We drive past the Saturday night crowds sitting by the road, pull into a parking lot and I walk to the Citibank ATM. Someone had dropped their withdrawal receipt and I step over it. We walk back to the club and I leave my vintage brown snakeskin clutch with a girlfriend. We continue combing the crowds, like how we sometimes do the once-over when our Friday date with Velvet gets dull. Suddenly the moon splits into 5, as if it'd been put through a mandoline. Giant balls of flames fall from the sky, the skyline turns an eerie orange, like a row of Balinese torches lighting up a garden path. People are running into an obsolete public swimming pool, but all the gates there are locked. I tell her I need to go back to get my bag. She says screw the bag. We run past panicky clusters of bikini-clad girls and burning buildings. We get into an old red pick-up truck, and drive to a sorry-looking budget hotel. We watch the apocalypse unfold from the window upstairs, beat, but in some perversed kind of awe. The silvery moons are aligned across the titian-red sky, and the sun, an imposing red sphere of glowing anger, takes centre-stage. The morning comes and I walk back to get my bag. I don't remember where I'd left it, but I make my way through the desolate streets and back to the ATM. The receipt is still there. I turn around instinctively, and look into the drain at the street corner. 'She knew I'd come back for it.'

The analysis:
buildings - should the buildings be dilapidated and in ruins then this will show that you (will) have business or love problems with the likelihood of loss very high
automobile - vehicles that you ride in usually reflect two things; the direction you are heading in life, and your body. (the thing you travel or "ride" through life in)
armageddon - to dream about armageddon is usually a deep-rooted fear that your world is about to change dramatically. By "your world" I am referring to everything around you, your job, your family etc. in prophetic dreams armageddon predicts a dramatic change in one's life, possibly the death of someone close or in some cases, of the dreamer himself (but this is extremely rare)
moon - if the moon is peculiar or weird then you will meet with many disappointments and a cheating spouse
silver - silver represents justice and purity. It is symbolic of some protective energy
red - red is an indication of raw energy, force, vigor, intense passion, aggression, power, courage and passion. The color red has deep emotional and spiritual connotations. Red is also the color of danger, shame, sexual impulses and urges. Perhaps you need to stop and think about your actions
sun - To see the sun in your dream, symbolizes peace of mind, enlightenment, tranquility, fortune, goodwill, and insight. It also represents radiant energy. It is a good omen to have the sun shining in your dream
gate - to see a closed gate in your dream, signifies your inability to overcome current difficulties. If you are unable to open the gate, then it indicates that your hard work will be seen as unsatisfactory. It may also mean that you are not ready or not prepared to move on to the next step
