Dude. WTF?
Nov. 29th, 2003 09:30 amOkay, really bizarre dream. I have to write it down before I forget what happened. I've already forgotten how it began. Basically, it involved me, Elijah Wood, a random old lady, and
queenofalostart fleeing from 28 Days Later style zombies. We were running through this really beautiful city with all these buildings that seemed a cross between Victorian era and Grecian era architecture. We were eating out of this garbage bin we kept dragging around with us -- though I can't actually remember eating anything specific from it in the dream. It was one of those really large greenish/greyish bins with wheels that I used to have at my house when I lived in California. It actually didn't smell unappetizing, but I remember there being something really disgusting involving a giant baby's head and too many arms sitting at the top of the trash.
So, on with the dream. I'm trying to remember the first place I was running in. I think it was like a hotel, only nicer than any I've been in. I was going everywhere trying to escape and watch out for my friends. The old woman had long white hair (a bit past shoulder length) and was wearing this plain dark brown dress. Elijah wood looked a bit dirty, like he does in this one LoTR icon I've yet to use. I'll post it below so you can see.
queenofalostart, I can't remember any of your facial features in this dream, but judging from skin and hair I'd say you bore a startling resemblance to Cate Blanchett in Bandits. And you were wearing a victorian style dress. I think it was turquoise.
So we got out of the hotel at one point. I think we parted ways with the old woman. She went off for some reason -- to find her husband perhaps? I remember something about us then going to this house in the country surrounded by a fruit orchard and a forboding forest. I also remember it being nightfall. However, I have this suspicious feeling I'm mixing up one dream with another, and that the house I've described has nothing to do with the zombie dream.
The next definite part of the dream that I remember was finding
queenofalostart's home. It was daytime at this point -- late morning, I think. I can't recall how exactly we got inside Queen's home -- we were just there, suddenly. It was, again, a mixture of Victorian and Grecian architecture. It was huge, I tell you. Then again -- of course it was, seeking as it was the Queen's house. So Queen immediately sat down and maids started attending to her. Then her husband walked in, played by that guy who plays Gandalf, only much younger, and with moderate length medium brown hair. He asked what I was doing in his home, and I explained that I knew his wife through livejournal.
She was in another room at this time. Her husband and I went over to see her. I noticed something was off about her attendants. Anyway, Queen thanked the maid who was brushing her hair and did this whole European style cheek kiss thing. That's when I figured out what was wrong with the maid. She was a zombie. She turned the cheek kiss into this whole gross making out thing. Remember that scene in The Mummy (the one with Brendan Frasier) where Imhotep kisses Evelyn and his face goes all gross? It was like that, only a different kind of gross. The maid's mouth looked zombie-style gross as opposed to mummy-style gross. Then, before Queen had time to struggle, her mouth did the same grossness thing. She was one of them.
Of course, I was like "What the fuck?!" The husband, had apparently found a way to tame the zombies to the point that he could make them do whatever he wanted. He was so glad that his experiments had been successful, and now he was even more happy that his wife could now be under his control, zombie fashion. I yelled something about how many people his "experiments" had killed and how awful he was, and then ran. Although I don't remember entering the mansion, I do remember leaving it. There were these large concrete steps sort of circling one corner of the mansion/castle/whatever. I ran down them at breakneck speed, avoided one of those "tamed" zombies in the streets, kept running, and woke up.
Oh yes -- and I almost forgot. In my dream, Elijah Wood looked like this:

Funny thing? I wasn't really all that scared by it. You think I'd have been tired out from it, considering I was basically running the entire dream. It was just...freaky/cool.
