Dream Journal 4/22/2011: Lazytown? And spiders.
This was a really really weird dream. I had been looking up some stuff about LazyTown (yes, the kid's show; it's a guilty pleasure of mine) and its actual Icelandic origin as Latibær. So that explains...the presence of the original Icelandic versions of Sportacus and Robbie Rotten in this dream...absolutely nothing else, but whatever.
So first off I was part of a group being led by Íþróttaálfurinn (Icelandic Sportacus) through, like, the Alps or something. Apparently we were trying to find a new place to live. Glanni Glæpur (Icelandic Robbie) was another member of the group, except it was him and his sister. He really hated Íþróttaálfurinn and was trying to get him ousted from being the leader by causing a lot of trouble or something. Except somehow he got shot at one point, in the hip, and pretty much had to stop. And his sister was telling him to stop being an idiot. We founded a new town and set-up a monarchy or something, and then everyone started dying because of spiders or something. The king and queen, the lead knight, and a rabbit. Don't ask, it was the cutesy-yet-badass mascot character.
Fast forward several years, the monarchy was forgotten and the town had this massive spider sanctuary. It was like those big glass butterfly houses you can go in to walk around with the butterflies, except instead of butterflies it was spiders. Which is a really stupid idea honestly. A group of my friends had gone in ahead of me, and I went in with a pair of little bratty kids. The moment I went in one of the workers told me not to panic and went to hit a spider off my shirt but ended up squishing it, leaving a massive gooey-wet spot on the front of my shirt. Blergh, it was disgusting. I could actually feel it in my dream.
We made it through to my friends (at the spider-themed gift store) and then we left the area, after a good check as to whether there were any spiders hitching rides or not. Then we were at lunch, and all of the sudden my group of friends were all the humanized trolls from the Swapstuck Homestuck AU, and Gavin was starting to light up some weed. And for some reason, despite being Travis, I could walk and I got up and for some bizarre reason or another (I really don't know why) I started seriously lecturing Gavin, like really chewing him out about smoking here. At this point the POV shifted to 3rd person and I started floating up and away from the scene of Travis yelling at Gavin.
Then I was some guy, and a group of four friends and I, plus a guide, were climbing around the mountains. A huge storm started up and we went into a nearby cave to wait it out. We found ourselves actually in the ruins of the castle where the monarchy had been. We find out that it was an evil witch who had caused all the deaths and then gone into a hibernation. We also learned that apparently we were the reincarnations of the king, queen, and the three most loyal knights. The guide agreed to lead us through the castle to defeat the witch. We started off to a big old trapdoor. Right before I went in the door it slammed shut and I couldn't open it. Whenever I tried to open the door, the creepy as fuck ghost of the bunny from before started coming down the stairs. And I mean this ghost was right out of an Asian horror movie, it was a bunny yes but it was SCARY and I had a seriously bad feeling about what would happen if the ghost got a hold of me. I screamed to the others that I was trapped above, and they called back that they'd find another way back.
While I was waiting I explored the floor I was on. I found a bathroom and several empty rooms. I also found the witch's room, with her still asleep on the bed. I was very tempted to stab her through the heart, but I thought about it and realized it probably wouldn't work and would probably be bad, and we probably didn't have the weapon that was needed to kill her for good yet. Then all of the sudden the ghost started coming down the stairs despite the fact that I wasn't touching the trapdoor. And as it reached the floor I was on, it spread. So I curled up in a fetal position by the trapdoor to keep it from touching me, and just started kind of freaking out. Then one of the other members of the group made it up to the floor I was on, and the ghost disappeared. They were completely understanding, and agreed to keep watch outside the bathroom as I used the toilet. The moment I closed the door and lifted the (weirdly completely modern) toilet's lid, the grate that was in the center of the floor began rattling and a creepy mutated meat creature (that reminds me a lot of something from a horror video game a la Silent Hill or Amnesia or Penumbra) began trying to break the grate off and get into the room.
I shrieked, and the other guy rushed in, and we tried to figure out how to kill the monster with no weapons. After getting increasingly panicky and stressed we started arguing, and he angrily suggested that "oh, well fuck maybe we should pee on it then!" So...we did...and it worked...o_O
That's...about it.
This was a fucking weird dream.
