An odd dream.
Yeah, I've been pretty terrible with my LJ, even more so since I got a twitter. Anywho, I watch/read tons of Harry Potter stuff the past two days but last night I had a dream mainly involving The Ledger!Joker.
The dream was odd like most dreams are & I only remember few bits. We were 5 people going somewhere in two minivans which broke down in a desert of all places. We spent a few days out there quite comfortably because I had been prepared - I'm a worry-wart by nature. After some time, one of us went out of my sight for a day or so. I didn't notice until later because I thought he was int he other vehicle or hanging out in the shade of a rock formation or something. A day later Ledger-Joker is just sitting on one of the roofs in a fold-out chair like he's been there the whole time. I'm amused, recognize who he is and make normal conversation (as normal as it can be with The Joker). He makes his usual brand of unsettling commentary before hopping down and going through my van and in turn my things.
For some reason I have a screen, a projector and a generator with multiple film reels that I have apparently made. He insists that I set them up. I ask why. He insists again in that tone that suggests I better or else.
It's twilight by the time he's watching them. They're animations I made but I never really see them in my dream. There's lots of laughter from him - though they weren't comedy at all. So I get a little put off and have to remind myself of who he is.
I had a fade-to-black moment here and when it came back officials had finally found us. No idea how much time we were out there. I was in the HQ costume at this point though and nibbling on pop corn (where the fuck did I get pop corn? ) as the lot of us were questioned. Who we were, why we were out here, where we were heading etc. Only now there's just four of us including myself and Joker. The other two consisted of a red-headed woman in a white blazer and the last person I never saw but just knew they were there. Don't even know if they were guy or gal.
So the officers want to take us back to the precinct when we arrive in town. For some reason one of our vans, mine, works now. Our two travelers ride in the officers' vehicle. One of the officers opens the rear door of our van, wanting us in. An exchange takes place between the three of us that I wish I could remember. I remember it being hilarious to me. Some horror movie was brought up, I forget how. I talk about how I like it and even found it kind of hilarious. The officer said he was close with someone who died in the case it was based off of so he didn't care for it. A few more words go back and forth and then I ask Joker's opinion on this whole situation calling him "Puddin' " in the process.
He acted surprised, like he didn't expect to hear that from me or I hadn't called him that before. He immediately regained his composure and outright forced the officer into the back and made sure he wouldn't be any trouble by use of his own handcuffs. He then climbed into the driver's seat and I into the passengers. We talked a little as we followed the other car but eventually I passed the time singing to what, in my dream, I recognized as vaudeville tunes.
Instead of going off or running the police into a ditch or something we followed them all the way to the precinct. The town was really run down; FallOut: New Vegas run down. (Yet their vehicles were in great condition, dreams!) We watched the officer lead our former companions inside. The surrounding area was fairly empty of people. Joker and I exchanged a knowing glance then turned back to our passenger. Joker removes the gun and nightstick from their holsters, passing the stick to me. I pat the officer on the cheek before hopping out of the van and skipping up the steps to the building. Joker follows me at a walk.
And that's where I woke up. I tried to go back to sleep and force it to resume but alas! There you go, my dream.
