Dream: fire and water...

i was in Hollywood. the sky looked a bit ominous like a storm was approaching. a co-worker decided he was leaving early because he was traveling east and the weather would probably make traffic terrible. we were standing outside and i could feel drops of water on my skin. i decided i should leave early too since I was cycling and didnt want to get caught in the rain. in my heart, something told me I should stay. we both started to leave and lightning stuck probably 20 feet in front of us. now, i say it was lighting b/c we treated the occurrence like it was lightning, but it looked like little fireballs hailing from the sky. when we both saw it, we simultaneously decided to go back to work to take cover. as we turned around to go back, there were more fireballs hailing from the sky. there was this strange tension of chaos in the air that made me panic. one fireball struck me at the top of my head and I could feel it burning. i was getting rained on as well. i put the fire on my head out with my hands. there was also water pouring from the shops on the street. It was gushing as if something was pouring water into the buildings. a building I was standing next to gushed out water and almost pushed me into the street. it didn't make sense and I thought all the buildings were about to be moved by a huge wall of water. i braced myself, i didn't know what to expect. i was in shock about the events going on because logically they didnt make sense. there was also a huge pull that wouldn't let us run back in the building as quickly as we wanted to. by that time, i was in serious shock and screaming, "what am i supposed to do!?!'' people inside the building were looking at me, none offering assistance. I guess the "storm" ended and my co-worked snatched me and pulled me inside.
inside was a weird twilight zone of people. although it had just been hailing balls of fire, they looked like it had only been sprinkling outside. they didn't care about what had just happened. because of their "dumbing down" of the situation, i felt silly about my strong emotional outburst. i kept talking to the guy i experienced it with and as i discussed it....he too was feeling nonchalant about the events. i was even more embarrassed about my display of emotion.
after a while, i looked out the window...everything looked peaceful in the most beautiful way. something seemed renewed. there were gorgeous green hills and the sun was breaking through the clouds. i was still afraid to go outside. then i woke up....
note: i say hollywood but only because of the context of the dream. despite the fact that it was hollywood, none of the physical surroundings were familiar to me as I review the dream. after the storm it definitely didnt feel like hollywood. the way the sky and hills looked after the storm actually reminded me of a particular place in Switzerland...very lovely.
