I usually don't remember (or think I have dreams.) I went from 4th grade in elementary school all the way till after I graduated college that I didn't remember a single dream. Alas, last night I took my parents to see Wall-E and that must have been enough because I had two vivid dreams:
1.) I was exploring a house on a rolling desert butte. It appeared to be a modest stucco ranch that was perched right on the edge of the cliff. Standing next to the house overlooking the cliff there was nothing but desert wilderness with similar mesas jetting skyward for as far as the eye could see. The butte the house was on was a bit higher and had sparse pinyon pines and scraggly gaunt junipers covering it and no driveway or road leading to it.
About 50 yards or so behind the house there was a 25 ft tall sandstone boulder that looked as it were the lip of a cliff that came falling from the sky only to stick into the butte like an arrow shot from the heavens. I walked down to this particular boulder and was about to climb it when I noticed the unmistakable circular holes of a speaker cover and the tell tale painted screws fasting it in. Upon closer inspection, I found three more speaker covers.
Now my interest thoroughly peaked I tried to imagine why the purpose this fake rock served? I further explored the surrounding area, which sank into a bowl surrounded by a ten to fifteen foot ledge. In a shadowy nook of the ledge I found three doors painted camouflage the same color as the rock and a projector. The fake boulder was a screen for an outdoor movie theater!
I opened door number one, revealing what looked like a child's room with a rug of the moon and sun and a small set of wooden bunk beds painted red with star-wars sheets. The second door revealed a fully functional bathroom that looked completely normal except that the room itself was carved out of stone. The third door concealed a carved stone stairway. Although one flight, i could hardly see the bottom and there were no lights. Then I woke up. Hopefully, I'll have more updates tomorrow on this one.
2. This dream was right after my alarm went off and I fell back asleep. I was eating dinner at my parent's house with just my mom when we heard a crash of breaking glass. Storming out of the hallway were what looked like two masked men wearing black military style body armor.
We ran quickly to the basement locking the flimsy wooden basement door behind us and hid in the coal room. As soon as we were in you could hear the shrieks of wood cracking as they kicked through the basement door. Obviously, they were after us and not robbing the house. I found a rubber mallet that was on a metal pole.
The end of the pole was a screw that attached the mallet to the handle. I unscrewed the mallet leaving me with a short primitive spear. I left the coal room and told my mom to hide in the crawl space off the coal room, I hid in a rack of old cloths hanging from the pipes near the entrance of the room my mom was in. They didn't turn on the lights and it was mostly dark. One of the mem yelled, "We're here to get even for what you did!"
One of them came across the corner and I could see him. I held perfectly still as he passed. He was about to open the coal room door when I jumped from behind the hanging clothes and jammed my spear upward behind his armpit. He fell to the ground and as I was running away I saw the other guy turn with a gun. Then I woke up.
