Dreams

So, I dreamed that there was an apartment building that was actually a home for elderly vampires. Two of the vampires had been companions for a long, long time, and often went out among the youngsters--they could make themselves look whatever ages they liked, but reverted to a late sixtyish appearance when alone--to largely watch the humans and go 'those were the days'. One of the other tenants was a vampire named Collins, who had a thing for theatre. He could quote about any play ever made off the top of his head, and had a penchant for referring to others by their place in the narrative fabric...a kind of unstable guy, but his predictions based on how the story 'should' go were right more often than not, which gave him a special kind of status in the building. People would consult him (usually while offering Broadway tickets), and so forth. Collins was close to another vampire who is brutally and mysteriously murdered.

The vampiric couple return back to building after hearing of her death, and there's a huge ruckus up on the top floor where Collins lives. They run up the stairs to find Collins levitating and tearing into the walls, demanding to find the Carolyn-character's words...the vampire's name who died was not Carolyn, but he insisted it was, and the walls of his apartment were plastered in quotes, poetry, and posters. The building security guard was there, trying to talk Collins down, but the vampire became more and more agitated, until he finally leapt upon the security guard in a frenzy. Shots were fired, and Collins was killed, just at the couple notice, carved into a closet door with what looked like fingernails, "All I Really Want Is To Be Left Alone." But beneath it, a poster covered something that appeared to be pulsing, and the male of the couple reached out and started tearing at the paper, revealing more words, red light blazing behind them. And just as enough was revealed that I could start to read it, I woke up.

How was your night?

Walking up a sort of bridge into the sky where future-memories of skyscrapers ghosted past. I was a primitive, who was with another primitive/relative who'd been to the end of time and remembered everything...

I like your dream!

Thanks! The other one I recall had an underground complex, all concrete, with people dressed up as clowns (face-paint, tattered outfits, no wigs) running around with what might have been makeshift weapons...

I like your dreams much better than my own. I made the mistake of watching "House" last night and the death of the baby in the episode stalked me through my dreams all night.

I, um, worked all night. No dreams because even though we aren't that busy, they frown on sleeping while on the job. :-D

Supposedly, but I have amazon order that should be arriving any mintue now... okay, any minute for the past hour or so... I am pondering just letting them leave it on the porch like they usually do. Ti-red.

Not nearly that interesting. I so rarely remeber my dreams. :(

Holy crap I wish I had dreams like that. Your dreams tell STORIES! Even my most coherent ones just throw weird or uncomfortable situations at me and make me go "buh?"

*jealoooouuuus*
