My sleep last night was riddled with dream-stuffs like the St. Valentine's Day massacre was with bullets. The highlights (that I remember) include:
* - There's not -- as far as I know -- a real Alaska river. Regardless, I doubt it'd be the size of the Mississippi River's width. Crazy go nuts, I tell you. :)
- Getting involved in a car chase on the highway. I was driving a semi (tractor only), and the cars I hit were reacting exactly as they did when I put a semi in NFS3 back in the day. I flipped it, and because of my l337 driving skills (read: luck), it landed right-side up, and unscratched.
- Happening before the car chase (which I felt was very reminiscent of Matrix Reloaded), I found myself in a large room, similar in style to what one would find in Unreal Tournament, with the forces of good. Legolas was across the way, and we were waiting for the armies of Sauron to come in the doorway at the bottom. I realized I had no weapon, so when the arrows began raining up on it (we were on higher ground), I started collecting the arrows to use against the orcs. I then found a short bow and a long bow. I gave Legolas the long bow, who had been trying to use a shortbow, and couldn't. Understand, folks, the level of subconscious respect I have for his archer ways, if I gave him the longbow. (Note my icon!)
- I remember we were captured, but I escaped, and with Merry and Pippen, snuck out of "Warehouse" Doom to get reinforcements.
- At another point, before the epic LotR clash I think, I found myself in a cavernous Toys R Us, looking for Star Wars figures. A sales associate was very helpful, explaining that the store with the Star Wars toys was closed on Sundays, but that I could bring my purchases around to the other store to be rung up. (Think of a Toys R Us grafted onto the front of another Toys R Us, and it was the one in front that had the Star Wars toys, but was closed.)
- Something I forgot about the epic battle vs. evil section: The orcs had a green dragon they used, as well as a nighthag. At least, I knew it was a hag, and she could control your mind if you looked at her. Dunno if that is a real D&D monster, but she's how we got defeated. (I had to sneak a look. *sigh*)
- After the car chase, we got back inside the warehouse to free the others. We then had to run away, because bad guys (undefined in the dream) were after us.
- I found myself at the closest major intersection to my house. It was nighttime, and a cowboy-attired Jack Palace was walking toward a semi, and that's when I realized that a) the semi belonged to Jack, b) it was the semi that we had taken for our joyride, and c) I was currently in spectator mode, because I saw everyone scambling out of the truck as Jack shot at it. I think I rejoined the action when "I" ran through where my spectator POV was at.
- I found a closed, but unlocked weapon shop. I realized that Jack Palance owned this shop, but I needed weapons to fight him and the orcs. I found a magazine of 9mm bullets, but could only find a pump shotgun (think of a nerf-style toy - no trigger, you pump it to fire) that said it took 105mm bullets. Strangely, the 9mm bullets worked. I saw shuriken, swords, and arrows, but only had time for the bullets, because Jack was coming back.
- I'd swear that I stopped briefly by Yosemite Sam's, but I cannot remember if I did karaoke or not. :)
- Next, I was back in spectator, behind the Lone Ranger, who was watching Jack look for me. Jack saw him, and accused him of being the one who got into his store. He called the Ranger the "Phantom Rider", which -- in reality -- is defiitely a Tora Tora song, and possibly a Wild West version of Ghost Rider. The Phantom Rider showed up to show that he wasn't the Long Ranger, and that's when I wandered off.
- For some reason, I was at my brother's apartment (who doesn't have an apartment), and eating cheese I didn't like. I opened the window at the back of the apartment, so I could spit it out, and realized that the Alaska River* flowed literally outside his window. (There was a small patio, but the river at high tide was already washing over it some. Sheesh. Aron asked me why I ate the cheese if I was going to spit it back out, and why did I come to his place to do it? Ah, so typically Aron.
- That's all I really remember, except for a few occurrences where I came to just enough to note the time, smile, and drift back off. I kept immediately going back into my dreamstate, and as a result, I realized I was dreaming. I started making myself do Spider-man caliber jumps and things I normally couldn't. Once, just to see if I could, I tried to wake myself up, by willpower alone. Alas, I knew it wasn't important to wake up, so I never did. Once, my dream was so vivid, I thought I HAD waken up. Then, I think I saw something funny, and that's when I tested my "powers" and realized I was still dreaming.
