A few years ago, I remember having this dream about playing an rts game similar to red faction, or ghost master that I was actually inside as a levitating nonentity.
The game had an extensive tutorial, which was about customizing specialized units to exploit the enemy.
I got up to the point at the end of level 6, where I needed to build more Jeep towers, but I was out of money, and time, and neat squares of machine fusiliers were advancing. At that point, the dream ended.
Years later, very recently, I wake up in that same dream. I was aboard a half shelled out futon starship hovering above the planet with no doors or windows.
I shift from staring out onto the planet to the main corridor. I see cryptosporidium 235 glancing out at the blackened hull. He did not seem to see me, he barges off down the corridor in the other direction.
I wait so as not to get noticed by making a sound. Soon after, spongebob appears wearing a square water helmet. I could not believe it at first, but then he leaves down the same corridor, then sandy appears in a tight space suit.
Apparently, my psyche is mixing spongebob squarepants with destroy all humans. I then see squidward in a sort of metallic costume, Patrick and mr krabs don't wear spacesuits. Squidward flies by flapping his arms and legs, Patrick flies by laying on his back and spinning.
I follow mr krabs out and he was the last one to exit. We dive out of the spaceship one by one, and flames surround us as we enter the atmosphere. But then, a wind blows us, and within the second, we are in the asteroid belt.
We enter one asteroid in the asteroid belt, and the interior looked eeriely like the hyperbolic time chamber. Then spongebob says well then, so, now that we're here, LETS TRAIN! So we practice on all kinds of steely, black bodied aliens for a while.
eventually, I learn how to fly again, and a teleport pad appears somewhere in the center of the field. One by one, we run into the field and disappear.
I wake up back at level 6 in the game, the towers that I put were built, but they weren't putting out any units. Then, right at the bottom of my vision, all the characters are running forward towards a wall of machine gunners.
There was some sort of shield around them, but pretty soon, they crash into this wall, and they are shooting balls of light blue plasma that makes them shed their armor. Many gunners died. When I poked behind me, a horde of bikini bottom fish police were running in with riot shields and clubs. They were all wearing aquariums on their heads.
But then crypto came after all the gunners were dead, and killed all the bikini bottom cops, and then he and pax 13 were fighting spongebob' friends, but they were outnumbered and crypto's spacesuit exploded. Then a special warp speed orange submarine bus chased crypto's starship away from the star before it could attack.
The dream then zooms out of a plasma screen tv, all the colors are subdued. I can here moms voice. When are you going to do your homework. I remember all the things that I had to do in real life, and playing the video game seemed pointless and insipid. I put the controller down, and as I turn towards tow walkway door, the dream ends.
Possible Morals: What is depicted isnt always whats real, if given the capability, the use of it is likely, I will challenge you to think of some more ...
