a dream of werewolves
11 years ago
Occasionally my dreams are interesting.
Last night I had a dream I was moving to Washington DC. I blame playing the game Payday 2 too much for that one, since it's set in DC. But I was moving in to an apartment building in a city. As the dream progressed the landlady of the building kept being involved.
The dream was a little vague and unfocused, so there wasn't exactly a clear narrative. But at some point it became clear that the landlady was a werewolf. As was her daughter, who had an interest in me. Somehow a family of werewolves took an interest in kind of adopting me.
At some point I think I got turned into a werewolf and spent a lot of time hanging out with the daughter, and also being taught something or another by an older guy who was either the landlady's husband or perhaps father. He kind of took on a guru role in the dream, showing me how to be a werewolf. Teaching me the dos and don'ts.
Sadly I can't say there was a lot more detail. There were a number of themes being expressed in this dream, it wasn't just a werewolf fantasy. The rest was just general feelings of insecurity, worry over the future, and that kind of thing. But I think for a while at least I got to kind of roam a city by night as a werewolf. I didn't kill anybody or anything, it was more the narrative of experimenting with the new powers and considering whether I wanted to go back to the people who were teaching me or rebel and go out on my own.
Still, kind of a fun dream. With some REALLY weird, specific, pointless details. Like one where I was using some kind of online admission card maker for the Smithsonian Museums. As you typed in your name and other details it filled in a QR code on the card it was making. The thing is, the Smithsonian museums don't charge admission. I knew that. But my dream didn't. And I just find that interesting.

Good luck countering that. You won't know what I am. Is it a squirrel, or is it Nomad sneaking into the compound?
P.S. Why does the idea of you going full-on shapeshifter suddenly remind me of the wizard's duel scene of the Disney animated feature film, The Sword and the Stone?
Actually I do seem to recall Merlin becomes a bacteria and makes her sick, which.. brings up questions. If I shapeshift into a bacteria and infect someone, does that mean I've reproduced and made hundreds of copies of myself? Are they all shapeshifting wizards?
Inquiring minds want to know.
