[Just my opinion]
Similar to Scribe's explanation, I too believe that this may be some kind of warning.
At this point, there's no need to bring the woo-woo into it with psychic messages of cautionary advice from beyond the pale,
the majority of humans carry such a device onboard and it's a belter...! a great alarm system that doesn't need batteries or
jack-power access for a cable.
Your subconscious.
This guy who sits in the back of your mind never sleeps. It doesn't miss a trick and it doesn't give a shit about morality or
social constructs like fair-play. In fact, this wee-small voice that we rarely listen to, doesn't even speak the same language
as the alleged owner it resides with!
But to have such a strange companion to your life, there must be a forum or middle-ground where you as a socially interactive
animal and higher-thinking being, can meet and exchange reasoning for existing in this manner.
In my humble opinion, that counselling area is sleep.
You -the person who steers their individuality in an ocean of other like-minded and opposing others, acquires the skills to
continue and hopefully, propagate one's own lineage that will build on the mental and physical tactics learned from those
who came before.
There's nuances and the obvious to be decoded in the particular community one exists in and it's always an advantage to
learn about other worlds in order to prepare for any encounter and to seek opportunities to advance oneself and protect
what that individual holds dear.
(By the way, when I typed 'There's nuances and the obvious to be decoded', I typed 'me' instead of 'be'... was that the
subconscious listening in and telling me to get on with it?!)
The subconscious doesn't sully itself in such false realities, it just deals with input. It collects and retains information that
selfishly benefits it's continuation as a living creature. It sees, hears, tastes, touches everything it comes in contact with
and retains the information for any future use to benefit it's existence.
But along with that accumulation of simple, complex, asinine, serious information, comes rational planning and postulation.
To out-wit danger and seek advancement, the subconcious runs contingency plans based on the available data.
It schemes, muses and deduces ways of protecting the physical and ergo, preserves itself and 'host'.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not suggesting the subconscious is a separate mental entity -as such, it's just that it's evolutionary
system that works in an environment unburdened with the general baggage we all -as social animals, deal with everyday.
One might say that such deliberations over the pros-and-cons of every possible scenario must surely be a waste of time
and out here in the world you think you're kind-of in control of, that would be a decent suggestion.
But let's say there's an idling truck parked on the layby of a road and you glance at it as you pass by going in the opposite
direction in your car, what possible effects can it have on your safety?
Your subconscious will run the numbers on the possible viable and inanely stupid possibilities of how that vehicle could have
a positive and a negative effect on you.
It doesn't bullshit itself about time-wasting and it doesn't feel embarrassment when conjuring potentiality of danger or benefit.
Think Rainman with a big freakin' attitude!
It's like the evidence that males are more aggressive than females, evolution evaluated that a physically-weak male will tend
to be childless due to a mate seeking a better chance of safety with a physically-stronger male.
Any offspring produced from the cogitative-reasoning female and the physically-strong male have a better platform to function
in a safer environment created by the pair, it's just the best evaluated projected outcome based on provable facts.
But we as an individual cannot function in such a robotic, unfeeling manner, the perilous and subtle variables that confront
us everyday would grind to a halt if we perceived our multi-diverse environment in such a black-and-white tone.
So we have our subconscious do that for us with it's buried no-nonsense appraisals being diluted with our psychological sieve
only using parts of the advice it offers.
But at night when we sleep, that mesh... that constructed barrier is weaker and that's when Mr. Subconscious comes a-calling!
The vital self-protecting information that it has can only be dislayed in the language that the fawning, bullying, kindly, cruel,
appreciative consciousness can understand, so it's offered as images that represent proposed ideas of assisting continuance.
Water in the real world may mean something entirely different to the unfeeling, selfish subconscious , but the lateral perception
we hold when we're out-and-about in that real world can possibly decode the set of mental images we call 'dreams' and interpret
into something we might be able to use for our advancement.
In regards of DFC's dream, it could be business concerns at where he works and his deliberations of the car dealership.
Deep within his mind, he may disapprove of ideas on improving the company and evaluating the limited information he has
gathered, foresee the possibility of redundancies or salary-changes.
The destruction is happening above him, a possible metaphor that decisions that may effect DFC are taking place in the
higher echelon of management. DFC is aware that in the second collision, the wings merely clipped each other as if an attempt
at avoidance was taking place. I'd suggest DFC's subconscious was displaying this scene as the gathered facts cannot determine
a 'guaranteed' outcome and decisions out of his hands 'may' take place that effect him.
The problems in struggling to assist by using the telephone and the inability to understand 'Sandra' could be the doubt he
subconsciously feels because the rational belief that other more-pertinant facts have not been acquired and with all respect
to DuckForCover, could be a visual display of 'should I care...? Is this my personal problem?'
The reflected image of the crashing plane as he fled towards the safety of the car-dealership business (accepting the 'big-ness'
that all will be okay?)... could be an awareness of a possible outcome, but the unwillingness to deal with a notion that may or
may not happen.
Still being able to see it as a reflection may be a way of patting oneself on the back to support the confidence that at least,
it could happen and you're aware of it.
The propane tank could be a victimless target that may be interpreted as DFC's view of a lot of talk, a big effect and...
well, we'll never know DFC's subconscious opinion of the outcome due to his waking. But he did witness the three planes
crashing and that may mean his subconscious is telling him any problem it's mentally perceived has been contemplated on
as an 'on-looker'... a viewing participant that could be effected and that position would only change if he interacted in the
event.
I'd be intrigued though, if you can recall what you believed the language 'Sandra' was speaking in, DFC!
