Odd dream

So, I'm at this house somewhere upstate (yet still near the coast) with a coworker. We're looking out at the river that runs right past the porch when we see a large sea serpent of some sort swimming by -- the kind of thing that looks just real enough that it looks like good cgi. So, naturally, I call the local news station to tell them what's up. As I'm talking to the reporter on the phone, the IT guy from my office (not the previously mentioned coworker) is playing with the phone (a yellow old-push button type with the curly cord) and accidentally hangs up. The reporter immediately calls me back and is clearly concerned that I might think that she hung up on me, but clearly she's very interested in my story, so I continue, but as I'm describing what I saw, I'm still looking out into the river and notice hundreds and hundreds of other fish and river-dwelling creatures all following the same downstream course that the sea serpent was taking. I relay this to the reporter saying that it's as if they know something and are fleeing. She is clearly concerned about this.

Unfortunately there's some grey area at this point, all I remember here is that at some point the screen porch detached itself from the house and started moving towards the river and we somehow ended up in another identical house next door, standing on its screen porch, which was on the second floor (of both houses).

So we're back on the screen porch, this time in house #2 and the river is drying up. There may be a few dead fish in the river bed, but mostly it's just dry. Then the storm hits. It's some sort of large cartoonish wind storm, but it's not particularly frightening, even though swirling around inside the twister are lots and lots of people. Looking closely at the people (still alive, as far as I can tell), I notice one or two who seem to be wearing powdered white wigs circa 18th century, though most are dressed in a more contemporary manner. At this point it somehow becomes obvious to me that all of the people swirling around in the storm are British and probably more specifically English. I scan the storm to see if people I know are in there, specifically to see if people I know who are Americans but children of Brits are included, but it seems to be exclusively ex-pats.

So, that's it. The serpent clearly comes from having watched a few minutes of something on Discovery about the "American Loch Ness Monster" from Lake Champlain ("Champ"), but I'm not so sure about the rest. I'm writing this a full 14 hours after I woke up from it and that's really unusual for me to have the vivid details stick with me that long, so it's obviously some sort of divine prophesy.

But I'm just the messenger.
