Here I am again.
Sometime ago I said I don’t have nightmares. Jsut VERY surreal dreams.
Well here is one of them.
<i>
I remember waking up. I heard someone say “Welcome to the land of the living sleepyhead.”
I get up, ready to face a new day. But I’m in a bunker… for some reason I slept for over 200 years.
Next I remember crawling through a passageway, very tight, made of a very heavy cloth not unlike velvet. I’m having trouble breathing, and I have a paper in my hand. I don’t want to damage that papre… I get the feeling I’ve done this before. In the background I can hear Wertigon going on about Linux.
I get out and meet with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Well Leonardo anyway. He tells me I have to find Dontaello, and he points to another velvet passage. Oh yay. I crawl through that.
I find my family at the end, my little sister is playing with an object with a rotor that looks like it’ll chop her hand off. Donatello’s supposed to be in there. I try to stop the rotor, but my father stops it with his wrist.
I look at a TV. We still have electricity. Apparently it’s two human kids with a family of monkeys. Think Planet of the Apes. They act like monkeys to confuse the apes, and then escape. I hear the date, but I mishear it. I think it’s 2022. “Oh, I’ve been asleep for 19 years.” “No, you’ve been asleep for 200…”
Then I fall. My family and I are in a cart or something like that, with Donatello at the wheel. He tells us that he doesn’t have enough for the return trip, and he has to leave someone behind. I feel like I’ve done this before, and I tell him to jsut go. Now it’s only me and two brothers. He blast out, and end up going down a twisting road, taking out several roadblocks before we stop.
The landscape is a ruin. I learn that the world has been the victim of a nuclear holocaust. But a castle is behind us. My mom is in that castle, screaming to us “What happened to the kingdom of Neb?” We walk to another castle, not too far off.
THe castle, or what remained of said kingdom is a ruin. I get the feeling it used to be a summer paradise, but now it’s winter, and everything is iced over and desolate. We approach the castle. My brother (Who I identfy as PC Glenton, my other brother being GG Crono) asks “What could have done this?” He sounds shocked. A figure is approching from the distance. IT’s Neb, or maybe Ren. It looks like Ren’s “princely” avatar. I think it’s his anyway. He’s the prince. Was the prince. He tells the story, and then from a wastebasket he pulls a fire opal. I think that this might restore the kingdom, but no. He gives it to me, and if you recall the crystal shards in FF5, you’ll get the idea. I don’t remember what jobs were in the fire opal. Then he’s gone.
We don’t explore the castle, but instead enter a door. Inside seems to be a game store, fully stocked, lighted… but nobody is inside. We can loot it if we so desire. Inside are games that I didn’t know (or don’t even believe) existed. I think that I want some of the games and controllers inside, but GG pulls me out, saying urgently that we have to get moving. We walk to another building, another game store, but it’s staffed, and dark.
Then I awaken.</i>
Strange. One wonders, but heh. this was jsut surreal. I felt very lonely when I woke up… I also felt like I hadn’t yet awakened from the dream…
