Who turned on the light?
This entry was originally posted on Livejournal on April 19th. I was inspired to post it here after reading a dream entry by Destiny. I also edited a bit of text here and there. I wasn’t sure if I should use past tense or present tense, so there might be a mixture of both XD. Usually I write dreams in present tense, but >_> dunno…
——————–
I took a 2 hr nap and had the most interesting dream! Long time no write - dream wise - so yeah here goes.
My family were I are staying at a massive hotel. The strange thing is we stayed in separate rooms. The room I stayed in had four beds. They were all queen sized beds at that. The room was pretty spacious with a balcony to the left. Another weird part is there were mannequins laying on the beds. on the far right there was one mannequin. four on the next, and I think two on the third bed. The fourth bed, closest to the balcony was the only one left open.
So I slept there but in the middle of the night, I woke to the change in brightness of the room. I remembered turning off the light, but the light was obviously on now so I walk all the way across the room to turn off the light but it wouldn’t turn off. Sure enough the switch was at off before I switched it. This creeped me out - to think that the mannequins didn’t. So I leave the room to find my mom and dad to see if they noticed anything strange about the place.
Apparently they stayed in separate rooms from each other. The corridors were like a labyrinth sprinkled with hundreds of rooms throughout its meandering pathways. When I finally found my mom, she was awake with the light dimmed, sitting in bed. She told me to go find Dad in the computer room. So I find him and decide to work on a school project. This school project had a lot to do with Chinese history and such. As I was saving my document, I realized I forgot to pay attention to which folder I was saving it under. I was unable to find it after that. Also, apparently my old mp3 player was like a USB drive that stored documents and images. I was scrolling through that to find documents from the computer….which makes no sense now since it wasn’t hooked up to the computer, but perfect sense then. My dad volunteered fervently to help write my paper and guessed at the topic I may be writing on yet none of what he said came through to me as my mind was still on the paper I wrote.
I decide it was getting late, that the light must have turned off by now so I head back to my room. On the way I stop by Mom’s room and find she’s still awake with some strange blue light on in her room.
As I pause in front of my door, I sense this ominous aura as the light was still on and the mannequins start looking strangely knowledgeable on the situation and the hotel’s happenings in general. I try to casually walk back to my bed and as I do so, I realize the sky is getting brighter outside. The curtains are translucent so the light from outside is glowing through them and the silhouette of the window / door frame can be seen clearly. I ponder on whether or not to sleep with the curtains closed or opened and decide on just leaving it closed. Neither way mattered really.
As I lay in bed with the light on, a mannequins walks over to me and says not to worry, that I shouldn’t feel lonely in a room full of companions. (Lonely?!) She was pretty friendly and we introduced each other. Then she told me of her previous life in Nevada I think. I can’t remember where she or any of the other mannequins were from but I was fascinated by the fact that they each had their own life outside of the hotel. I told them about dorm life at college. We shook hands, though some of them were really weird about it and had their hands in weird positions while shaking mine.
Later, I’m on campus again and I think I’m in a geek club of some sort founded by a freshman. Yeah a freshman. But she was actually a sophomore because of the amount of credits she had and she had pretty good leadership skills. She looked strangely like Mrs. S my fifth grade social studies teacher, which meant she looked very old. We were gathered there to plan who was going to write what for the college newspaper. I volunteered first to write a paper on a play I couldn’t even remember but I took notes on it while I was attending the play. I told the “freshman” that it was by Macbeth. She said “who cares and why would it matter who it was by?” Yeah apparently Macbeth was a well-known playwright and …. didn’t I mean Shakespeare?! Clearly Macbeth is the creation of Shakespeare…but whatever.
Now I’m in front of the Union or so I think and an evil villain whom I’ve met before is hosting a wedding ceremony there. He was evil in tricking people with the amount of money he was willing to pay for the food and other expenses. Instead of paying full price, he was paying one fourth that. I know, wicked right? I knew of his sham and warned the suppliers but they wouldn’t listen to me. I think I saw Envy and other sins from FMA there and they were part of the “evil family”. I think the villain behind everything was Wrath (from the manga) aka Pride (from the anime). I knew of their other schemes but now I’ve forgotten them since I was interrupted twice by my mother who yelled at me to go downstairs to drink milk shake and then again because my brother wanted me for something before I could write anything.

Oh my goodness… I must say, your dream was a lot more weirder than mine!! If I ever dreamed of mannequins, I would wake up right away, and go take a shower. I watched this movie called “A Mom For Christmas” when I was little and it had mannequins coming alive, so it’s not a favorite show of mine.
BTW… I just totally found your “splash” page by accident… I Think you should separate that button, make it more distinct so people can find your music! I am loving them!
I have had intense dreams before, but I must say, this one pwns my dream!
Wow, quite an interesting dream. it’s amazing that you remembered so much. i was struck by the amount of color and lighting you saw in your dream. i can usually only tell that it is day or night. perhaps it comes with being an artist?
i haven’t had intense dreams like that in a really long time. i’m surprised you remembered so much of it… usually half way through the day i totally forget everything.
Oooh, I love your new layout!!
Dreams are so much fun. Especially when they linger and trouble you afterwards.
Okkkayyy~! Your dream is so weird. Lol but fun as the same time.
I love when I have a dream that sticks with me after I’ve woken up. Hell, I have dreams (very few) that I can remember from years ago. It’s just bits and pieces, but it seems to be a rare occurrence for people.
Wow, you sure do have interesting dreams! Everytime I have a dream like that, my friend goes crazy trying to analyze it. lol
