So the bad news is that I'm pretty sick at the moment. In fact, I woke up about 5 times last night for about 30 minutes each last night. Though it really sucks because I should be finishing my thesis right now, but my brain is pretty much too fried to concentrate. The good news (I suppose) is that I get some really interesting, vivid dreams when I'm sick (even if they're not lucid), and most (if not all) tend to have a very grungy theme to them. Words don't really do it justice, but the experience is pretty interesting - dirty landscapes, dystopian futures, chance of death around every corner. Fun stuff. So until I get better, the next few nights will be known as Grungefest 2016 (unless I get sick again later this year *knocks on wood*).

I'm in this video game that's a mix between Prop Hunt, Call of Duty: Zombies, and the Hunger Games. The basic premise: me and a couple other people are trying to survive in a rundown building by finding several items we need to escape. But a ton of bad guys are trying to kill us, and they have the power to transform into any object. They are often even known to transform into other humans to gain your trust before killing you.

Right now, I'm going around with my boss, trying to find a safe that will be unlocked by a key we just found. After checking the map several times, we finally find the marked location - a broken down cubicle in a dilapidated office complex. There's a safe on the desk, so I try opening it with my key. The key turns, but not all the way, so I can't open it. "Uh, Chad, this key isn't working."
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah, I've tried it just about every way I can. Try looking around, there's got to be another safe around here."
"Uh, don't look now, but there's a cabbage behind you..."
I freeze. Cabbages are one of the favorite transformations of the hunters. They're small, inconspicuous, and heck, no one pays attention to cabbages. I slowly turn around to get a look for myself. There, in the windowsill, is a large green ball.
"Dude, that's a watermelon. It's totally fine. Hunters can't turn into watermelons."
"Yes, but they can turn into Bill Murray."
Outside the window by the watermelon, I can make out the silhouette of Bill Murray in the darkness. He has a very creepy smile, and I immediately get scared that he might come inside. Both me and Chad run off.

Much later, I'm outside the main building, having just found one of the required items to escape. I'm walking back to headquarters, when a guy in a gorilla suit tackles me, takes my item, and runs off. I give chase, but he jumps on a motorcycle and starts to drive away. He starts to get away, but I notice he mostly stays on the sidewalk, so I cut across the grass, running at a surprisingly fast pace, until I cut him off up ahead. I jump and grab hold of the handlebars, pushing the guy in the gorilla suit out of the way. He unfortunately doesn't fall off completely, but instead manages to grab onto my leg as I drag him along. He laughs. "You've made your last mistake." I immediately know what he means - he's one of the hunters. He pulls out a very large vial with what I assume is poison and stabs it into my leg. I slowly feel my entire leg go numb, followed by the rest of my body. As the world around me fades to black, I hear him laugh one more time. "Nighty night..."

All I see around me is darkness, and in the middle before I wake up I see in white, bold letters, "Game Over".
