vivid dreams rock
I had this dream in different perspectives, sort of like a movie.
It started out with a little Boy. He had dark hair and blue eyes. He lived in a little farmhouse with his mother, father, and sister, probably in the late 1800s. One day this group of people (in the dream they were called Grifters but they were much more terrifying than just swindlers) showed up to the house. They sort of reminded me of a band of gypsies, but they were very evil. The Boy's parents knew this and refused to give the Grifters food and shelter. So the Grifters tortured and killed them, but the Boy got away.
For the rest of his life, the Grifters hunted him. I remember a specific scenario where he was visiting his aunt and his nieces. He knew the Grifters were coming, so he told the girls to hide and be very still, because the Grifters wouldn't be able to see them. Unfortunately one of the little girls peaked out from under the covers, so the Grifters killed everyone, except the Boy (now a teenager.) The boy somehow knew how to evade them, even though they had some sort of magical powers. I'm not sure if that's even true, I just know they weren't exactly human.
I must have woken up and rolled over because when the dream picked up again, it was in a different perspective (mine.) I was working at PetSmart, where I actually work, except everything was set up differently. I recall doing exactly what I do as a cashier, but I remember feeling as though someone was watching me. I specifically remember having troubles ringing out a group of people because I felt very uncomfortable, and they got nasty with me. I ended up going home and telling my boyfriend (the Boy! now a man of course, played by Elijah Wood) that I'd had a rough day and I'd felt watched and very uncomfortable. He immediately panicked and told me we had to leave. He wasn't sure where we'd go, just that we had to leave.
In the car he told me everything that had happened; he explained who the Grifters were and that, for whatever reason, they'd left him alone for several years. We both guessed that they were going to try to use me to get to him, so he wanted to protect me. Apparently I was pregnant and we both knew it, because he kept touching my stomach and I felt very protective of it throughout the entire dream.
The next part of the dream I remember, we were on a school bus. I have no idea why. We ended up with a bunch of people in the mountains, and the Boy and I found our way to the mouth of a cave. Everything was covered in snow. Apparently this cave belonged to the Grifters, because we found horrible things: mummified people and legs dangling from the ceiling, a box of people's teeth, and a lot of personal belongings. Apparently gold coins were the currency in My Dreamland, because the Grifters had a large safe full of them. The Boy told me that, to confuse the Grifters, we had to integrate some of our money with theirs so we traded some of our coins for theirs. I am still not sure what the point of this was but hey, it was a dream, what can you do.
We left the cave and reunited with the people from the bus, who were apparently involved in a plot to capture the Grifters. I remember a lot of planning over walkie talkies. We all boarded the buses (now there were 2) and set off to start the next part of our plan. Apparently the Boy and I knew it was going to be all-out war, even if no one else did. He embraced me tightly and whispered something in my ear, something to the effect of "if you would just leave me it would save all this trouble, I'm the one they want." And I responded that I couldn't live without him and neither could our baby, and that I didn't WANT to live without him.
The last thing I remember is that we were in battle in this giant field, and the Grifters came up out of the ground.
And then I woke up. I am SERIOUSLY disappointed, I want to know what happens! I wish I were a decent writer, I could probably make an interesting story out of this. You know, if I found a way to explain how the Boy lived for approximately 200 years.
