Had a lot of dreams. One I just have images from. I was trying on my green sari, and wearing earrings, and jewelry, but then trading it in for other earrings and just being beautiful, however not where anyone could see. When I had to go with others, I changed. And then the alarms rang.
Which is where I actually was able to remember the plot from. Of course the sari had a plot, but I don't remember it until it ties into the following dream.
Sometimes I have dreams in which an army is invading. They basically go through the city and enter some homes, while ignoring others. I don't know if it's a human army, a mythical army, a supernatural army, a monster army, zombies? etc. I don't know.
Last time it happened, we hid in our home, and while some of the creatures tried to enter our home, they didn't. They just shook the windows and the door and the home, terrifying us inside, but then leaving on to homes that looked like someone actually lived in. We were lucky, because we hadn't completely closed some of the curtains that time, so I was so afraid someone would look in and see us hiding.
This time, we got the warning that they were coming. I went around and made sure all of the blinds were truly closed. We were at my grandfather's house. Of course he was not there, and it had been remodeled after his death. When I went around the house making sure all was closed up, the army arrived. My family was able to hide down in the basement, but I got stuck in the upstairs bathroom, trying to hide in the bathtub. Unlikely to work, if they came in the home.
Again, the windows shook and the doors were banged on, it was terrifying. But this time, they came into our home. We were one of the unlucky ones.
They found me of course, and took me down to the kitchen. The soldier in our home was human. They searched the home, but ignored the basement. They found my 1000 recipe cookbook, which he was really angry about. It was forbidden for some reason. He also found my cell phone. My new cell phone broke in two from dropping it too many times, so I am using my older one again until our two year free upgrade. So he was really mad that we had cell phones. But when he found out it was old and didn't have GPS in it, he grudgingly let it go. He looked like he would ask me about the other cell phones anyone else in my family had, but we met each other's eyes and he knew I would never answer.
He eventually started to like me, as much as one likes an enemy. He asked me about the backyard, where everything was growing crazy and wild. He asked why the grass was greener in one area, and I pointed out the swing had been over that area, so it had shaded it some. The swing was now moved back about three feet. We noted the three foot tall lawn grass, how it got when not mowed. I went and picked fruit off of the trees. There was _______ fruit, and we each had one. I even made him laugh some times. I was scared of him, but by the end it was not so much terror and fear as extremely cautious respect. I felt almost (almost) comfortable around him.
At one point something didn't work, so the repairman came in. He fixed it, and left back to the basement, which the soldier, a young man just a bit older than me with light brown or blond hair, didn't bother to worry about anymore. This repairman was actually my brother, so we gave each other a hopeful look as he passed and went down to the basement. He was really hairy.... anyway.
At the end of the dream, the soldiers superiors came in. He decided that he was going to make me go with them. It wasn't exactly as a prisoner. There was no threat to myself in it; no execution, no rape, nothing like that. It was almost like he wanted me to be an advisor or he was just curious about me, as his enemy, and wanted to know more about us, and because we had developed a working relationship, albeit one which I was still constantly walking on egg shells, well, he was going to have me go with him. Which I did. I'm quite curious about what happened after that. However, I am awake now, and what I can imagine awake is not going to be as good as what could have happened asleep, so I won't bother. Anyway.
