Serenity's Silver Millennium

The Assassination of Miranda Lake - Partial lucid - 1/5
Setting is Victorian period, and we're in this big mansion (possibly a political building).
Miranda Lake was a very well-to-do figure in the political scene. She is also something of a sorcerer, and she's evil. My "sister" (we are part of an underground movement, this DC was not my related sister) and I are to kill the sorcerer.

"The problem is," my sister was saying, "Whenever I get near her, I can't kill her. She has this magical spell protecting her that makes us adore her and unable to kill her."

"I'll back you, sister!" I said. "Be brave, we'll get through this together."

"It will probably feel like I'm killing my one true love," she warned. "I really need you in on this," she maintained.

"You have my word," I said.

We went into the room. Miranda knew what was up, and immediately put her spell to work. However, she chose the wrong person. She approached me and placed her arms on my shoulders. I immediately started to forget why we were here. I struggled to remain aware and wondered what was taking my accomplice so long.

"Do it now!!" I commanded.

A shot rang through the air, and Miranda's body crumpled before me. "We need to get out of here, and fast!" my sister warned me. We left the room. Someone else in our group was casting a spell of their own. The guards of the mansion would know what we'd done, but the spell cast would make them either unable to care, or unable to comprehend, it was something along those lines.

We left through the front of the building, and the guards were giving us the awkward eye, but they didn't move from their post. We decided to split up at this point and rendezvous at our headquarters.

I was jogging along this pathway... I was the last person in the group, on the path. There was another guy up in front of me (walking a dog), and more people along the way, ahead of him. I felt I really needed to catch up with my companions, especially since Miranda's spell would not have worn off my sister, yet.

I started catching up to the guy in front of me and jogged to the side to go around him. He moved with me. I moved to the other side, and he moved with me again.

I caught up and saw that it was Danny! And the dog he was with was Buttons (my former dog - she was put down 4 years ago). "How are you moving with me from all the way back there?" I asked him.

"I was intentionally trying to block you," he said.

"Oh... well, I really need to be catching up with the rest of the group," I said.

"How are you going to do that?" he asked... it seemed like he was leaning towards something, and I'm not catching on...

"I was going to jog..." I replied.

"Oh right, cos you're a great jogger!" he giggled... not maliciously, but he was taunting me, nonetheless.

I sped up and felt my legs go all slow and get that water legged feeling... "I suppose I could fly," I said, sort of cluing in.

Suddenly, my dog bared her teeth and attacked me! She bit onto my hand. It didn't hurt me. Danny knew this. "Why doesn't it hurt?!" he yelled. I fought off my dog.

I also misunderstood his question (stupid dream-logic) and answered, "She's attacking me because she's a spirit and knows I just helped kill someone!" (I think Danny actually facepalmed me here, but my dog was attacking me again, so I didn't see. But I bet he did). My dog was being even more aggravating now, so I literally pushed her off me and she fell onto the ground, on her back. She was stunned. I lost any lucidity too.

"What did you do?" Danny asked.

"Nothing... when I knock her out, she forgets why she was being aggressive," I answer. I knelt down and took her by her forepaws and started rubbing them.

"I think you've killed her again," Danny said (Oh thanks ).

Her eyes started fluttering though! I picked her up in my arms and carried her (vertically). She was completely pacified too. Danny, however, was pretty aggravated now, lol. "So NOW what are you going to do?! Carry her for the rest of the dream?!"

"Yep," I answered. Dream dissolved.
