Last night I dreamed I was the apprentice of a Sith lord. He tried to kill me, but I escaped and left him and spent a long time training to become stronger and finding artifacts that could increase my power. By the time I finally faced him again I had so exceeded him in power that it was like beating up a puppy. Suddenly in my eyes instead of this powerful dark lord he was just a sad old man, and I felt bad for him and didn't want to kill him. I was wrestling with the decision, because I knew that if I let him live he would only try to kill me again, as the Sith way dictates, yet I wanted so badly to believe there was another way.
The funny thing is, at some point in our epic fight I realized that it was myself and another guy pretty much wearing costumes and play fighting each other, yet we realized we were supposed to take this role play interaction seriously and actually act it all out in order to learn something. At one point I even made a joke about it and he started laughing, though we were in a sense locked into our roles, and the experience was very real even though I realized more and more through the dream that it was all staged and predetermined beforehand.
