Last night was terrible, the owners of the taco post across the street were making al sort of nasty noises (which included obnoxious donkey noises) and couldn't fall asleep until 2:00 AM. On the bright side, the moon was so beautiful that night, illuminating the darkness with a pale blue light. So that helped me relax and fall asleep a little.
As was to be expected I missed my class today after waking up late. I went to sleep again and I had a really sweet dream.
It started off really weirdly, I was playing L4D2 and for some reasone the water level was increasing as the zombies started to swarm us, At the end there was this tall metal tower with
faces all over it. THere was a square hole in it at the top. After we fell through it, we were in this dark cave with concrete pipes and plank stacks spread all over. Just then
SIX tanks started to chase us and we were promptly murdered.
But that wasnt the end, after evrything turned dark, I woke up in a desert valley of sorts with a bright golden sky, several large pyramids in the background, shrouded by sandy winds and, from what I would tell, the sun was going down.
There was some sort of sandstone citadel behind me where bird people with Ibis heads wearing egyptian garbs were walking out from it to harvest the palm trees that were growing on in a row outside.
Apparently, me (who looked really different from what I usually look like), and arabian princess, somebody whoo looked like Link and I dont remember which other characters (maybe there was a thief) had to go to get some artifact from a temple deep into the desert.
I was oftenly commenting how the bird people hated outsiders and that they would never let us go to the temple, but apparently, the princess sorted things out with them really quickly, come to think of it, the bird peple didnt even cared about our precence nearby their city. After all diplomacies were sorted up, we went up some stairs into a terrace which had a beautiful view of the desert and of a large pryramid which was just infront of us, as if it just appeared there. As the sun set, a powerful wind began to blow torwards us. The princess said we had to follow the path of the Sun to reach the temple, which was to my surprise, riding the desert winds. She told me to stretch my arms and jump when the wind became stronger. For a moment I thought we were gonna use magic carpets to travel so I got a little nervous and hesitated for a while before jumping.
Flying was incredible (as always), I had a little trouble getting used to controlling my flight, but eventually got the hang of it. When night fell we all flew into what seemd to be a palace of sorts, still looked very egyptian. APparently I was late compared to my companions so I got there last. the inside looked more like the interior of a mansion than of an egyptian palace. My partners wer in a relatively small room with two tall and slim glass windows at my right. THey were sitting down around a long table with a chandelier hanging on top, they were having dinner. I was too late to sit down so I wandered a bit outside the room and saw a square glass window on the ceiling. I could see a bunch of bandits with knives walking torwards it, they were going to attack us! So i ran back to the dining room to warn my partners. THe bandits tried to throw their knives at us but we dodged them and deflected them with our wrists. A rough battle took place and we emerged victorious. But then , the dream took a turn fo r the worst, the Grand Vizier broke through one of the dining room's windows as more bandits came into the room, we were serioulsy outnumbered at this point and were taken up by surprise. Apparently he had hired the bandits to come and get us, he kidnapped the princess and one of the bandits cut my arm off with a huge scimitarr, freaking gruesome! I didnt know what heppened to the rest of the party but I assume the bandits killed them.
I was then thrown into a dark dungeon and into a bed of spikes, I was bleeding profusely. Thankfully I have this ability to become aware I'm dreaming when the shit hits the fan, so , after i died and became a ghost, i struggled to open my eyes, which I eventually did.
You know that kind of works that start up as light-hearted and adventurous and then take a sudden dark twist for the worst when you least expect it. That was my dream, nevertheles, it was great to dream somehting so detailed and visually stunning after a long while!
This could be marking the beggining of a period of more inspiration and positivism.
