Seriously, one of the scariest dreams I can remember having...
... and one of the longest. Seriously, kiddies, make some popcorn, I'm about to tell you a movie. Don't feel you have to read this in one sitting. Take an intermission. I think since actually watching movies, my dreams have become more cinematic. With sexy varying results! If you think dreams with all your favorite celebrities will be great fun, I'm here to literally crush your dreams!
I started playing Sims on Facebook (which sucks btw), and the first scene that I can barely remember sort of resembles a Sim game: third person point of view, I can somehow see over and through this house... I don't exactly remember what was happening, but there was seriously a loading screen to this next scene.
Here's where the movie quality kicks in. There's a voice-over like in a trailer. He is talking about the Sim from the last part, but the Sim is a real person! The Sim/person is an Asian-esque woman (like, I seriously want to say it was Malese Jow), and she has a small child. The voice-over mentions how the woman gave her kid these candies (Peppermint Pattys) in the last scene like I've seen the tv portray grandparents with hard candy. Like, "Here's a Peppermint Patty, ya little rascal!" Or, "Man, what a day! I need a Peppermint Patty!"
Then, there is a close-up of the woman hugging her child. The voice-over says something about the little treat going bad (seriously don't remember words, just an ominous tone), and the woman sneaks a Peppermint Patty to herself so the child can't see. It sounds hilarious as I type! But in the dream-movie, it's like, "Oh man, this lady has some stuff going on..."
This scene has been taking place on the top-level of a parking lot. There is snow everywhere. Across from the lot is a mountain up which people are trying to drive. It's gridlocked. The woman is also trying to get up the mountain with her child (no idea what's going there). Maybe it was a prize or something because the woman's mother is in a helicopter (I don't even know, man) and is like, "Come on!" I guess the woman didn't want to take her small child on the helicopter and is desperately looking around for options. She gives into leaving her kid with a complete stranger, but she does get all this info from this person like the license plate. I was actually impressed, like, "Wow, people in movies aren't usually this smart!" (Not that I'm saying that leaving your small child with a stranger when you need to get to the top of a mountain is smart...)
The woman even flags down an officer (which, couldn't you leave your kid with the officer? Idk idk) to also get the info. As she's doing this, the scenery completely changes. It's not snowy; we're on street level surrounded by buildings, and there's much more people. We're in the middle of a celebration. The woman and mountain problems disappear, although the officer is still taking info from someone. With the emergence of more people, another officer has come. The initial officer turns out to be Mark Pellegrino. You know, the fellow who plays Lucifer on Supernatural? He also played a vampire on Syfy's remake of Being Human who was- haha- a cop!
Someone-- I want to say my brother, but I don't think it was, but someone I'd share the following thought with-- and I were like, "LOL, I SEE WHAT U DID THERE," so he goes and stabs Mark Pellegrino/Lucifer/vampire cop (I really don't know where that other cop went at this point). Mark/Luci/VC grunts and holds his side, the fellow with whom I'd shared thoughts with disappears as casually as he'd staked... I run like hell (HAHAHA) because I knew shit's going down. I run until there's a drop to the street. There's a wall covering the side of the drop, and I hide against it.
People are getting shot. There were a lot of bullets. There were bombs and explosions. I'm pretty sure I got shot, but I guess it was like a video game and like, "Oh, it wasn't in your face? You're fine!" In the dream, I formed the reason that Vampire Cop was doing this because somebody found out that he was vampire (why he was staked)... so anyone that could've possibly seen him has to die? This doesn't make sense now... and will make less sense as I continue.
Since I practically wasn't shot at all (!), the scene cuts to me going to this room with bubble envelopes named for every person associated with the celebration (room too small, too few envelopes for this to actually be) and random stuff laying on the floor. Somehow I was going to find Vampire Cop's envelope. I wish I could recall what this room was or how I would've known about it. In the dream, I thought that everyone would be in the hospital, and nobody would remember to check this room. But some people came, although I don't know what they were doing.
One of them was Henry Rollins, and for some reason I thought that Vampire Cop had set him up somehow with the envelopes. Took his envelope and put his own info in Henry's. Henry Rollins didn't believe me: "Even if you did find the envelope, what are you going to do with it?"
Conan O'Brien came in, and you could tell he was beat. I wondered if anything had happened to his family (which yes! I do feel awful for even unconsciously dreaming about!), but I didn't ask. I won't say what he did because it's really sad to me, but the dream did a great job a giving me my distancing methods and paralyzing fear that I employ in real life!
I don't remember if anything else happened in the room, but at some point, one wall became a window. We were several stories up, overlooking a river and enormous bridge. Explosions started going off-- on the bridge, on the streets near us. The people in the room had a collective disbelief, and we stood up to watch. Then, there was a rumble beneath us and we wondered if it was in the street or in the building. Slowly, the floor started shifting, causing all the junk on it to slide left and right. The roof started to crumble, and I looked around to see if there were desks or anything to hide under. There weren't enough for everyone in the room.
I put my hands to my head, and I think, tried to wake myself up because I couldn't go through that again.
I think the hardest part of writing this was the Conan bit.
