Man, I sometimes have the weirdest dreams. Like, novel length ones. O.o
The longest one I can clearly remember I had last year... in the Spring, I think. Maybe Winter. Seasons change my dreams quite a bit.
Anyways, it starts out with me swimming through some tropical ocean wearing SCUBA gear. The water is maybe forty, fifty feet and crystal clear. I become aware that I'm not alone. Most of my ROTC battalion is with me. We're a special forces team of some kind. But, like everything else ROTC does, we have a bunch of hangers-on following us to mooch our food and take pictures for yearbook and newspaper and shit.
So we're trying to convince all the others not to come with us, since there are a bunch of drug runners/smugglers on the island we're approaching and it could be very dangerous. They blow us off. Then all of a sudden there's a car on the ocean floor- with a dead body rotting away inside of it. Then another. And another. Apparently, these smugglers dispose of their enemies by sinking them in their own vehicles. Weird. One of our officers, let's call him J, comments on a nice BMW with some guy in a suit rotting in it. True to form, a slutty chick I hate makes some comment about how sexy she thinks BMWs are and everyone tells her to never use the word sexy to describe something with a dead body in it.
So we get on the island and start setting up a forward base in an abandoned restaurant in the middle of the jungle. I'm sent to recon the back, and find a bunch of ghosts acting like they have no idea the place is abandoned and there are trees growing through the kitchen. They ignore me until I crunch a branch or something, then they start moaning at me and I leave, reporting back to our Captain. He decides we're going to stick it out with the ghosts, since we're unlikely to find better cover and the smugglers won't get close to it.
So we set up all of our gear, and I go out with a small team to recon the HQ of the smugglers. It's a comically oversized (like, doors twenty feet tall) gothic mansion. In the middle of the jungley-swampy island.
They have a bunch of crates and briefcases full of stuff, and are mostly situated on the lower floor. We report this to the captain, and he reports that ectoplasmic scans have picked up large amounts of hostile ghost activity on the upper levels, which explains why they weren't up there. I'm dozing off while the other officers are deciding on a course of action, when I hear my name and realize that I'm being voluntold (volunteered by someone who isn't me) to go on the mission to rile up the ghosts and pit them against the smugglers. It's just going to be me and J, since he's big and strong enough to carry all of our gear and I'm stealthy and smart enough to set everything up without being caught.
We have to cross the moat to get to the mansion, and my dream fades out with us knocking over a dead tree to use as a bridge over the lime-green mossy water.
Some time later I'm running through the mansion with ghosts hot on my tail, knowing that if I can just take them to the smugglers, they'll leave me alone and go to town on the people they really hate, the ones who have been disturbing their sleep for the past few months.
Weird dream. But fascinating. First person POV movie, starring me. XD Lots of fun, but I woke up and pretty much wondered wtf is wrong with my head.
