Despite only getting a short sleep due to the weather, it seems my brain was rife with strange and stupid ideas last night!
---
I dreamt that my lower jaw bone had ballooned in size, and had grown large, pointed teeth. Looking in the bathroom mirror, it looked like the typical jaw you would see on an ogre or something, only with lots of bone showing instead of big fat lips. It was like the skin had just broken to allow the bones to grow freely.
The sensation was that it had gotten very heavy, and sort of loose. Like I could just shake my head and it would swing freely. I remember being worried about stabbing the roof of my mouth every time I tried to chew or merely talk.
At some point I was lying in my bed, pretending to be asleep. My upper jaw and nose had now joined the lower in growing out of the skin and was sort of looking like my face was becoming a fox skull or something. My breathing at that point sounded like a snarl or snore, even though I wasn't intending it so. I forget why, in the dream, I was pretending to sleep.
I think I briefly woke up for real around this point, but quickly fell back asleep. The dream scenario, now, was some kind of large house or castle, who's walls were entirely made of a reflective, mirror like substance. There was no ceiling, the sky was blue, and letting lots of sunlight in. The ground, I recall, was a bright, sandy colour. I was there with a friend, and we were trying to get through the building as if it were a sort of puzzle level in a video game.
The puzzle we were looking at at this time, was of an upward sloping hill, where large blocks would randomly slide down and try to knock you back down to the bottom again. Apparently we had been trying and failing to scale this slope for some time, as my friend seemed quite frustrated by it.
We tried again, bolting for the top of the slope, and as predicted, the blocks started sliding down where we were. We got knocked back down, but just tried again and again. Eventually I noticed these dark blue lines along the ground, and, on a hunch, ran along one. The blocks wouldn't slide down an area with the blue line, so I scaled to the top and told my friend how to get there, too.
On the other side of the slope, there was a sheer drop, and a platform way in the distance with no obvious way to cross to it. My friend quickly figured it out, however, and pointed out that there were platforms that we could jump to. But the catch was that they only appeared in the reflections on the walls, so we had to judge from that where they were.
It didn't take long before we misjudged and fell down the pit. Instead of doom, though, it seemed to lead to an under water library made up of lots of connected, small rooms. There were, as expected, lots of shelves lining the walls. In the gaps where there weren't any, there were drawings stapled to the wall, that looked like they were drawn by very young children. They seemed mostly military related, with tanks and bomber aircrafts being prominant. There were also giant bottles of Irn Bru floating around... Uhh...
We swam through the library, my friend taking it upon himself to topple every set of shelves he came across, both because it was 'his duty', and because we were apparently now looking for square cloths hidden behind them that were white with a red criss-cross pattern on them. I think we found one, before the dream drastically changed.
Now I was watching some sort of news documentary about a new technology to slow down criminals escaping from a crime. Apparently police were now equipped with a sort of stun gun that caused people's legs to lock up, preventing them from running. There was a demonstration on the screen, of a man stealing a woman's bag and trying to escape, only for his legs to lock with a 'crick' sound, and him to fall over and be apprehended. I remember the man was black, and someone off screen called the show racist.
There was supposedly going to be a large debate after the show about the ethical implications of such technology, but I had lost interest in the television and was talking to family about the dreams I had just had, describing the mirror house and the bizarre giant jaw problem.
I woke up for real shortly after this...
Thoughts and Observations:
The giant jaw was entirely strange, and somewhat disconcerting. Oddly I wasn't very scared during the ordeal, just... kind of weirded out by it...
Another giant building! Not as interesting as the last, and I have to admit, it kind of reminds me of Rayman 3. Apart from the Irn Bru, of course. I have no explanations for that... XD
Leg Locker Technology™. I have no idea how that would even work, never mind how feasible it would be. I'm not sure where my brain was going with that one...
Describing dreams within a dream is something that has happened a few times, recently, actually. It's... kind of annoying. My brain should at least wait until I'm awake before going through the 'how did my dream go, again...' rigmarole. XD
