I had the strangest dream. I think it first started off as a SGA dream and I think I was Rodney -- John was there, so was Ronan, Teyla was mysteriously absent but she could have just been searching some other part of this dark, wet, and I think underwater facility that we were in. We were searching for ways to fight the Wraith, specifically weapons to combat them with.
And somehow, as we were being trapped in this facility, we somehow ended up find a way out and everything shifted. You know how dreams suddenly shift for no apparent reason but you go with it because it's a dream and it just made sense anyway? Anyway, that's what happened with us.
So we shifted into a band of young Japanese warriors (yes, I know! Way too much TV...*shakes head* This is the first time I've ever been embarrassed by a dream I've had...) who was searching for a lost cache of weapons to retake their birthright after it had been stolen centuries ago? Or something like that? What I did get out of it was that years ago, they/we had been this proud, strong group of warriors that had dominated over the land and we brought peace but then these outsiders came and basically destroyed all that. Now it's centuries later, the old ruling family has pretty much lost interest in the fight (it's over basically, we lost, the other side won) but since the last direct heir has died, the power and succession falls to one of the branch families...a cousin who still wants to bring back the old ways because the conquerors are evil and all that. This is starting to sound like an anime, but I really blame reading ten chapters of The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle for my weird dreams. I definitely spot elements of it within my dream.
Anyway, that cousin is the father of one of my friends and a band of people, myself included decided to go search for this lost treasure of weapons and things to fight the evil people with that our people had hidden away in anticipation but had never gotten around to using. We find them, and we find a group of our people -- the ones who had been lying in wait with the weapons but now have reproduced and started a new life in their new home, this hideaway location...
And they have a ton of stuff -- a whole armada of ships, weapons and ammunition, it's like a dream come true. But they wanted nothing to do with us, past associations be damned. And we couldn't believe it because their ancestors, like ours, should have had their lives centered on beating the enemy and restoring our people to greatness.
Anyway, I woke up before we were able to try and convince them but it was a really odd dream when I thought about it after waking up... And there was this really weird part. They were all speaking Japanese and all of a sudden, I go "Can you speak English?" with my very limited Japanese language skills and just like that everyone shifted to English and I got this incredible sense of failure. -_-;;; And now that I think about it, it doesn't even make sense that they can even speak English...
But it was nice to have a dream... I have to leave in half an hour to volunteer and I want to make something to eat before that -- probably some scrambled eggs and some bacon because I'm running out of time and those don't take that long anyway... I just want to have something in me so I won't collapse walking to the church where soup kitchen is held.
