African Surreal-ness

This night I dreamt of someone coming into the English institute asking for help on his research on the etymology of the name "Cthulhu", and how they would have pronounced it in Middle English.
(Don't ask me. I have NO idea. I don't even want to know what it means.)

Then I wake up and there's a veldfire outside (far enough away, no danger for us, don't panic): The sky's dark with smoke, it's raining soot and ash (but sloooowly, not the way it does in Pompeii documentaries), and the sun, shining through the clouds/smoke, is a bloody red. It looks like the Eye of Sauron, or something.
