Dream Journal 5/21/2011: Transformers, Video games I've never played, and Desperate Housewives
I had a dream that I remembered parts of! It was weird and mildly disjointed and had three parts that I can recall.
The first part I was in Rapture (you know, from Bioshock) despite never having played the game myself. I was running around with friends, shooting the fuck out of enemies and accidentally shot a Big Daddy. The next five or ten minutes were spent dodging his attacks in abject horror as I tried to bring him down.
The second part I blame on my mom watching the two most recent (I think) Desperate Housewives while I was in the room. I was with what my mind said were friends but were actually people I didn't know. One of them freaked out because some ex-husband or something of hers who abused her and all sorts of horrible things had found her with the help of this obnoxious whiny little piece of shit from our neighborhood who looked a lot like M. Night Shyamalan. The ex dragged her away and we yelled at the M. Night dude and told him who the guy he'd helped was and he felt horrible. SO my group of friends and I went and rescued our friend then took the captured dirtbag to an empty warehouse where we proceeded to torture him (though my dream sort of faded into a weird Disney Acid Sequence instead of actually showing the torture). The cops came and we bull-shitted our way out of it.
The third part I was running with a few different friends (still people I don't actually know) around a parking lot full of garbage trucks when we were supposed to be in school or something. We climbed onto one of the trucks just in time to avoid getting seen by some of the lot's security. They knew we were there though, but the truck we were on got us out of there because it was actually a Transformer and we were plucky human sidekicks. Turns out there had been a big fight between Autobots and Decepticons that had crippled both sides and the military had taken most of the badly injured and repaired them only to reprogram them to follow the military's instructions. So the two sides of Transformers had joined forces to take out the military that was doing this to their friends. Later on we passed an accident site from a few more of our friends (my dream identified the wrecked Transformers we found as Sideswipe and Jolt, and I can't remember the third). All of the sudden I was Starscream, come to help get the injured TFs out of there. We had to hide though because a military group went by with some injured TFs on a truck, taking them to the base to be repaired/mind-controlled. In the truck I recognized Skywarp and Thundercracker and was kind of just immediately like "OH HELL NO THEY ARE NOT TAKING TC AND WARP" so I went after them and attacked the military trucks.
Then I woke up.
