Dreamscape: From Crime To Politics

This is the first of many of my exerts from my recently started dream journal. I'm only gonna post the interesting ones, and I'll be labeling them as I have this post. Being that they're dreams, the stories may be incomplete, and they may make very little sense, but with any luck, they'll be entertaining to read. SO! On with the first entry of my weird dreams.

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

Let me set the scene here. I'm in my friend Scythe's car. In the car with me are: Scythe (Driving), Wraith, Jade, Max and a girl whom I do not recognize as anyone I've ever met before. We are driving to her house, and along our way I have it explained to me that we are planning to break into her house. I don't know why we're doing this, but apparently we are meeting a professional there...

So we arrive, and lo and behold, we meet a man clad in dark clothing and the traditional balaclava. He breaks in through the front door (I assume he picked the lock), and we're in. Now he starts to loot, being a burglar and all. And so does everyone else. Myself included I think... And it isn't long before the mysterious girl's mother shows up. A very large woman in a flannelette dress who looks like she just stepped out of a Monty Python skit, minus the rolling pin and hair curlers.

We are all escorted outside and she demands that we all open our bags. I slip away back to the car, to double check that I didn't steal anything, and it seems that my bag has nothing of hers in it. Which is odd because I'm sure that I had robbed her just about as blind as everyone else. She starts to tell everyone just how disappointed she is with them all, and how they're all banned from her home (I can't tell if this is supposed to apply to her daughter). Then she comes over to me, and I brace for impact. But it doesn't come. There is no assault on my person, verbally or physically. She instead tells me how she's heard wonderful things about me, and that she loves my guitar playing. In the dream, it seems that I have indeed played a guitar, but apparently I only know two songs, which I mumble under my breath.

So she then gathers us all in Scythe's car (but for some reason leaves Scythe behind), and we start driving. Now, this is a bit worrying at this point. It's kind of Mafia like... "Let's go for a little ride" sort of thing. We're driving, and she starts to sing a little. I don't recognize the song, but in all likelihood, it's just the song that was playing on my radio in the real world.

We start to drive along a road that is elevated above a field off to our left. The drop is about as high as the car's hood is to the ground, and it's a shear drop. And whether intentionally, or through lack of decent driving ability, we go over this small drop. Somewhat uneventful, but we get out and realize that the car is incapable of driving back up the drop, and for some reason, no one thinks to drive around...

The first time lapse occurs, and I find myself on a futuristic looking white train with just Max and Jade. Max get's up and presses a big blue button labeled "Thank You", which lights up blue happily. He then turns to Jade and get's shitty at him for not pressing it.

The second time lapse happens, and I find myself arriving at a train station with my bike, meeting up with Max and Jade who also have bikes (This seems irrelevant, but I'm leaving in every detail). We get on another futuristic train, and Max scowls at Jade, who get's up and hit's 3 different Thank You buttons.

The third and final time lapse passes, and we find ourselves at a UN Senate sort of place. Out of nowhere, the mother from earlier approaches us. Seems that she's the president of the world or something, and she wants me to replace her last senator. She then turns to the floor in the center of the building at the bottom of the 'senate' circular room thing. As she tells me each group that's voting for me, they all turn over these card's that make a big picture of their logo (much like sports fans sometimes do at sporting events).

Once it's clear that I've won the votes, a new man starts to approach, holding something in his hands, and holding his elbows out for some reason. There is also a very large cog/gear thing that is spinning next to him and hitting his right elbow constantly. This is making his left elbow flick back repeatedly due to what he's holding.

It is at this point that Scythe comes up the stairs, yelling angrily at us, demanding to know what we did with his car. "What the hell did you do with my car?!" He climbs the stares until he is along side the other man, and get's smacked repeatedly in the face by his elbow, which does nothing to dissipate his shouting. He in fact looks much like a robot that's going haywire, twitching and convulsing. Suddenly, the man ducks, and a large pole swings around the cog, and it cleanly removes the section of Scythe's forehead from his hairline down to his eyes, leaving the top 'cap' to fall back down onto the rest of his head. This does not stop his shouting either, but now he seems to have lost the ability to form coherent sentence structures. "You, did, car, what!?" etc.

And then I awaken from my sleep. Feeling very confused. It's one of the weirder dreams I've had in a long time...
