Strange Dreams (2)

[K.J.]

Since this was always an entertaining thread last time... What HAS your subconscious served up now?

------------------------------------

Apparently, my brain thinks it's been too long since I played GW, because that was definately what happened in Dreamland last night. In the usual manner of my dreams, though, I wasn't myself, but a character... in the adventure... The only way I knew I was still, on some level, playing a game, were the little sword graphics that popped up when I looked at an enemy.

It was also pretty clearly Nightfall. Towards the end, I remember having to sneak onto a lift (breaking into this huge slave compound/Colosseum place) and not being able to get off safely. One character, who reminded me a lot of Tahlkora, had been here before, and escaped, and become someone powerful enough (or at least well-connected enough) that the bad guys didn't exactly mistreat us... We were somewhere between POW and Honored Guest status, but since they knew we were there, we couldn't do what we needed, which was rescue her brother (a slave who had never escaped.)

The thing was... things were bad there. Really bad. I won't plague you with the details because of the rating of this board, but it was a pretty grim place... and when we finally found her brother, I'm pretty sure he would have rather we killed him than try and fail to get him free. I woke up remembering a grown, powerful man crying with anger and humiliation.

And this is not especially unusual for my dreams. They get intense.

Soooooooo. Anyone got one better?

I had a dream that I met the Naked Cowboy in New York. His name was Jason, and he moved to Houston a year after I met him.
Mind you, this was while I was still on the pain meds...

[Almonihah]

I don't dream.

Or at least, if I do, I don't remember them ever. So nope.

I keep having weird dreams, but there are two that I had recently that stand out.

The first one was a recurring one about tornadoes, except this one had a twist. Normally, I just dream that there is a series of tornadoes hitting my hometown and I can watch them from my window because they miraculously avoid my place.

Not this time, though.

In this version, KJ, Jenna, and I were all studying at the same college. KJ and I shared a room in a dorm together (which looked a lot like the building where the dorms are at my school, which we affectionately call the Toaster, except the one in my dream had glass elevators and marble floors for some reason), and Jenna was in another dorm across the parking lot.

Them, in the middle of the night, there is a tornado alert. Instead of acting like mature, intelligent geeks like we should, KJ and I decided that we'd take the elevator instead of running down the stairs to get into the shelter in the basement. No, I have no idea why the elevators were even working in a state of emergency, don't ask. Anyway, so ofcourse, a tornado actually hit the building I'm in for a change, and KJ and I, who are still trapped in the glass elevator, get blown away.

The elevator falls into a river (which looks strangely like the St-Francis river here), and apparently, neither she nor I can swim in 4 feet of strangely calm water. We are rescued by my Bishie Squad (ie. Kalle, Ludwig, and Uli, as well as an unnamed cousin of Kalle and Ludwig that didn't exist at that time but whom I've decided to make official a few days ago). Oddly enough, the building where Jenna's dorm is was not damaged by the tornado. I guess KJ and I didn't get our room in the right building.

The second odd dream involved Horse furries, which made me feel dirty even though there was nothing naughty happening. I just hate furries that much, I guess. Anyway. For some reason, in my dream, if you were a purebred horse and you were white, it was okay for all the other horses to discriminate you and treat you as their slaves. But if you were white horse but was crossbred, it was awwwright. I don't get it.

I was probably watching the tornado from a window and taking massive amounts of pictures...not that I've done that before......nope nuh-uh.

Um, I dreamed that I married Vincent Valentine. ^^; And this was before I got my hands on Dirge of Cerberus.

Oh, and another time I dreamed I was the niece of this conniving Count who was gonna take over the world, and was trying to turn me into his pawn by feeding me all these sweets. But I didn't really wanna eat them (there was far too much whipped cream on them), so I got my maid Angela to go and help my sister Jessica, my cousin Leanna, and Kanda (from the anime D.Gray-Man, who apparently was my guardian) get out of the rooms the Count was keeping them in, and pretended to be sick so my uncle would give me lentil soup. Using the soup to regain my strength, I busted out of his place, stealing back my car so we could get going. Angela valiantly stayed behind.

Then we were driving along, and I just knew he had sent people after us, so I turned off the road in order to hide. But this activated a secret entrance, and the car was pulled underground. Turns out there's a rebel movement intent on stopping the Count and it's headed by Rufus Shinra! Well, my character self didn't know that, but my narrator self did. And after that, I woke up.

But that's what I normally do in my tornado dreams. WHY DID YOU STEAL MY JOB!?

Oh, wait, so KJ and I could be rescued by the Hotty Highwind Brigade. Thanks Jenna! <3

Not fair!
But hey, if I had my camera, I was probably filming the rescue!

I dreamed that I missed a plane ride and that plane crashed into the ocean. That's what I get for watching the news, and one reason why I try not to watch the news.
But I kept redreaming it over and over with different scenarios. It was kind of strange.
See, it was a school/class trip, either to Rio or to Japan, I'm not sure which. But anyhow, I was rushing and somehow I ended up on the plane with only my lunchbox, 70 cents, and my iPod (but no earpieces, how useless). People kept pestering me to get my luggage, so I got off and ran. I was at a park/basketball court thing, and I saw a friend of mine who I haven't seen in a while. She handed me my luggage, a pillow, and a sheet, apparently from the last time I slept over. I hugged her and thanked her and then ran back, for some reason not caring that I knew I'd miss the plane. I did. I went to the airport cafe, where I met, let's call her Sally. Sally told me that she saw I wasn't on and decided to wait for me. I asked about Hallie, and she apparently went home. Jane, too. So I waited there. The first time, the plane actually exploded. I experienced it sort of from the point of view of a random person on it. They tried to chloroform people and knock them unconscious so they wouldn't be hurt when they died. But somehow they got off with seconds to spare?
People on the ground thought everyone was dead. Alison (friend with luggage) thought I was on the plane, and was crying in the park. Here's where it got weirder. Zeb and Ben and Aiden (And Leona, I think) were staying in the airport hotel overlooking the park, and Zeb went down and comforted Alison, although not the nicest way possible. Even in a dream and being nice-ish, Zeb was still Zeb.
Then it replayed back.
Instead, the plane was just going to crash into the ocean, somewhere around the Bermuda Triangle/Ruins of Atlantis. Ben and Aiden rifted aboard and gathered everyone they could and as much as they could carry, then rifted to the ground. (Ben made the rift, of course.) The plane went under the ocean with a splash and there were the ruins and whoa.
Then again.
The same thing happened, only this time there was more time and everyone got off, including the pilot and staff. And most of the pets from the cargo. Then into the ocean again.
I remember something about Leona spontaneously appearing and criticizing the pilot, saying something about "even I could fly better than that." I'm sure. When the newspeople discovered the people who had supposedly drowned, they asked question after question about how they were still alive, but all they got was something like "A strange white-haired man came aboard and rescued us." It was left up for interpretation. Everyone was fine, happy ending, happy ending.

And this is why I shouldn't watch the news. >.<

What I would give to have dreams like that!
