I had this dream around 2001, but I love it. I dreamed I was the ambassador to Japan, but I plotted against them, and a chemical attack I had planned caused me to mutate into Godzilla. After a brief bout of terrorizing Japan, I was captured, put in very very large handcuffs, and put on trial for war crimes. I was allowed to pick my attorney based on the number of questions they'd allow me to ask during the trial. Where I am a giant fire breathing lizard. I pick the one that'd allow me to ask the most questions at 23. She was a short plump woman with a positive attitude. The trial was brief and I never even bothered to use the allotted questions. I was, of course, found guilty and sent to prison. The prison itself was a mall. Each cell was where a shop would normally be, but the walkways, fountains, escalators, all remained in place. I was seen off by my parents, my dad was flying a giant toy airplane, and shot a giant toy missile at me, which bounced harmlessly off my... snout? I was place in a cell and suddenly I wasn't Godzilla anymore, but I had wings and a tail, like the dragon transformation from Breath of Fire IV. I was in a cell with a friend of mine, but we were given free time in the yard. We met a female prisoner who also had wings, however she gave them up to a cruel guard in an act of kindness that somehow made him nicer. Our time outside the cells was practically spent in open air. We spent it planning our escape. We walked around to an area resembling a construction zone and waited to ambush passersby for the things we needed for our escape. After letting several people pass by the girl struck an old lady daintily in the back of her head and took her pocket watch while she was unconcious. I know we were all in prison, but this act surprised and shocked me with its audacity. We enacted our escape and ended up in a donut shop at night. The police began pursuit and we got in a taxi who was fully complicit in our escape. He was trying to shake off the police, and the last thing I remember before waking was him saying were a distorted lyrics of the Billy Idol song Dancing With Myself, "Let me sink another shrink (referring to police somehow), cause it'll give me time to think." I woke up with my alarm playing that song on the radio.
I've got lots to catch up on in entering my DJ here. Each post will be one night's dreams. I dreamed of a movie theatre at a mall. It was dark and grimy even outside the theatres. I saw my cousin in one of the theatres as I wandered around and decided I should pay before I watch a movie. I head toward the lobby and stop by a bar area to get a drink. A man who'd been sitting next to my cousin followed me out and started taking jabs at me in conversation because I wasn't drinking alchohol. He was surly and got escorted away by the staff. Spilled some of his drink. I went to pay for the movie and had several conversations with staff, but can recollect little of the content. Some of them were talking about a closure, some were talking about me or at least seemed to know of me, and some were talking about an old folks home that housed retired military personel. I walked through the circular doors clockwise despite the fact that counter-clockwise would have taken me back to my destination faster. I ended up in some random course that was actually outside and had events I had to participate in. I don't remember precisely what they were, but I know my actions in one somehow left the attendant there in disgust. /shame... I dreamed of magic and using the power to speed from rooftop to rooftop in the night. There were three of us? I don't remember any specific descriptions. There was a fight at the end of this dream but it was early in the knight and despite some incredible imagery, the means to describe it has faded. I dreamed of a movie theatre (again?) / speed dating thing. Which ... didn't even work in a dream. We would try and somehow meet someone at random in the dark in a movie theatre while it was playing... without moving. We'd occasionally switch movies. I dreamed I was in North Carolina and we owned a football team... which we had apparently buried underground years ago. We excavate them and they're fine. Somehow doing that gives us a power overtime and life and death. So we take a vacation to a lush and beautiful beach. The hills were a verdant green, and the sea was the perfect blue you rarely see in real life. It was apparently a vacation spot with pristine buildings near the shore and the path to the beach was both a trail for riding animals (and exotic mounts as they said in a commercial in the dream which included killer whales) as well as a tram. We ended up being pursued by someone who desired the power we had. We ended up in a duel on a train somehow. I somehow think FF VI music was playing? Decisive Battle maybe? I get that impression... The remainder of the dream was a constant shifting combat. I was a with a girl and our powers required the pair of us to work. The opposition were identical twins, one male, one female. My ally or I would take damage, but the other could reverse it. We repeatedly sacrificed ourselves while leaping to obtain some object that they'd taken, relying on our partner to revive us. The enemy was very fast and agile and had set up traps ahead of time causing the fight to become extended and acrobatic. Flips, dodges, jumping from one train car to the next, battles for control over gasoline and fire and containment of the enemy that simply wouldn't die or stay dead. Eventually with the female pair, locked in combat in one compartment, and I and the other confronting one another in the other I refused to make a motion to kill him, but he didn't give me the same regard. His actions backfired and he was engulfed in flames. I woke up here.
