That dream thread prompted me to tell everyone about a strange dream I had less than a week ago. It's really one of the strangest ones ever, and probably a result of being in #TACC so much and seeing some of the crap on ytmnd.com (why do I still go there?).
So, here goes...if you find this kind of crap interesting, take a look. This one's just so strange you'll probably want to have a look just to laugh at me, or call me crazy.
Gene Simmons was trying to perform in my back yard. Except he didn't look like Gene Simmons, more like some guy with a slimmer face and a goatee. The face is familiar but I can't think of who it might have been. He was also dressed as himself, not with the KISS makeup. But anyway, we had chairs setup in the backyard in some strange manner, and I seem to remember some backdrop at the end of the rows of stairs, like the rear of the house of a theater, if you could call it that. And like, behind that was one of those kiddy play house things, like the big colored plastic ones. It wasn't visible, and I seem to remember needing sand bags on the floor of it to keep it from moving or something.
But on to the really weird part. There was some conversation with Gene going on, and it ended up with him wanting to dance or perform naked (brace yourself). He was standing in my kitchen, looking out into the backyard, so I could only see the torso. But after arguing people agreed, and he got naked. He had a penis coming from each armpit (I warned you). He was shocked, he never knew they were there, and said they must be from another timeline or something. Oh yeah, didn't I tell you Gene Simmons wasn't from our timeline? Like he was a time traveler, or something else put him there, I can't quite remember, it's hazy. Only that he said they were from another timeline. I think he ended up cutting them off and going on with the performance, which I have no memory of.
The next part though, I seem to remember like, me and Gene getting in some fight, and he eventually bought me some gifts as an apology. And what were the gifts? A large blanket (like for a full sized bed) and a pillow which I realized was just a lumpy old one taken out of my sister's room with a new cover on it.
It gets stranger...The transition to the next part is hazy, all I remember is something about my dad not being able to drive us kids to any place that took longer than 8 minutes to get there, like he was under some child restriction custody thing, like from a divorce. It was like Gene Simmons was supposed to be my dad or something, so they wouldn't let my real dad drive me far. Basically what I remember is traveling along a really, incredibly smooth road, a few conversations in the car, and then suddenly driving along into a curved path into some woods (which I seem to recall being similar to a real place I've visited).
Then it goes hazy again, and comes up with me needing to get across some pit by hanging on some pipes and sliding (Splinter Cell style) across them and grabbing on to other nearby pipes. It was like, part of some kind of trap, reminds me of some puzzles from games like Mega Man. I remember holding on for life though. Then I had to do the same thing, moving from bar/pipe to other bars/pipes, except instead of pipes, it was taut caution tape. The tapes were lined up in rows, and I was going perpendicular to the rows, like moving on a ladder. Inbetween were floating heads of some Marvel characters, glowing blue like powerups from some video game. I don't remember which, other than one was Mr. Marvel.
And then after this puzzle/trap sequence, where did I find myself? In a little area that resembled my basement, at least the portion where the washer and dryer are. Apparently I was going to dry my clothes, but I forgot to wash them first. I didn't want to go back through the sequence so I was trying to figure out of the dryer could disinfect the clothes anyway. Around this time, I remember being with a girl, a friend, maybe a girlfriend, except I didn't remember her being there going through the sequence. It's like she popped up and it was as if she was always there.
The rest is pretty hazy from there, except one bit where I stab myself with a letter opener, specifically one my dad had slightly sharpened to glide better through paper (this was real, by the way, he used the lawn sharpening Dremel attachment). Except it wasn't quite me, like it looked like me, or was in third person. Then he lay dead, or dying rather, and some kid asked about the clothes in the dryer, and he, or I or whoever, half got up and in a rather chipper voice (alive, not dead, happy even) said that they were disinfected and he could use them if he needed two.
Then I woke up, and wondered what the hell it was all about. I think they were two seperate dreams, but linked, the "link" being where my dad wasn't allowed to drive over 8 minutes and the Gene Simmons being my father, and the two dreams being the Gene Simmons performing part and the forest dryer thing being the second. I know something happened before the live backyard part, but I'm not sure what it was. It was like a whole nother segment to the dream, but I seem to have lost that part.
So yeah, is that odd or what? I have this other, which was a month ago maybe, that I think was partially influenced by some UT levels, Escher prints of the crazy staircases (you've all seen those right?) and something at my school...but that one's for another day.
