Kill Bill
I dreamed that I was in the movie Kill Bill, as "B" the main character played by Uma Thurman. I even had the wicked cool sword, and I remember the scabard being blue with a couple silver Chinese characters on it.
I went into a gift shop, either looking for one of Bill's underlings to kill, or information on him. I forget. But as I was thinking of leaving I noticed that the cashier lady was suddenly doing things that would hint that she was closing up shop. And it was the middle of the day. Suspicion ran through my mind just as someone attacked me from the side.
Then I was fighting this ninja-dressed lady outside in the dark (went from day to night just like that, WTF!). She was the one who'd attacked me in the store. I was standing on the far side of a short bit of road that went around the building (I think the one I'd been in, but we were on the back side of it now). I was close to one corner of this road with the ninja lady, fighting furiously (she had a sword too). I glanced back and saw Bill walk into view at the other back corner of the road.
As I continued deflecting the ninja lady's strikes at me I saw Bill draw two strange looking knives. They had long, thin blades that looked more like fat iron needles with hilts than actual knives. He threw them both at me and I managed to hit them away from me with my sword. I spun around and stabbed the ninja in her throat, then turned around again to see what Bill was going to do next.
He took out some strange throwing star sort of things, but larger, like several ninja stars welded together in the middle so it made a sort of lethal frisbee shaped thing. He had two of these, and threw them at me. I dodged one but the other cut me about half way up my left thigh. It hurt but it wouldn't affect my fighting much except that suddenly I felt drowsy. I realized that he'd drugged the blades on the thing, probably so that he'd incapacitate me if he didn't manage to kill me.
I fell to the ground, it was getting hard to see and I was so tired and dizzy. Things went black as I heard Bill walk up and say something. I don't know what he said, I couldn't concentrate well enough. I passed out.
Then I woke up.

Thoughts: I tried so hard to get back into this dream... and eventually sort of did, but it made very little sense and the fighting bit really didn't make sense. I did end up going toe to toe with Bill and it seemed like there was quite a bit of chemistry between us even though we were trying to kill each other. But yeah, it hardly made sense and isn't worth going into.
But the original dream... wow. That was cool. I was such a top-notch, strong fighter, and I really liked that sword. And I want to know... what happened next!? Meh. Maybe I'll get super lucky and continue it tonight, hopefully with it making some sense. But I doubt it.
After reviewing the symbols, there is the usual dose of feeling vulnerable, that I'm under attack, and have unresolved issues. But the fact that I blacked out at the end of the dream, that's new. The symbol interpretation for "blackout" is "Escapism; Too much sensory input; Feeling unable to cope; Momentarily shutting off your life force or life stream" and I'd say all of those fit, except maybe the last one although that might hint at my wishing I didn't exist or could stop existing. Which is how I feel more often than most people think.
Interesting. I wonder if I will be seeing Bill again.
