estado como en los confines de la tierra y atrás en el tiempo. He estado en el fin del mundo. Creo que no había nada. Ni siquiera el condado de Fresno, aunque estén aquí en este mismo minuto. Si solamente mis ojos conseguieran ver un poco más claro todo lo que puedo ver desde arriba hacia abajo. Pero nadie me creerá, de todos modos.
Entonces vuelvo a ese último momento en el Boulevar. Entonces veo a una mujer arrastrando a dos niños pequeños por cada mano (gemelos, yo adivino). Su falda estaba hacia arriba -- bastanta high - and had a tired look. I thought for a minute if I could ask about the birds, what had happened to them, and then I remembered that she would not see me. The hair was all dirty, and I went through all the parts of your head. Many boys who resembled her, but she seemed so tired and whoever it was seemed to be sorry about something. I guess I was sorry to happen before those, because it probably happened.
was a funny smell. I do not like. A smell like sulfur, sulfuric acid, a smell like death. For a minute, I thought back to chemistry class. When I looked at the girl, she was gone. I wanted to find for some reason. And then I knew something was going to happen and I could stay with her and help her. But it was, and walked half a block, then saw the clock again. The eyes seemed to stick to that clock. I could not move. I waited. It was FIVE MINUTES AT LEAST FOUR POINT ON A SUNNY AFTERNOON. I thought that I would stand there looking at that clock forever waiting to see something coming.
So was he came and it was not anything. There was almost nothing. It was almost as hard as the earthquake we had two years ago. The ground shook, just a moment. People looked at each other, surprised. Then they laughed, and I I laughed too. So this was what I had been waiting for?. This funny short bob. Meant nothing. I was relieved and disappointed. What had been waiting for me? I started back on the Boulevard, trying to move my legs like those boys. How do they do?.
I never found out. I felt as if the ground is not very solid under my feet. I knew I was dreaming but I still was not awake. The air was that smell again, coming as the ocean. Came to a street and saw the look on the faces of two boys. They were before me, came to me. Both with beards. One wore earrings. Then he said each other: "Let us leave this place. Returning to the east." Austad appeared. And then it was as if the sidewalks were trembling, but you could not see it. At least not with the eyes that you would not see it now. An elderly woman had a dog, a white dog, and she and her dog stopped and seemed very frightened, and she then grabbed him by the straps and said, "go home, Frou, Frou.Mamá will take you home." That poor woman was carrying her dog. I was scared. I was really scared.
remembered the girl with two children. Sure, go down. I started running. I ran and ran, and the ground began to shake. But I could not see that. I could not feel it. But I knew that the ground shook. All seemed very frightened. They were terribly frightened. A lady sat on a sidewalk just bent all and then I heard "earthquake is the earthquake." and again she said that. So I knew this time would be very different.
So it was when it happened. It happened very quickly. It was fast as anything. It looked like the scream of a siren, long and low, or the shriek of a woman giving birth to a baby. It was atrocious. It was as if something, some monster, RAISE THE FLOOR UNDER SIDEWALKS. You could feel it long before you see him, as if the sidewalks do not were ground and below. I noticed it in the car. Drivers honked but they were not scared. The cars were moved but remained in the soil. It seemed as if they do not even know anything was happening. Then I saw a white car with a baby and the car was half the size of a normal, left the inside lane with limiting. The girl driving it just sitting there began to mourn. She was there with staring eyes, as if she can not move, but I could hear it. Whined. As a little girl. He made funny noises. I looked at her, thinking of another girl.
I said this was a dream and I wake up ... But I did not wake. I did not wake. The shaking had started again, but this time was different. It was a pleasant trembling, like a rocking crib for a minute, and then I saw the center of the Boulevard qie seemed to be breaking into two parts. The cement appeared to be driven straight up by some giant shovel ... Broke in two. So the girl's car lost control .. AND THEN THERE WAS A LOUD SOUND AGAIN, LIKE I HAD NEVER HEARD BEFORE THAT TIME ... OIA OIA HUNDREDS OF SOUNDS ... ALL KINDS OF SOUNDS OF CHILDREN ..., and women and also those crazy kids slopes. They moved some of them fell to the floor above the sidewalk. I would not describe it well, BECAUSE WHEN THEY WERE THROWN ON THE GROUND FLOOR WERE RAISED HIT, and began to split pipes and water out of them ... The shouts, the noise, all that was atrocious. I woke up. Volber I do not want to ever have that dream again. EARTHQUAKE
All returned. As if the first time out was a presentation and all I could volber to remember, to look again at the end of the world. I immediately went to the same place just to cry. I was in the center of everything. The eardrums felt as if I were to explode. The sound was everywhere. People fell, some of them were hurt by falling, others screamed in terror. Pieces buildings, debris of all kinds of things flying through the air. A piece of something I got on one side of the face, but I felt nothing.
