A few years later, Eric had another dream where he was walking with somebody he knew, but he never actually saw the person in the dream. They were walking side by side on the bike trail behind the Fillmore County Fairgrounds. They were walking toward Preston and the trailhead. Glancing to his right up the bluff, Eric was immediately aware of the entire valley having recently been flooded by a raging torrent of water. He saw mud and broken branches and debris high up in the trees, all the way to the top of the bluffs. It was clear the flood had filled the valley all the way to the top. The person with Eric in the dream stated the flood had come from down river.

In an instant they were walking west on Fillmore Street toward the heart of downtown Preston. As they walked within a block of the Courthouse, Eric saw the flood water had still surrounded the Courthouse square, right up to the edge of the Courthouse parking lot, though it had receded everywhere else. Filling the Courthouse parking lot were many twisted-looking, nocturnal creatures that had been flushed out of underground hiding spots and into the sunshine by the flood. The creatures were trapped right outside of the main Courthouse doors, and the creatures knew it. They were scurrying around in a panic, seeking to escape. It was clear they knew judgment had come, and the dark places that had hid them for so long had been utterly destroyed. This was a sign to Eric that a change was coming to Preston, and
