How do I begin?
Trying to explain a dream is like trying to type up and report on a movie that you missed the beginning and end of, and also fell in and out of sleep during.
Dominic, tony and I are in a condo outside of downtown chicago. for some reason all the surrounding areas are vacant and we are the tallest building around. We're looking at the city skyline from the condo windows- which are ceiling to floor.
Its dark but I can see lights of a plane heading towards the city. I noticed something detach from the plane and head towards the buildings- before I could even process what was going on, all of downtown chicago was in flames.
I have never felt this terrible in all my life.
Not in dreaming, not even in real life- have I ever been so upset.
I started yelling before balling my eyes out. "what the hell happened?! what the hell just happened?"
Everyone seemed upset but almost half expecting of it.
"ALL of my parents work downtown!" I couldnt stop thinking about my mom.
On top of the condo is a unguarded and unstable roof top.
I ran up to it to get a better look. Somehow you could see zoomed in clips of the burning building but it was like a slide show, so I couldnt see what i wanted. "city hall! city hall!" I kept screaming.
We couldnt leave the condo since the army told everyone to stay inside. Somehow I ended up in a downstairs apartment where Jedd and some others were hanging out. None of them seemed upset. Apparently Jedd and I were still dating- and everytime everyone would start talking I would start balling my eyes out. I kept thinking about my parents.
Within a couple minutes of me explaining what happened, jedd walked up and said something about not dating anymore, cause he found a new girlfriend.
I only stayed there a little bit longer but this new girlfriend kept coming up to me telling me how sad it was that everything happened, and how upset she was when chicago went into flames. Then tried to give me the whole- I know its weird im dating jedd but we can still be friends.
Then I got up- looked everyone in the eyes and yelled- " I dont want to be your FRIEND. I dont want to know any of you. my stepdad just died, fuck you." and walked out.
But the minute I left I no longer felt sad about anything.
It got brighter
And it was day outside.
Dominic and I went to the city to check the damage.
Everything was in ruins. Ash was everywhere and people crowded the no longer visable streets. There were army men everywhere- yelling and directing peopl around. We strayed off, talking about the whole thing and moving away from the crowds and shouts.
Suddenly dom stops me and puts his finger to his lips. Theres a man in an ash covered suit coming around the corner. We followed clos behind as he met up with what kinda looked like a man but more like a doll. He said something to it and the back of the doll/man's head opened up.
Some electronic face came out and told him directions. Dom and I decided to follow him some more, but didnt expect to be led into a group of ash covered others. A man was standing on a pile of rubble, shouting to the crowd. They were discussing plans that we understood to be an attack on our military. The strangest thing about it was that they werent REAL people, but looked like it.
It cuts to me finding an army officer and leading him to the place. He gets taken away and im guessing killed or something- I never saw him again, but the third time dom and I came back to the doll/man to try and open the back of the head ourselves- we get caught. A man comes running up and I grab the head of the doll/man and crack it open.
Inside are chocolates shaped like little cubes on a metal stick. Little engravings, like hieroglyphics on the cubes. I threw the guy chasing me the chocolate and he stopped suddenly and started eating it. I had to keep throwing them to him to stay safe. Everytime I took one off the stick, another reappeared.
Then I woke up.
