Dreams are Spacelike.
Nov. 25th, 2007 04:13 pmThere's gotta be a better way to start the day than wake up in the morning.
So in this particular dream's beginning (which was done in this weird-ass cross of a game and a bad CGI movie style) I was a member of a group of anthropomorphic wasp things infiltrating an Ant nest for some reason - we had to capture the queen and leave her alive because this particular species of wasp needed the ants as food, and at the same time kill their bishop (wtf, chess pieces) which was the unit that was responsible to creating the ant warrior strain. Basically crippling them while keeping them harvestable.
NOT a very me-ish concept, eh? I know.
As it turns out, the infiltration squad - there were three of us, and the leader had an obvious Leroy Jenkins syndrome - he just rushed into the nest without really thinking. I remember wondering why did he do that, KNOWING that we're going to get caught - but I couldn't do much with my paranoia and suspicions because hey, I wasn't in charge of this mission.
So, we head into the royal hall, and ironically, no one even pays attention to our existence, they're too busy with a party or something. Needless to say everything goes to hell - I know exactly what I should be doing, but the team leader is a complete idiot, walking around all full of self-importance, and the third character (obviously female) is utterly useless, standing there wondering what she's doing there anyway. Fuck. It feels like an episode of Savers, and the sad thing is that if this WAS an episode of Savers I'd be the fucking blond Mary-Sue. x_X
Obviously everything goes to the dogs - the ants sooner or later start getting a little suspicious, so we leave without actually doing anything, and then split up, assumingly to go undetected. I have no idea what happened to the other two - because then the perspective shifted into a Metroid-style escape scene through underground tunnels with various water bits.
Some weirdness later - I've (me this time, rather than a CGI wasp-thing) apparently just arrived somewhere via airplane or something. I emerge into a small snowy forest (the central area of which I know from a picture I took... here. In Israel. WTF) with a map. I navigate through the forest screens (Very Quest for Glory-like, the forest is made up of several clearings separated by trees and stuff) The exit from the forest involves walking over a small barbed wire fence at some part (although later I notice a small gap in the fence that was apparently the real exit) When I walk out I find myself in this really quiet looking pretty place - there's a large, pretty canyon and this path that runs along it, mountains in the background... the landscape is this unnatural and yet very natural mix of desert-like red sandstone and plants. There's a feeling of wilderness, serenity, quiet.
As I walk along the path (headed away from the forest area), I'm slowly beginning to notice voices in the distance. Human voices, somewhat familiar. It almost sounds like a military drill, or briefing. I pick up various mentions of parachutes and airplanes - and it all starts in English, but then, mysteriously, some of the talking shifts into Hebrew.
"WTF is the IDF doing in Finland?" I ask myself. Because to my mind this was Finland. WTF.
The further I walk along the path, the voices get stronger - and finally I find the reason - there is a military base on the other side of the canyon - it's an air force base, and guess who's briefing the local army?
My department, that's who. The six (yes, including the two who left) highest ranking ones - one of them providing the briefing, the others mostly being there. Two of them were inspecting the planes for something. There was a small scene with a few hellos and stuff - been a while since I saw most of them. Then, for some reason I decided to turn back along the path.
As I approached the forest area again I started noticing a couple of birds. There was this heron-like creature trotting along the edge of the forest (which I took a picture of using my camera's zoom function), and later I ran into this REALLY pretty bird that had kinda Chatot-like color schemes, but was more like a fuzzy eagle thing. It was resting on this fence and i had to take various zoomed pictures of it and hope they turned out well. It was all awesome.
"Well, I'll have a lot of awesome pictures to show people when I get on the flight to Canada." Because apparently this was a connecting flight to Canada. And then I realized that I didn't bring my Laptop along.
"... Crap, I'm dreaming, aren't I?" I said, and at that moment I woke up.
Well, not really woke up - just woke up into another segment of the dream. And my first thought was DAMNIT THE PICTURES ARE GONE. ;_;
... Hey, those were really pretty birds. <<
The last part wasn't really interesting - just involved a psychometric simulation test that had a whole chapter that dealt with nothing but bizarre logic-based rebus things that are REALLY not what the test has in them, and were so fucking obscure even god wouldn't have been able to solve. XD
Dude. I have fucked up dreams. ^^
