Dream Narrative 11: Strange Gathering
14 years ago
General
This is a dream I had about a week ago, so I'll do my best to remember the details.
So in this dream, there was going to be some kind of party at my house, but I'll get to that later because I didn't know to begin with. The first thing I remember was being in my living room, where my sister and some other younger girl were playing a video game.They were doing this to kill time until the party, which again I didn't know about yet.
My sister wanted to show me how the game, probably she figured I would like it. It was a horror type game, lots of monsters and such, and had a title I don't remember. It was something generic and horror-y. I don't even know what system this was on really, but she went on to start a new game by selecting from a long list of different levels you could choose from that were rated by their difficulty. She chose one that seemed to have a fairly high challenge rating, so i assumed she'd been playing it for a while and knew what she was doing. The main character was a scarecrow, and the level she was on looked kind of like an old west ghost town type of place at night time. I think there was some kind of wrist indicator type thing that showed a picture of a certain enemy you were supposed to go kill, while avoiding being killed by random other monsters. At some point this game started to kind of mess with my dream because I remember this wrist indicator thing actually suddenly being a real object rather than just an on screen thing, and my sister kept asking me to look at it and tell her what was on it because she couldn't do that and watch the screen at the same time. In any case she practically immediately started dying. I think she was being slowly killed by a very small enemy, basically and insect type of thing. You couldn't actually see it but it was the sort of thing that kept sapping her health until you did something about it, and she seemed to have no idea what to do. I have no idea what the objective of the game was supposed to be because she pretty much died before she really got anywhere.
At this point we pretty much abandoned the game, since my sister sucked at it and I hadn't seen enough to be interested. We went out to my backyard, only it wasn't my real yard. In real life, we've mostly got a small porch and a whole lot of grass. In the dream however all of this had been converted into a large patio/dining tent area for the party I guess. It seemed like an extensive amount of work, because the patio area was kind of cobblestoned or something, and there was a lot of landscaping and stuff. The party was for some neighbor's little kid who was having a birthday apparently. I don't know why it was at my house.
Pretty soon the party got started, and as you could have guessed from all the elaborate setup done in my yard, it was kind of expensive. Although, this being a dream, it was rather silly. We all sat for a meal at little tables with fancy place settings, white tablecloths, centerpieces, and everthing. We were waited on by people so we didn't have to get up, it was a catered event. The food we were served consisted, kind of humorously, of chicken nuggets, mashed potatoes, and corn. Some catering company. . . Anyway after we had eaten, we were all ushered out of the area by the staff as they wanted to set up for some game/activity that wasn't explained right then.
When we came back outside, some of the areas looked sort of like what I would expect in a "foam party" although I've never been to one. I mostly ignored those spots. All of the tables we had sat at were still out, but underneath them in certain spots these tall cylindrical containers had been placed, always in sets of two. One of the two was filled with jello, and the other with "treasure" or prizes or whatever. From what I gathered, the idea was to basically have a war between two sides (possibly two different colors of jello or something) where you would throw the jello at each other and fight over the prizes or something. My first thought basically was "screw that" and I just went for the free stuff x3 In the prize containers were what looked kind of like leather purses, which when i opened them contained gift cards and such. They weren't for anyplace particular that I can remember, because as I was raiding these purses and grabbing the "treasure" I pretty much woke up.
The End
Let me know what you think, glad to hear opinions as usual.
