As per instruction from Karoline, I have been told to recount a recently experienced STRANGE dream I had. Ready? Go:
So me and my family were in Disneyland. I was really excited to be there and to walk around and see all of the stuff (I don't ride rides because I have HORRIBLE motion sickness, and the same thought was running through my head in my dream). I wanted to go into a souvenir shop, but my family started yelling at me that shopping here was a waste of time. I was utterly heartbroken; I was CRUSHED by that statement. So I walked alongside my family as they rushed to this random specific ride that they just HAD to ride. Apparently they had planned out before the trip to go on this ride without telling me, and I had no idea what was going on in this dream; I was so confused. So while we are walking I keep asking questions about this ride--because the MOTION SICKNESS, right?--and they just keep saying things like, "Oh you'll be fine", "just suck it up", "it will be fun", etc...So we get to the ride, and it is in a building much like a giant laser-tag arena. It is this big, dark box on the outside, and it is dark inside. We get inside, and I am still pestering my family with questions, and we get to the equipment area. My brain has now inferred that this is a virtual-reality game in which we will be wearing helmets that make us think we are somewhere else so that we can experience a different life sort of a thing. So my family starts loading up with protective gear and padding, and helmets and weapons, and I am just sort of standing there like "what?", and finally my dad took pity on me and starting handing me things that I was going to need. I received: a fluffy pink baby-head-sized hat, fluffy mittens, and a little vial of something. While I am girding myself with my equipment, my sister climbs the flight of stairs up to the arena and announces to us that "if anything happens to her, we must skydive with her", and then she disappears. So we all follow up the stairs and get right into the fray. I slowly figured out the game, and here it is: This is a virtual-reality war game in which there are multiple levels. It starts with a group of seemingly normal people milling around until the predeteremined (but secret from the group) killer starts randomly killing people. The point is to kill the killer after he/she has begun killing others, and to be kept from getting killed yourself. It was really hard, and I was just not good at it, since I had no way to kill the killer before he/she killed me. So my family advances and goes to different levels, and I am still stuck on the first level. So the level starts up again, and I am just walking around, and suddenly the killer jumps out of rank and starts coming at me. So I promptly tripped backward over something and dislodged my vial from my belt. I open the vial and start squirting it at the killer, but it does little damage except sting, because the vial ended up being full of acid. (Sidenote: I always say that if given the choice of a superpower, I would want to be poisonous. This acid thing is my dream coming to fruition in a very lame way.) So I am lying on my back, squiting this vial and barely hitting anything, and the killer comes up and stabs my leg and then moves on because I was apparently not worth killing all the way. So I start writhing around on the ground, because this actually HURT (Sidenote: I often make my limbs fall asleep and go numb when I am sleeping, and I think this pain was the result of my leg waking up and doing that thing where it hurts A LOT.), so I was moaning and whimpering and rolling around at the side of the battlefield. Finally, the herd of people thins out a lot, and this one guy stumbles over to me, takes pity on me, and kills me the entire way. I am transported back to reality in Disneyland and the helmet is removed. I then have to wait for my family to emerge from the sadistic game. And then I woke up. THE END.
