today's dream journal
okay, so this morning i had a very odd dream. it was sort of a half-asleep sort of dream, the kind that goes on between the moments where i hit the snooze button.
the first thing i remember is that i'm opening an envelope and there is a letter from Cain.. i was VERY excited about it, because it was all written in cain-letters "I love daddy, from cain" ... so that part was good, and then suddenly the dream went into an action movie as bruce willis showed up and started dragging me around, and we were being shot at and driving a police car around on top of buildings and there was an assassin in a helicopter trying to kill me. Luckily, i was with bruce willis, who apparently knows how to take out helicopters while driving a car on rooftops, and he delivered me safely home. When i walked in, though, audrey was really angry with me. I was trying to learn what the problem was, which was taking forever because she was alternately yelling at me for being an awful father and husband, and then crying. Turns out she had hired the assassin to kill me and was upset because it didn't work, and she'd spent so much money on him. As soon as she'd gotten this out, i guess she felt better, because she further explained that she'd found the letter to me from cain, except she was sure it was from some lover i was trying to keep secret. I tried to point out that the writing was definitely cain's, and that not a lot of people call me daddy, but that somehow made it worse, and she decided to hire another assassin. For some reason, i really felt bad that she was having such a hard time killing me, so i helped her look for a better assassin. We found this guy that looked just like russel crowe from Gladiator, except it was actually Bruce Willis. Once audrey had hired him, it seemed like a good idea to start running, so i did that, but first i snuck into cain's room and thanked him for the letter. It seemed monumentally important at the time that i thanked him, cause it didn't seem like audrey was going to realize it was a) from him and b) a really impressive achievement. Then somehow i was running around on rooftops again, but without a car, and instead of a helicopter chasing me it was bruce willis in a gladiator costume, with a sword and bow. I somehow kept narrowly avoiding getting hit, and i would sometimes get a chance to throw something at him and i hit him a couple times. The the whole scene changed and everything started to look more like ancient greece or something... at least, i guess i somehow knew it was ancient Greece, but i think all that really happened was i ran out of rooftops and was now running on the ground. Well, bruce willis decided that i must be superhuman to keep avoiding him, so he tried shooting me in the heel, which definitely worked, cause i fell down, and then suddenly he ran up and cut my heel off - i guess just to make sure. i remember thinking how cool it was that i got to be like achilles, and then realizing that it didn't actually hurt, and i started to examine my cut-open heel, which was definitely cut off, but wasn't really bleeding, and i could see the bones and muscles - and i swear the dream would have suddenly turned into a biochemistry lesson, but then i woke up for real and had to leave for work.
