Merlin, Chronicles of Amber

This dream was basically based on some books I’ve been reading. You can skip the next paragraph if you want to see my comments on the books without reading my dream.
I had a dream the other night that my father (who was not my real father) was going away on business to either Egypt or Las Vegas. We (some friends and I) wanted to go with him so we cast a spell on our car to follow him. My friend wanted a girl across the street to come too so I called her and invited her, which was weird because I hated her roommate. She said okay. When it was time to leave, the car started flying to the place my dad was at. When we got there, we found the place to be really cool, and we wanted to be able to come back to it but knew we wouldn’t remember nor be able to get to it easily. I had an idea. I went to the library to talk to Merlin so he could make me a trump of the place. I started yelling out his name, realizing that most people would think I was crazy and talking about the fictional Merlin from King Arthur, etc, not the real one (who is, indeed, fictional). I couldn’t find him, but some fat little kid started making fun of me, saying that Merlin wasn’t real and magic didn’t exist. I floated in the air and choked him without touching him until he cried. And that was the end of the dream.
I guess I’ve been doing a lot of thinking about the novels. The Amber Chronicles, starting with The Nine Princes In Amber by Roger Zelazny. It’s a ten book series with two five book cycles (one being the original and the other written at a later time) about Amber, the one true city. Amber casts shadows, which are basically dimensions. For instance, we live in shadow. The series is about the royal family of Amber who have the ability to walk through shadow. There’s a lot of magic artifacts in it, magic casting in the second cycle, plotting, family intrigue, back stabbing, and a hell of a lot of sword fighting. It’s very good if you like sci-fi / fantasy. All ten novels can be found in The Great Book of Amber.

Dream the Other Night

I had an interesting dream the other night. I was at some sort of school / corporation where I studied / worked. It was early in the morning, around dawn, and some friends and I were breaking into a neighboring building / business. We were trying to steal some information, I think. I’m not sure. People began to show up for work there though so we attempted to act like we belonged there and to walk out. It worked. Outside there were a lot of alleys and stairs, but we made it out unnoticed.
After getting back, I hung out for a little bit. Now, I think it’s around this time in the dream that the school / corporation became a magic school / corporation. Like, wizards went there and worked there. Maybe it’s because of Goblet of Fire opening this week. I dunno. But anyways, we were going to go somewhere soon, and the best way to leave the school was by plane. We were waiting to take off for a very long time, but weren’t being given permission. I wanted to find out why so I tried to ask around. A teacher told me to check administration thinking I meant why I personally wasn’t being allowed to, but it was more our plane and the conditions. So I got fed up and went outside for a walk.
Now somewhere in here I was looking for presents at my grandfather’s house. Then he, with my aunt and uncle and me, were driving around on a rickety bridge over a lake. And then I was in the lake. And then I was outside the school again.
I heard this booming voice say “a vision of the future” or something like that, and then I could see some sort of meteor coming. I ran down an alley and into a church. There were a few people in the church with me. Then, after, hearing a loud crash, I went back outside. Everything was burning, and most building were flattened. The school was ruined. The church was the only building that was okay. There were some people that were fucked up looking. Not like hurt or bleeding. Just tweaked.
And then everything went back to normal. Except, even though the other people were still people, they were different. I knew they were out to get me or sometihng. This kind of reminds me of Doom, except they were demons or zombies. Just out to get me or something. So I ran into the school. The farther in I got, the more and more of them there were. I kept running up flights of stairs until I reached the very top. I started to get cornered against a railing. Each floor was like a ring and you could look down the middle and see all the lower floors. It was all open. Except that they weren’t evenly lined up, and there were bridges and walk ways.
Having no where else to go, I jumped off and had to navigate through the air to keep from hitting birdges and other floors. I wanted to keep falling. And I had to avoid the hands of those people. And then I used magic to keep from dying when I hit the bottom.
And that was my dream.
Falling was cool.

StarWars

I had a dream last night that the Earth was under attack by a fleet of ships that resembled Star Destroyers. In the dream they were Star Destoryers, but they weren’t as strong as the actual (er… fictional?) ones. I was a pilot flying a small ship outside of the atmosphere, and I was fighting the fleet. Later, I was back on Earth at a school, I think, but it appeared to be mostly social (as is real school, I suppose). Most people on Earth didn’t know what the attacking fleet because there was a large government cover up, although it was pretty obvious that something was going on (hell, people could see it). A man showed up with a woman. The man was a high official of the enemy and threatened me. The woman had a nasty tongue but didn’t actually do anything. There was a small fight, and he threatened to hurt some woman who was with me that I cared about. I think she was my sister. The two enemies left, and I admitted to the people in the area about the truth of the starting war.
Cool.

