[There was dream before this scene.]
Side Perspective
After walking around a Chinese trinket shop set up almost like a maze on a terraced muddy hillside, I decide to wait down at the foot of the store/hill. Remembering the scene, it looks like several places I have seen before including the strip mine site on the mountain in Middlesboro where I used to go 4-wheeling and the trailer park I used to live in. Looking up at the "shop," everything is dirty/mud, no grass. There might be some sparse trees off to the left. Above is a sky, and I feel like it was a nice robin's egg blue. To my back is a little grove of trees, and I am leaning against a hill that has grass on it (though not abundantly).
A group of people (two, maybe three) walk up to me, who I believe were all women. The one who spoke to me reminded me of Katie Wilder from high school. She (they) told me I needed to be careful (get inside, I guess?) because a very serious storm was coming. They lean up against the same dirt-grass hill and look out towards the shop (perspective, however, is towards our faces). They (or she?) keep talking and talking and talking about this storm and rain.
First-Person Perspective
I get nervous and start staring up at the sky. There is a huge cumulonimbus incus drifting across the sky all by itself very quickly. It's very grey and foreboding, and in a moment of seconds it has passed from the very right-hand side of my vision to the left.
As I stare at it though, it begins to turn into a teddy bear. It takes on a greenish hue, big black (or was it blue?) eyes, and a red tongue that sticks out in a curl. I try to get Katie's attention, but it doesn't work and I just get more desperate and more serious. "Do you see this thunderhead? Seriously, look at this! Have you see this, it looks like a teddy bear? There's a teddy bear in the sky! SERIOUSLY, I'm not joking here, LOOK at this CLOUD!"
By the time everyone turns around to look at the cloud, the "teddy bear" has kind of distorted and faded away. I feel like they've completely missed the point.
[And then I wake up.]
