A less violent Hunger Games (I guess.)

I imagine this dream occurred because I finished The Hunger Games a few days ago, then have been musing about watching Battle Royal again.

From what I understand, the basic rules of the game is that there were two teams, 5v5, and each team had a bunch of information given to them and 15 questions that the other team had the answers to. If you managed to get the answers to all 15 questions,then combined it with your own knowledge then you could unlock untold riches. To get someone out of the games, there was no killing allowed but you were allowed to knock them unconscious where they would be suspended from the games for 36 hours, though some chose to make this is violent as possible to make the people returning useless.

I don't know how it all panned out, but I the first thing I remember is sitting in a large room talking to a bunch of old ladies about random goings on in life, when my teammate Mildred walks in and I ask her where our other teammate (whose name I don't recall other than it started with an M as well) was. Mildred told me she wasn't quite sure but she knew the other team decided to start taking hostages to try to get information out of us, and when they did, they'd replace the hostage and try to take another. The general setting appeared to be a large forest surrounded by mountains where you could look for caves.

This was probably not a good sign, so I took off while Mildred collected supplies from the old lady bunker. I found no sign of our other teammate but I did find three of the other team harassing my third teammate, Autumn, for information and slowly damaging her legs until she answered a question. To stop the torture, as I knew I couldn't take on three of them at once, I popped out from behind a tree and answered one of their questions, before standing in front of Autumn as a human shield. Luckily, Mildred managed to show up behind them and the leader of the group (who I shall call Jon, as you will see why in the next section) told his group to back down, and since we gave them some of the information willingly then he would release our teammate.

The other team, which consisted of a scrawny looking chick, a guy who vaguely resembled the guy who plays Jon Snow in Game of Thrones, and another guy who appeared to be Aldis Hodge (Hardison in Leverage). Their fourth teammate was probably guarding the hostage, and their fifth I had apparently rendered unconscious a few hours before finding the bunker. My fifth teammate was the only guy on our team and fit enough to be able to be useful, but that's all I recall about him.

My team regrouped, with Mildred and I helping Autumn walk, by a tree that vaguely reminded me of an Ent. After however long we had been playing, the opposing team had the answers to 6 of our questions, and we only had the answer to 4 of theirs. It was decided that I would go scout out a safer location to meet and see if I could find the other teams hide out. While hunting I ran across the guy who resembled Hardison on a rocky cliff side and there was a surprisingly dramatic battle that involved bo staffs and climbing on the rocks. We were evenly matched for the most part but when we were both exhausted, Hardison's teammates showed up and I, very quickly, became the hostage of the day.

The rest I remember involved being in a rather pleasant neck of the woods being questioned about the information and thinking it odd that the leader of the group was the one who was staying back.

No idea how it ended, if we won or not. I really wonder what would happen if you only got like, 25 of the 30 total clues and were able to find the location from that... would it be cheating?

More Zombies! Hurrah!

Well then, let's just get right into this one.

It begins with our protagonist, Patrick Stump, running with a guy who looks like he's a drill sergeant away from a bunch of extremely muddy people. Drill sergeant man helps Patrick over a fence but doesn't manage to make it over before he is overcome by the zombies and Patrick can't take too long to mourn his friend before he has to take off so the zombies don't catch him as they're starting to pile up before the fence and getting closer to climbing on each other to make it over. There was a long time of running, probably thirty minutes of so of running (Though in dream time this took maybe 2 minutes) until Patrick approached a really old, ornate building at the top of a hill in the distance and a few miscellaneous buildings a bit farther. It was clear that the area had been completely abandoned and so Patrick booked it up and into the ornate building and got the doors shut, the light illuminating the zombie's hands through the tinted windows as they pawed at the glass. All he could do was making sure the door was barred before he passed out from exhaustion.

We now skip to a montage of Patrick waking up and finding food in a basement area, Vala from Stargate SG-1 and I showing up, Jared Padelecki showing up with his few month old son, two more guys and Smity showing up, somehow managing to get a signal on a crank TV that some of the guys found scavenging, throwing a mini-celebration as we hear news of the army slowly getting rid of zombies, Vala on a phone talking to authorities about a movement and how things are going, finally news on how most everything is zombie free, Vala and Patrick ending up doing a pseudo relationship thing, Jared somehow getting in contact with his wife, and a full out celebration the day before the army was going to come pick us up and take us to this new community for survivors. Total time span was probably about 4-6 months.

