NEVER THE SAME AGAIN

In this dream, I saw a poster for a new documentary. It had apparently just come out. It was about global heating and environmental destruction and had a name to the effect of "Never the Same Again," with a tagline saying that we will never return to the earth as we knew it. The poster had an image of two women at a beach with a bunch of blue bottles around them, as if it were a pool of water. I assumed it represented garbage in the ocean. The beach was full of shells. I looked into this documentary, but was having trouble understanding what exactly it was about. Apparently it was talking about a new environmental problem that hadn't been studied very well.

I started watching the documentary at this point. It opened with a bunch of seashells on the wall of a well-decorated home. Apparently it was making a point about ocean acidification and the destruction of shelled animals, saying how shells may not be as abundant in the future. But then it turned into a woman giving a narration about her experience in Hawaii. She had visited Hawaii and got off the plane. Immediately she went into some park with a palm tree and saw two gigantic spiders, each about the size of a small dog. They were bright blue and looked almost like crustaceans, with spiky hairs. They were very aggressive and poisonous and started chasing her. However, there had apparently been a freak snowstorm in Hawaii and the ground was covered in snow. Then there was a freak rainfall and the ground froze, including the two spiders being trapped in ice.

The woman then met up with her friend and the two met an old kanaka maoli. He was a big fat dude with a jovial attitude, speaking his mind about everything. He narrated how a bunch of tourists had gone to the top of a volcano when it was spewing lava. We saw a clip of his experience. He thought they were all idiots, putting themselves in danger. Of course he was there too, but apparently he was a native so he knew what he was doing. A bunch of them clamored around the small opening of the volcano, where it seemed like all the rocks around it were crumbling and slipping inward, as if they were melting or something. A bunch of tourists were standing around, trying to stay afoot. Two of them fell straight into the lava and burned up in a second. The old Hawaiian laughed at their foolishness and said he wished more would fall in.

At this point the movie sort of morphed into a bunch of signs of the world going crazy and strange, inexplicable phenomena, narrated by this woman. She was touring the world on a giant inflatable raft of sorts. I only remember the final one after the two in Hawaii. She ended up hitching this raft in what was her hometown of Juneau, Alaska. She got off and started walking down this street which was dark, empty, and cold. She moved in the direction of a big mountain with a snowy peak. At this point the documentary shifted to first-person and it was more like I was playing a video game. I walked across the town, through a park with a bunch of rocks next to a river. It seemed as though it was the beginning of winter, where there still wasn't any snow on the ground but all the vegetation was withering and things were getting very chilly. I passed a sort of processing plant emitting a lot of smoke, sneering at it for polluting the air quality. Finally I walked all the way up the mountain, where there was snow cover. At the top of the mountain there was a radar station in the snow. Over the edge of the mountain, a small being poked its head up and then ran away. It looked like a sort of gray alien, but with long, furry arms. It was kind of like a gray combined with one of those Japanese snow monkeys. It was white, so it blended in with the snow. I chased after it and caught it. I took it back to the main part of town. It seemed lost and confused.
