newnumber6Zombies! Weird Science Assignments! Vampires on a cruise!
Three dreams of note last night.
The first one was a zombie dream, although it started in my grandmother's kitchen. Someone had a bit of a corpse on a grill on the stove, and were cooking their dinner (souvlaki) at the same time. No, don't ask me why. Anyway, the corpse was on the side of the grill that wasn't 'on'. The corpse was also partial, only basically a head and torso (and small, I guess, although it never really came up in-plot, it had to be in order to fit on the grill). He injected it with something and it came alive, and after that they were having trouble killing it. Anyway, I came in on this and they were trying to burn it alive to keep it dead, and I was like 'OMG, what are you an idiot, creating zombies? You know how that can't come to any good'. And then I explained that they had to completely destroy the zombie corpse and then seal it up in something impregnable just in case, because otherwise some animal might come along, feed on little remnants the corpse, and pick up on the zombie infection.
The mad scientist guy agreed with me, and said he was going to do that now. At that point his cat came up, and he was fawning over it and said, 'Aww, do you want something to eat?' and took some meat and gave it to it. I asked what the hell he was doing and he said not to worry, it was just his lunch, and even though the charred zombie and the souvlaki looked a lot a like, he knew what was what.
Except apparently he didn't, or the zombie bits touched the food bits, or the smoke from the zombie got on the food, because a few seconds later the cat started looking zombieish and hissed and tried to bite the mad scientist.
I thought, 'oh, crap, we have a zombie apocalypse on our hands.' and I brushed past the scientist who was beginning to zombifie and ran for the window with the intent of breaking through in a big hollywoodesque jump. I jumped at it but bounced off, so went through the door. Anyway, at this point I sort of realized it was a dream, but because I don't often have zombie apocalypse dreams (I wish! The last one I recall was back when I still had nightmares), so I decided to just let the dream happen rather than trying to access special powers or alter the dream. I ran down the streets, trying to warn people nad find a place to go.
I turned a corner and knocked at a secure looking house with a couple people I'd gathered, only to realize it wasn't actually a house at all, it was an electrical substation designed to look like a house so as not to mess up the look of the neighborhood.
So we couldn't go there, but the zombie threat was spreading fast, with every new zombie affected going in a different direction to infect more. Eventually (and rather quickly) the zombies had spread so much as to be in front of us too, and every once in a while the scene shifted to a weird overhead view where non infected people were represented by green dots and infected people by purple dots.
Anyway, at this point in the dream the zombies could talk, and were at least somewhat intelligent, and as I was avoiding I heard a conversation between two of them, where they discussed how one of them sold rights to eat Saddaam Hussein. And the other one joked something along the lines of 'yeah, but you barely even had to market that. Hell, you could have sold that even before we were zombies'. Can't remember exactly that.
Anyway, soon after that I woke up. No direct zombie encounters, was just hiding and sneaking around.
Second dream. Another 'school/university' dream. In this one, all I can really remember was we were given an assignment to build some sort of trough that would bring water to a cup 10 meters away. Whoever filled their cup first 'won'. But you could only use things that were in the classroom, and most of those weren't good. Basically the most 'solid' thing you could use was rulers. There were three of us I think, and there was supposed to be a 'trick' to the project that made it really easy, but none of us had discovered it and were having a lot of trouble. One person tried just carrying it and considering themself the thing that carried the water, but the teacher said that no, that was invalid and he had to start again, and the trough could only be made out of bristol board, rulers, string, and a couple other things you could find around a classroom, and you weren't allowed to carry the water except to bring it to the beginning of the trough. I spent most of the dream trying to assemble a pathway of rulers that measured 10 meters long.
Not terribly interesting. Except, when I woke up, my half-asleep mind was still working on it, and I figured out the 'trick'.
Nobody ever said the pathway for water had to be horizontal. You could make a trough out of a single line of string, 10 meters long, extending from the top of the glass and ten meters up. You pour water very slowly along the string and normal attractive forces keep it going downward and into the glass, filling it up very easily and quickly.
Final dream! Just a little bit here. All I remember was that it was a Buffyverse thing, and Spike was boarding a cruise ship (I can't remember if it was day or night but I suppose it must have been night). Anyway, unheard by Spike someone on the crew mentioned something about one of the passengers named 'Druscilla' leading to one of those foreshadowing moments where 'Oh my god this is one of those episodes where they meet by surprise!'.