Skip to a week or so after we've been moved to our new houses, Vala, Patrick, Jared, his Son, his wife, Smity and myself ending up staying in one fairly large house as the other few people stayed next door, having formed a bond after surviving a zombie apocalypse. We get word that it looks like some straggler zombies are headed towards the town, that is protected by the army but we still can't be too careful and I'm pretty sure there was a "aw, hell no!" thrown in as Jared, his Son (now about a year old) and I took off to go investigate. When we got there, we saw a decent amount of zombies (probably 30) scattered and coming up the path into town and the Army had stormtrooper syndrome and was missing horridly. Jared then handed me his son, ripped a signpost out of the ground and went and beat on the zombies to kill them (why he has super strength? No idea). There was a point where Jared lost the post and was knocked down, and one of the last zombies was about to get him when his son struggled out of my arms, ran to his dad, and punched the zombie so hard in the neck that it crushed the zombie's windpipe and incapacitated the zombie. Both Jared and I were shocked, but we went with it and returned home.

Whelp, that was only kinda weird.

And now we're Flying

Honestly, I don't think I could accurately do a weirdness warning for this dream... Just know that it follows three different people, who's sections will be signified by a ------[Title]------. I was not in this dream at all.

-----[The Man]-----
This begins with the Man, his Wife, his Sister, and his friend at the top of a tower in city called "Flying". This tower had been locked up, and no one really had been up there for a few generations but the Man had finally talked a crew into investigating it. At the top of the tower there was a rusty iron hang glider that the Man had taken intense interest in and was in the process of talking his family into letting him try it out even though the Wife keeps pointing to old documents that show that every single previous attempt on the glider has been a horrible failure. The Man decides to say sucks to his Wife's advice and ends up just taking off right there, using the argument that they're in a city named Flying, why is no one trying to fly.

The flight is a relative success, the Man lands with just a few cuts and scrapes and maybe a bruised rib a few miles away and he's so freaking excited that he has to do it again relatively soon. This is when things go bad, as the Man finds the next relatively tall building and takes another jump, only to get caught in some sort of updraft, lose control, and black out.

-----[The Sister, a year later]-----
The Sister and her friend were boarding a small airplane with three doors that fit roughly 18 people when the friend all of a sudden got a weird look and he told her something was weird and turned right before he got on the plane, with her already stepping inside and as soon as she did the door closed right behind her and he couldn't get inside the plane after that, the stewardess telling her to take her seat and he'd have to get on a later flight. As the flight started to taxi down the runway, there were checks done to make sure the three doors were closed and the first two managed to close while the third door, the one located close to the cockpit was flung open by the momentum and the people couldn't reach the pilots to stop. All of the passengers buckled in and held on for their lives, not sure how long they had left, and once they were at a high enough altitude things began to break on the small plane and one by one the people were sucked out of the plane into oblivion. The Sister was the last person to be sucked out and as she was falling she muttered the irony of the fact that she was from a town called Flying and yet flying was gonna be the end of her.

-----[The Man, Two years later]-----
The Man shows up outside the Museum that has a connection to his house and awkwardly shifts as he knows he's been gone for a while, but he's not exactly sure how long because no one would tell him when he woke up and he went straight back home, thanking the people who's house he had woken up in. He enters the back room of the museum where workers are examining pieces that will be on display once they pass some tests and hears a gasp from the old Asian woman who had always been a family friend, and was head curator at the museum. She tells him he had been gone for twelve years and then tells him exactly where to find his Wife. His Wife, however, tells him he's only been gone for twelve days. The Man doesn't believe either of them, and is completely weirded out by the cheery disposition of everyone in the town. Later that night it is explained to him by his friend from earlier (who happened to be Jared Padalecki) that someone came into town a week ago and essentially forced the entire town to be overly happy and it was creeping him out. There was also a conversation about whether Supernatural had been renewed still after Jared had explained that it had been two years since his incident.

The next day the old Asian lady was explaining in grave terms what happened to his Sister when he feels a sudden pain and everything goes black, permanently.

-----[The Wife, sorta.]-----
The Wife, possessed by the angry spirit of the Sister and more than likely the creepy person that forced everyone to be happy, had stuck her hand through the Man and caused him to turn into colored flakes of gold. She then did the same with the old Asian woman while everyone else screamed in terror and ran out of the museum. There was a small interlude where the Wife then went to go get skittles but couldn't eat them because when she touched them they turned into rainbow colored gold flecks.

I'm pretty sure that's when my brain decided it was too freaking weird, because then I woke up.

Under Za Sea

More Strangeness.

