Mob Boss Vlog / Evil Persian Cinema City

Two tidbits without context from last night.

First, I was watching a vlog through Youtube for a mob boss. I don't know what group the mob represented, but by how I remember the boss it was probably Italian or some nationality that shares stereotypical 'Italian' characteristics. The format of the vlog was similar to a cable news show, and the boss host was calling for mass destruction of his enemies. What made this funny was that the boss had a very charming, funny attitude the whole time - think game show hosts like Bob Barker or Chuck Woolrey. There were also many dynamic titles and menus flying across the screen - the most memorable one being in bright pink bubble letters saying "GET THEM!".

The second was also out of context and involved me being a HUGE giant (like head in the clouds huge). The only bit of this I remember clearly was standing over an area that had three clear landscape divisions. The first was a dark green, sparsely wooded, windy plain. It had a few small and scattered houses in it and I think I would like to live there. Directly over where I was standing was a place where people harvest natural resources. It was brown, fairly barren, and looked 'stripped'. I remember sulfur mines(?), a dirty river, and some industrial equipment. No one was working presently, and I could tell the area was dangerous and slightly toxic.

This is where I think the second dream gets cool: I decided I didn't want to stand over the dangerous mines anymore, so I set off for the third section of the landscape. This was a snowless mountainous area, with a circular ridge in the middle that was as tall as I was. The ridge was flat on top so I could see over it. I could hear people talking from the circle-ridge's interior so I peaked over. I saw an ancient metropolis - which for some reason I identified as 'Persian' in my mind. I thought about going in but saw that the city was also populated by STONE GOLEMS that walked around with the humans. I knew that this was a secret place and they would not take kindly to me knowing they lived equally with stone golems. I looked to my left and realized the conversation I was hearing was actually coming from a massive movie theater screen that sat on top of the ridge so all of the cities inhabitants could see it. The city was currently watching a Disney cartoon, and I think my mind lazily defaulted to Aladdin.

Two and a Half Men Cause A Family Reunion

I was in a leadership role for a television show - maybe a producer or director. I was inside a large house with the rest of the cast and crew and our premier was going to be competing with a special announcement from Two and a Half Men. I was confident that we would beat them in the ratings.

The doorbell rang. When I opened the door a younger version of my now 10 years passed grandmother was there. I don't think it was absolutely true to what she looked like, but more like an older version of my mother. She was very pretty, none-the-less, and had an extremely bright red sweatshirt on. We hugged, and I told her I was surprised to see her because she was dead. It was dark outside, with a dark purple hue to things, and the sky was glowing orange like I was close to street lamps or a fire. She told me that because I was 'going back a few days in time' she could see me for a little while and wanted to know if I was alright. I told her about the premier and that I was excited. She was happy for me, and continued to meet my girlfriend and tell her I was nice.

I don't know how I feel about any of this.

OLD: Diving from Robots in Scotland

This is from a dream journal I kept in high school. It is one of my favorites and though it was not a nightmare, it really messed up my day:

I was traveling over bright green, rolling hills with a close childhood friend Jake. The grass was very long and rolling in the wind. We reached the edge of a ridge with a high cliff at the end. At the bottom of the cliff were more rolling hills. Off to the side of us was a cliff that was slightly lower. On that cliff were a few other people, though the only notable person was someone I went to middle school with named Brad N. They were running up to the edge of the cliff, looking around to see if they were spotted, and then swan diving off the cliff.

I was confused. Jake explained that 'he must be close'. I did not know whom 'He' was. The floor behind us had a hidden platform elevator in it and He rose up behind us. I did not know who He was still, but Jake and I both sensed him and dove off the cliff. I remember hitting the ground face first. I woke up.

The Black Lake

Sometimes when I am having a difficult time sleeping I close my eyes and imaging I am on a small boat, floating on a lake. It is usually a bright gray sky and the lake is blue or gray. It is nice and I can feel my body rocking back and forth.

Last night I was floating in my boat, and things were different than normal. I was on the edge of the lake, and there was a small cabin behind me with an orange dock light. Two other people were waiting for my row boat. The water was black and still. The first laid down in the boat and floated out over the lake. The water never moved. They floated away from the light and after a short time the boat came back empty.

I then got into the boat, knowing I normally sleep in the boat. I sat in the back of the row boat and floated out onto the lake. The black water still didn't move. I could see the light getting smaller and the silhouette of the last person standing on the edge of the lake waiting for my sleeping boat. I looked forward and a silent black wave was waiting to overcome me. The person on the shore could not see me. The dream ended before I touched the water.
