I woke up at 6:15 this morning, my sister had to leave work early, so i had to tag along to get dropped off at LAC along the way. My Friday class doesn’t start until 9. It’s 7:15, so…. I have a little under 2 hours to kill.
Dream 1 - The Store
I could recall having 4 dreams, the first one being in a store. I don’t remember much from this one so I’ll give out the main details. I was in a store, with a friend. Shopping. Can’t remember what we were shopping for, but I do remember me looking for it and picking out the right variety or brand. Anyways, my phone starts to ring. Forgot either it was someone calling or just an alert reminder.
Dream 2 - Japan I (The Confrontation)
Next thing I know, I was in what could best be described as Japan’s Time Square. I was in the middle of the street, with some friends, of whom I do not know in reality, must’ve been projections of random people I’ve seen somewhere. I guess they were colleagues of mine, since none of us were Japanese. Two of them were messing around in front of me, one in the left lane, the other in the right, and I standing smack dab in the center. A parade was coming towards us.
I could recall the first float being of a primarily red color, and a secondary yellow color. After the first float passed us, this Asian guy, with glasses, and a nice business suit, marched down. Then somewhere along that point, I guess that the guy was the CEO of Toshiba. For no apparent reason, I start to act as a big fan to this guy and took out my Toshiba laptop for him to see. I place it down in front of him, but he returned with me an irritated look on his face. He nearly stepped over my laptop! I glance back at my friends to see what I did wrong, they pointed at the building in front of me. Red and White confetti started to rain from the sky in the foreground and a skyscraper in the background a some yards away. The windows of the first 3-4 floors had a large company name enlarged and displayed, at a vertical angle: TAKESHI. I look to my laptop, Toshiba, then at the windows, TAKESHI, back to my laptop, Toshiba, and again to my friends for a confirmation.
“Euh, is “TAKESHI”…, “Toshiba”, in Japanese”, I asked.
“No”, they all shrugged.
I immediately felt embarrassed. Phone rings. I tried to end it. Wouldn’t work. So I took off the back cover and removed the battery. I look up.
Dream 2 - Japan II (The Streets)
It was evening. The parade had long gone. The red and white confetti lay stagnant on the concrete. I start to shiver. A friend gives me a blanket. I started to feel tired. Fell asleep on the asphalt. Didn’t get to sleep long, this Japanese guy walked by and gave me this scolding look. A couple more came and did the same. I thought to myself, I guess this what makes America and Japan different, they don’t tolerate the homeless. LOL. Phone rings.
Dream 3 - The Submarine I (The Open Seas)
I was on top of a deck of a submarine (outside) in the open water. It was bright, sunny, and calm. The crew I was with were looking for this guy. I guess we were the “good guys” trying to catch this “bad guy” before he strikes again. Anyways, I don’t remember much on this part. All I can say is that this friend of mine, Andy, had to go use the bathroom.
Dream 4 - The Library
Hours seem to pass and I was standing in a bookstore in the middle of the ocean. Yes. A library docking station in the middle of nowhere. Don’t recall what we were looking for, but some time passes and we were waiting in line at the cashier. While my friend was getting out his money, my phone starts to ring. It seemed to ring louder than before this time. The clerk gives me this menacing look. I nervously smile back and grabbed out my phone. Again, the “End” button didn’t work so I removed the back cover and placed my fingertips along the battery. It took me a while, but I finally managed to yank out the bastard. It kept ringing. Staggered, I showed it the guy and he merely gave me this indifferent look on his face. I grinned back nervously and raced to get the damn thing to shut off. It stop. Once that ordeal was over, we headed towards the exit and I could faintly hear the television from the front desk. Something about this hitman who uses chloroform on his every victim. Didn’t linger long to hear more. We got on the sub.
Dream ??? - The Submarine II (Betrayal)
We had just stepped on the sub when Andy opened the hatch and came out.
“Well, its about time”, he asked.
“Well, the last time I saw you, you were in the bathroom.” Pause. “You didn’t just came out, did you?”
But before he could answer, a huge mako shark sprang out of the water and ate him. Confusion and panic erupted on deck and this voice on an intercom starts to talk. Everything was going so fast, all I could recall him saying was that it was a pleasure whatever. The chase was fun whatever. Too bad… whatever… end like this… whatever. So and so set a trap for you… whatever. We all went down into the hatch and discovered that the whole command room was filled with mutilated corpse of shark (presumably mako). On the screen were flashes of our culprit. It was the TECHNICIAN GUY- whoever…. that was with us all along. The guy was nowhere to be seen. It seems as though he was working for our “bad” guy all along, the chloroform hitman! And now the scent of dead shark will attract its friends to avenge its death. Ring.
====THE END====
Some way to die, huh? Okay. Well it didn’t exactly end that way. We didn’t have an “unhappy ending”. But I woke up immediately afterwards that I can’t say how it actually went down. My phone’s alarm was blaring off. And got out, ran towards my phone, pressed on the snooze button, and went back to bed. I could hear my sister rushing to and fro to get ready. I waited comfortably underneath my covers, conserving as much warmth as I could possibly can in the freezing room. Waiting for my sister to come and say,
“Wake up! You’re gonna make me late. Remember, 7:45.”
I kept my head under the pillows. Then the phone starts to ring again. This time I pressed the “Disarm” option. The clock read 7:20. I stood up and got ready. Backpack, check. Notebook, check. School catalog, check. My dreams were still fluent in my head, but I didn’t have time to jot them down. So I got the next best thing. Laptop, check. AC adapter, check. And off we go.
Along the way I tried hard to remember all the things that occurred during my sleep. While thinking about them, I remember that the other night, I was watching an episode of season 3 of Eureka. It was right after Sheriff Carter was discharge and replaced by a nanobot android prototype named Andy. He kept on getting hurt (or crushed to bits) and rebuilt throughout the whole episode. Also, last night I was playing Batman: Arkham Asylum on my Xbox 360. I stopped playing and saved the game after I got to the point after I captured Harley Quinn and now have to find out where she’s been by tracking her recent prints that had traces of chloroform.
Some dream(s)huh?