This began with my family and I on a long boat (two people across, 20 people back, ish) on a trip to begin whale watching while my dad talked about how he used to run this tour. Within 10 minutes there was a incredibly long orca whale swimming in front of the boat, even stopping and letting me (at the very front of the boat) to touch it before diving deep in the ocean. We were able to find another three or four whales within 30 minutes and the tour guide commented how odd it was to even find one. Once we were far enough away from the coast that we couldn't see it anymore there was a splash and a guy had dove out of the boat and was swimming downwards. Almost simultaneously myself, an average girl, a guy that was similar to the action heroes of zombie movies, and a tall elf-like man (who was still human, but that's the best way I could describe his figure) dove after the first man who just kept swimming deeper and deeper.

Once we got far enough we realized we had no issue breathing underwater and the pressure wasn't affecting us. We approached a colony that was kinda reminiscent of the Little Mermaid and noticed other people swimming around observing these bright green patches. We swam up to these people and asked what they were doing and they told us that they were farming patches of baby krill because some man was going around and killing patches of the ocean floor and these baby krill could help heal the patches if they were placed in the center. The elf-man described the man who had jumped off our boat and these people confirmed that that was the guy attacking the ocean and gave us a vague direction for where to find him.

My mind skipped to the four of us finding the man and beating him while swimming back to shore, however it was a different shore than we originally took off from. When we defeated the man he apparently lost his ability to breathe underwater and by the time we got up there he was dead. We dropped off his body anonymously at a local police station, I called my family, and we went to research where in the world we ended up.

We found an inn where the innkeeper put us up for the night but we had to stay in the kitchen because all the rooms were full. We were happy enough to have a place to sleep and eat that we didn't care and just passed out, the elf-man falling asleep in the bathtub because it was most comfortable for him.

The innkeeper woke us up abruptly at around 3 in the morning telling us that two threatening men were looking for us and it didn't look good at all. We had to hurry out, making her promise to hide the elf-man who we couldn't get to and gave her a rendezvous point so we could find him again. The three of us ran out the door just as the two men came running into the kitchen and saw us leaving. We though the city, which appeared to be a semi-deserted Rome, with a population of only about a thousand I'm guessing and bobbed and weaved around buildings to try to throw them off our tail before hopping over this wall and onto a grassy patch where we pressed ourselves against the wall and waited and listened for the two men to pass. Once they, FINALLY, did we had to discuss a plan to figure out what to do now once we met up with elf-man again, as they were clearly after us for taking care of the guy in the ocean and we stumbled into something we probably shouldn't have.

Then I woke up.

Something rather strange.

This was probably one of my more strange dreams, and there's a lot of time skips so time skips will be signified by
-------------------------[time period skipped]-----------------------------

It started with my mom and I at an airport buying five plane tickets to Italy, for Paige, Caitlin, Kevin, John and myself. I ended up having to call Caitlin to make sure she could go before we bought the ticket, because you never know.

----------------[Short Period after arriving in Italy]-----------------

I had apparently ditched everyone to go meet up with this random woman who took me through an elevator that went down then sideways then up again to open into a random warehouse where there were three guys sitting around the back that I was introduced to, then she went to hit on one of the guys while telling me to go introduce myself to the guys in front.

I walked to the front of the building to see two guys sitting in a shop that was attached to the warehouse. While the guys in the back were more bulky (not creepily so, but still, they were pretty buff and looked like they could punch your face in) these guys looked younger and lanky. It was obvious they could still kick some ass but that wasn't their primary concern. The one behind the counter was setting up some long cords that led to monitors back in the warehouse while the other guy was placing small objects on his person and checking a small laptop to make sure everything was okay. I figured out, after telling them I was the new member of the team, that they were about to send the guy putting stuff all over him on a mission to retrieve information from the target, and if he succeeded we'd get paid even more even though the main purpose was to kill the man we were stealing information from.

All of us except the guy going on the mission then crowded around the TVs in the back while the guy left and we got a first person view of his mission. Once he arrived at the target's building he peered around the front floor windows trying to look for any first floor entrances, though it was pretty obvious he wouldn't find any. He then used the cover of large plants to activate his backpack that produced six large spider legs that would help him scale the wall so he could find the target's office, as this building didn't belong to the target he just owned a few of the offices on the 4th floor. Our guy then had to hide behind pillars and other convenient things whenever guards that were patrolling the outside looked up (which wasn't that frequent, we muttered something about how people should really look up more). Our guy then saw three female triplets enter through the front door via a machine that could crack a lock and one of them looked directly at him but nothing more was heard from them throughout the dream, perhaps they had other stuff to deal with, perhaps they were trying to steal the same stuff we were.

