newnumber6Odd batch of dreams.
In one, a bunch of my family was dead. Except it didn't happen recently, it happened a while ago so I was 'over it' (not completely, of course, but enough that I wasn't constantly depressed or anything).
Anyway, I was in a new school (and high school for some reason; most of the time when I dream I'm in school, it's high school for some reason). And I don't know, there was some guy there I was just talking to about things, another student. We were talking while walking around the football field, and running up and down a few lengths for no particular reason. Anyway, then this guy's mother showed up, and she was hideously overprotective about not wanting him to play football. And I tried to explain to her that he wasn't actually training for football we were just talking and in fact he was helping me an awful lot deal with the losses in my family. She thought I was just trying to cover for him, so called me a liar. I said I wasn't and she freaked out, and I just sort of walked away. So she followed me and then wrote down something on a pote it note (liar or something to that effect), and put it on my head. I just took it off but she mentioned that the ink had already set in (though I couldn't see it).
And then she went off. So me and the other guy just sort of walked off, and I mentioned something about warning them that a crazy parent was wandering the halls, and he said, well, actually, that's not the case. I said "What, don't tell me she's a teacher?" And he said, "Nope, worse than that." "Principal?" "Well, vice principle." "Even worse." (I've never had trouble in high school with principals, it was always the vice ones I hated).
Anyway I sort of shrugged it off and said, well, at least she's mad at mea nd not you. The rest of the dream was sort of isolated images of being screwed over (teachers in classes I was in, but no others, being told that students were no longer to take notes inside class, etc), and me trying to figure out how to resolve the issue. That's about where I woke up, though half-awake I still tried to come up with a plan to resolve the situation. (It had somethingto do with arranging a meeting with her, in private, and telling her that while she was absolutely wrong and I was being absolutely honest earlier, this had clearly turned into a power issue, and, since I really didn't care about such petty things anymore, I'd take what punishment she decided was worthy, 'admit' fault, even though between the two of us we'd know that I did nothing. And secretly recording the conversation just in case it didn't go so well, because in it I'd be able to prove I wasn't lying or anything and could take it to the superiors).
Anyway, that's the end of that dream. In another I just remember briefly talking to a bunch of cops about other cops, they were basically gossiping. Don't know where that was from, may even have been a part of the first dream.
Another was a semi-lucid dream. However, since I was having trouble controlling my environment, I fell back on an old experiment. I tried to create a 'remote control'. By grabbing my TV remote control, I altered it in the dream so it had menus to create and add elements to the dream.
The problem was, it was hideously complicated to work through. If I wanted to add something, I had to maneuver through a list of what was possible to adds, then a sublist (for example, if person, I'd have to then choose male or female, then list for heights or hair colors, then lists for faces and personalities, etc). By the time I completed a selection and put 'add', I woke up.
But the best dream of all was about Firefly.
I guess I was in the role of Simon. We were starting to land on a planet and it was absolutely beautiful, and I was looking out the window and saw a hurricane forming in one of the lakes and told Kaylee to look. Of course, the ship lurched because Kaylee looked and wasn't keeping a close watch on the Engine which was apparently important during certain types of flying (that Wash was doing). Anyway, I apologizes and just continued looking, and it was just beautiful. Oceans and green land and everything.
Then we cut to a shot of Kaylee underwater, sort of swmming and looking around, and finally she came out of the water and a few of us were lounging on the rocks in a sort of lagoon area. I noticed that her hair seemed to be completely dry even just after coming out of the water, and Inara mentioned something about wanting to learn that secret. Kaylee said that it just looked that way and once it dried out it'd just look weird.
Anyway, at this point I dived into the water for a bit of a swim. Someone remarked at how idyllic the setting was. Kaylee said that yeah, it would just be perfect if it wasn't for the leeches. Which made me jump and head back to the rock where my stuff was, since I didn't want to be bitten by leeches (I suspect it was a joke though)
For some reason at this point I was skinny dipping, I guess because I/Simon didn't really have the time or inclination to bring a bathing suit when he was gathering his stuff to go on the run from the authorities. While the others were looking the other way, I got out of the water and tried to dress quickly but Inara and Kaylee peeked which made me embarassed. Anyway, that's about it. Nothing dramatically exciting, but it was fun (and it really was, very very beautiful).
