Another Jarian Dream....
I don't think I've ever had a dream that could quite be described as "adorable", nor brought exactly that word to mind upon waking--until now. I always dream in pairs (sometimes more), meaning that the dream will start as one dream, go along for a while, then make a sudden transition into a totally different dream. This was the latter half of one such pair. I don't remember the first half at all except that it involved my entire immediate family, myself included.
As in all my dreams, this one had a little bit of back-story; for some reason China and the US (presumably; it was never stated in my dream) were at war, and I was present on the field during one battle. I wasn't really involved in the dream (at this point), I was just kind of the invisible observer. Anyhow, for some reason China sent their demolitions expert (who also happened to be the sister of the field commander (or some similar title--I hesitate to call her the general)) to do something that would be a decisive victory in the battle. The US(?) did the same thing, to do the same thing, but in a different way. So the two met in a tunnel under a little hill a mile or two from the battlefield, the place where the explosives and stuff were supposed to be laid. They were working towards the same goal, pretty much, and neither liked fighting, so they saw no reason to work against each other and each rigged up one end of the tunnel, in a line towards each other to meet in the middle. The US guy had his US way of going about setting it up, and the China gal had her China way of going about things, and although different, they were both effective. Whatever it was they were doing, it required blowing things up occasionally. My perspective as observer was stationary on top of the hill, looking at a little stone smoke-stack-thingy sticking out the top of the ventilation shaft (for some reason, directly underneath the smoke stack thingy, there was a big slab of rock--I would think that would make ventilation difficult :-P ), so every time they blew something up, the slab would jump a foot or two and the whole hill would shake, and the little smoke-stack-topper thing would fly high into the air, and then land right back where it was (it was made out of stone, so I dunno why it never shattered, or why it always landed back in the correct position again).
Anyhow, over the course of the days it takes to get this demolition thing set up, the two demo experts fall in love, while overhead, China wins the battle decisively, and both forces clear out. Unaware that their project is no longer necessary, the two lovers make one final explosion, and then it's all ready for the big boom. The Chinese general is surveying the field, looking for her sister, and spots the hill shaking and the ventilation shaft topper shooting high into the air, and rolls her tank over to investigate. The US(?) demo expert crawls out of the ventilation shaft right in front of the general, and reaches down to help the Chinese girl out. The general reaches for her gun and prepares to shoot the American(?), and at that point I step into the dream and gesture for her to wait just a moment. She didn't seem surprised by my presence, so I assume I was there all along in the background in the dream, or my entrance into the dream at that point wrote me into the back-story, but either way, I was suddenly a friend of the US demo expert who he had found someone along the journey (whether here or elsewhere), and had adopted as his son. Anyhow, I gesture for the general to hold her fire just a moment, and confused, she does. The US demo expert lifts the Chinese demo expert out of the shaft, and she and the general hug each other, and explain that she has fallen in love with this man. Apparently it's no longer an issue that she loves the enemy, because they US(?) has been defeated.
The scene jumps ahead slightly at this point to where we're meeting his new Chinese family. She apparently already had several kids (though she'd never been married, I gather), and I hugged her oldest son (13 years), and said hello in broken Chinese (the Chinese word for "hello" in my dream was "Mao Tse-Tung" o.0), and we hugged tight as he rattled off a whole string of Chinese, none of which I recognized, but laughed good naturedly to anyways. Then I hugged her other son (11), and he jumped into my arms and I hugged him close and it was just the most wonderful, perfect, adorable moment, I just held him throughout the rest of the dream. He was radiating "I always wanted a brother" (in Koda's voice), though why he'd be saying that when he already had a brother I dunno. :-P But either way it was cute. Especially so because it finally sank in that this was my new family (apparently I'd never had one before), and he and I really were going to be brothers. They reminded me incredibly of a younger version of my Arizona cousins, who have about the same age split. I think I even referred to them by my cousins names, because I was struck by the similarity. There was a middle daughter/new sister involved, too, but the dream ended before I got a chance to hug her or meet her.
Because my dual-dreams always have to be contiguous, there is generally a point at the very end of the second dream (and any latter) where it connects to the first dream. So at this point my parents, who up until this point hadn't been involved, were mad because they had made reservations at this lodge up in the mountains, and were going to have to miss it because of their son's wedding (the US(?) demo expert looked nothing like my older brother, but apparently to make the dreams connect, he had to fulfill that role), and so refused to go to the wedding because they'd been planning their whole lives for this hiking trip. Nobody really minded. My oldest brother and his wife were there, to, but I dun remember anything they said (which is unusual, because my sister-in-law is very vocal :-3 ). The dream ended at this point, with me still holding my new younger brother in my arms, and the whole world perfect and complete as he cuddled against me and everything just felt...adorable. That's the word I woke up with, and the word that still remains.
