Who watches the dreamer?

Double post catch up!

I went and saw Watchmen recently, and had a dream based on one of the scenes from the film (don’t worry, there is no spoiler, but if you’ve seen the film you can see the very, very, very slight resemblance to one scene – and no, it’s not that one, you dirty bastards!).

Dream One:

The beginning is very strange. I’m not seeing through my eyes, but a scene unfolds. It’s about a little girl in a very sunny, and flowery front garden of this large cottage-like building. She’s playing with a friend, who gets led away, but a woman comes to take her, and leads her off in a different direction.

I’m now in my own body, in a desert like plain. The sun is high in the sky. I’m standing in front of one of those typically menacing looking “evil” factory type buildings you have in villan films. The building is sort of off in the distance, as before it (and I can only draw similariest to the pictures of the Taj Mahal) has this extremely long, rectangle strip of tarmac running up to the entrance (which is like, one of those big steel security doors the hero is always running to slide under as it auto-shuts when someone sets off the emergencey alarm in films, haha). Except (unlike the very pretty and pictureesque Taj Mahal), there are these gun cannon things in sync along this long “runway” looking tarmac thing. I’m standing at the end, and suddenly, in something you’d NEVER see me do, I start to run along the outside of the left hand gun cannons, barrel rolling and everything, till I stop at a little manhole type cover, that reveals a massive circuit board and loads of wires. Out come the scissors, and I’m ripping out all the wires which disables the gun cannons! Ameena, Temoor and Elkin are with me, and start to catch up, running to the entrance, but the entrance opens and these MP type S.W.A.T people run out (naturally we kick their ass). Run inside, and we’re in like this massive factory type thing. Our mission is to find the little girl as she has been kidnapped. I look to my left and see a small metal step-ladder on the wall that leads to one of those metal “floor” things. I start to climb (the ladder is inside a plastic see0through tube) and one of the S.W.A.T people throws a canister down which contains knock out gas, so I pass out.

I wake up in my bedroom. My Mum is there. I start to panic, but she tells me our mission was successful, and passes me the local paper where Temoor had written the front page news, a revealing story about this “secret” organisation and how we saved the girl! Fantastic!

And I wake up!

Second dream:

Before I start, I’d just like to say, that however much I love TR, I’m not obsessed. My dreams seem to take on some sort of RPG style gaming experience sometimes, and TR is my one and only, so it’s the only reference

I don’t really remember the start of this much. The bit I do remember from, and I’m at uni, and just miss someone getting on the bus. I think time passes, and someone else from uni comes up to me and we start talking. The bus comes around again (the wrong way) and the person I just missed gets off, and reveals that they have had a haircut. I am shocked.

Then my dream changes, and I feel like I’m inside a game. Someone has selected a hidden, extremely hard boss level (I’m the character, but I’m not controlled… if you get what I mean? It’s all very strange). It’s sort of Egyptian styled. Anyway, the level loads when the wall lifts up and there is this fat ugly looking HUGE beetle that starts to run after me. So I run back (towards the “camera” – if it were a game!), and turn a corner as the Beetle misses me turn. Another wall lifts up to reveal a circular room where Chomp (wtf?) is face up in the middle of the room, but half sunk in. I daren’t go over, but someone (as though my subconscious controlling me playing the game has a friend watching) tells me I can pick it up. So I do. It’s a bouncy ball, that if thrown at the beetle, will make me clear the level!

My radio went off at this point. SO STRANGE.

Why are you running away?

I keep lagging in remembering to post about what dreams I’ve had. I know I’ve had two/three good ones recently and I can only remember the one of them, which I woke up feeling stiff.

I’ll set the scene first.

It’s in my old primary school, in the playground, which, from the perspective of a 4-5 year old, was quite large and open spaced (although in my dreams everything feels wide and distorted). Big trees used to line the walls and had benches around them, which is the main focus on my dream. Which, as a warning to anyone who stumbles across this, is only a dream! It’s not real, so… uh, don’t get offended

The playground is empty, and I am standing by the wooden “bus” plaything with my Nan. Out of nowhere, my eldest brother walks into view, sits on the tree bench and stuffs something underneath it. I go over and snatch the package he is trying to hide away from him. It’s drugs. I go mental. He confesses that he’s been dealing in drugs for money. His Fiancee comes onto the scene; she’s been doing it as well. I’m furious. I tell my Mum, but she doesn’t seem to care.

I’m now in my room stressing, as my criminal brother is in the house. I know I can’t live here anymore and I’m stressing about what to do. My Nan comes up and shuts the door and talks to me in hushed tones, telling me that I have to secretly leave the house and run away. She tells me to go to her place (which in real life is only down the road!) and she’ll take things from there. She leaves and I rush to gather bags together, and start to pack away all of my things that I think necessary to bring. I start to imagine (in my dream) where I’m going to travel, if I have enough money on my Oyster, and what I’m going to do once at my Nans. I woke up soon after.

There was a lot of stress on the excitement of adventure, of that feeling you get up your spine when sneaking around, worried someone is right behind you. I think that’s what made me wake up tense!

Pulling teeth

I’m such a geek. I ordered this t-shirt the otherday *hee*.

Anyway, dreamage.

I don’t remember an insane amount of it, there was only two “significant” scenes and the rest I’m straining to remember.

I’ll set the scene. It’s in a spars forest, snow covered, and I am with other people (I’m not sure who they are) and we are all running away from something. There are bits that remind me of one of the levels on Mario Kart DS. I think it’s DKs snow mountain during one of the missions where you racing him doing the track backwards. Anywho, I end up in a log cabin, but the previous “story” seems to have vanished and I’m there with some of my old friends (Simon, Lauren, Nick and Joe) and we’re helping Lauren stack up all of these CD cases in wooden boxes. She starts to take pictures and I pose pointing up Simon’s nose for one of them.

The next part is set in my house and I’m looking in the mirror in the hallway. I’m looking at one of my teeth that for some strange reason is twisted, so I start playing with it, and watch as my gum around it moves. Then suddenly my tooth snaps off. I run into the kitchen (I’m not in pain, and the tooth just popped out freely!) and tell my Mum who doesn’t really think it that big a deal.

I wake up soon after.
