There have been a lot of natural disasters in the past few years, but the past month or so has been horrible!  I think perhaps this dream is probably a mix of a lot of memories of diasters, but it has "carried you back" to the age you were on September 11, 2001.  

That may well be the first huge catastrophe you were really aware of, and we all felt terribly threatened.  I can't imagine how it would have felt to experience this as a child.   You must have felt extremely vulnerable.  As an adult, my feeling was "Life will never be the same again."  

To a young child, 100 is a huge number.   Bigger numbers were barely comprehensible to you, so in your mind, you "capped" the number at 100.   But the sense of infinity the ocean gives, and the countless grains of sand also reflect the hugeness of such an event, and even more so in the tsunamis, floods, hurricanes and windstorms you've probably been aware of in the years that followed 9/11.

You remember this day (and the days that follow) as a series of endless videos and film clips Did you beg your parents to turn off the T.V?  My son, who is now 17, begged us to turn it off and to stop talking about it.  He just couldn't take it.  He needed to turn his mind away from it, to have some peace of mind.

What was in like being in school the day that happened and the day after?  Did they tell you at school?  Did you run to meet your Mom like you were escaping from disaster?

Did you already know these other friends in the dream on 9/11, or have you been discussing it recently with them?

While this happened in New York, in a limited place, the impact of this was felt around the world.  All of us  felt we were the victims and the target.

So, while this is sort of a "tossed salad" dream of various disasters, it comes from the heart of the child you were on 9/11/2001.
