Dream sequence

Last night I had lots of dreams. The first one was one of those more-abstract-than-real reflex dreams where I am using Illustrator to design something. I don’t get to see what I create – I think my brain just wants to go through the motions of click – pull – zoom – alter – Ctrl/V or whatever other things I do over and over. I woke up a little, and felt cheated out of a more adventurous dream.

Wish given, I then had an epic dream – thematically much like Jurassic Park. There were a lot of dinosaurs, and they were roaming around a city. OK – I guess this makes it Lost World. In any case, I had to avoid the dinosaurs (I kid you not – there were gory scenes where other people get attacked and ripped apart), and go to the mall to rescue someone. I think it was Lena.

I got to the mall, dashed inside, and barred the doors. Then, in this so-far unoriginal dream, I realized that there were dinosaurs INSIDE THE MALL!!!!

Totally cheesy dream. I was on one side of the mall, at JC Pennys, and I had to get all the way over to Sears. As I sprinted, dodged, and snuck my way through the corridors, I noticed that there were people setting up new stores. I found this odd, what with the amuck dinos, but I stopped, because I had no idea that Dame Judy Dench was starting a signature line, or that next door Jody Foster had taken over the Container Store.

I woke up before I reached my sister. As I awoke, I had a forceful thought:

I must create a wiki page to document my dreams, and link them together when there are common themes or Academy Award winners.

That dream/thought was weirder than the dream itself. Ah well.
