Dreams
I had a really weird dream last night. I woke up and I was at Skidmore. At first I was just really happy to be back on campus, even though it was still summer. I went to Wiecking and asked the Res-Life folks if I could get a look at my room, I was just curious, but they told me that someone was using it for summer session (do we even have one?). After that I wandered around campus for a while till I got bored, realized there were still a good 3 months till school started and decided I should try to get home. Then I realized "Oh shit.. I'm 13 hours from home, I have no idea how I got here, I seem to be in my pajamas and I don't have my wallet, just my cellphone. Mom's gonna be pissed." I kid you not, that was my exact thought in the dream. I debated about calling her and thought about what I'd say when I talked to her, as she undoubtedly ask what the hell I was doing at Skidmore and how I got there with out any of that stuff. At first I thought maybe I'd driven, but I had no memory of driving there. I looked around for my car for a while, but couldn't find it. So I tried thinking back to what I'd been doing before I found myself at Skidmore. "I'd gone to bed... and I'd woken up... and I was here. Oh. I'm dreaming." It was incredibly weird. That was one of the most realistic dreams I've ever had and I was completely cogent through out it. It was like my brain had made another world for me and stuck me in it. That almost never happens to me (or when it does, I don't remember). Anyway, after I figured out that I was dreaming I tried doing the stuff I often can do when dreaming, you know swim through the air, jump really high, fly, fall and miss the ground, etc... None of it worked, and for a while I was kinda worried that maybe I wasn't dreaming. I tried desperately to wake up for a while, but that didn't work either. But shortly after that it took on a sufficiently dream like quality that I stopped worrying about it and sat back to watch my dream like I normally do when I'm dreaming (normally when I dream its more like I'm watching a movie, in third person and stuff than like I'm actually there).
Even then it still seemed to center around Skidmore. There was some really random stuff in the middle and then at the end I found myself in a city (Chicago I think). It was dark and snowy and I recognised where I was but couldn't quite place it for a moment. Then it hit me, I was on Skidmore's campus again. I was escorting someone... who seemed to be a newly risen vampire from the Buffyverse. Except not quite, cause he was resisting the urge to feed. And I seemed to have wolverines powers from the X-men (that was fun). Again the dream had a more realistic quality than my dreams usually do. We went in to case center, not sure why, and he was trying hard to resist biting people... and kinda losing the battle and I was threatening him that if he couldn't resist I'd have to beat the snot out of him. And then I woke up (for real this time).
It was one of the weirdest, most entertaining, and most fun nights I've ever experienced. And I remember almost all of it. I hope this happens more :D
