Time for a Dream

Sometimes awesome dreams happen. Like the sort that seem so real that I'm genuinely surprised (sometimes relieved) when I actually wake up. They can be so scary or disturbing that that terrified feeling sticks with me for days. that one hasn't happened for a long time, but this particular instance seemed epic enough to blog-ify. This Dream happened a few weeks ago, but I still remember it well.

So I'm sitting at a table, in a classroom type setting. Outside it's bright and sunny. Next to me is my buddy Chloe, and the room is full of attractive, if a bit skanky-looking girls. An older chick is at the front, explaining the facts of being a Suicide Girl (this is weird, because at this point I was really not into the idea). I got the feeling this was some kind of training or try-outs. Each girl basically stripped down to their underwear and was scrutinized for the class on their best and worst traits. I know all of this has nothing to do with being a Suicide Girl, it's just the way it worked in this dream. I get this feeling of uneasiness, and I wonder what I'm even doing here because there's no way I compare physically to any of these girls. So my turn comes, I get nervous, and I ask if I can go into the next room to change. And things get weird.
I step into an empty room adjacent to the classroom, one with a large window running from ceiling to floor. I notice that not only is it now dark out, but I'm several stories above the ground. I walk up to the window and stare up at the sky, and It looks much more vivid than normal. Like I can see planets up close and in detail, and the blackness between them sort of sparkled like glitter. So I think,"Chloe should see this, she'll be all wtf," and I go back to the classroom and grab her (I think everyone else just went on without me). We look out the window, and I get completely mesmerized by what I'm seeing. Suddenly, out of nowhere a fucking giant reptilian eye appears in front of the window. As it moves back I scream, and the next thing I know this giant alligator jaw has smashed through the window and bitten down over me and Chloe. We're still standing on the floor, only now we're surrounded by the roof of this alligator's mouth. anywho, it reopens its jaws, giving us a chance to dash the fuck away from the window and into a hallway.
What comes next is a lot of running. Running down stairs and around various buildings, hoping that I lost the thing. A frenzied sprint through the city reveals that there are several more of these giant alligators, apparently staging an invasion from space, and eating lots of people as they go. I've lost track of Chloe at this point. I reach the edge of the city, an area somewhat resembling the Dells, and it's nearly morning. A group of survivors are taking a motorboat away from the attack, and I run after it, jumping off a cliff and barely making it aboard.
Fast forward like a year. I guess that gave the giant alligators time to conquer Earth and convert its government into a depressing totalitarian one. Everyone works in gray buildings and anyone who steps out of line is fed to the giant alligators. I guess I've become part of the resistance, and we are attempting to infiltrate the city and rescue several of our friends. Select people are given positions of power, and told they won't be eaten as long as they turn in troublemakers regularly. We sneak into a building where our friends are being kept, and more running and fighting ensues throughout. Toward the top of the building I am stopped by one of these people in charge, and the funny part is I think it was Chloe. I'm grabbed from behind and dragged off, then find myself tied to a chair, waiting for the alligators to show up and pass judgement. I get the idea in my head that Chloe might come save me, but I'm really too terrified for that thought to help me calm down. This is the first point in the dream where I realize that I might actually be dreaming, and I desperately hope it's true. While I wish for some sign or something to wake me up, I feel the ground shake with heavy steps. Luckily, this is when Zane's alarm clock went off, and giant alligators quickly became a thing of the past.

I know, you'll be surprised to hear I wasn't smoking a thing that night.


Songs are fun. I've never been very into MGMT, but this is my favorite song right now. So happy and mellow ^^






Speaking of Lovecraft, the part where the people pull the moon down and cut it open really reminds me of "The Colour out of Space". But if that rainbow goo really were the shit at the center of the meteor, they really shouldn't be rubbing it all over themselves like that 0.0
