so i was trying to force myself to fall asleep last night (or rather - this morning, i guess <__<) by thinking up stories. and- my brain has this tendency to throw up some angsty stuffs when it's late and dark and whatnot. soooo yeah, i was imagining some of that stuff. and eventually, at some point, i fell asleep. and then the dreaming started.
now, from what i remember, it started with me playing a video game. and it'd alternate between me watching the screen like a normal game, and me being the character i was controlling and everything being in first person. i honestly don't remember what exactly the game was about, or what i was really doing. i remember the graphics not being very good, though... it was like one of the last games to come out for the original PlayStation or something. that's what it looked like. anyways, i don't remember much of it, but i remember lots of sidequests.
the last part is much clearer to me. i was supposed to be going to the store for something important. i remember making the character walk over there, and then the screen fading to black to load. and then here i was the character, and i was walking to the store. and for some reason, it looked nothing like the game anymore. i was on the corner of Hollywood and Western, heading for the Out of the Closet store there. and i had my phone out and was about to call my sister, 'cause she was gonna guide me and give me instructions.
so i'm walking, head's kinda bowed 'cause i'm dialing, i think one of my iPod headphones was in my ear. i'm not quite paying attention to where i'm going. and then suddenly, somebody sort of steps into my peripheral vision and i figure "oh whatever, person just walking by". but then that person grabs me, forcing me to look up, sort of dragging me toward the wall. and i'm like, shocked, so i drop my phone. and this person's all up in my face, and for some reason i feel like i've seen this person before, like it was one of those people that ask for money or donations or something that i'd said i'd give something to later. so i was like "i don't have anything i don't have anything right now!" but person didn't seem to care - i don't remember what exactly they were saying, but- i think they were looking for something that i was supposed to have? i dunno.
and i dropped my phone, right? so it falls on the floor and i'm like "crap, my phone!" and the person goes "you don't need it!" and freaking shoves me in that direction and steps over my phone - and person has all these long robes with a hood and crap, so i'm convinced that they're trying to steal my phone and i freak out. and i'm all screaming "i need my phone, let me grab my phone, i have to talk to my sister!" and person's got me by the shoulders and is shaking me like "no you don't, where is it?!"
at some point they dragged me to the floor so i'm like, on my knees. and their hands are huge, so the fingers are wrapped all the way around my upper arm and are sort of poking at my armpits, and i'm ticklish so i was really screaming (but not in laughter, it was like - i was just freaking out). then i see my phone on the floor nearby and i try to reach for it, but person won't let me and keeps shaking me and demanding stuff from me. so now i'm pissed and i look right at the person and i start yelling in japanese, like "yamenasai yamenasai ii kagen ni hanase!!" and that totally throws the person off and is like "whut, yamenasai??? o_O" so i just keep yelling at 'em, and then i finally decide to try and kick 'em in the face and-
i wake up. ._____. i could still feel the grip on my shoulders and the weird tickly feeling under my arms. and it was still only freaking 2 am and i felt like there's a witch after me somewhere in Hollywood. i'm surprised that dream didn't continue when i finally got to sleep again.
sometimes i'm really glad i don't dream this vividly. >_<
