For some reason, my dreams have been rather memorable lately. I usually don't remember them, but when I do, they're either super awesome or super frightening. Thankfully, as you might have guessed, since I'm writing about it, they're the awesome variety.
I had a dream yesterday where, for some reason, me and Miki (My wife) and a few others in my family were visiting North Korea. Kim Jong Un apparently has this weird thing about not letting people see him enter his place unless it's done under a certain ceremony, and for some reason, Miki was part of said ceremony. He got off his bus, which I remember being green and looking like one of those Cavallo busses.. and then there was a specific order as to the color of the things people wore when they got off. I remember Miki was one of the ladies wearing a purple dress who accompanied him back inside, and since I'm her husband, I was there too, but off to the side, just having to bow as the procession led inside. I remember some specific other strange details but not how they line up.. like her boss from work was there too, as well as my cousin Arielle.. I dunno. But the dream ended when I sat down on a cushion and moths popped out from it instead of dust, then Miki freaked out. All I remember from that one.
Another dream from yesterday would be the one where I had to go to the hardware store to buy some stuff so I could build something. I don't remember what the thing I was supposed to build was, but when I got inside, the greeter there for some reason was my grandpa, so I was like, what the hell are you doing here? And he just responds with "Spoons." Then I go to where the paint department is, and this girl I used to know in college is there, Frankie. Which is also weird, because she told me before that she used to dress up like a clown professionally and do shows and stuff, and in Home Depot or wherever, she was in full regalia. Then I'm looking at colors, and we end up deciding on something called "Smush Bank" which is a greenish-brown. That's where that one cut off.
This one, though, is my favorite, from two nights ago. I was in the Harry Potter Universe, or at least somewhat of a facsimile - it was magic, but instead of being magic magic, it was technomagic, so instead of having a wand, I had a hand-held computer glove thing that did magic for me when I pushed the right buttons. I ended up befriending this girl from another house named Angela (who looks like no person I know, named Angela or otherwise), and we, and the rest of the school ended up having to fight the big bad with our technomagic gloves in an assembly hall where he tried to hold us all hostage and eventually kill us off with these technomagic dogs he had, plus his own thing. But when we were attacking, we all had to do it in turns (which I blame RPG influence on), and when it came to my turn, I sucked at my technomagic glove and instead of hitting some kind of attack spell, I activated the flashlight, and shined it on one of the dogs and shook it really hard, making a strobe effect that effectively robo-epilepsied it to death. Eventually the big bad died, but with his dying breaths he said, "You know this is going to hurt the franchise.." which I understood as meta and referring to how it would kill sales as well of this particular book/movie franchise. Then, after that's dealt with, I'm going away and see that my house is actually a part of this place I'm having school at, and make some off-hand comment about being worried about my cat being nervous with all these people roaming around. Then I learn that I'm actually an actor, and I've been on set the whole time. I start walking toward the kitchen and Chris Pratt and Jack Black come out of nowhere and start nailing me with paintball shots before giggling and running off.
