before i forget...
so last night's medication-induced drama was actually quite entertaining!
it's already 9:30 am so i'll have to try hard to remember the pieces...
yesterday we spent the post-ct-scan recovery playing board games. i know you're not supposed to open wedding gifts before the wedding, but we really (really) couldn't help it. it was too tempting! so we spent the entire day on the warpath, with a glass or two of wine and the great game of risk. which definitely seeped into my dream!
goes as follows:
s and i were driving somewhere in the dark and pulled to the side of the road because we saw something in the bushes. upon pulling away the branches (i think my subconscience pulled this part out of the movie "children of men") we saw a small old-fashioned tv and a note that we could watch a movie for free. so we sat hidden in the branches watching a pretty long movie. there was an old house in the background and the lights were all off.
all of a sudden i came to the realization that nothing in life is free and we must be playing into some kind of a trap. s agreed and we turned around to see the lights in the house turned on, and two adolescent boys were approaching our car in the driveway. it was then daytime. we ran to the car and the boys walked a bit past us so that we were able to jump in and speed away (just in time). they chased after us on bikes, but our car was able to beat them (pretty good for a volvo!). we had forgotten something back on the road, so we drove back, hoping that they had gone home and forgotten about us.
cut to: (this is where the boardgame came in) watching a general strategize over the next moves his army is going to make in the war against a women who's face was very distinctive. i didn't recognize this face, but for some reason this army general wanted her destroyed so sent out men with bows and arrows to destroy her. all of a sudden the men were met with millions of this woman riding horses like the calvalry and they were equally matched. as they collided, one man crashed into one of these horse-riding women and they piled on top of each collision so that a great wall was formed. (hard to explain but i can still see it). she was somehow defeated and a man and his sidekick took her captive. the setting then switched to something i could picture out of "a handmaid's tale".
cut to: these two men driving this woman around and holding her captive for political control of a country. i'm pretty sure they killed her at one point but then there was a great event (such as a flood or something) that wiped out the entire population. she was then able to come back to life, and after the flood, every single person in the population looked identical to this woman. amidst clones, the man trying to kill her was unable to differentiate between her and all of the other people in the country. she then ran into a cornfield and somehow (as an observer) i realized that her shoes or something about her was distinctive and would give her away. the mean marched up and down the corn and she was barely able to stay hidden.
then she was found...a whole lot of chasing scenes ensued and one involving some sort of monster truck getaway....that's the best i can do. odd.
