I would have thought I'd dream about Hogmanay or something, but I dreamt about some old video game, instead. XD
---
Last night I dreamt about "extended" versions of the introduction sequences from NiGHTS into dreams. The two I remember most was Claris' sequence, and a strange '3rd Character' one. The 3rd character was apparently a boy who had dreams of going into science, and lived in a white-paneled, wooden bungalow. He had a reasonable-sized back yard, surrounded by railings, where he would build little rockets to send into the air.
During the sequence, the smoky nightmare creatures from the series' intros burst from a rocket's exhaust and chased him into his house, which had a bright light inside it. That was where the sequence ended.
Claris' sequence was similar to how it is in the video game ( which can be found around the 1:21 mark here ), though instead of the light at the end, it was an open doorway that led into some dark area. Though she didn't run far in, more huddled down near the entrance, and watched the smoky creatures milling around, making a lot of noise as they did so. Then suddenly she got this 'I'm going to kick your rear' expression and ran back out to attack them. I recall she had one in a headlock before the dream transitioned into a false-awakening.
At this point I felt I had woken up. It was dark, so I went to flick the light switch, but I had a hard time getting out of bed because of some arm that was trying to keep me pinned down. Eventually I bit it to get it to let me go, and tried to turn on the light. But it never came on. I got a little uneasy at this point, but tried thinking nothing of it, and tried to turn on my computer instead, ironically with the intent of writing down the previous dream. *laughs*
Though instead of switching on, it made a slight whir, then went silent again. This happened several times, until the screen finally lit up. It carried a warning saying I had too many desktops open at once, and that I should close some before progressing. I felt a bit weirded out by this, and still had that uneasy feeling, so I had a look around to see if anything bad was going to happen. I noticed that it was daylight, now, and that my room light was hanging closer to the ground than what it should be in real life. I could easily reach up and touch it without even having to stretch.
I 'woke up' again at this point, only now I was in some kind of spaceship, and there were people crawling around everywhere. Apparently the gravity was so strong on board that no-one could stand up. I didn't seem to have much of a problem, though, and easily walked toward the door at the end of the room I was in. On the other side was the roof of a building, and someone was sitting at the edge, painting a billboard for some brand of soup. I headed over to ask if he was worried about falling, when a flying object - I can't remember if it was a helicopter or not, but I THINK it was - appeared and someone inside started shouting at us. We ran back through the door that I'd initially come through.
Now there was a big pile-up of people and random objects, all trying to get away from something in the room that was controlling the gravity and pulling them toward it. I tried to help, but someone kept putting their hand over my face, so I couldn't see.
I finally woke up for real at this point.

Thoughts & observations:
Well that dream sure took a turn for the creepy. I wouldn't call it scary enough to be a nightmare, though.
( but thanks for trying, subconscious. I'm sure you were just trying to wish me a happy new year... *cough* )
I used to have a lot of random, NiGHTS-related dreams years ago. Doesn't happen so much, now, but it's nice to see that they're still pretty funny and stupid. I kind of want to draw Claris beating up some smoke monsters, now. XD
Lamest case of false awakenings, ever. I don't even know if I should count the second one as a proper false awakening at all.
Oh, well. Happy New Year to anyone who actually happens to read this. Hope you have many crazy dreams in 2011. :D
