I've been gaming a bit much recently, mainly via Orbiter, which is a space flight simulator designed for realism. I finally made a successful Hohmann transfer to Mars and (although I didn't quite land it successfully) had been congratulating myself all night.
It's sad; no one really cares when you fly 25 million miles and bullseye your mark if it isn't real.
Anyway, that's some good background information for what really was a fairly strange dream. The dream itself was riddled with moments of blurry lucidity, but I don't remember most of it.
I was running from someone, I believe, and I jacked someone's car. In the typical manner of dreams, the scene shifted and I found myself in low Mars orbit (in a 'Vette). Actually making this landing flawlessly in a crater on the dark side of mars, I was set upon by some fairly strange monsters.
This part was just like a combat scene in a video game. In fact, I remember some points where I was watching myself battle from an isometric view. There were crablike things, dark brown in color, who had six legs. There was a pteranodon sort of thing that apparently took a liking to me and for the rest of the dream was my companion and mount. Finally, there was a zombie-looking thing.
I do remember a female voice telling me at some point that "Mars people are cavemen so you can't kill them", which made perfect sense at the time.
Hearing the voice of reason, I headed toward an oval of light in the edge of the crater that I apparently hadn't noticed. As I flew through on my new pet, I was teleported to some crystalline cavern that looked a bit like Superman's Fortress of Solitude. There was a river and an archway that led out into a heavily treed world.
It took on a vaguely MMORPG feel here, and I actually having a text-laden chat with another player. I showed off my pteranodon and she asked if it was a faculty thing and then walked away without finishing the conversation.
That's where my memory drops off. I think there was a bridge, but other than that I've got nothing.
Strange, writing a report on a dream that I barely remember. I hope that as my dreams get more vivid so will my explanations of them. Seems pretty boring at the moment.
