Bunch of broken dreams. Only remember a few things:
<O:p
Dream 1: In a house with my family. Maybe on vacation. Me and my dad were going through the scarier parts and closing windows, locking doors, etc., so the “bad” things couldn’t come and get us, or it just made us feel safer or something. Remember closing a big door-like hole in one of the walls. I told them I was going to go to New York City and I think we got in a small fight, with me pleading, “If not now, when?” and saying I had never been before but even mom had. We were going somewhere (home?) and couldn’t decide if we had enough time to get there in one day, it was 4:30, and I said, yeah, I’ve left at 4:30 before (from school?) and gotten home in one day no problem.
<O:p
Dream 2: In a war. I think I was part of the Americans and I was fighting either the Russians or Germans, can’t say for sure though. One scene I remember is it was me and 3 other guys. I was the ranking officer so I was commanding them. Our unit had been overrun and we were the only ones left, out in the battlefield, which resembled the Halo: CE mission 3, the one where you start off with the sniper rifle. I knew we were totally screwed but I was going to go down guns blazing if I was going to go down at all. I saw the enemy rapidly advancing towards us and order my men into a choke point that offered some rocks as cover.

I ordered 2 of the men to their positions and told them to watch our backs (we were holding a choke point, but the area was so overrun that it was possible the enemy had surrounded us already. The other man I ordered into position to work with me. We started lighting them up, I got a few good kills it, 1 or 2 headshots. It was WW2 clothing and weapons, everyone was using rifle-like guns that I think could fire in short (2-3 shot) bursts as well. The fight didn’t last long, though. I heard my partner sputtering, looked to the right and saw he had been hit multiple times in the chest. I turned back and there were 3 enemies charging towards me. Bop. Bop Bop Bop. Right in my forehead. Man that was a weird feeling.

Looking back on the battle, 2 things stand out: 1) I shouldn’t have ordered the other two men to watch our backs, I should have only ordered 1. My thinking was that we could work in pairs, but in retrospect, it was much more important to focus all our firepower on where we knew the enemy was. Focus should have been on taking out as many of them as possible, not trying to survive. 2) After I got shot in the forehead, I didn’t really go down. So they shot me two or three more times and I slumped over and the dream ended. I am reminded here of the end of the first matrix when Neo gets shot. It’s like I almost didn’t know what to do when I got shot. Like, wait, what? I’m shot in the head? What does this feel like, what does this mean? I could have turned it around and become immortal and saved the day if I had realized I was dreaming. Woulda been sweet. Too bad I had no Trinity to kiss me.
<O:p</O:p
Dream 3: Don’t remember much here. I was in the bottom floor or basement of some school-affiliated building, and had to get access to some files in the computer lab. There was a Meg-looking girl (hot!) there who wouldn’t let me in...unless, she informed me, if I was willing to have sex with her. Uh…if you insist, I guess…wish it worked like that in real life. So we went into the lab and started getting naughty right there on the floor. The sex was great at first, then turned surprisingly lackluster, as it felt like I had a condom on when I didn’t. Oh well, dream-sex is a fickle thing.

She was worried that her supervisor was going to come in, and sure enough, we hear a rattle at the door and spring apart just in time to throw a jacket on (though it was clear to anyone with 3 brain cells what was going on) the door opened. It wasn’t her supervisor, though, it was to of her girlfriends, both blonde-haired and pretty. I was embarrassed so I went about looking for the files on the nearest computer (the room was square-shaped and had about 15-20 computers along perimeter). This is where it gets hazy. I remember looking at 4 different screens, one by one, and saw myself in them as if there was a webcam pointed at me from the monitor and fed back into that monitor.

That was for the first three. But the fourth screen was different: it was still a webcam, but it was showing as if the webcam was placed behind the computer, so I could see the backs of three or four computers and could barely see my head. This made me mad and confused me, because I knew the webcam was in front of the computer. And, I looked like Zach Braff (or, more correctly, Dr. Dorian). I don’t remember what all this meant but it had something to do with the file I was looking for. I either found it or gave up, and by now the whole computer lab was filled with people, on the floor and whatnot. Might have been some kind of movie playing. I told the girl I had sex with her cell phone was over by the computer I used, then left…?

Dream 4: Don’t remember much here. Just know I was in the living room of my house and realized I was dreaming. Decided to go straight up through my house and start flying. Had to go through three floors. I got slowed down a bit but I think I made it through.