I wanted only to wake up, run away from that place. Was fun at first, in the first dream, when I knew I was dreaming of the end of the world or something. But this was terrible. There were people in cars adult. Most of the children were in the street. But these older dudes screaming as if they were killed, as if anyone could help .. No one could help. No one could help.
was then that I felt elevator up. Maybe I was dead. I do not know. But I was on the city, up on her and watched as he leaned into the ocean just like tilting a picnic table. Some of the buildings had more resistance than I could believe. Put up with. Put up with. People saw this and tried to get inside or get them to side with them. It was fantastic. As a building mantubo standing all the time. Everything was breaking more and more about him, but many of those buildings were still standing like nothing happened. Was up like a feather floating from above watching people. I began to encourage them. Go down that road, I said. go down that road. Keep us in that line. I wanted to cheer, scream, scream. If buildings resisted, those buildings in the Boulevard, maybe the girl girl twins, maybe she could get to get inside one of them.
I looked all this way for a long time, perhaps for three minutes and three minutes seemed to last an eternity. Everybody was trying to get to get inside buildings. Iban get it. I knew they were going to be saved, even if the waters started rising. But they did not know. I have never imagined what was happening for a building start to die. A building as a person dies. Cede, part of the great did, only began to crumble, like an old man who can not stand, can not enter now. Crumbled and pieces of them fell down. And the children screamed like crazy beyond the roar of the people. The buildings seemed aguantanan, but the buildings were dying. I could not see and to those people. I kept floating in the air. He was willing to go higher.
Then everything seemed to be out, but I could see. I seemed to be up on Big Bear near San Bernardino, but the funny thing was that I could see on all sides. I knew what was happening in several places at once. The earth seemed to start shaking again. I could feel it even if it was up quite high. This time it lasted maybe twelve seconds, and was peaceful. You could not believe that anything so calm could cause much damage. But then I saw the streets of Los Angeles and everything in between the mountains of San Bernardino and several more sites. He leaned it toward the ocean, the houses, all were in those places. Could see major roads, dozens of major highways split into several pieces, even with small cars and all sorts in them all the cars began to collide with each other, and some fell and began to slide in the same direction as the earth .
Now the ocean was coming into land, and moved like a snake through the vast land. I wondered how much time had passed, and I could see the clock, but I was not there Boulevard at 4:29 am were the tarde.Había been only half an hour. I was happy because I could not hear more screams. But I could see everything. I could see everything. OTHER CITIES
Then I look at a huge map of the world, I could see what was happening in the land and people. In San Francisco he felt the earthquake, but not in that way, it was not like what Hollywood or Los Angeles. I came to see the failure of San Francisco, SAN ANDRES not fair but if near San Francisco. Everything was moving like a movie of earthquakes with Jeanette McDonald and Gable. I could see all that, the Sierra Nevada mountains and San Andres and San Francisco. I knew what
I was going to happen to San Francisco.Lo going to turn on the ground. Would turn upside down. Went quickly, because the landslide, I think. Appeared to be much faster than what was happening in Hollywood, but then I was not exactly the place. I saw more things in a long and far.
I closed my eyes for a long time, I think it was ten minutes and when I opened them I saw the Grand Canyon, which had been empty, and I saw Boulder Dam which was tossed from the bottom on the floor. And I saw then, Nevada, and also to Reno, moved all and to the south, similar to Baja California, Mexico also moved. I thought I saw to a volcano spewing smoke or syllable, there, along with everything else.
saw the map of South America, especially Colombia. Another volcano was erupting violently. Venezuela seemed to be having a period of volcanic activity. Far, far away, I could see Japan, también.No was easy to see, because I was still at Big Bear Mountain, but I could see Japan start to enter fully into the sea. I can not tell time, and did not see people because they resembled the puppets, seen from afar. I could not hear them scream, but could see the surprised look on their faces. They looked at the sea all saw asombrados.Los so far I could barely see. In a minute or two seemed to end everything. All disappeared. The sea did not leave anyone.
I did not know at what time or time was now. I could not see any clock. I tried to see the island of Hawaii. I finally look like waves in the sea ... immense tide beating against it. People in the wet streets, and ran all scared. But I did not see anyone to anyone swallowed by the sea. It looked like being passed around the globe. More flooding. Is it flooded the world? Constantinople. The Black Sea rose. The Suez Canal, for some reason seemed to be drying up. Sicily ... she has no escape. I could see everything as a map. Etna erupted. I did not know on what date was, but seemed to happen sooner or later.
