jwghI had a dream last night where me and a few people I know (but I'm not sure if they were people from real life or not) got transferred to a different world where we had to find our way around. There was a place where people could go for shelter and food; it had sort of gambling machines on the walls that were sort of like slot machines; after a few days they activated and you could pull a lever and money might come out.
You might get a bunch (or a little) of coins all at once, or it might instead shell out a few coins at a time every few minutes all day -- the idea was that if you got a slow machine and stuck with it for a while you would get more money than if you hopped from machine to machine and concentrated on the quick fix, so this was some sort of attempt to reward patience.
What happened instead was that some people (not people I knew from Earth) jumped from machine to machine, then pushed aside the people who were waiting at their slot machines and took their money, then started fighting among themselves over the money they had acquired.
Since there didn't seem to be anything to buy around there it all seemed kind of pointless, so we left them to it.
We swam across a cove to a castle where I was mistaken for someone important who, I think, was supposed to be dead, and so we were taken in and instantly got enmeshed in castle politics. I don't remember a lot of details about this, but at some point there was a murder, and everyone started suspecting everyone else. At some point I did something that resulted in everyone distrusting me -- they didn't think I was the killer (although maybe they weren't sure either way) but they were kind of disgusted with me and didn't want to be around me any more. (I don't remember what I did, but I think it was something innocent, or maybe slightly jerky but you know not that bad, which events conspired to build into apparent assholery of stupendous dimensions.) So the rest of the dream was me going around this weird, unfamiliar castle trying to talk to my friends and having them all snub me. Then I woke up.

Date: 2006-02-10 12:42 am (UTC)Turns out they were escorting this huge TV team which was heading for this big mansion. We ended up going with the flow and ended up at the mansion too, where everybody was busy and ignored us. The only thing that was obvious was that we needed to keep going and get out of this damned mansion, but there was no obvious way to do that. The friend ended up climbing out a window, and I doubled back and walked around the building to meet up with him.
We kept looking for a way forward beyond the mansion, but all we found was some sort of big cave dug out of a cliff. We got past some sort of door here, and found two people from the TV show. One of them was some sort of scientist priest who wouldn't stop making deeply meaningful observations. At one point, he read a sermon out of an issue of Scientific American.
Then The Russian called and woke me up. THE ENB.
