ITT: Dreams

I had an Indiana Jones dream last night and had this cool whip but I couldn’t crack it properly, it was too long or something. Very annoying

I had a very strange dream just now...I was basically Solid Snake, walking around a building and knocking people out/killing them.  However, my only weapon was an incredibly blunt tai chi sword.  The more people I knocked out/stabbed in the throat, the harder it was to swing the damn thing and it eventually got so whenever I was about to brain some guy over the head, the blade would stop an inch away and the fucker would go about his business unharmed.

Finally I wandered into some room full of Chinese-looking people wearing very faded green, (I tried to draw a cover that looked like this last night, probably where they came from) with two adults and four children or something.  They didn't pay me any attention as I walked into the room (a verrrrrry small part of my brain noticed that this was weird--probably the closest I've ever come to becoming lucid) and I raised my sword again to knock some dude out...but once again, couldn't.  I tried about five times before I ended up getting him through the throat.

However, the second adult noticed I was there just then and got really really pissed off that I'd just killed his comrade.  He started screaming at me in Chinese and waving his hands, and I suddenly learned simple Chinese and tried to explain that I wasn't going to kill him, just hit him on the head and knock him out.  That didn't calm him down.  So he backed me up until we were in a hallway and it turned into one big theatrical fight, with him somehow deflecting all my sword blows and me trying to defend myself.  This was made harder, of course, because I couldn't bring myself to hit the son of a bitch in any vital areas. 

At long last I killed him or unconcioused him or some shit like that.  In any case his body disappeared and I resumed wandering around until I realized that, oh shit, the light in the bathroom was on meaning I'd missed one.  So I stood behind a corner ready to take this guy out too, but I must have zoned out or something because the next thing I knew I was standing there like a moron and he had just realized that they had been infiltrated and was running down the stairs.  Naturally, I followed him.  For some reason I just could not keep up with this short tubby Chinese communist, and he was always at least ten feet ahead of me as I chased him outside and around the building,  until we ended up going around some rectangularly spiral ramp, where he just disappeared after turning a corner.  I was all, WTF? and was looking around until finally Uncle Iroh walked past me and gave me this look like "Who the hell is this idiot?" and then went inside.  I was still looking around for the guy I was chasing when he poked his head out and gave me that look again, at which point I finally woke up.

It was weird.
