Description
I was in my old room in my parents' house, which has a good view of the surrounding area. From there, I saw a great humanoid "cloud creature" on the eastern horizon, with its legs hidden behind the hills and forest in that direction. Its features weren't quite as indistinct as you'd expect from a cloud (though its features were not as complex as those of humans), and it got a lot of detail through different shades of gray. For instance, its eyes looked like some sort of short cylinders bulging out - like goggles. It walked and looked around, sometimes disappearing from my view, and it had the air of a vast, uncaring titan which did not worry what it crushed below its feet, though the possible devastation was never visible. At one point, it split into a number of fast-moving tubular shapes, which reconfigured into three smaller, though still gigantic figures - one male, one female, and one indistinct crippled one with a missing leg.
Dusk was approaching, and it became harder and harder to see it in the darkness. I spotted its head once, when I ventured outside the house - it was illuminated by what appeared to be an Indian-themed amusement park (recognizable by its distinct spires) which was either located on a high hill that hadn't been there before, or else it was floating in the air. Thus, the cloud creature was still out there, walking and watching.
It wasn't walking towards me - it always stayed on the horizon. But yes, it did seem fairly threatening.

Was the humanoid walking toward you…or simply headed in an arbitrary direction? Did you feel threatened or awed by the being?
