Dreams

(NB. 'Dreams' is also reference to Fleetwood Mac - Newest Glee episode did songs off Rumours, reminded me so much of listening to the CD player when I was younger, I've decided to listen to all their stuff. Making me a bit emotional too...)

So, I had a very bizarre dream last night, and I want to try and dissect it a bit. I haven't even told Martin about it, so this is literally fresh out of my head.

To start I was just watching the film 'Killing Bono'. Now, I can't remember what the hell the premise for the film is, but in my head is was about a person who meets Robert Sheehan when on the run from some weirdos who are chasing them both. They half bond, half just watch each other's backs. The people chasing them turn out to be members of a cult which is enforced on any youths they catch. It was a bit nazi-like - they basically didn't want anyone disagreeing with their policies and ideals, which were basically 'do the work we tell you to, we pay you with food and somewhere to sleep, and don't complain.' Except, Robert was originally trying to find his sister, so we needed to escape to save her, but escaping was pretty hard, as they were this massive cult of beefy men and this one woman who looked like a Sim... She was the ring-leader, so to speak, and the most pissed off when we ran. We basically had to keep running, and we eventually got away. (the dream started with me watching the film, but within seconds I was in said film, so sort of shifted perspective).

So, I think I woke up and fell back asleep, because the next dream started off in the weird marshy area, which I'm sure I've dreamed about before, but have never actually been to said place, and Robert was there again, except with blonde bits in his hair. Pretty weird, but I assumed that this meant that time had passed since previous dream. Basically, we were re-acquainting when we saw a henchman guy chasing this kid. We recognised him as the same cult as before, and tried to help out the kid, but got involved in the chase too, so the three of us were pelting through this marsh and the guy chasing us was not doing well: what he knew and we didn't, however, was that at the end was there was a fence running the whole marsh, and only one gate, which four or five henchmen stood at, looking burly. Robert decided we should run further up the fence and try jump it, but the kid we were with was pretty small. He was so terrified that he stayed with us, and we basically threw him over the fence, but the four guys were hot on our heals so we were quickly ambushed and taken to the 'camp'. The camp was much bigger than the previous dream, and more adults were surveying  the hundreds of children that they had captured. They took us straight to the front, and Rob and I decided to try obscure our faces with mud so that the woman wouldn't recognise us. She didn't, so we were half-okay, although still captured. As usual, I couldn't control my gob and got us straight back into trouble when I defied doing what the Woman wanted. She seemed angry, but nothing really happened. I soon realised it was because there were two other kids who were trying to break out too: Rob and I teamed with them to disable some cameras, I literally jumped off a wall to take out a henchmen (think I broke his neck, was pretty sweet), and we did a runner. This time we were in a town, and running around was really hard because we didn't know who were good and who were bad. One guy helped us out by opening this gate for us, so we were running for the edge of the town, but the two others got captured, and Rob tried to help them, and we got captured too.

Back in the camp again, and we were literally squeezed into this paddock. One of the things that we weren't supposed to do was stand anywhere unsheltered, and we were not allowed to walk around. Basically, they wanted us to be lemmings. So, because the paddock was so full, I couldn't get inside, and therefore was outside, and I had to walk to get inside. A messenger woman came down and told us 'those who were just standing outside are in MASSIVE trouble', and because I was already in trouble anyway, and still didn't want her to figure out that I had once escaped her clutches anyway, I sat on this wheely cart thing and rolled away. Went well until the hill stopped and I had to run again. This time I experienced the classic 'legs don't move fast enough' thing, and it was just the woman chasing me, so I had to be cunning and double-back a couple times, and hide. I found myself on this castle hill, and she didn't dare come over because her own guard dog was on it. The dog saw me, and started this weird noise, which I knew wouldn't be good, so I jumped down this hole in the rock, which protected me most sides, just had a slight gap where I'd got in, but I could move past said gap. The dog then breathed fire everywhere. It seemed to last forever. When he finally stopped, I knew that the woman thought I was dead, and the dog had no more fire in him, so I waited a bit, leapt out and ran.

I think the next dream followed straight on from the last. I was in the town center again, with my Mum, and this massive lorry was trying to squeeze through these tiny roads with high buildings all along them, so people were in danger everywhere. Me and Mum found a safe place to wait, but Mum was worried that James and Dad had gone missing, so I went to find them. I knew I needed a vehicle, and I found Katie up in the town, with a car. We drove to the river, where Dad had last been seen, found a boat and started down the river. I was driving, very quickly, and couldn't control the bounce of the water very well - was a bit dodgy. Katie found a rifle in the boat. This helped, as we quickly came across a crazy man in the river. We then saw a football and knew we'd gone too far, so grabbed the ball and headed back. On the way back we drove past Jack Nicholson in a boat, with a dead body in the back of his boat. He didn't do anything to us, but moments later a boat that was chasing him started shooting at us. Katie went crazy, shot the two guys in there, and I stopped to pick up their guns: a nice hand-gun and an automatic big shot-gun type thing. We came across another guy, and then this deer started jumping out of the bushes at us. Our guns beat them down.

I then woke up. Who knows what happened to James and Dad.... Or whether the damn cult woman will pop up in another dream. I think remembering her in the second dream was the problem.

But yeah, pretty weird. I felt like I was in three action movies, all in the space of about ten minutes.

On another note, I'm really enjoying Fleetwood Mac. Good times!
