On Dreams.

Lately i've been having kick ass dreams, incredibily vivid and fast paced and randomly silly. So i figured maybe i'll keep a record of what i dreamt about. It wont be very detailed because i dont remember everything, but the bits and pieces i do, and the persons in the dream, i'll put it all down here.



The dream i can remember the most involved swords, trains, indian dudes, and my old school. Here's the layout of the area. You have a road, just like a lane, and it leads into a railway station through a gate in a high fence surrounding the station. The left of the road appeared to consist of a junk yard (not the smelly type, the type with tyres and scrap metal and shit. I cant remember what the other side was like.



So anyway, the road appears to stop as it meets the train track, whihc run perpendicular to the road, or parellel to the fence. It just stops there, i dont know how it leads the the platform. Now the platform in basically my old school. I'm too lazy to describe it, its to complex. Maybe you'll get a picture of it as the dream progresses.



The dream start off with me on the road, with an old indian friend of mine, V. There's a ramp shape made of all the scrap near the fence, and he's suggesting we use that to fly over the fence and rail way track, and unto the platform. I say no, because while he has one of those three wheeled buggies, and i'm on foot. He keeps insisting that i can make it, i just need to run fast, and i tell him he's insane. So anyway, he jumps (and it is a very spectacular one), and i use the gate.





The next part, i'm on the platform already. TK is there too, waiting for his train, which is supposedly one hour before the train i'm going to catch. We're waiting for the train, and then i decide to go inside the school/platform building. Before i went i told TK to tell me before he leaves (god knows where V went to). So i walk up the platform stairs, which are the stairs leading up the left side of my school. It leads straight into this room, a classroom, that normally would have chairs and tables and stuff, but instead, it had a bunch of guys sitting around a fire (fire on a wooden floor. Dont ask me how.)

Its not a very large fire, and they're sitting there talking quietly. Somehow i knew they were blacksmiths. And then one dude gets up, he looks alot like the head master of the school, and he leads me out from the room into the small school hall, and sitting there nicely looking completely natural, is this huge forge.

Then the dude tells me to make a sword. And i do. Cant remember how, all i remember is that it was really cool. So anyway, when i'm done i'm holding this blue sword. The blade itself wasnt blue, it just gave off this blue aura. It was shorter than a typical broadsword, heavier, and the blade was thicker and blunt.

So i decide to sharpen it. The head master dude takes me back to the room where the fire was, and instead of the fire there is now a whetstone, and the other men are gone. Then i start sharpening the sword, but no matter how i try, the sword doesnt get sharp. And then, leaning against the wall, i spot another broadsword. This one is longer and sleeker than the one i have, and has a red aura, with a very distinct red ruby in it. So i take that one, and keep both the swords.

Then i hear a train horn, and quickly run back onto the platform, just in time to see the train pull away, and TK gone. I dont know why (because TK and i arent exactly lovers or anything), but i decide to go after the train, and so i dash back into the school/platform, and head to the back. I go down the back stairs and reach the newer kindergarten room, where i'm ambushed by a bunch of midgets (maybe that recent episode of House M.D. caused it), whom i proceed to fight off with my two swords. Thats easily the best bit of the dream.


And from then on everything becomes a real blur. I vaguely recall defeating the midgets (i dont think i killed them though, cause there wasnt blood or anything), and running into the back field of the school, and finding the train there (bloody slow train, eh?). I'm pretty sure i jumped on the train, flashing my swords, and V made a second entrance somewhere along the line too, but thats about it.

Next thing i know, i'm starting a new day. But i woke up with this conviction that if i had lived back in the day, i'd have been a blacksmith. Funny conviction, but maybe i'll try making an old fashioned sword one day.



Vivid, complex. bizzare dreams. Stay tuned for tomorrow's one!



Screw Out.
