The Dream Thread

[Brittany]

Had a semi-lucid dream last night. I realized I was dreaming, but for some reason the coolest thing I could think of to do was walk up the street. It was night, and I was in my parents' neighborhood. I could see a LOT more stars than usual (seeing a handful here in the city is a lucky rarity), and I was just standing there, staring up at the stars in awe. Orion's belt has always been one of my favorite constellations to pick out, and I suddenly noticed there were two belts in the sky now, right next to each other. I was very intrigued by this. Then some sort of glowing thing flew through the sky. At first I thought it was a UFO, but it landed by me and I realized it was some sort of child's toy, which disappointed me. I had really wanted it to be a UFO.

A non-lucid dream I had involved Walter and I going to a psychic fair, but we got there too early, and were somehow inside the building before it had even opened, so we had to hide when the psychics came in and started setting up their stuff, and wait until other people showed up to come out and act like we'd just gotten there. I saw two blonde girls at the psychic fair who looked confused. They wanted to know if I could walk around with them to make them less nervous. I asked them if this was their first time being around so many "seekers" and they said no, but they still seemed nervous. So I was like "Sure! The more the merrier!" The whole thing was taking place in this really beautiful, quaint Italian cottage/hotel type place. It was all crafted in very superb stonework, and I could see the Italian countryside through the arched windows. I spoke to the owner of the place and talked about how beautiful it was.

There was also a very long, complex dream before all of that, but almost all of it has been lost to me now. The one part I remember was something like being inside a video game. I went in this abandoned church and I had to hide in the shadows because if I stepped into the sunlight it would burn me. I had a certain amount of time to get to the front of the church and...shoot someone? I can't really remember. It was highly bizarre, and it gave me a very, VERY bad feeling when I woke up. I'm not even sure why it disturbed me so much, but it made me feel sick inside. When I looked back at the dream later it didn't do that...only when I first woke up. It was just the lighting of that place...the atmosphere. I'm fairly certain there was at least one corpse in the place. It reminded me of something...very bad, I think. O__O
