Well, I just got a letter from the bank telling me that my VA-loan has been pre-approved in the amount I asked for, so I finally have some clout when I go to put an offer on a house.... Hopefully I'll be in my very own house before July: I DO NOT want to spend another summer living at my parents' unairconditioned house. ...Not to mention that I'm getting married on August 11.
Anyways, about weird dreams:
The weirdest dreams I've had either involved me playing entirely too much video games until too late at night, Belgian chocolate, anime or a combination of the above. I had one dream, after playing too much Age of Empires III, that I was standing on my back porch, and I saw a HUGE mass of Russian Strelets (looked just like the ones in AoE III) come marching up over the hill, so I ran up to my room and grabbed my SKS and crate of 7.62x39mm ammo and started taking potshots at the Strelets...
I had another, again, after playing a marathon session of Day of Defeat, where I was part of a small American unit somewhere in France during WW II that was tasked with holding off endless waves of Germans. I killed so many Germans I ran out of ammo for my M-1, and had to scavenge corpses, and for some reason, none of the shells seemed to fit and they were all different sizes...
The WEIRDEST dream I ever had, though was after staying up half the night when I was just out of High School, reading Ranma 1/2, working on my DooM mod that replaced the zombies with Wolfenstein 3D Nazis, while eating Belgian Chocolate left over from Christmas. That night I dreamed that I somehow got hit with the same Jusenkyo curse that the main character did (getting turned into a girl when splashed with cold water, with hot water reversing the curse), thanks to said main character and his primary rival. After kicking their butts halfway across the world because I was so pissed off, I ended up in a church yard, and used the water from the holy water font to remove the curse, when I noticed that the dream had shifted from anime-style to crude mid 1990's CGI... At that point, a bunch of Nazi SS troops armed with riot shotguns jumped over the walls, but one was close enough for me to kick him in the face, grab his gun and take out the other goons.
I managed to get the one I disarmed to spill the beans on their plot to blow up the Capitol, White House and Pentagon with truck bombs (this was WAY before 9/11) before putting him down for the count, finding my brother and taking off after them in my 1989 Plymouth Sundance (the alleged car I owned back then). After fighting with one of the trucks in an epic road battle across western New York worthy of Mad Max or Indiana Jones, I managed to lead one of the trucks into a swamp in Northern PA near a camper owned by my parents, and used the terrain to my advantage to wipe out the troops in the truck one by one as they chased me through the swamp. I had just gotten back to my car and was about to take off after the other trucks when my alarm clock went off....
Funny thing is, that every time I've eaten Belgian Chocolate before going to bed I've had dreams about being a girl...:/ Must be some funky stuff them Belgians put into their chocolate or something.
