The dream diary topic Options

[Rosetta]

Since it seems we've started a dream diary idea, let's use this topic to describe the dreams we can remember to the best of our ability. Just make sure they don't break any rules and such. Feel free to also post what you think they may mean or represent if that's up your alley.

I'll start with an example dream, the latest one I can remember.

I had a child in this dream, but she was kidnapped and beaten by thugs for no particular reason. I formed some kind of team to take her back, and while we did get her, the damage was too severe, and things didn't end well. Woke up feeling utterly depressed from that one.

Last night:
I forget what the major order of events were but it seems to be tghat I was vacationing in Canada and I'm at a school/university where three guys somehow get me in the situation of being stuck in a room with little kids trying to hide myself under a very large but very thin blanket (I don't know why but I get the uneasy feeling that I'm lacking clothes). There seems to have been some sort of prior memory of this because I remember bursting out from the blanket I'm hiding under in a tiger costume and beating the three of them while wearing it. Anyhow my mom finds me, she explains the situation and the three (who are relatives or brothers of some sort) are caught by their father who punishes them. In return we go to their house where apparently Rai is currently. Then he tells some story to everyone about me offering to take everyone's money to buy lunch but I forget that it's other people's money and start talking about how many chicken nuggets I will buy at McDonald's. I turn to the fridge and find that something is missing, and the father flashes a rather evil grin.

Somehow leads to a beach dock place. There are a bunch of log benches set on a sloped beach area leading into a creek/swamp and sitting on them seems to be a number of depressed people. At the water's edge is a Shack and from behind the shack comes the father with a crooked smile. The only people accompanying me seem to be people that I know but can't seem to recognize and characters from tf2. The (now) old man starts a creepy rhyme about people wanting to revert time while I apparently take out shoes from inside my shoes (there is some sort of big outer shoe covering with a mechanism inside holding a smaller set of shoes). During the song/rhyme he tells of how people want to revert time because they made a mistake, and he grants them their wishes. One story described a man who wanted to go back to a point in time with someone he loved but they were no where to be found so he panicked and committed suicide. I turn around instinctively and find the man he is talking about behind me, his jaw missing. I realize that many of the people on the benches are dead. I run from the benches to behind the shack where there is a bucket of something that looks to be food. I pick it up instinctively and begin to eat only to realize that the bucket holds dead and rotting crows and throw up. Then something next to me explodes into a mass of green goo. I reach down and find it's a squirrel head. One of the old man's assistants helps clean me up and we both look into my right pant pocket and see that goo has completely covered a pair of underwear I had there. He asks for them and I hand them over. The old man continues his rhyme saying that he can only make 'apparent' time revert (that he tricks people into thinking they've gone back in time). He is actually a scientist who created a substance to increase apathy, and it worked too well. People began not caring about anything and died, then continued to live because they didn't care about dying either. I run upstream the creek by myself and find an invisible door to a laboratory setting where there is a table of computers. I log on to one and find a TF2.exe and open it. Suddenly someone I know from HS kicks me off the computer (literally) and tries to look for information about the old man but can't find what she wants. She yells something about not wanting to play TF2, and I get on the computer, enter a password and find all the information she wanted. The old man has caught up to me and sadly says that all he wants to do is atone and is trying to find a way to kill all the apathetic dead he has inadvertently created.

Dream changes to a Mass Effect/Halo setting as I leave through some double doors. I'm pretty sure my parents are with me as I see them pass by. I turn around and there on an upper ledge I see a turret and destroy it with a rocket launcher. I run back down hall to a darked area in front of a double door. I think it's another set of friends I don't recognize. They check their weapons and run in. I can see through the frosted glass that they have been frozen. I run in (apparently with Box) and find an old lady and her granddaughter (who I also seem to know). I push my frozen friends to the side, pull out a candle, or a sword (It's really hard to tell which because I think the sword is something like a really fat lightsaber hilt) and close my eyes, trying to focus my energy into the candlesword. The energy ignites a flame which unfreezes my friends. The old ladyhas since given up whatever she was doing. Out from behind me the double doors open with the parents of my friends. The old lady's granddaughter congratulates me about being victorious over my feelings etc. etc.

and I wake up.
