dream log wtf
We were living in this large old house. There were about 5 dead people in our kitchen, poorly hidden. Not really our fault but think of how it would look! My brothers were all younger than they are now. People kept trying to come in and check the place out to do repairs and modifications. It was a beautiful old house but not in the best repair. I kept heading them off by stretching myself across doorways and pointing out things that needed to be worked on. I turned two people away and then declared - in a state of near panic - that we had to pack up and leave. I don’t know why we were in such a situation, but it was dreadfully scary. I scrambled to pack up a few essentials and we were in the car and on our way.
There was somthing not-right about the drive, something ominous in the air. This realization came too late. In a wooded area, a suspicious looking tower loomed off to our left. All pipes and yellow and satellites sticking off it and no-nonsense red lights. It was then that I knew something awful was going to happen any second. A flash of light (fired from the tower perhaps?) and a massive tree came crashing down on our van with all inside. I watched the whole thing happen from the outside of the vehicle, like a movie or an out of body experience. It was then that I returned to the vehicle or at least closer to it and discovered that pretty much everyone was okay, except for my father who had been stabbed deeply in the leg by a branch. I panicked, there was no help for miles.
I was swept away from the scene, and past the ominous tower, to find myself being flapped at to indicate I needed to get into hiding by a bunch of children. They were dressed like alice in wonderland figures (at first, although I seem to recall that changed), appearing from behind and underneath things. I’d say there were about 7 or 8 of them total, various sizes and ages. They too had been ripped away from their families on that dreadful road.
The scenery changed. Now instead of forest all around, where the “tower” was situated was a giant horus head atop a large building, and there were other buildings around, and streets as well. A small patch of city. The children and I were still nestled mainly in country area, mostly open field by a small river. We had to continue to duck and run and hide. when spotted, there would either be terrible lasers fired, or strange soldiers who would come around and meanace us all, but only go after the one who’d been spotted. Eventually, we decided to make our escape up the river and away from this evil forever. We gathered up our belongings and dashed for the river, spotted more than once but once we hit the river we were fine. We sailed away in waxed cardboard boxes and large plastic bins. Although it dawned on me that we had no oars and we were trying to go against the current in a moment when I was half awake.
Then it was time for more exciting things. Someone hid something deep in the ocean, guarded by an ancient lock, a small portion of a much larger system of… something. First there was a backyard hide-and-seek type contest, trying to maneuver this item that showed how many steps were left to go to find this thing, etc. There were fireflies, it was mostly dark out.
A heavy pendant was found, it opened up in a manner that’s similar to the puzzle box from The Mummy, but the shapes weren’t very regular. It consisted more of outlines of abstractions. A vague elephant shape, a circle, some kind of awkard angular shape, etc. There was a lot of exotic boat travel and I’m pretty sure I had sex with David Bowie too. That was unusual at best. I dived under the ocean to attempt to open the lock but I wasn’t able to. Some of the shapes fit but I didn’t do it right and all these figures arose from the holes in the sea floor. I believe I woke up after that.
