I live in Southern California, land of earthquakes, and scientists are saying that "The Big One" is due any time now. It terrifies me. But anyway, in the dream, there had been little tremors all day, and they were getting bigger, and everyone pretty much knew that The Big One was coming soon. So I was trying to enjoy my time with Al despite the impending doom, and stay close to him so that when the earthquake hit, I could try to protect him. (That's me - 5'3" and underweight but still wants to protect everyone)

Eventually, the earthquake did come and although it was really dramatic (the ground splitting open and things falling everywhere) I can't really remember what happened. My grandma was there and she was in on Operation Protect Al, so she kept ushering us to sheltered places and stuff - she seemed to be immune to the earthquake. All turned out fine, I assume, because I saw Al in a later dream.
