Disturbing Dream

Here's a question. Why did I have this weird-ass and all around disturbing dream? This is what happened.

In the dream, virus breaks out. I get the virus. I see my own arm in the dream. Its covered in large different shaped pink spots with red spots in the middle. Red spot is where my skin has completely deteriorated and is dissolving. At this point I know this is also happening to my insides, not just my skin. I don't know how I know. I just know. Then I decide to go outside to see whats going on. Moonlit streets are deserted. I try to enter a building. The doors are locked. Then I notice on the front door of this building is a royal blue sign, with white lettering. At the very top of this flyer is a yellow logo of a sun setting with clouds. On the sign it says "Property closed: contamination zone". In my dream I think "why are these signs not red or bright orange?" Usually anything alerting people are red or orange especially if there is danger. Then I realize these signs are on every door of every building. They didn't want people to panic. Hence the blue signs. Blue is a calming color....

The dream jumps back to me at my house. I'm still all spotted as I catch a final news broadcast on the TV. They say they now believe where the virus came from. It came from deep within the jungle of the Congo. On the screen is a picture of Africa, with a red dot, right in the center of the dark green area representing the jungle. There is a picture of a leopard next to the dot. They have now decided to deem this the leopard virus. Not because it came from leopards but because of the asymmetrical spots it forms on your skin when you get it. Dream ends. However my unease does not.

That very morning, only two hours after I woke up from this dream, I turn on CNN. First picture I see is of a volcano erupting. Turns out this is the first time this volcano has erupted like this for hundreds of years. Here's the shitter. The volcano was in Africa near the Congo. Oh yeah, and tons of tourist from out of the county who would otherwise never travel to Africa were in fact doing so just to see this once in a lifetime eruption. All I said was DAMMMNNN...and turned the TV off.
