Okay. I just had a pretty effed up dream. I don't really know if it was one of my worst or not, considering all my dreams are pretty... out there, but... god. I feel like I'm nuts or something. And I'm actually kinda scared.
It's really, REALLY long, by the way. So read at your own discretion. But seriously, if you can spare the time, read it all. It's actually kinda cool, except there's one really gross part :D;
Okay, so it starts off in this giant mall of death or whatever. I didn't recognize it as West Ed, the giant mall here, but it was definitely bigger than a normal building. I can't remember exactly how it started out, but Mario and Luigi were there. They were trying to capture two of those monkeys (Ukiki?) and Chikky and I were trying to protect them. I suppose we were their opponents or something.
Anyway, one of the monkeys goes inside this fancy movie theater, so I go in, followed by one of the bros. The place is full of people, and there's a bunch of separate balconies and staircases. The lights are dimmed because there's a show going on. We're running around the tables after the monkey, and I can clearly see the curious/angry/amused expressions of all the people sitting at the tables. Eventually I think the monkey got away, or something, because suddenly the four of us (me, Chikky and the bros.) were getting along perfectly, and we decided it was time to go play arcade games. o.o
And for some reason, while we were standing there watching Mario play a Jurassic Park game, Luigi asked me on a date. I accepted, but instead of spending time with me, he joined Mario on Jurassic Park. >_>
So Chikky and I are sitting around waiting, because... it's Mario and Luigi. They excel at video games, having been in so many. So they're on... level 47 or something of this game. (I don't even know how many levels there are, it's one of those shooter arcade games with the plastic guns...) Anyway, the guy next to them is playing a similar game, except in it, you control the dinosaurs. Your party consists of a group of dinosaurs and lizards, and your objective is to get them to this cave at the very end. Apparently there's a time hole there, so the dinosaurs will live. It actually looked fun!
He actually ended up finishing the game. At this point the dream-camera was focused on this lizard game, so I could clearly see the ending. The cave was shaped like a dinosaur's mouth (triceratops to be exact), and all of the reptiles climbed up this incline and stepped inside. The cave closed up behind them. And suddenly they're inside this space-like area- if you've ever played Xenosaga II, it looked sort of like the sub-final area with the red floors, except everything was ice blue instead.
So apparently he wasn't happy, because they're supposed to end up in present-time Earth, not here. He screwed something up, so he got the "bad ending". So there's a whole bunch of... really screwy-looking creatures here. Most of them are sort of reptilian, but.. I don't even know how to describe them. They're just these deformed monsters. Their mouths looked more like ripped open wounds. And they're all different sizes, too... there's this gigantic one, and an army of little ones.
Their commander is the only one who looks even relatively normal. He's this.. alien thing, with charcoal-colored skin and a red mask over his eyes. He's really muscular and has no hair, so he just kinda looked like some kind of superhero to me. XD He informs the dinosaurs that they cannot pass through here without being killed, but since he's feeling NICE, he'll let them turn back and leave. They all immediately turn around and go, of course.
Though what the guy didn't tell them was that you cannot enter this particular area without having the chemical makeup of your body completely rearrange itself. They were doomed from the moment they stepped in. So it shows them coming back out of the hole, but now they're monsters instead of lizards. And their size changes, too... the largest dinosaur in the party grew about ten sizes, so he destroys the entire mountain as he rips himself out of the time hole.
Pretty freaky.
So then we finally leave. We're trying to find someplace else to go in the mall, but we pass by this place that sells "ice cream donuts". Oh man. I looked in the display there, and I wish that place existed. They had ice cream pies, actual donuts just covered in thick layers of ice cream, a whole bunch of awesome-looking desserts... *_* I begged everyone to buy me something, but they all said no because we didn't have the money. I pretty much threw a tantrum and got mad at everyone. XD;
But we found this new place, which was like another theater/restaurant, but right now there were no shows so all they were doing was playing music and serving food.
(Okay, at this point I think I woke up for a split second and then went back to sleep, because the level of wtf in the dream escalated by about a million, and the story went in a completely different direction, so... yay. It was still in the same area, though.)
Anyway. For some reason, I had to leave because I was going to be performing at this theater and I had to get dressed and prepared. I got into this little frilly red dress, which was actually really cute! Then, this one guy who was performing with me told me to follow him to our starting position.
We went down into this basement area... there was this big round red and white table, and we had to hold onto it. A glowing hole in the ceiling opened up, and it started sucking in air, like a vacuum. It was supposed to work like this.. the vacuum would carry us up, along with the table, and the rest of the troupe would catch the table on a big trampoline they had up there on the stage. Then we were supposed to do tricks by bouncing the table around and stuff.