Our guy finally got into the building and into the office using more nifty gadgets from his backpack. He then had to locate the discs that would have the information we needed and while he was looking around he saw a slim PS2, but right above that he saw a plant sitting on one of the bulky PS2s and he opened the bulky PS2 to see FF-XIII, removed that game, closed the PS2 and opened it again which allowed him to unlock the top part of the CD enclosure and find a stack of 3 discs that were the ones we needed.

Unfortunately, it was at this time that our target showed up and got the upper hand on our guy and knocked him out and we lost the feed.

--------------[PoV change, not very far into the future]-------------
Skip to a 3rd person point of view with our tech guy waking up and being strapped to a wall while he notices that all of his tech is on a table on the other side of the room.

And, unfortunately, that's all my dream told me about him in that situation, hope we ended up rescuing him.

-------------[Flashback that doesn't make any sense]-------------
The real reason this doesn't make any sense is because earlier I had introduced myself to these guys, and this takes place with these guys clearly before what just happened.

It started with myself and the tech guy that got captured sitting on a bench next to a raised podium where Spaceboy from Umbrella Academy was giving a speech. We sat around talking about Doctor Who while the other guy from the front of the store who sat up the TV was breakdancing in front of us. We weren't really paying attention to Spaceboy's speech we just knew it was about to end and looked up to see him eating a scarab and then everybody applauding the end of his speech. He then went on to introduce the Queen who had to walk to the podium from the back of the room, but she was an old lady so it took her a few minutes to get up there. The reason that was important is because this chick was supposed to sing while she approached the podium, but what she was supposed to sing was only about four words long so she had to sing the last note for about 3 minutes before she could stop. I then handed the Queen a champagne glass filled with water.

Then I woke up.

Oh Boy~ 3 New(ish) Dreams

Well, two are really new in the sense that I had them last night, one is kinda new in the sense that i had it about a month ago and just posted a small quip about it on facebook.

We're gonna start with the facebook one and go in order of having them, I guess (also, it fills me with weird joy that the word "facebook" is red squiggle underlined).

This dream started with me standing next to Sephiroth while doing absolutely nothing for about 30 seconds before he transitioned to Ezio and we were on top of a roof with some final goal in mind because I had to follow him while jumping from roof to roof. We ended up breaking through a small window and managing to slide through it to end up in a tub, in my bathroom.

It is at this time that Ezio shifted again into Gerard Way and we were sitting on the edge of the tub discussing this one pirate videogame that we couldn't name when Frank Iero walked in and gave us weird looks. I then went walking up and down my street and every few houses, in the space between two houses there was this mysterious fog and a ghost ship appeared and a giant skull hung in front of it and I had to talk to this floating skull a few times before it would tell me the name of the videogame that Gerard and I were talking about (which I learned was called "on strange tides", like the new Pirates of the Caribbean movie).

As soon as I got this information and went back into my house to tell Gerard, my house shook and transformed into a pirate ship that ended up at the top of my neighborhood next to the ghost ship where I got information from, which was manned by zombie pirates. We then had to race the zombie pirates down my street to see who could get to the gate first but the zombies cheated and managed to place a bomb that blew up the ship when we were remarkably close to the end and we floated in the water when we realized this was better because then we wouldn't crash into the gate to get through, we just had to swim under it, and so we still managed to beat the zombie pirates by swimming the last way, but when they finally got through the gate, their ship also destroyed, we decided that because they cheated (and they were zombies) we had to destroy them.

Dream two, the first of last night

This dream started with me stumbling into the forest from a river, pretty beat up and completely out of it. There appeared to be no people or buildings for miles and that I was alone in a vast wilderness until, after a while of stumbling through the forest, two dogs (Divot and Tuttle - the labs from next door) found me and then their owner, Tom Hardy, followed them to where they found me. He had a pretty large house near the road that went thought he forest (still a bit of a distance from the road, but you could at least see it from there) and then behind the house there was a smaller cottage-like building with a main room, a small kitchen and a bathoom where Tom said I could live however long I needed to.

Here is the part where I feel like a missed a major plot point in my dream but time skipped to about half a year from then so I was completely better and it appeared that Tom Hardy and I had a vague agreement but we really weren't very good friends. I think met someone who went by the name of "Panther" and together, he and I called the authorities that showed up at Tom's house where I ran up and told them (with Tom standing near me) that Tom had been doing -enter bad thing here that was that plot thing that I missed- and they took Tom away while I inherited the house and the dogs and gave "Panther" the cottage that I had been staying in as well as this newer building to the left of the house, closer to the road that he used to open up a restaurant.

I feel pretty bad for betraying Tom Hardy after all he did for me, I really wish I knew what I blamed him for.

Final one, Definitely the shortest.

