Had a weird dream that I want to share, just because. It's got 3 parts too, so be careful for when they suddenly switch :P

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

I was visiting some kid that was supposedly my friend... I say 'supposedly' because I didn't recognize him at all. He lived in a New York apartment with his little brother, and when I visited, he also had some other friends over. I sorta come into his room just in time to see him pulling a prank on his 3DS.

I can only assume he's playing the new Star Fox game that's not even out yet, which makes use of the camera to record and show off your facial expressions during gameplay. I guess at the end of each match, while the score is being tallied, he decided to show off something else besides his face, as a form of gloating.

In this case, he had two of his girlfriends flash the camera, wiggling their breasts with their hands. And for some reason, I got a mental image of the reactions of the other players. One laughed and didn't mind losing, another pushed off their power, and a third could only stare wide-eyed while suddenly realizing puberty.

So then I started to hang out with my 'friend's' little brother who lived with him, and wouldn't you know it, some burglars go and break into the apartment.

.....in hindsight, this is the boring part of my dream. Lots of hiding in the dark because the power went out, and playing hide-and-seek. I'll go ahead and skip this and just tell you that the badguy gets knocked out during a fight in the dark.

And theeeeen, ROADTRIP! The following morning, I'm invited along with a group of people who have found a place where some ritual can be performed to gain a wish. But not just -one- wish for the group. That's one wish -each-. What's to lose?

...they were the Muppets...

...no, seriously. Kermit was leading the way in Fozzie's car, and I was stuck carpooling with Burt and Ernie. Lots of songs were sung, and playing 'I-Spy', and all that stuff. The scenery was very nice, though, leaving the city and going through light forest trails at just the start of fall, to where it was still 80% green.

Eventually, we come into an abandoned theme part that's been mostly grown over by the forest. Everything's in disrepair, covered with vines, bunch of mud holes, and we have to advance on foot. It's hilarious seeing a gang of Muppets walking out in front of you.

We finally come across to the location that would allow us to be granted wishes. In the middle of the theme park, there was a Statue of Liberty buried up to her neck, a la Planet of the Apes. Except instead of being 150ft tall, it was more like... 50ft tall.

Suddenly, it wasn't only Muppets, as there were some humans there. A family of people who I guess were friends, but none of them were familiar again. They all stood in a circle around the statue of liberty, but we were supposed to be at its base, so one of the Muppets ran off to find some digging tools. He wasn't gone long, having found some controls nearby that worked some drainage system. Apparently the statue was actually in a large pool, which had the water turn to mud and then years of leaves above that turned it into solid ground... so when he activated the drainage, the ground around the buried statue caved in, and the mud was sucked away in 3 seconds. REALLY freaky looking, seeing that much ground just -sucked away-.

People started to fall in the sudden empty pool, including one woman who slid into the very center-bottom of the pool that didn't drain. This other girl slid down to where the woman went under the mud and reached in to pull the woman out, but then stopped and walked away to clean her arm off. Yeah... so I slid down the side and reached as deep as I could to try to grab the woman, somehow knowing that she wasn't able to swim in the mud, and pulled her out to find that she was the mother in Home Alone. I just saved a celebrity! =P

Everybody then got cleaned up and continued the ritual, which... was remarkably un-flashy. The humans got to wish first and made things to make their family better, lots of sappy stuff... and then each and every single Muppet made a wish that pertained to their breakfast. Having another 'perfect bowl of cereal', having a box of cereal that lasted twice as long so they could share without worrying about running out, having... a bottle of syrup named after them... which happened by having their picture suddenly tapped on the bottle where the original mascot was... It was freaking horrible.

I think -that- specific thing of Grover being so excited to have a crayon-colored picture of him with cheap tape appear over his bottle of pancake syrup was what woke me up with severe 'WTF' syndrome.

I'm going to go eat breakfast now...
