My dreams rock
Jan. 20th, 2008 09:19 amHighlight of my dream from last night:
----------------
I have cornered him. As a Chinese vampire*, he's not exactly familiar with the tradition of "staking." I explain this to him, then relate it to cultural roots of mind, body, god and earth as found in Christian Europe. As I do this, one of the people in my... squad(?) calls for my attention. Two are all making the "peaked" symbol**: Hurry up and stake him already.
Right. Pin him. Staked. Hmm... seems to still be moving. Must have missed the heart. Stake him again. Still not working. Where exactly is the heart? Between which ribs? After the sixth or eighth attempt, he seems to be in a great deal of pain.
This is awkward for both of us.
She walks over and hands me a sword.
"Oh right. Decapitation. Of course!"
I mean, that's hard to fuck up. Off with his head then.
[discontinuity]
So after scattering the pieces in the sun and seeing that they do indeed catch fire, I come back in to find that the movie (above? now?) has ended. Some sort of post-Buffy-esque action horror thing. That was our story. The credits role.
We walk out.
I am hesitant to say this. I feel like I am asking too much.
"Do you think they could put my current name up there instead of my old one? I know I don't have much [acting] experience. I don't think that it would confuse the audience that much. They just might think I was in drag or something."
-----------
* As in a postmodern western-style Vampire who is from China. Not as in a traditional Chinese vampire.
**One of the hand symbols (amongst "more information needed," "I concur," "I disagree" and "we are going off topic) used in expediting consensus decision making. We use it at work for Robert's Rules meetings with sixteen people.
Dreamsigns: sci-fi, vivid violence, commiting acts of violence which prove to be totally ineffective
