newnumber6Had a bunch of tiny dreams last night...
One, I was an astronaut, coming back from a moon mission - although we didn't land on the moon, we just orbitted it and came home. Anyway, the dream was mostly the landing, where for some reason we didn't have a parachute (we weren't in a shuttle, but one of those old-style pods) and didn't see much of a problem with that. We were trying to estimate how soon we'd hit ground. We landed somewhere in Toronto, on or near a major roadway.
Another one was about fighting a vampire, except the vampire we were fighting was some kind of new supervampire who was even faster and such and we weren't sure our weapons like holy water could kill her (I suspect the dream came from seeing a commercial for underworld 2 shortly before bed).
Next up was a lucid dream. Bit fuzzy on this one. I remember 'waking up', possibly from vampire dream, and rolling out of bed, then checking the clock twice and realizing the time changed in between, and thus, it was a lucid dream. I went outside where people were throwing a barbecue or something, interacted with some people, flew a little, and then decided to try something that doesn't often work - complete change of scenery to a scene of my choosing. I closed my eyes (oddly, just as this happened, I was about to be attacked by an army of warriors in full armor that happened to glow neon-bright, I dunno what that was about), and basically rather than trying to force everything to shift, I imagined the theme music of a TV show and the title credits fading in, and it worked, I was in it. For a second or two. Then somehow I was holding a mini-TV airing the TV show. I tried to force myself through the TV but I woke up, though I think I woke up more because of some particularly loud wind outside rather than 'trying too hard to control the lucid dream'. Stupid wind.
Finally, there was a weird little dream that because there was a problem with one of my LJ icons, my dad created a new one for me. And it was amazing work, and I had no idea he had any skills as an icon creator (or hell even knew what an icon was). In fact, the icon was a rotating picture of all my LJ friends as they really looked (though I don't remember the specifics of anyone), followed by me, and then followed by a photoshopped group pic of all of us together that actually looked like we were all in the same place at one point. And I was like... wow, this is really great work... and I don't want to be ungrateful, but, I don't really want to use this as an icon, because it wasn't my style.
There was some other dream (or maybe it was part of the last dream) involving looking for a book, and finding a whole bunch of weird chemicals on a desk (advanced chemistry set style stuff rather than a drug lab or anything nefarious like that) and some other stuff too that at the time I thought was amazingly cool but now can't remember for the life of me.
Edit: Okay, I was tired all morning so I just had a nap and lo and behold, another dream. This one was Runaways related. Basically all the Runaways had come up with an elaborate plan to get rid of Chase because he didn't have any powers. Not because they didn't want him there but they thought it'd be too dangerous. They all figured Chase would be too stupid and just go along with it until he was safely transported to whereever it was that he was being transported to, but he had figured it out or at least knew something was up, and was trying to catch them in a lie or logical contradiction, and trying to use the Leapfrog's computer AI to help him prove his theory. Other weird thing - Molly either was Katie Power from Power Pack or had her (original) powers, because part of the plan involved using a Power Ball to call Nova (no I have no idea why him). Oddly, the other part of the dream was me 'waking up' and writing up the entire story in a few seconds as a fanfic (rather than a dream) in a message entitled 'lalalalalalalalalala' at the BKV Cabal in order to save it, and when I came to my senses and realized uh, that's a stupid thing to do, and tried to delete it, found the message was modlocked.
Something else was there about me, not the character, using the phrase "Lasers! Didja see? Lasers!" in a news story I was linking to. Dunno when that dream was, I just recalled it now.
