so... i had an interesting dream, and i'm gonna try to write it out before i forget it. it was weird. i'm almost positive it was RP-inspired because of all the different characters that were there and the situation they were in. and of course i was sort of viewing most of it from Ed and Sora's POV. but anyway... i'm gonna try and recall it here, 'cause it was weird and random but also kinda cool.
there's this society. i'm guessing it's in a poor, dystopian world, which of course means that there's that perfect society in the middle of it all, claiming itself as paradise and the epicenter of current civilization. it's all white and pristine and stuff, and they've got technology and all that. BUT that's not where all the cool characters are. the cool characters are in this, like, slum area that's just a little ways outside of the white fortress. they're separated somehow, with mountains and a huge body of water. the white fortress has an access point from the slums- it's like a ski-lift, but it's super high speed and it takes you through a whole bunch of tunnels, and these tunnels are lined with screens that explain what it's like within the fortress walls to the people riding in on the ski-lift. i assume that thing was heavily guarded, otherwise why the hell would people be staying in the slum place.
but anyway, like i said, the cool people are in the slums. and it totally looks like the marketplace from Agrabah; dusty, super crowded, very loud and lively. and people are very much struggling to survive and make their living and whatnot. i remember being with a family, and there was something about healthy babies being rarely born and this family had an infant. and i was walking with the family and holding the baby at some point and they were all like "hide him, hide him!" so i was trying to, but people pretty much could see the baby and were making comments about new kids coming in. and there was this one person chilling around that totally looked like Envy and it was tripping me out.
and i remember there was a lot of just... chilling, figuring stuff out. and then i guess at some point i became Ed or something (well, somehow he turned up) and came up with this plan to seize the white fortress. i think the plan only came to him because something happened with a soldier or other authority figure and whatever it was, he didn't like it. so i remember there being a fight, and then Ed ran to the jail and did one of those attention-getting whistles as the soldiers/police/whatever were putting people into the cells. and Ed goes "if you don't need to be in here, get the FUCK OUT!!" and so everyone cheers and surges out of the cells, knocking the soldiers and stuff out. and Ed goes leading the charge on the ski-lift thing and everyone hops onto one.
it goes rushing to the white fortress and they see all the screens. and Ed's looking at all the screens and he realizes that they each display the different rules and credos that the "utopian society" follows.then there's a video about all the nice stuff inside the utopia, and how it all works. but then, while Ed and whoever else is in that tunnel, i got a look at what was actually going on at the place while they were describing stuff. so i remember there was something about a landing site for... something that i assume is similar to a helicopter or other flying thing. and there was that automated voice explaining how it worked, and how shit was automated and the plane-things used the distinct pattern of the landing site to find it and land by itself. but then, like. Gaston from Beauty and the Beast showed up, strutting around on the site and messing up the pattern by accident. ... there were a couple others like that, i remember a pool being mentioned even though its hardly used... but yeah, that was that. and then Ed and the others who were led in his charge got inside.
MEANWHILE - and we switched POVs because i woke up for 5 seconds to roll over - back at the slums, there's some kid (i dunno if he was from a show or not, though i think he might've been. i'm sure i knew his name while i was dreaming) who's getting picked on by other local kids. they're like, throwing stuff at him. rocks or eggs or... or whatever. and they're all mocking him telling him to say stupid things and mocking him or whatever the hell. and it's totally crossing a line, and you know it. but the kid's not budging, he just takes the hits, doesn't say anything, but he's definitely pretty mad. and then right when the kids tell him some specific line to say (damn, i can't remember what it was >_<), suddenly, out of NOWHERE, this giant wolf-beast-monster-creature pops out, knocks the other kids to the ground and growls the line at them. the kids run. one of them wets himself first. so the kid that got rescued just looks up to see who helped him... and who should be RIDING the damn monster thing? SORA from KH. and Sora's all smiling and like "close call, huh? c'mon, hop on!" and then they go off to try to get into the white fortress thing, too. there was a third person with them, some little creature kinda like Dobby or Gollum but friendlier and sillier. but yeah, they formed a group and off they went.
ELSEWHERE - there was a family of Asians. i get the distinct impression that they were Korean for whatever reason. they were very touristy, and they were standing at the edge of the body of water that separated the slum area from the utopia. and they were all planning to get across. they had apparently heard that there were jet skis somewhere in the area and that those could be used to get across because they wouldn't set off the mines in the water, or wouldn't be detected by radar, or something like that. but there are only like, two or three people in the group who are being totally serious about this. the rest of them are very touristy, and they're all bubbly and excited. but when they get to the jet-ski place, they arrive just in time to see more rebellion stuffs - a whole bunch of people swoop in and snatch the jet-skis up. and they're all like "AW CRAP, now what?!" so while they're trying to figure that out, one of their touristy relative-people is taking pictures. she takes a picture in the general direction of soldier/guard things, and the flash goes off. and obviously it alerts them. so these soldier dudes come in after like, 10 seconds, and they have these crazy ass ray-guns - i think they disintegrated stuff. so they point them at the poor Korean family and start disintegrating them one by one. i have a very distinct memory of the grandmother being like "where are we going?!" as she vanished. :(
... i know there was another part. it involved being in a bathroom after a shower and looking at towels, and knowing that the towel i had around my shoulders was not made of the same stuff as the towels in the utopia, and that if any piece of my towel fell off and got analyzed, i'd be screwed. ... but i think it was somewhere around then that the dream ended.
...weird, huh? it'd make for an interesting story setting, though!
