I dreamed there were upper floors above my house (which don't exist in real life) and that I was exploring them and finding all kinds of horrible tacky 1960s-70s junk left by the previous owners (who moved out 10 years ago). Our house is actually a rambler, but I dreamed it was a high-rise.

In my dream the building began swaying, just a little at first, and then began to slowly collapse. My family and I got out safely, and so did other residents on upper floors. But I can't recall why it was shaking or what happened next, only that the place was surrounded by emergency vehicles.

Later on, in http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=245&topic_id=81366&mesg_id=81377">UndergroundPanther's synchronicity thread she posited that her dream may have been related to a nearby earthquake

I did some looking-up and found that people reported feeling it in Gaithersburg and Mt. Airy, MD. We live right outside Gaithersburg, so I probably did feel the quake when I dreamed about the tower collapsing. It amazes me how our unconscious minds can create a dream-story to account for some phenomenon that happens while we sleep.
