Ok, my memories of this dream are becoming a little fuzzy since I’ve been spending all morning trying to figure out how to get the my tumblr’s appearance to look better. Now, I’m going to scribble down as much as I remember asap…
I would also like to note that I was kind of ‘conscious’ in the dream. Like things were happening beyond my control, but I could sit there and think about what’s going on even though I kind of went with the flow of events. I dunno if that makes sense.
Anyway, this is what happened. For whatever reason, my dream takes place at my house in Japan from when I used to live there. It wasn’t really a house, but more of a military housing unit similar to a two story town home.
My friends and I were having some kind of get together. Nothing special, just hangin out like we normally do. I don’t remember exactly who was there anymore.
Something had been wrong with the sky over the past few days. There was some kind of weird ominous yellow hue in the afternoon sky that day. Anyway, by now it was night time, and I felt really uncomfortable for some reason. Suddenly, someone screamed, “THEY’RE BACK!” and pointed up towards the the corner of the room. Everyone started panicking and screaming in chaos. I look up and see balloons floating up on the ceiling just like any normal helium filled balloon. So I was kind of confused as they looked rather harmless.
The balloons were ‘seeping’ into the room from the seams where the walls meet the ceiling. I guess by ‘seeping’ you could say inflating, but they were kind of being stretched into the room already blown up. These were you typical party balloons too. Red was there…so was yellow, purple, green..Umm..I don’t think there were any blue balloons. Like I said, they were floating up at the ceiling, but suddenly, they slowly started to descend towards people in a balloon-like manner as if a gentle downward wind asked them kindly to change direction.
Everyone ran out of the room and out the front door. I don’t know where everyone else went, but there were about 5 of us standing outside in the front yard now. A popped balloon carcass was spotted on the lawn. Some informed lad says, “Don’t touch it!” While another knowledgeable chap says, “And look out for spiders too!”
I concluded that the balloons must poisonous to the touch resulting in instant death and somehow they are mutant arachnid balloons or spiders have something to do with it. It made sense in the dream..So I dunno..
Anyway, it was dark, foggy, and a little cold outside. Then, some random girl said she needs to get her dog that she left inside. We open the front door and call for her dog and her dog comes. For whatever reason I don’t understand, about 6 random people start asking to get their pets. So, we stand by the front door and call for all their pets until everyone is happy. One person even had a bird!? Yoda, Naomi’s dog, was there too. He made it out safely.
Then, all the animals go away to wherever things go when dreams take stuff away from the scene. We begin walking away from the house. Suddenly, there is a loud “BANG!” as the front door slams open and everyone gets scared…but it was only my dog. I haven’t seen him since he died, but he shows up now for some reason. I’m thinking I should close the door to keep the balloons in the house, but then somehow the door magically closes behind him.
Moving on, we get to the parking lot and we see someone peeking through the blinds in their house across the lot. It was Arie. We call her cell and she is just chillin and really has no concern for the apparent danger.
Leaving it at that, we run down the street with some kind of frantic urgency calling people we know to warn them that the balloons are back. And, for what its worth, we do have flashlights. Flashlights in the fog are cool.
Apparently, this isn’t the first poison-murder-balloon-apocalypse that has devastated humanity. We run to the back of what I assumed was a Ryan’s. I remember calling Kevin and getting his voicemail. I’m thinking that this dream is getting retarded and yes I realized this while in the dream. The city seems abandoned, everyone is unreachable, and the only balloons I saw were in the house. Whatever, it doesn’t have to make sense.
I call Lexi’s phone and get her voicemail. We start exploring tunnels similar to the corridors in the interrogation room level in N64’s Goldeneye but a little more sewer-like. Lets just say we were in sewers with green and white walls. I call Lexi again and get her voicemail. Then, Lexi just pops up around the corner and tells me that she saw us coming and didn’t pickup her phone because she wanted to pop out to try and scare us. She is completely oblivious to the ‘danger’ that is looming upon us all. I eventually wake up after I determine that this dream is leading nowhere.
Dream Triggers:
- The ominous sky looked like it did a week ago when I saw the sun behind some clouds when I was leaving a building at work.
- It was really foggy last night.
- I watched Chris and Ody play Left 4 Dead last night.
- 99.9% of the time, you get Kevin’s voicemail when you call him.
