(no subject)
Last night I had two lengthy, vivid dreams.
In the first one, it was like I was in a movie. There was a soundtrack and everything. I was some losery schlub guy who meets a member of the royal family who is living in cognito, who teaches me that the most important thing in life is to do whatever it is that you really want to do most, and to know yourself well enough to know what that is, and to not listen to all the other voices drowning out who you are and want to be by telling you who they think you are and who they want you to be.
I really liked this dream. The feel of the movie was that it was set in modern times, but shot during the mid/late 1960's.
The other dream, I was in some building, on one of the higher floors of a tall office or school building with science labs. I had a sense of deja vu, and like I was having another instance of a recurring dream. I knew that shortly some people were going to be killed, and that there was going to be gunfire. I knew that the last time I was in this dream (although I don't actually remember having this dream before, only dreaming that I felt like I *had*, and that I as remembering it again) that I was safe because I had gone into an empty room and locked the door behind me and hid.
So I did this again, and went into one of the science classrooms, locked the door behind me, and went behind the island at the front of the room where the teacher would have lectured or done demonstrations of experiments from, and hid, like "last time". This time, though, things were different and went wrong. Although I had locked the door I went in through, I hadn't noticed that there two other doors, both of which were unlocked. As well, there was a gasline for a bunson burner that was left open, on the teacher's desk, and the room was full of explosive amounts of natural gas. By the time I noticed this, armed men in tactical riot gear were already at the doors, entering, and then I woke up.
