Volcano Destroys Japan

Prophetic Dream

Joel Akin

We are on this field next to a rocky beach and ocean. There are a few trees on the field and a cement beach house. Probably bathrooms or other functions. I can't tell. If you are facing the ocean the cement structures are to the left or west and down the coast on the right is sand, rocks and trees until they finally curve far to the right miles away. There is also a large island which you can barely see. I figure about 70 miles away. Also to my right but on the edge of the field is what appears to be a baseball field. And behind us, across the main road are several houses and a mountain. The main road, with your back to the ocean, goes towards a hill(east) and disappears on the other side, rocky outcroppings and trees on both sides. Going west it seems to travel along the ocean though its hard to tell.

It is a beautiful day, sunny, clear, with few if any clouds in the blue sky. It seems to be summer time. The funny thing is I don't know why we were in the park so lets just say a group of us were walking along the beach when there was a sudden thunder like rumble.

We looked towards where the island was and even from this distance could tell that there had been a huge explosion. Again there was a rumble and another explosion took place. It was a volcano. I turned to one of my companions and said, "Mom and dad are visiting there..." And to myself, "They were supposed to leave sometime today but did they?"

The island was Japan. We all stood in stunned disbelief and watched as huge explosions wracked the distant island until it was covered in a shroud of darkness.

All of us turned away to walk up the slight rise to the field and when we again looked towards the distant island what happened next did not make any sense. Since it was my dream I'll try to explain. I saw a blinking light and for a weird second thought it was the volcano exploding. But where the island stood a new land appeared. But it wasn't barren but covered with lush trees and hillsides. It made no sense to any of us.

But it so freaked everyone out that we rushed onto the field. As were headed towards the road and the middle of the field something unexplainable happened. I can't remember what happened next. Was there a flash of light? An earthquake? Or just a reaction to gravity changing. Somehow I was able to anchor myself to the ground and was able to hang on to my friend but others including a young boy began to float several feet above the ground. The lack of gravity didn't last long, only a few seconds but I remember it seemed to last forever cause I sat there clinging desperately to the turf and sand. Somehow I was not affected as much as everyone else and I couldn't explain why.

All of us latched on to this theory by someone in the group(maybe me?) that a mighty asteroid had hit the far side of the earth causing the volcano to go off and causing the gravity to be disrupted. But the next event must be a giant tidal wave. We all began climbing the mountain as there was a steep trail up the center of it..