But apparently the suction was difficult to control, because the hole kept moving around, and this guy and I were moving around trying to get under it. Eventually it picked us up, but I accidentally let go of the table. He got pulled up by himself with it, and I... still got pulled up on my own. o_o The table would be fine since it has a lot of weight, but I was pretty much thrown into the theater and propelled right toward the ceiling. Everyone went silent for a moment...
And then I kinda stopped myself at the ceiling, and propelled myself back down toward the trampoline. I bounced off and went flying across the room again... but it was okay, because I felt weightless in the air. So I can fly! I flew around the room for a bit, showing off, and finally landed on the trampoline with everyone else. Now, for some reason, there's this tall guy with a top hat standing on the stage. I'm sitting on the trampoline and having fun, thinking maybe he's part of the act, but as we go by, he reaches out and touches my arm. It gave me a really creepy chill that almost felt real..
So I jump off the trampoline and run to "Daddy". My dad here is a big guy who looks identical to the freaky guy onstage, except he's wearing a blue suit instead of black, and no hat. I tell him what happened and point the guy out, and he's like "Run, sweety. Don't worry about the show and just get out of here."
So now my heart's just jumping. I ran toward the door, but as soon as I got out into the sunlight, this skeleton thing standing outside the door grabs my arm. I kicked it and kept running, and the guy from the stage is chasing me now... everyone's watching me and talking about what's going on. I'm trying to fly away, but I'm failing for some reason now and I land on the earth again. This... voice in my head... kinda says that I don't have enough hope or something, and that's why I can't fly like I normally can. So I shut my eyes and suddenly propel myself above the clouds. I escape, yay.
So now I'm flying. But where to? (Oh man it got so unbelievably stupid now that I'm not even sure I want to write about it.) I try to go downward, which is a bad idea because I lose a lot of control. I fall almost completely to the ground, and then I start floating above this... giant endless field of PLUSHIES. There's a ton, so I grab three of them: Special Keecat, Kittie and a really deformed looking fox plush. (
Picture where you can see special keecat and Kittie. Yeah, I own them for real.)
I fly with my plushies until I reach this old looking building. It's pretty tall and it looks abandoned, so I go inside. Suddenly I'm inside this fancy office building. All the walls and floors are dark blue, and the ceilings are covered with fluorescent lights. I don't remember why I was doing this... but for some reason I was scared, maybe, so I started flying up through the ceiling and onto the next floors. I could here these voices in the hallways that sounded like a female voice over the intercom, but the messages were weird and didn't make sense... they changed every three or four floors, and so did the light patterns on the ceiling. I don't even remember what a lot of them were saying.
Anyway, I was flying pretty slowly and was feeling weak, so I landed (miraculously, the floor had healed itself right after I broke through). I walked to the end and into a room, where there was this one boy standing right by the doorway. The room itself started as a balcony overlooking the rest of the room, and there was a Z-shaped stairway with fancy railings heading down.
I talked to him, and he said he was nervous because he had to make a presentation of some sort. His english was kinda bad and he talked slowly... I suppose this was a room for special needs children. I felt bad for him, so I opted to give him a plushie.. I gave him Special Keecat, but he seemed hurt because he said it looked "dumb". XD So I gave him Kittie instead, the nicest one. He was so happy, he was petting her and everything. Aww... He told me to go downstairs and talk to the girl in there, because I was nice and she needed some company from people like me.
(This is the kind of disgusting part. If you're squeamish, skip the next couple of paragraphs. o_o;)
I went down the stairs, and I see this little girl sitting in a wheelchair. Although, something didn't look right about her. She came closer, and... I got a bit scared. She had no body attached about her hips- it was only her lower torso sitting there in the chair, and her head was in her lap. I couldn't tell if it was attached to anything or not - it kinda looked like it was attached to her legs, but she could move it around so I didn't think so. Other than that though, she was really cute. Perfectly straight short blonde hair, and a really adorable looking face.
We introduced ourselves. I told her my name was Angela (I always have different names in my dreams). Her name also started with an A, but I don't remember it. I keep thinking she said Abigail, but I don't know... Anyway, she said she had been in an accident, and I told her she still looked beautiful despite that. She seemed really happy, but she wanted to tell me what happened, because she "shouldn't still be beautiful". She had been sitting next to a big movie screen, and for some reason, as she told me her story, images of it popped up on the screen.
She told me she had been taken by slave laborers and was rented out to various places to do work. Once she was working at some kind of processing plant out in the desert, and had to turn heavy cranks on this big machine to turn sand into bricks. A couple of the boys there were really smart and set up this system with a pinwheel-kinda thing to make the cranks automated, but as she was examining something, she fell into the machine. Luckily it didn't show me the inside, but she explained to me how the mechanism tore her body up and ripped her to pieces and such. It showed the machine loading bricks into boxes, and near the end it spit out her limbs and packed them with the bricks. Then it started spurting out blood... and then the screen went off.
