???

I've forgotten some of this because I'm writing this down late, but I could hardly remember it all when I first woke up.

There was a lot of driving down the highway, sometimes on the wrong side of the street. I got to a convention hall, where I met up with my old high school choir, then my old Boy Scout troop and signed up with the Army from the 1920s. There were doughnuts and coffee involved somehow, and I was flirting with everyone.

A Link to the Office

Dreamt I was Link, from The Legend of Zelda series. I was running around Hyrule fighting monsters and exploring dungeons. I was accompanied by Andy from The Office, who held some of my gear/maps, and occasionally did some puzzle solving of monster fighting. Along the way I met some people that I eventually convinced to work for me, and ran around doing some of the smaller jobs and errands while I focused on the larger dungeons and bad guys. I haven't played Zelda in a little while, but I think reading Sun Tzu's The Art of War, right before bed might have influenced the dream a bit, at least from a battle perspective. Throughout the dream, I was using strategy and planning, instead of blind rage and attacking, which is usually how I play Zelda games.

Macbeth Continued

Went back to bed, and had another dream.

This one involved Macbeth again, but this time I think I was actually Macbeth. Most of it involved playing Street Fighter (some newer version. IV I think) for my life. I was Chun-Li, and the other guy (Macduff I'm guessing) was Zangief. We played very well and went down to the final seconds of the final round. I eventually lost, and my head was chopped off. Instead of blood and guts and whatnot, my head was revealed to be a giant head-shaped Cadbury Egg, which Lady Macbeth (played by my girlfriend), proceeded to carry around in her arms along what looked like The Great Wall of China

Old Enemies

Don't remember much about this one, but I do remember that it involved some people that were particularly asshole-y to me during high school. From what I remember, it involved me telling those people that I don't give a shit about them, and that there was nothing they could do to have any kind of impact on me, then walking away. It felt good.

Also, I can't be sure, but I have this weird feeling that it involved zombies somehow...but I'm not certain...

Too close to reality

Had one of those dreams where I went through my morning routine, as if I was actually awake. Everything was there, in excruciating detail: the way I wake up, toss around a bit, then fall back asleep. It was so realistic, that when I actually did wake up, I was really confused and thought that I was maybe dreaming again.

Lady Macbeth?

A weird start to the blog:

Started out with some random ones I can't quite remember. From what I can recall, it seemed to be some movie or video game based ones. I think I remember Resident Evil, something like Ferris Bueller's Day Off, and the diving competition sequence from Back To School, though I didn't get to do the Triple Lindy. There was also a sequence where I ran through a blue lit locker room where there were no real toilets, only drains, and shower heads were coming out of the lockers. Also, everything was covered in soap scum.

The main one was weird. I watched it from a third-person perspective, as if I was watching a play. My "character" reminded me of Lady Macbeth. Can't really explain why other than she/I was scheming something. Ha ha. Anyway, it ended with my twin and her son catching me, then putting me in an interesting guillotine contraption. They drew four cards, and it looked like depending on what the cards were, that determined at what angle they sliced my head off. I drew two aces, a square and a cone. I woke up before the blade dropped. Didn't wake up completely scared, but instead, a bit confused.

If anyone else is reading this, welcome.