I was not sure that time was now. Saw England ... Flooding, but no huge tidal waves. Water came from everywhere, but no one was killed by the sea. People were afraid and cried. Some of them fell into the streets on their knees and prayed for the salvation of the world. I did not know that the English were so emotional. Ireland, schools in Scotland, it was full and the churches prayed whole nights and days. People carried candles and cried all through California, Nevada, parts of Colorado, perhaps all, even Utah.
All were screaming and crying, much like he did not know anyone in Nevada, Utah, but wept as if they were blood relatives. As a family. As if all this happen to them also. NEW YORK entered my field of vision, but she was still MCL, there was nothing had happened, only there was more water level rose up. Here, things were different. People were running in the streets, shouting "is the end of the world." Children entered the restaurant and ate everything that was in sight. I saw a shoe store with all the shoes lying on the ground. Fifth Avenue, all running. Issued with a radio announcer in a few minutes, power might cut the broadcast. They thought that people had to control themselves.
Five girls were running like mad toward the YWCA, that place on Lexington or somewhere. They ran as if they were scared to death. BUT NOTHING HAPPENED IN NEW YORK. I saw an old woman picking up the garbage cans and filling them with water. Everyone seemed to be terrified of dying. Some people looked dazed as the streets seemed filled with speakers shouting loudly. It was not daylight. It was at night. Vi, and the next day the army had troops on the streets. The news gave speakers again about fuel tanks ruptured and areas shortage of oil. People seem to be looting markets.
Oregon, Washington, Dakota, Missouri, Minnesota, Canada ... everywhere the same or similar happened in New York.
saw many places that seemed safe, and people did not run away scared. Especially in rural areas. Here everything was almost as if nothing had happened. People went to these places some on foot, some in cars (that still had fuel.) I heard or somehow I knew that somewhere in the Atlantic land had risen. Much land. I got a terrible fatigue. I wanted to wake up, I wanted to see the girl to know where he was and these two niños.Entonces I found myself back in Hollywood and were still 4:29 am. Suddenly I was back on Hollywood.
could hear now. I could hear, somewhere, a station on the air telling people not to panic. They died on the streets. There were stations that were broadcasting even with all the bumps and temblores.Un man appeared in a picture of a monitor, was a little guy he must be scared. But he was not. Mantubo calm and spoke in screams and read a few instructions. Something about helicopters or any kind of aircraft, but I knew people like they could not leave or be afraid.
Things now succeeded in the atmosphere. The waves were now going through the atmosphere. Ondas.La ondea.Entonces nightmare, I saw again, Boulder Dam, going down ... land pushing, shoving and breaking boards. Empujabala the Grand Canyon and Boulder Dam was breaking apart. It was daylight.
All these stations went on the same time as the Boulder Dam when it was broken. I wondered how people would know what was happening in the East. That was when I saw the people of the monitors. I saw them in the oddest places, like we were there with them. As for the little guy with glasses on the monitor. They kept giving reports to the people. LLuegué to hear a radio broadcast say, "This is California. ENTAM sinking into the sea. This is California. We are sinking in the sea ... please contact to the high places. Go to the mountains. To the west. This is California. We are sinking in the sea ... " I could see everything. Everything happening inside, the sea came inland. I saw his hand still clinging to the table, he tried to get up again, then again to say: "This is California we are sinking into the sea. This is California we are sinking into the sea." I heard this over and over again, for what seemed like hours and again saying those same words. Those
kept doing his job until the last minute and giving instructions to the people: "Come to the Montañas.Esto is California.Entramos the sea." I woke up then. Did not seem as if he had been dreaming. I had never been so tired. Seemed to have spent a minute or two only, and for a moment I thought all this had really happened. I wondered about two things. I had not seen what happened to Fresno where my house and I had not figured out what happened to that girl.
I've been thinking about it all morning. Back home tomorrow. This was just a dream. It was nothing more.
No one in the future on Hollywood Boulevard will those stupid earrings and beards. None of this will happen. That girl seemed as real as those two children. Will not even be born yet and I hope to leave California when you have your twins and she is not on the Boulevard that day. She seemed so real!.
I can not get the head to one radio announcer saying over and over again the same thing: "This is California. We entered the sea. This is California. We entered the sea. Come to the mountains. Go to the summits. California , Nevada, Colorado, Arizona, Utah. This is California. We entered the sea. " Guess I'll keep hearing it in my head for a few days more. "
This vision was written by Joe Brandt, at the age of 17 years old, recovering from a concussion at the Hospital of Fresno, California, in 1937.