(okay, squeamish part over XD)
Then she told me that they were in the process of constructing a new body for her (I guess all she had right now was artificial, except for her memories), and she would be sent back to work as soon as she was done being built again. She and the boy told me that I would probably be kept and sold too if they found me here... so it wasn't special needs, but a child labor plant, I guess. (And "Angela" seemed to be only about 15, so...) They both seemed really worried and told me to run, so... I did. I ran to the other end of the hallway and jumped through the window for some reason... adrenaline maybe?
NOW I'm floating in this... giant dark blue room. It sort of feels like I'm underwater, but I know I can't fly under the water and I can't swim, either. (I really can, so I guess the dream-me was just a completely different person.) I kinda float forward, and then I see this thing that looks like a shark in front of me. I freaked out, and then I realized that it was just a submarine-type ship with markings painted on it as a warning sign. I lost my concentration, though, and I started to fall.
I land in the water for real this time. So I'm flailing because I think I'm going to die, and I see something in front of me that looks like a REAL shark.. so I shut my eyes, and just... try to calm down. I try to listen to that voice from earlier, and "have hope" or something. And once again, I propel myself upward out of the water... I'm saved again. Why am I not dead yet?
Now I'm in a bigger blue room, with the wall at the end covered in square-shaped white lights. I float slowly to the end, and instead of crashing through this time, I actually just walk through the white light as if it's a portal or something.
And guess what? I end up in another theatre.
Yeah. Don't worry, I think this ends soon.
The beginning to a song (I think the opening to the AIR animated series) is playing continuously in the background. There's this girl dressed in pink standing on a stage, so I guess she's gonna sing. All of a sudden these guys come up to me... they tell me how they've been waiting for me and that I'm just on time. Apparently we don't like this girl, and we're going to sabotage her show. I'm a better singer than her, so I'm going to start singing in her place, making the audience pay attention to me instead. So they shove a microphone into my hand and push me out into the crowd.
...Right then. So I start to sing. She had started too, but I guess she was shocked or something, because she stopped to listen. Instead of getting onstange, I'm walking around the crowd, stepping across balconies and people's tables and performing. At the beginning of the first verse she cuts me off, but I cut her off again halfway through it... she actually is really bad. XD; So she kinda sinks into the shadows while I'm singing. And I'm having a blast! I actually sounded really good, my voice was a lot more powerful than it really is (in real life, I'm actually a pretty bad singer).
But then for some reason, my voice just... entirely dies before I can start the second verse. I sing, but it's really weak and scratchy now. Everyone gets angry because they wanted to hear me sing. The director of the show talks to me, and tells me to try again, but I just can't do it now... some of the girls working there offer to pay me their tips as consolation if I'll just leave now and stop singing. Ouch.
So I'm leaving, but a whole bunch of people are angry because I ruined the show, particularly one group of boys that really liked the other girl. I'm really sad at this point... for some reason, I wander into YET ANOTHER theater-type area.
This part actually made me kind of sad. I was all depressed now, so I'm just walking through the crowds of people, trying to find an exit. I guess I still had my power of flight, because I eventually got tired and started lazily floating down through the rows of people. Someone had a box of chocolate truffles sitting open, so I took one randomly.
It was really weird and saddening, though, because as I floated down, the band that was playing there started playing this really slow jazzy music, that was kind of relaxing but sad... the singer had a really deep, kinda blues-ish voice, and he said something like "Alright folks... we're wrapping it up, here's the last song for the night. Remember to treasure your lives, blah blah blah..." or something like that.
I kept going, eventually reaching the bottom where the doors were supposed to be. A bunch of people were sitting around there... I guess the doors were closed right now, so we had to wait. Some people had a little puppy that was really bored of waiting, so he followed me... I was just really disappointed that I couldn't even leave, so I sat down against a wall next to a garbage can. I just kinda... sat there for a bit and finished my chocolate.
Then this guy comes around the corner to throw something away... I can't really see what he looks like because it's sort of dark there (the garbage can is like... in this little nook in the wall, and I'm sitting in there). He looks at me for a moment, then extends his hand to me. I stare back for a moment... I'm about to take his hand, and then I wake up.
...WHAT?
Honesly, I don't know what direction that dream was trying to go or anything. It was just... screwy. Too many things happened, so it all seemed completely random, but it was all so clear that I could remember the whole thing.
...yeah. I'm crazy or something. I think I'm gonna start up a dream journal here on LJ, just so I can record my dreams, and the people who don't care don't have to read them. XD I'd like to try to keep track of all the dreams I have (and typing is quicker than writing for me o.o;;)
Also, that took me an hour and a half to type out. x_X
