08 January 2006

Up at 7:50. I had a very strange dream in which thousands of people in my city were made homeless. we were all congregated in one general area for a while, then the cops came and tear-gassed us and it became like this crazy, nightmarish dystopia.[mi]
So I'm just trying to find this place to sleep, in the cold with only a jacket. I notice police tape type barriers everywhere, and go through one, and some how climb to the top of a building..

It turns out that the cops are already up there, using it as some sort of command post. It seems like they had to do some computer/networking stuff up there, and there are workers, etc up there. I'm just frozen. I just sort of sit there, in plain view, frozen. And no one notices me for a while. More technical workers come up, do some counter-hacking trying to bust up secret discussion groups or something, and people are now on both sides of me, talking, and I realize that they think I'm supposed to be there. I give some brief suggestions and listen to all their strategizing. They're all quite stupid. They also talk about this park, which I think would have been great to make it too, and say how they have a bunch of undercover officers there and will sweep the place later.

The next day everyone has a place to stay, and I can relax.

Delmoi, are your dreams like experiencing a real life event, or watching a movie?

It sounds filmic.

Sounds like you were reading MeFi before going to bed.

Mostly they feel like dreams. And the more awake I get, the less vivid they are, which means that I'm more likely to remember less vivid ones. But they definitely feel like I'm experiencing them.

Although I do remember having a dream recently that while it felt like first person, it had a much more film-like plot and I remember thinking after I got up that it had "great cinematography" Just really visualy beautiful shots and stuff.
