Yet another incredibly realistic dream took a turn.
Since it messed with my head, I'll share to allow it to do the same to others:
Opening Scene- I was at a friend's house, who lived near Up the Lake. He doesn't live there anymore, but the Dream Location Crew didn't do their research.
One of his relatives was giving me a hard time, yelling insults and threats.
I'm not sure if he was a generic dream extra, or supposed to be someone I knew who was poorly cast.
Along with verbal abuse, he started spraying me with the garden hose. I tried to move away but the range on the hose was impossibly far - as in it could reach a couple of blocks away.
Therefore, I decided to ignore him and go for a walk.
It was an exceptionally long walk, and not just due to the insane range on the hose.
This is because he sent a woman walking after me to continue insulting and threatening me. She was a regular person, definitely not a zombie. However, she looked somewhere between one of those and a person with a horrendous skin condition and no attachment to hygiene.
It would have been nice to ignore her, but she was carrying her dilapidated and filthy stuffed animal, a bunny rabbit. She would hurl the nasty thing at me with annoying regularity. That meant I had to keep looking back so I knew when to dodge or deflect the incoming ickiness.
The Dream Set Designers did a fantastic job recreating the dirt road for part of the walk, but a large portion also took place in a generic, suburban, back lot set.
In that section, I needed to use the rest room, and stopped in a stranger's house. As one does. (Or as one more often than we probably should have done when walking in that area to get "sun tan lotion.")
My plan was to lay low in whoever's home I barged into for a while until she left.
Unfortunately, I could hear her voice coming through a four inch square air vent in the floor. Then one of the screws started to wind its way out, pushed from the inside.
Perhaps she wasn't a regular person.
I left and continued walking away from her a bit more, until I ended up outside the Chapel building at RPI. (This is about a two hour drive from my starting point. I did state it was an exceptionally long walk. )
The original guy that was harassing me was there, adding to the festivities by being armed with an automatic pistol, amplifying his threats considerably. The woman was still coming.
However, while concerned for my health, I did notice another individual over to the side.
There was a guy in a suit wearing sunglasses and a headset. He was holding a clip board.
This was when I knew I was in a dream...
Because one of the Dream Production Staff had accidentally had walked onto the set and was in the shot.
Realizing where I was, and that I was technically this person's boss, I demanded I be given Matrix like powers to stop the bullets. He called it in and I prevented myself from being shot, Then I picked the bullets out of the air.
I followed up with a second requirement that the bullets be made explosive and threw them at my opponent.
When the now exploded jerk started to mutate into some kind of thing, I ordered my clip board wielding, mentally generated underling, "I am done with this dream, WAKE ME UP NOW!"
And I did... to a more highly confused state than my usual highly confused state.
