I dreamt of clouds last

I dreamt of clouds last night.

I dreamt I was sitting in a field, alone, thinking about everything and nothing, watching the clouds go by over my head. Then suddenly the clouds turned gray, then an ugly black, and thunder made me jump and it started raining, a horrible storm. The rain was so hard that I was quickly soaked through, but I had nowhere to go, so I did not move.
And then, though it was still raining, the rain stopped hitting me. I looked up, and saw a large rainbowy umbrella over me, and the friend who was holding the umbrella sat down next to me, smiled at me and hugged me, and even if I was cold and soaked in rain it didn't matter to him. And the storm and the black clouds didn't look so ugly and horrible anymore now that I was warm and safe.
The storm quickly cleared, with one last distant roll of thunder. The umbrella disappeared, and we sat there together, side by side, watching the clouds go by.
