Dang, it was a dream.

[geebs]

How odd, whenever I sleep on that couch over there, I never seem to be able to distinguish that I'm dreaming. I used to think it was because the dreams I was having were so mundane and mirrored reality so closely, but this latest dream was more in line of my usual dreams. I mean, like last night, I had this weird dream where aliens had invaded and were dropping nukes on several cities from orbit. And I was teleporting back and forth between different bomb shelters before the bombs would hit, and eventually I came to realize not only could I move across space, I could across time also, and could jump back in time and somehow prevent the invasion. But not before meeting up with this resistance figther chick. Now this part was definitely inspired by Stormwatch: Team Achilles, because she was flying an attack ship through some sort of warp gate. As in STA's Project Entry, the warp gate actually is a gateway to a parallel universe. So when people jump from one point to another they actually open a gate to this parallel dimension, travel to a point there and open a gate back to our dimension. But since time flows differently there, to an outside observer, it seem like the person instantaneously jumps from one point in our plane to another. Anyways, just like in STA, the parallel dimension was a dead world, populated by horrible monsters, but most people using the gates are travelling through in protected ships and moving fast enough that its uaually not a problem. Anyways, as she's flying through the parallel dimension, she gets the attention of a really nasty and dangerous monster that begins chasing her. She can't shake it, so she ends up opening a point back to our world, to a city just about to get hit with one of the nukes. The monster follows her, and she immediately jumps back out, escaping the nuclear blast. The monster is not so lucky. Anyways, I don't know how, but eventually, me, her, and some other resistance fighters end up getting captured and put to work at some work camp. They set up a distraction so I can use my powers to travel to the past and stop the aliens from taking over. Anyways, I wake up before I could do such a thing.

But I digress, though it seemed real at the time, my dream conciousness had an idea it was a dream. This other dream as similarly unreal. I was running a brothel with some other people and one of the call girls was this russian chick and we were seeing each other. Or maybe just screwing around. Anyways, for some reason, she quits, and we hire this new girl, who's pretty cute, young looking. But it turns out she's a powerful telepath. She starts mindwarping everyone in the brothel to be her slaves, and is even able to warp reality in the brothel to transform the place to suit her own twisted vision. Somehow, she gets ousted. And I didn't even have anything to do with it! Its like all of a sudden, she was gone. Anyways, the russian girl comes back, and goes to the second floor of the brothel. I follow her upstairs to show her to her new room. But as soon as we get in, she gives me a check (ha, the call girl is paying me) and we start making out, but then my damn alarm goes off. But like other dreams I've had on that couch, it was very disconcerting to be ripped back to reality. And I'm not saying that because I was having fun at the time. Its like the part of me that usually realizes I'm dreaming, doesn't. Its all very weird.

Anyways, this entry took me more than two and a half hours to write. Well, I went to the varsity and ate a couple of cheeseburgers and chili dogs for lunch as I typed this, as watching "It Happened One Night". It was totally awesome. And who says old movies are boring and outdated? Its like the classic romantic comedy! A thoroughly enjoyable viewing.
