newnumber6One stargate episode dream and one semi-lucid one.
Okay, remember that episode where Teal'c was turning into a giant bug, and was helped out by a little girl who at first helped hide him from the bad guys on the government and then lead O'Neill to him? (I just looked it up and her name was Ally but my sleeping mind didn't remember that so throughout the dream she was referred to as Becky, and I'll just go with that).
Anyway, the dream was that I was watching an episode in which Becky was back, now an adult, and got involved in strangeness again. Except this time the episode was sort of from the perspective of someone who had no connection to the Stargate universe at all. Bascially there was some big alien plot going on on Earth and she was in a bunch of people who were rounded up at the government because they were at the wrong place at the wrong time and one or more of them were aliens threatening to destroy the world. She recognized O'Neill, who was there (Teal'C and Daniel, oddly, were not in the dream at all, although 'the new guy' was, though never really referred to by name). The problem was the process of discovering if someone was one of these aliens that were an immediate threat to Earth, looked an awful lot, to someone not familiar with all the alien aspect of things, like torturing someone like they were a presumed terrorist. So Becky thought they were torturing innocent people because one of them might be a terrorist, and used her 'streetwise skills' to lift a key to her cuffs from the new guy who was trying to reassure her that even though it sounded like they were torturing the guy they brought into the 'interrogation room' and blood had sprayed up on the windows, they were actually saving him. Anyway, she got the key and when they were looking the other way escaped forcing them to go 'oh crap' and try to chase her down again before she broke security. There was talk of showing her the stargate and explaining the whole story to secure her cooperation. That's about all I remember of the dream though, except for the fact that I was thinking, 'see, this is why Stargate is so cool, a minor character in a one shot episode years ago is brought back again just because it makes a cool episode.'
Anyway, the other episode started in school and briefly I was talking there to one of my LJ friends who doesn't much pay attention to LJ anymore. I think I took a brief run out of the class to get comics, but comics I already owned, for some reason. Anyway, just as the class started suddenly we were all moving like one of those amusement park rides, down a hall and then everyone got out in pushed (except me and a few others, who were near the back), and turned us onto another track, where we started going really fast. Anyway, we were told to get out we had to make it through this test, but it was designed to be fatal or maiming. There was an underwater tunnel and you could take two choices. One was an extended underwater swim which would last about 10 minutes, so you'd surely drown. Another was a short underwater swim followed by climbing up on a ledge, except the ledge was on fire so you'd be burned horribly. Finally, there was a medium underwater swim, but the problem was that the area was full of crocodiles.
At this point, for some reason, I kind of got the impression this wasn't entirely real. I don't know what it was, maybe it was the deathtraps, which I so rarely encounter in everyday life. Anyway, it wasn't full lucidity, I couldn't really control everything and I don't think I had a full appreciation that that was an option, but I knew it was a dream. First someone went down but came back up because he was too scared to choose any of the choices, and that's about when I realized that I couldn't be harmed. So I told everyone, "Okay, I'm going to go first and take the crocodile path. Then I'll kill all of them while I'm down there and you can follow safely." and sort of concentrated on making myself invulnerable like Superman. So I swam in and it was dark and I remember my hand crunching against things but eventually I woke up.
Or thought I did, anyway. It was actually one of those 'ha ha, you're still dreaming' wakeups, and I could sort of tell because my room wasn't any way it should have been and my bed was broken (like the legs by the head of the bed had snapped off so it was on an angle), and I knew something was off but I was worried I was just groggy and disoriented so I couldn't be sure and just wandered around trying to confirm one way or the other. I also found a batch of unscratched lottery tickets while I was looking for something to squash a big bug I saw. Anyway, eventually I woke up and realized, uh, obviously that last one was fake because my room was much smaller, didn't have little gi joes all over floor, and a whole host of other things.
