Dream log
Weird, very long dream last night. I'm forgetting it quickly so I'll write down what I remember...
There were four parts to it - the driving, the show, the animal...thing, and the hotel. I don't remember what order they happened in, except for the hotel was last.
The driving I really don't remember. We were either in a car or a boat, and either I was the one driving or my aunt was. I just remember us stopping to talk to someone for some reason, like my mom went to school with them or something. Stuff happened, I forget what.
The show I remember being something weird, like a high school football game that was also a concert and like, wrestling? I think I'm remembering that right...well, we had crap seats and I had made like shoe covers in school colors and people were impressed.
The animal thing...um...I don't remember like any of this except it was some sort of place we were at that had a lot of animals in different places. At some point there were giant pit bulls, like the size of cows or something, in one fenced-off area. I had a llama for some reason, a very small llama that was the height of a big dog (yes this was all very mixed up) and I was going to get it as a pet...and for some reason I was playing with the pit bulls and I couldn't find my llama and I was like "omg where's my llama?" so I was running around shouting "Llama!!" to try and find it. I was afraid it had gotten into the pit bull area because it was small and they were big and I knew pit bulls could be dangerous and while they were perfectly nice while I was looking at them, I didn't want anything to happen to my llama. This didn't sound nearly as ridiculous in my head... but anyway in the end the llama was okay and something weird happened that I forget involving the entire planet we were on at that time. I forget what it was but I imagine it was probably Spore inspired.
The hotel...I should have written this first, when I remembered it better. First there was some strange conversation with my mother involving burping and the PTSA. I don't know. Then we all went up to our hotel rooms (because this all happened the same day and now we were going to the hotel). At this point, it was me, my brother, my mom, my aunt, and Sandra, all of whom had been present at various parts of the dream (actually was Sandra..? I don't know but she was here now) and then that night, I forget why I'm awake... but Sandra is too and our hotel rooms were at the end of the hall, and the elevators at the other end, and we go down to the elevators which have a set of stars next to them.
And for some reason she goes downstairs, or maybe I go downstairs or she goes upstairs because it ends up she's a floor above me but my brain has crap continuity so I don't know. The important part is that we end up on two different floors. And then I look down the hall (which is dark, because only the elevator part is lit) and I see something, and then a lion (a lioness, technically) comes running down the hall. I'm like "what..?" because for some reason know the lion isn't going to hurt me, but I don't know what it means.
So it runs down the hall and I start calling Sandra, I think I was whispering loudly...I don't know if it was because of the lion, or because it was nighttime. But I'm trying to get her attention and she's like "what's going on?!" and but the lion runs to the end of the hall, past me, stops to turn around, and then vanishes. And I don't remember telling her what happened but I guess my dream-brain assumed I did because from this point on she knows what I saw. And we're confused so we go down a floor, but she's still on the floor above me. And I'm kind of freaked out because I know the lion is trying to say something but I don't know what, and I don't know if it's bad or good. But we go down a floor and it happens again, and Sandra doesn't see again, and that might happen another time on the next floor (you'd think I'd wait for her to catch up) but eventually she looks down from the stairs and through the doorway and sees it run by, or something.
And then I get to the ground floor, and it happens again and this time the lion stops next to me and it roars. Actually I opened my mouth and something like a roar came out too, but the lion also roared. I think it had roared on other floors too, a couple times. But when it stopped it was visible from the stairwell and Sandra sees it this time, and she gets downstairs and I think it leaves again but we realize there was a stripe of color somewhere on it - its back, I think, and while that hadn't been there the whole time, my brain ret-conned so that it HAD been there on every floor, changing colors.
So Sandra says, "What does it mean?" and I look at the color and back at the stairwell, and realize that each floor has had a different color - you know, like in a parking garage when they'll sometimes have the number of the floor written in big letters on a colored wall to help you remember where you park, the hotel had been like that. And the lion's color (according to my brain rewriting history) had always been the color of the floor that we had just been on. Somehow we knew the lion was trying to tell us to go somewhere, and so I came to the conclusion that the color on its back was where it wanted us to go - and that meant that it was consistently telling us to go upstairs, which meant that it wanted us to go to the top floor, which was the floor our room was on (despite the fact that I'm pretty sure Sandra went up the stairs at first, but oh well). So I said "I think it wants us to go back to bed." I think the lion was gone at this point. We were both like "okay" and we went back to bed, because this whole thing had creeped us out and if the lion wanted us to go back to bed where we were safely with my family, that meant that the lion's intentions were good. And Sandra and I love lions and both wanted the lion's intentions to be good, and wanted it to be trying to help us like Aslan. :D Except a girl. So we went back to bed and I remember thinking that I wasn't positive that was what the lion meant, but it must have been, and I hoped I was right because that meant the lion was good though it was a little scary to think what would have happened if we had left the building when the lion was trying to tell us not to. I remember that the whole experience had creeped me out a bit and I wondered if there was room to share a bed with Sandra so I didn't have to be alone. xD Then when I got in bed in the dream, I woke up in real life.
WAIT...the game...I don't remember when this happened, but at some point my brother and I were playing some sort of game...it was like an MMO but when I dream about playing video games I dream about being the character in first person, yet still with the knowledge that I'm playing a game. I don't remember the game at all...but it was probably inspired by the way the creatures kill other animals and eat them in that stage of Spore. It was something like that, we were hunting other creatures... there was more to it, but I can't remember. I wish I did. I have this sort of dream a lot and the games are always really fun xD;
So that is my TL;DR dream log. 8D Usually my dreams are like the other sections, I don't usually get anything nearly as intensive or well-thought-out as the lion bit. Usually it's like "I dreamt I had gotten a kitten" or "I dreamt that I just remembered I'd bought a bird before Yuki and now I have to find it but it's obviously dead because I've had Yuki for years" or "I dreamt my mom and I were in a hotel caring for tons of reptiles"
...I dream about animals a lot o_O
