Crazy story - crazy dream

This dream I had last night was so vivid I was sure it was real. Have to pen it down. Think it can be a great screenplay:p of course as in the case of dreams ... Some details are dubious! 

Setting: Beach holiday. Marissa Janz's double story beach apartment. Wooden structure. Four bedrooms on second floor. Toilets in middle if the room fairly near the bed! Quite open only three short walls around the cubicle. 

Ashwin akshaya my mum and some others in one room on the right. My dad is sleeping in one of the rooms on the left. I need to use the bathroom - cant use the one my kids and mum are in- all awake! Mid day see. So try the one with my dad. As I'm about to go my dad wakes up and suggest I use the other one in another room. More privacy! Ah ok. So I go. Then there's  this crazy rumbling sound. Dad and marissa end up in the third room with me. Saro is either with me or my mum. I think with mum.  I continue using the loo. We look around. There's water all around the house- not inside though! And thru the windows we see these strange looking large fish- they look like sharks but their heads are more rounded than pointed. And in addition to find they have crazy lobster like claws sticking out of their bodies. They just lazily and creepily swim past our windows. 

Dad says to marisssa - scary aren't they?-  And she says- scary? Yes quite.-  All quite surreal. I'm still on the pot trying to speed up! Then another humongous roar and whole house feels like its lurching forward. black weeds and debris float past the house. 

I'm getting very worried. I pull up my pants and want to go over to the children's room to check on them when another almighty roar hits us and sends the house rocking and debris rushes past the windows again. I'm convinced it's a tsunami except that instead of sea water rushing towards us you get the feeling water around us is rushing back to the sea. My eyes are closed. When I open them I look out in disbelief. Whole trees have been uprooted leaving only bald short stumps - you can see the trees have been viciously torn away by the force. I'm thinking. Now way can our wooden rickety hut be standing while trees are uprooted and then true enough - I look up and there's no roof above our head! Our entire two story hut has been ripped away! I'm miraculously standing on the ground - shaken but dry. A quick glance behind me shows my dad and marissa safe and a glance across shows my mum and kids safe! I run across and pick up my son, hugging him close. My mum consoles me - not to worry about all our things which are lost! 

I say of course! Sho cares about things my most precious things are all safe here- kids and family. Then we look behind us. And there's a clear ruthless path of destruction - just along the line of our  hut! All other huts are standing up fine! But our path- the path our hut was in- is a picture of utter devastation. Black treeless debris for as long as the eyes can see. 

It's called the leather back effect apparently. Water from the sea sweeps outwards Ina channel and is swept back inwards into the sea through a channel with such destructive force nothing survives. Except us! 

We walk clear of this path and on see an orange playground nearby. I ask ashwin if he wants to play while I look back at the path in fear and doubt. He and akshaya play. My mum says how nice. I'm thinking thank god I got my pants up again before the house took off! 

Weird huh?
