The Devil's bag is full of Cotton and Candy
It’s night. I am wandering by the local mall in my town. I stroll into the parking lot and where there is a supermarket in real life – there is now some sort of bar slash/hangout filled with people. As I walk in, I’m sized up by a couple of guys with baseball bats. They’re dressed like gang members in 80’s blue jeans and denim. They don’t hassle me though as I look around.
The décor is wood paneling with amber lighting. Over the bar “Raiders of the Lost Ark” is being projected. However the projector is superimposing this webbing or cracks all along the edge of the film. I or someone else (Not quite sure) comments that this is like watching the film through the eyes of Sauron. Two movie references in one dream!
I try to talk to a few girls and they seemed friendly enough. I can’t seem to remember anything that was said or other specifics.
Suddenly, I’m alone. I’m now in a kitchen that has the same wood paneling and amber lighting as the bar. I have a feeling that I’m here to rob the place for some reason. The owner a slightly overweight older woman enters through a door left of me. There is a table with a set of strange knives. We each grab one. The knives are gray and not very large or intimidating, but the blade is shaped oddly. Similar to a Ghurka with a forward bent to the blade, but less pronounced and much smaller.
The woman tells me that some of the knives aren’t real. She asks me if I would risk a fight with a fake one. I grab another knife from the table and proclaim that my odds of possessing a real one have now doubled. She relents and suddenly her wallet is in my hands containing a few tens and twenties. I then rush out the door.
Now in real life I would be across town, but now I’m up the street from my house looking at an old shortcut I used to take all the time as a kid. I want to use it to facilitate my escape however it has been recently blocked off with a gray stone wall that has spikes along the top. It isn’t very high, so I climb up and avoid the spikes which are not very large. They are more decorative than functional.
Once on top I now see that I’m in a large chamber made of stone that is the same shade of amber as the bar. Inside the chamber, the wall I’m now standing on top of, turns out to be part of a labyrinth. The before mentioned spikes are simply decorative modules in groups of four shaped like a square. They line all the walls of the labyrinth, but I can pick them up and move them out of the way. I make my way across the maze by simply walking on top of the walls.
When I reach the end, I jump down and there is some sort of market. On the ground next to me is a big clear plastic bag filled with cotton with a logo featuring a devil on it. I take the bag and as I go to leave a girl stops me. She says that she packed the bag and wants to be sure nobody took anything from it. As she opens it up, it’s full of candy packed between the cotton.
She gives the bag back, and tells me that whoever gets the bag wins a date with her. I then ask her out and she says that she needs to make time as she is in a punk band with the acronym P.I.L or P.R.L. (Can’t remember exactly) She smiles at me and I notice that she has a large red tooth.
Then my alarm went off.
What’s really bugging me is the acronyms the girl tells me at the end. I googled both terms with “Punk” and one is indeed a Punk Band (No Girls though) and the other is … I guess a Punk festival in Warsaw. (Site’s in polish). Now I know next to nothing about punk music so unless I heard those acronyms somewhere subliminally?