RPG

I had a dream that a powerful ball of string from a school on some other planet/world/dimension got under a bed where I was staying. A team of people showed up trying to get to it, but without letting on what they wanted. Somehow, I had found out what they were seeking. Eventually, someone(s) made the decision to retrieve it, and the principal ran to get it. I got in the way to block him. I was trying to shove him back, and he was trying to get past me. We locked eyes, and then the world around us started flashing before we entered the “battle screen.” It was so amazing. But then I woke up.
I don’t care if Monday’s blue. Tuesday’s gray, and Wednesday too. Thursday, I don’t care about you; it’s Friday, I’m in love.

Amy Tan

I had a dream last night that I went to a clothes store with Toni, Gemma, and I think Jaysen. We were looking at shirts when Gemma suggested we all have dinner. We started to walk away, but I noticed a shirt I wanted so I went back. The store owner shoved me, took my ring, and tried to take something else I had. He threw my ring to a woman who turned out to be Amy Tan. Then, he shoved me, and Amy Tan tried to strangle me. I eventually got the ring back and ran outside with Amy Tan following me. I tried calling for the police, but I had lost my voice. Finally, I found two midget cops who tired to help me. Amy Tan got away though.
I don’t really like Amy Tan. I don’t want to do an in-class essay about her.

Fighting

I had a dream that I went to a magic shop (actual magic) with a group of friends. Then, we went to some school. We ran into this group of people who hated us. Robby, who was with us, said something, and a guy from the other group made fun of him. I punched up, and we started fighting. Then, someone else from my group fought another guy from the other group. Some woman blew a whistle and looked at us. I stood up, pulled the guy I was fighting up, and told him to tell her that he was okay. He did. Then, I commanded a girl from the other group to pick up the other guy, her friend, and have him do the same. She did, and the guy complied. I then noticed how hot the girl was. I told her, and she responded by telling me that she was thirteen. I sort of got confused, and then woke up.

Meteor Shower

I had a dream last night that I was staying at some house on the top of a large hill / small mountain. Many of my family and friends were there too. I went to an industrial place, some sort of old, run-down factory or warehouse or something, with Hanah and Herbert, I think. We went to an area that used to be enclosed but had fallen apart and was now exposed to the outside. There were pipes and gears lying around. I notice a red hot rock skipped across the ground and skid to a stop. I couldn’t figure out what it was at first but after looking up, saw many more falling. It was a meteorite shower. I think my brother was with me at this point, but I also think there was some girl that I cared about there. I rushed to her to pull her back under shelter, because she wasn’t moving. I don’t remember what happened after that.

Roommates, Swimming, Whale

I had a dream that at UCI one cycles roommates. Antonio was my roommate to start, but it would switch around. One day, we’re just hanging out when we’re told that it’s time to switch. Now I was rooming with Thao (Linh-Nam’s Thao) even though I expected to be rooming with Jaysen. There was a pool outside so I went swimming. It was the middle of the night by this time. Next to the pool was a building. I didn’t know what was in it, but the door was unlocked so I went in. Somehow, inside the little building, there was an ocean. I went swimming, but an angry whale started chasing me. I swam back over to the sofa (yeah), climbed out, and left. Then, I went back to my dorm to shower (showers were in the dorm rooms) and went to bed.

Whatever

I had a dream that I was with my grandmother at a storage shed. It was filled with my grandfather’s luggage. And then I went to the beach with Gian and Cheryl. We were looking across a bay at the city on the other side, and it was very beautiful. We talked about swimming to the other side but decided not to. Then I was playing a first person shooter… but I was in it rather than on a computer. And finally, I went to some stretching/yoga/something class with Jaysen and I think Herbert.
o.O

boring

I had a dream that I was at CAMS. At one point, I was physically fighting with Medina. Then, some girl was yelling at me. I yelled back something like “you wouldn’t want to hurt my chance at getting admitted to college, would you.” She tried to grab me, but I floated away. I could sort of fly but not very well. It was more floating, and while I could reach the roof of buildings (small buildings anyways), I still struggled to do so.
