Re: Weird Dream Thread
Good grief, where do I start? It was one of those dreams you have after you fall back asleep and I only remember bits and pieces of it, but whatever the hell I was on, I'm not sure I want more of, heh.
I remember looking for this...orb or some sort of treasure, but the way we were going after it was strange. I was in this apartment and using this video game-like setup to dive the characters underwater to shoot at these fish that were circling around them. Had to shoot enough of the fish to find which one had the orb, I think. At the same time, you had to watch their oxygen level and pop up, which ran you the risk of losing the fish (as did hitting the wrong button and letting them chill on the surface in inner tubes and on the beach. Whoops.) And then I used different sort of lures to bring out this...goblin-imp thing that actually had the orb, only the apartment and the underwater scene were sort of juxtaposed, so I was using fish in the apartment. I catch the goblin, get the orb, and apparently also locked up in the apartment is this...abomination and it's keyed to a certain phrase. It's something bizarre, but the goblin thinks it's something else, so it tries to summon it out but it doesn't work. I also happen to know that it's especially keyed to my neighbor's daugther's voice and so I'm pleading with her to "Just stop talking" until I can figure out how to fight this thing. In the meantime, I head out of the apartment where my parents and the owner of the building are gutting the stuff out of another of the apartments and pretty much putting it out for a yard sale. The other apartment belonging to the mastermind behind all of this nastiness, mind you. So I go out to try to explain to my father what's going on, what we're dealing with and he's at this pedestal and someone's prompting him and all of sudden he starts quoting the phrase that'll turn the monster loose (all the while *ignoring* me) So I run back to the house, clear my friends out and then go back to bitch my father out for, basically, being a traitor. And we're talking full on bitch-out with table-flipping rage. I tumble everything off of the thing, including this guitar, which gets smashed underneath it and get yelled at for that and it turns into one of those "I don't care. What you just did is way worse" etc etc and so I'm storming back to the apartment (which I now somehow know belongs to me, so they can't do anything to it) and I'm walking along the sidewalk and there's phrases printed on it, one of which is the definition of "You're dead to me."
(Fun fact, for those that don't know: Copper's father is, in fact, deceased, and for him to show up in my dreams is bizarre enough. For him to not be an ally, so to speak, is even stranger. And add in the words and well...)
So I get back to the apartment and things are calm. Not exactly what I'm expecting for having a raging hell-beast-abomination running loose. So I finish clearing my friends out when this ape-like thing comes bounding down the stairs and rushes at me. I dodge, try and get a hand on it and go "Jacob! Jacob, it's okay!" and it's less hell-beastish and more just...deformed human. But that seems to get through to him and I get to see his origin story, which plays out like a f'ed up slasher movie. He thinks the bad guy is going to do something good for him and ends up chaining him into this bathtub full of chemical soup-type stuff AND operating on him at the same time until he turns into the abomination. Meantime, I suddenly realize that he and I are now flying and as he concludes his story, he thanks me for believing him and giving him a chance to do what he needed to do. I look over and written in the clouds is "Mistake" and he twists around and one of the wings he didn't have before is stitched over and he just plummets to the ground. I try to catch him, ease him down, and we're sort of having this 'not a monster' conversation.
Shortly after that, I woke up and went wtf? Bear in mind, too, there was also a side snippet with the X-men in it (Cyclops and Beast, I think. And I got to juxtapose with Rogue. Hence why I could fly after Jacob.) and a touch of the Utopia storyline from the comics (should mutants be confined to the island away from the humans.) I just remember the comment coming up that "Uh, these people know some of us can fly, right?"
So, yeah. The retelling isn't quite as coherent, but I really want to know what the hell my brain was thinking. Any takers? LOL
