Okay...so last night I had a few dreams...both were rather violent in terms of a normal dream. And both consisted of WWII......big surprise huh?! I hate WW2!!
Okay with sarcasm aside.
So I was with my friends from the japan club, as well as the memebers of the actual club, can't say exactly how many were there. But whatever. There were a bunch. I know for sure, Marina, Ben, Daiki, Sarah, and a few other familiar faces I don't know names of. So were in this absoluely unknown area...though it seemed to be normal in the dream. Must've been a totally random area. Twas the middle of the day, quite bright, but the sky was still overcast. We were doing some sort of activity.....very vague, I know, my apologies...tis 3:30 in the morning, the night after this dream. So we get news of the terrorists getting ahold of an old WW2 airplane bunker. Filled with those huge ass 4 engine bomber planes. Such as the B17, or B29 (the model that dropped the final two bombs of WW2...). So I'm simply like....Damn terrorist, (though I was thinking about how stupid we must've been to have allowed them to get access to the facility). That was then I hear the loud thundering 'hum' of engines, though they obviously weren't car engines and they were coming from the sky...."........fuck......" That was what was in my mind as I look to the sky. And from there you see these planes just kinda, emit from the clouds like the clouds were actually spitting them out. Or it was some strong mist and you couldn't see them until they just popped through. It looked very cool mind you. That was when you heard the panic, and I know I remember hearing Sarah or Miki (Japan Club VP and President, in that order) sream about getting out of the streets. I did myself, the simple, "OMG RUN!!" Line.....Hey....that's death in the skies...you don't have time to think of cool quotes when there's death in the skies.
We get in the building and it was dirty, seemed like a house. I didn't get a good look. Though there was a sliding door right next to me. I was one of the last in, so I was right by it. (dumb huh???) So I just look out, and it goes into a more camera movie style like shot of showing these planes, which were a greenish color...not sure why. But whatever....as they actually swooped down sorta like dive bombers (impossible for a 2-4 engine bomber) and dropped the rolling bombs into buildings and stuff.
History Time! The rolling bomb that I speak of is a large cylinder. It's like the size of a Keg. Probably larger actually. These were used in WW2...and only in it. I, in my dream, stated their use against the Japanese....though I don't think it really ever was. It was actually used by fighter planes and were created for the specific mission of taking out a large-ass damn in Germany. Their mission was to break the damn, but it had to hit near the waterline, and above it. A torpedoe goes too low. While bombs are just too inaccurate. Thus this rolling bomb is made. What happens as the pilot flies down at high speeds, and is only like....30 feet above the surface of the water. (Very dangerous) where sorta like a dive bomber they release this bomb and ascend. This bomb then falls and bounces off the water, rolling, since it's a cyllinder. It bounces and bounces and will finally hit the target. (First plane failed, and the second made a direct hit during the damn mission. IT was also used on German U-boat docks in Northern Germany and Norway, where they had very well defended structures that kept the actual U-boats safe. Doors underwater kept torpedoes from skimming through. So the rolling bomb was used.
Well that was fun!!!
So I watch this carnage, and soon. I see one coming right at us, it drops it's bomb and this thing came rolling towards us. We instantly begin to back away as I see this thing come flying into like trash can or soemthing right next to that sliding door window (mind you, this looked cool in the dream too) I know I kind of at the last minute did something...think it was to protect someone...dun remember. (aww....aren't I heroic?!?!)
No one was hurt I don't think.....and they leave, so we go out and this town is poopy looking...still a bright day out, with overcast. But the city/town/whatever was in ruins for the most part. A real attack on US soil since the Mexican-American War (in the 1850's mind you) That's something that just sits in your mind....(Ok...now to clarify that last statement. Pearl Harbor was horrible, and an attack on our navy and airforce. But Hawaii was still just an annexed island. It wasn't a state until 1950....and 9/11.....that's not an actual war-like attack. It was hijacking of already inflight planes and forced into three buildings. Very horrible I know, and I sort of wish people could get past it....but whatever. Not an attack like this. Yes, the planes were somehow hijacked, but this is an actual war-strategic attack. And apparently in my head it was happening in a lot of places too....whatever)
Some crazy shit happened and a second attack, this time we went into a building much like my dormitory here. Though it was more empty as we went to the basement floor that was like a high school friend's basement....odd....
There was a giant old schooner in there too that was on dry dock and I was on it...looked cool. My dad would love it....and..some other shit....then I woke up!! Then I had another crazy video game/movie WW2 experience.
One crazy ass night of dreams. I thought the first one was rather awesome, I haven't had anything like this in a while. So I figured I'd put it up here on my journal. I needed to update anyways. Sorry for the absurdly huge update...but a lot needed to be said. Night and hope you're all doing well!!!!
