Hail, my brother! You make me wonder if I've got an inferiority complex somewhere deep down inside of me... If it is there, I cannot preceive it; but that does not mean it is not there; for my own part, I tend more towards megalomania.
On to my confession...
I confess that last night I had one of my most peculiar dreams to date. I was living with my lover in an old warehouse in Seattle, which we'd converted into a giant studio workshop/laboratory/arcade (with real old fashioned console arcade games!). We were going to go to bed, but then Halloween arrived, and the two of us laid in bed and watched out a window in bemusement as folks in the three-story yuppie condo complex across the street started bungee jumping off of a third story balcony, using what looked like tied together pantyhose as a bungee; this didn't work very well, and people would jump, smack into the ground, and get up, but they kept doing it. Then a parade of costumed partiers came crowding down the street. Some of the windows in our flat were opened, and the costumed partiers started climbing in through them! My lover and I ran around trying to close the windows as fast as we could, but a few folks made it inside; argh! I was about to try to deal with them, when I heard a din coming from the other side of the flat, where the front door was. Apparently a doctor had stopped by to give the crazy old man who lived in a side-room off of the flat a shot of medicine; the doctor had a key to the front door, and when he let himself in, he left it unlocked - and the partiers were pouring in through the front door! I grabbed a pair of automatic pistols and started threatening them to get the hell out, but they did not heed me, and I found that I could not bring myself to shoot them for their drunken revelries. So my lover suggested that we convert the flat into a bar & industrial dance pad, and start to charge admission; which then happened. A black m***et in the crowd who happened to be a formerly famous ex-rapper also turned out to be a gourmet chef, and he started preparing food for everyone in our nicely sized kitchen. As I was walking around looking at people, I felt someone's hand in my pocket, trying to pilfer the pistol I had just placed there; I turned around to see who it was, and it was Keanu Reeves! I said, "Just what the hell do you think you're doing?!" and he ran off into the crowd. It turns out, he went and called Nancy Pelosi, who quickly showed up with a hit squad, and demanded I immediately turn in my pistols. I said "No thanks!" and ninja'ed out a nearby window. She sent her best political ninja after me, a secret service guy in a grey suit. I used my best evasive moves, but he managed to keep up. Eventually I ran and jumped off of a one story roof, just barely clearing the top of a chain link fence gate topped with razor wire. There was an abandoned guard booth just outside of the gate, and I ducked behind it, thinking there was no way the other guy could make the same jump. But he did! At which point I said, "That's enough of you.", and emptied the clip from my pistol at him, killing him. I then wrapped his body in a nearby clear plastic painting tarp, and dumped him in the abandoned guard booth. It was full of trash, which I used to obscure the body; I planned to come back later and bury it properly. I went back to my flat to kick Pelosi out, but she had already left with her minions. Just then, our m***et ex-wrapper chef finished preparing the buffet, which I have to say, looked
awesome! My lover was there, and she called me over to try some of the food. I went over, and smacked my lips hungrily - but this translated into my actual mouth moving, and it woke me up!
Before I could try the food! Damnit!
I swear to the gods I'm not making this up; in fact, I left large portions of the actual dream out. I just hope I can find my way back there tonight. Wish me luck, if you dare.
Good fortune,
- Icarus Dreamt of What?!