It started with me and four other people being about half way up a thirty story tall building during a Zombie invasion that was slowly working it's way up the building. We were talking to Plastic Man and Beast on walkie talkies and Beast came up with the plan that if Plastic Man, who was outside the building but safe enough from the zombies, could make sure all the zombies get into the building we could make our way to the top of the building to meet Beast on the roof, while setting charges for bombs on our way up. Once Plastic Man made sure the zombies were all in the building, he could then set charges around the first few levels using his stretching skills and then stretch up to come get us from the roof and bring us back down to safety where Beast would then set off the bombs and level the building and the zombies with it, stopping the outbreak. Essentially, we agreed to this and were working our way up when I woke up

A camping we will go.

'Nother zombie dream. Happened when I was napping which was weird.

The first thing I remember happening is waking up in a chair in the middle of a camper and looking around to see 5 people sleeping on beds in the back, two people up front and another guy sleeping in a chair next to me. Also, My cat Wally was sitting in my lap, rather tame. I hopped up and asked what the status was from the two people in the front and apparently they hadn't seen anyone in a while as we were driving through the country in the middle of nowhere headed to less populated towns on the east coast, as the infection had started in the north west and we had heard it hadn't reached to the east coast yet and our driver knew someone who kept a pretty secure house.

I'll stop the explain the infection that seemed to work like this. The sign of the infected was very obvious, as the infected always went for the neck or hands, so people never trusted anybody that covered those two parts of the body, and those were the only signs of infection. For the most part the infected acted relatively normal, especially within the first few days of infection they could still hold conversation and plan, but as soon as they saw someone that was not infected they went on a rampage to kill them. This was especially horrible because that meant during the first few days of infection they would form packs and go hunting in them. They didn't truly lose their minds until about the 5-7 day of infection where they would spend most of their time searching, completely ignoring all other human needs.

Back to the present. We continued driving for another hour or two, though even then it was still around 3 AM so there was virtually no light out and we drove without headlights on, when the road started to narrow even more (as we were taking back roads) and all of the sudden we were blinded by lights and there were people in the road with guns wearing large jackets. We woke everybody up quickly, minus the one child (age 8-11 or so) with us and grabbed guns just in case while people started firing at us when we didn't slow down and they manged to get us pretty bad where we swerved off the road and tumbled down a hill and had to scramble out of the truck, while I grabbed Wally and one of the others grabbed the kid. We managed to make it pretty far from the camper when we found this cargo truck on the side of a road, a man sleeping in the passenger seat and we carefully approached, grabbing and pulling the man (dead with pills in his hand) out of the cab part of the truck then getting everybody else into the truck, which had a convenient hole to get directly back into the cargo area and we checked that out to make sure it was free of infected. We drove longer and got to a state (I believe... Georgia?) on the east coast when something happened abruptly and it was a mass chaos of guns and running and other people, infected and not, and I managed to get away with Wally following after me and the driver who knew the way to the safe house.

Time skipped here until we got to the safe house hours later while hijacking a normal car and the neighborhood was quite, as if it hadn't been touched by the infection which was a good sign as we took that as the infection hadn't gotten that far. We knocked on the door at the end of a cul-de-sac and got buzzed into this caged area where a few teenage guys were standing with guns pointed at us while another older guy walked in, saw our driver and the lack of marks we had on our hands and necks and let us in. He then gave us the tour around the insanely safe looking house and I let Wally have the free roam of the house while we talked of the situation in the garage (which was right next to the bathroom and across from the laundry room, where spongebob was playing on the tv) myself, one of the young girls who was at the house, the old man who's house it was, and the driver were outside checking around seeing what cars would be useful if all else failed and trying to move them too the garage when we heard crashes and I looked behind to see people running at us looking manic while the girl was still 10 feet behind and wouldn't run towards me. I tried to wait as long as I could but it was too late and the infected got her while I had to dive into a truck and lock the doors and hide from sight. It eventually calmed down and the driver came out of the house and knocked no the car door window, giving me the sign I could get back into the house, while now I had to step over hundreds of nails welded upwards in lines to get into the house (as the infected would just step on the nails and cripple themselves). We mourned the loss of the girl and I went to go change into some spare clothes from the lady of the house, who had been ill for over a year (not infected ill, just normal ill) and was up in the master bedroom. We then hear a knock on the door and someone begging for us to let them in and the door is opened and this guy in a large, mischlein man coat, walks into the cage area. Apparently this man was an evil man in general, having poisoned the house owner's wife and causing her to be ill, so the house owner told us to let him into the cage and we watched has he (pretty brutally) killed this infected guy.

Then I woke up.
