Sacred Waters and Fear of Falling

I was sitting at a restraunt table with a bunch of people I barely knew.  On the table was a crystal ball with an ashtray on top.  I asked the woman sitting next to me what it was, but she wouldn't tell me.  I realized that the whole table was in a cart speeding around the curves on a two lane mountain highway with a drop to the sea on one side.  We were going to a very sacred and mysterious natural place.  A place with water, and waterfalls and rocks.  It had a mystical almost magical quality to it.  The driver was letting dogs loose from the front of our vehicle and I realized that we were being pulled by 8 dogs.  They knew the way to the water place though, and their knowledge was critical to our arriving.  Some of the people riding with us were going to make a video at some water fall, but I specifically didn't feel included in their plans.  When we arrived I jumped of our vehicle and knowing I had to pee moved away from the group.  There was an enormous bridge over head, and walked under the support beans to a concrete pillar where I climbed up on a pylon to pee in privacy.  I could see a large strip of the sacred place.  The water was very clean.  To my right was a place where huge boulders formed a natural swimming hole and kids played in the water.  In front of me there was a small lake.  As I peed I felt that i was swinging over the lake which I attributed to magnetic anomalies at this sacred place.  The swinging feeling became more pronounced and I realized that I was actually swinging high above the lake and if I didn't hold on I would fall hundreds of feet.  I pressed my right foot into a small ledge.  My neck and upper back I could press into a 2 foot ledge above me and then I could reach up and around to grab on to some flat polished screws.  I barely had a grip.  I realized that we were moving now through the city and that the structure I was clinging to was attached to a city bus.  Hundreds of feet below me was concrete and people.  No one could see me no one knew I was slipping.  I saw a bald man walking and yelled down to him.  He saw me and was excited not realizing that I was slipping.  After 2 stops I was able to communicate to him that I was in danger and he told the driver to stop the bus.  The fire department came and lifted a ladder up to me.  There was a fireman on the ladder, but for liability he told me to grab the ladder and hold on my self which I was happy to do.
