I had one nutty dream last night. It was pretty interesting. Started out with Suraj, Bikram and I walking in this desert-like place until we reached this massive lake. There was a sand bridge that lifted up out of the air over the lake that crossed right across the breadth of the lake and on the other side was this huge sand mountain. On the top of the sand mountain was a tower, and somewhere near it there were people. On the left, when facing the sand mountain there was a huge rock mountain, snow capped at the top, that touched the edge of the lake (there was no sand between this solitary mountain and the lake).
While S. and B. decided not to go any further, I took out the camera and just as I was about to shoot a photograph, the snow-capped mountain erupted but it spewed out water from the top. When I focussed the camera to take a shot I realised that it was spouting the water from the side, right into the lake. Was that how the lake formed in the middle of this dry sandy place? Now, while S. and B. sat there I decided to climb towards the tower and see what was in it. The funny thing is that while everything in this dream appears real far, I can usually reach them in seconds.
While I was climbing the sand mountain towards the tower, those locals (I guess) were giving me suspicious looks. I ignored them and went on. When I finally reached the tower, it turned out that it had a staircase that led to the top. The staircase was of the linear type, not spiral, so it would lead onto a small landing from where another staircase would take you to another landing, and so on till the top. At this point I realised that S. was with me (ask not how) , and he was, for some reason, gleefully messing up the hieroglyphics etched into the wall. But the wall came apart like sand. So apparently the whole tower was sand, but it was solid as stone. So then, I went on to the top, and there I saw another local on the last floor.
This last floor was interesting, the staircase enters at the left and the rest of the floor is divided equally between one floor area that is at the height of the staircase's last step and the other is a foot or two higher. ( I cannot recall if there was a railing between the two ). On the higher plane, there was a door to the right. On this area was a local and just as I reached her (she was dressed just like the guys, which is to say they were like the initial wave of Xerxes' army in 300, without the weapons) two more locals suddenly came up the staircase (as if they'd been behind me the whole while. But I hadn't heard them.) and then started talking to the girl in Tamil. I was really surprised so I asked them how come they knew Tamil and were in an Egyptian themed sand tower, and they laughed and berated me for not recognising them (despite their wearing those desert scarves over their faces) and when they took of their scarves I recognised them as A. (a classmate in Math) and L. (a classmate in German). I never did see what was inside that door on the right because then I found myself outside the tower, running happily down the sand mountains ( I like running down steep slopes ).
From the bottom, B. calls to me to slow down or risk falling in the lake. The lake looks maybe 1500m down vertically, yet I can make out B. sitting at the bridge perfectly! Weird. So I slow down, slip down the dunes and we all just leave the place.
Then came the second one, we were in some green verdant valley, with a lovely river in the middle of the hilly ranges. We were at a little stone house placed half way up the valley and we could see some really massive pipes placed with one mouth at the stream. At this stone house, on the portico, was an old sorcerer looking fellow, a heavy-set henchman (short blond hair, thick neck, you know the type) and a woman in a suit who was giving S., B. and me our assignments. B. was to gauge the environmental impact of the project (she said we were going to get oil?) we were going to do and S. and I were to lay the pipes single-handedly (Why me?) . So we were standing there in the river and putting together pieces of plastic pipes that fit together nice and neatly like custom Lego blocks. I looked at the other pipes, they were facing the wrong direction with respect to the direction of the stream but they were sucking in the water and far downstream after all the pipes, the river was nothing but a trickle. How horrible!
...I've forgotten the intervening part...
Now, we were back at the white stone portico and the pipes were completed ( or half-completed? ) and the woman congratulated us and left. Then there was this huge explosion sort of thing and the three of us there had become two monster creatures (think like that Purple Slime in the Swat Kats that Viper makes after dropping some stuff on Morpheus, or whatever his name was, the four eyes dude, except we were 7-8' tall and looked like that but we were hard, not made of slime, one of us red, one green). And the sorceror dude turned into this gigantic monster. In that moment, it struck us that we had to 'fuse' our monster bodies. Presumably there was to be a huge reaction that created a new monster being when we touched each other, but that never happened because when we jumped to reach each other across a chasm that had widened between us we timed the jump wrong and I (green) ended up missing red's hand and both of us fell to the valley floor.
Now we're both at the valley floor and fighting the monster in some way it falls down and dies(?). Don't remember this clearly.
After this we're bounding above EMUs, just missing the electric lines and tracks. Then finally, both green and red are in one huge corridor like place that leads into a room. We go there and find sorcerer man and his henchman. We slam the henchman many times and he smashes into the wall and lies there. Sorcerer is no longer here. Then we're in another identical corridor and room and we smash some generic bad guys there (or were we the bad guys?). Then red runs ahead and beats another couple of guys in another corridor while I keep pounding away at those that get past him.
Just as we're done, a lab doctor type person (who I instantly recognise as my arch-enemy) opens a glass vent on the wall, near the ceiling, and sticks a gun out. Red sees it and smashes at the gun, it falls down and skids to me. Labman moves back into the vent unhurt. There is another vent nearby and I don't know why but Red moves to it, and then starts running as Labman opens it. I'm not scared because until now we've been impervious to bullets (no one shot at the eyes, interesting). Just as Red starts his sprint away, Labman fires, and to my surprise, Red collapses on the floor and the slimy (not really, just looked like that) exodermis (ooh, nice word) disappeared and the guy on the floor had dark hair and had on a yellow jacket (Jin Kazama style jacket). He was lying face down. I went mad, picked up the gun that had fallen down and fired repeatedly at Labman, I have no idea what happened to him after that.
Then I turned my attention to henchman and fired at him again and again, but the bullets just made a little dent in him and stuck there. So he had lots of little dimples, like a golf ball, except uneven and golf balls don't have bullets in their dimples. Then he got up and grinned at me.
...I either forgot this part or woke up at this point...
In any case, what this illustrates is, write down your dream as soon as you wake up. I wrote the first part right after I woke up (at 10 or so) and the second part after I had breakfast and damn, I forgot so much. Still, the whole thing is pretty weird. That water spouting mountain was crazy man.
