I'm attending some kind of school for ninja. Dinnertime involves putting all the food on a merry-go-round and spinning it so that the faster and more clever students are able to grab more to eat, and the less adept tend not to get as much. I fall into the second category, of course, but I do manage to snag at least a couple handfuls of blueberries.

For some reason, a lot of the other students are moving out, including one who oddly resembles Sasuke from Naruto. I beg him not to leave, since he's one of the few friends I've got. Though I couldn't persuade him to stay, he gave me a big stuffed animal, and then asked if he could keep a box of crayons I'd just had lying around the room.

Some time later, I'm outside an enormous school building where some of the other students are standing around, including one of my IRL friends with whom I've fallen out of touch. I say hello to him, but he doesn't respond, and turns around and walks inside.

Inside, the building is fraught with tunnels and booby-traps, and to get anywhere is a challenge. One such challenge involved getting through a series of rooms, some of which were full of lava, in order to find cat toys to appease an evil kitty in control of that section of the building. Getting to the top rooms is even trickier, because there are guards everywhere - especially just hanging around the walls on the outside. I take out some of the guards with an energy whip that I produce from the palm of my hand (somewhat like a cross between a grappling beam and a Spidey-esque webshot, only invisible and not sticky) but I have to be careful which ones, as they start shooting at me if they notice, and I have to duck back inside.

At some point, I find myself over a football field, where a bunch of guys are kicking balls off the balcony and seeing how far they fly. I use my energy whip to throw balls, hoping to knock off more of the guards. Then just about everybody in the school gets called into the field (including the guards) to practice singing a graduation song, and I duck back outside thinking I'll be in the clear for at least a while. But soon the guards are right back where they were again. The next time I get spotted, the guards call in a helicopter, and I cycle through a Metal Gear Solid-esque weapons menu to find a rocket launcher with which I take down the copter. This causes a little message to pop up saying I've earned an achievement for saving this one girl who may or may not have been one of my ninja classmates.

Another guy tells me he's taken care of most of the guards, and that I should be able to get to the top of the building now, where there's supposedly some sort of party or dance going on. I'm very nearly there, but there are two more guards on a catwalk a few feet below the spot where I'm hiding, and I cycle through my weapons menu again to find a tranquilizer pistol. I manage to hit the guards, but after that point I wake up.


This dream contains video game influences (especially MGS), people I haven't seen in forever, anime characters, and being back in high school.
