What The Desert Hides

This is a very old, very tiny and vague dream fragment. I'm not even sure if it's from a dream but I can't think of what else it would be from.

Pretty much it's just an image of the sand of some desert blowing in the wind, and covering something up. It looked like a sand dune rippled by the wind, and the sun was setting so it was all in orange and shadow; all I remember is the wind picking up and blowing on the sand so it began to pile up over something. I think it might have been the head of a wooden walking stick. I think of one of the "Mystics" characters from The Dark Crystal, an old favorite movie of mine, so maybe it was the Mystic's walking stick? All I know for sure is that the sand was rapidly piling around it and hiding it from sight.

This wasn't exactly a nightmare per se, but watching this happen--I seemed to be just an observer--made me feel anxious and uneasy. I didn't like the thought of something being hidden under all that sand. I don't think I was so much afraid of what was hidden as of why it was hidden; maybe I felt sorry for it being buried like that. *shrug*

For some reason I often think of this dream in conjunction with "Blood On The Piano Keys," so perhaps they are related somehow.
