Fandom Dreams.
I had a lucid dream the other night, a Generation Kill & McDanno!Hawaii 5-0 fandom dream (although not a crossover!).
I was in bed, trying to fall asleep when a friend (supposedly sleeping in the next room) freaked me awake. Out of nowhere he's in my bed, next to me, talking to me. Wondering what the hell he's doing there I rub my eyes and look about me. Everything is foggy, but he's not there. My bedroom is littered with things, it almost looks like it did when I was a kid. Everything seems a bit off, and as I realize that it is indeed a dream it turns lucid.
I feel an urgent need to get out of my room, so I go back to my bed to get my G-shock (idk why I needed it but in my dream it made sense). But for some reason it's not there, and when I can't find it I instead grab Generation Kill off by bedside table.
Since this is a lucid dream I figure that I won't be able to read the book. But still wanting to check if it's legit I flip it open. The text in the book is swirling about the otherwise white pages and it creates black ripples across the pages. I can discern the words "humvee" and "Brad" though. Suddenly there is a readable sentence, amongst the flowing ink on the page. It reads "when on tumblr..." (yeah, I know) but next the text is transforming and I start flipping through the book to find more readable text. Now, this is where the dream turns fandom.
Suddenly the pages turn into a semi-animated GENERATION KILL comic about Brad's Humvee team. It's Brad, Ray, and Walt mostly (although I spot Nate in the background trying to get them out of trouble). They are in Bangkok, Thailand and Ray is unsurprisingly up to no good. There is talk of prostitutes and how they should spend their time in libo, but when Walt gets exasperated with the others Ray is suddenly hijacking some sort of bus to make it up to him (??). Here madness ensues, but the comic is getting increasingly blurry...
Flipping backwards through the book next I'm greeted by HAWAII 5-0 at the end. It's Steve and Danny, and they are in a communal shower type place (H50 headquarters has a shower apparently?). Steve discards his clothes and steps into the stream next to Danny. Their eyes sort of meet and suddenly they are kissing. Deeply. Passionately. A PRETTY DAMN HOT KISS!
But suddenly there is movement in the locker room, and they are both alert. Steve rushes out into the locker room, grabbing a towel and getting his gun out. There is someone there, and Steve and the other man start grappling. Somewhere around here my brain decides it doesn't want me to meta the dream anymore and kicks me out. So I wake up. Pretty damn wound up and uncomfortable.
But DAMN. 30 min nap made of awesome. If only the real Generation Kill had some scenes like that (haha, the guys in libo would definitely be something I'd pay to read).
The abrupt endings to the dream left me with a serious craving for some well written fanfics on the subject though...
