newnumber6This is actually a really really jumbled Dream Foo.
Okay, imagine you're filming a movie. However, you're not finished writing it, and not only are you constantly refilming scenes, you're rewriting them, and recasting people in them, and changing the direction of the story mid-filming, and, to top it all off, when you edit it, you have no idea what goes where so you just add different scenes together randomly, so you'd sometimes see the same scene twice, because the same reshoot was included twice for no particular reason.
This was one of those dreams. And, actually, it was really about a movie, sort of. Also the theme of 'boats' and chtulhoid horrors lurking under the surface also played a role. Brad Dourif was in it briefly, considering the role of the psycho.
Anyway, as best I can put it into a narrative, there were people who were escaping from monsters on a ship, and landing in the water,w here there were even more monsters. Some of the people escaping got picked up by other ships. One group got picked up by giants where they were sort of enslaved, eaten, or treated well at the whim of the giants.
A couple were picked up by pirates. They tried to give a ransom to get the pirates to let them go, but they said that only one of them had earned the right to be free. So the guy, being a complete jerk, said he'd go, and come back for the girl when he had more money. The pirate made a lewd comment about her being able to work off her debt in a couple weeks or something, but the guy was as previously mentioned a jerk so just sort of went off. There were also a bunch of times where people were sailing on a seemingly calm river, with lots of mist so the shore couldn't be seen, and although it didn't seem like it, theere were horrible tentacled monsters below the surface if anyone went down.
Very briefly, the dream turned into an attempt to adapt one of the issues of the DP7 comic (#5 I think) into a TV episode. Most of the rest was repeatings and reworkings of the above in slightly different ways.
