I had a good nap from 6:30--> 9:30pm today. It was quite disorientating waking up.
Now, for the real part of my entry, which is about my dream. It once again appeared in a kind of movie-like story.
As far as I can gather, the story is about a man, a leader, who has throughout his life been getting a sense of deja-vu, like he has seen and lived fragments of his life before, only he hasn't. The time and place was one such that anybody with real talent can change the outcome of history. This man was such a person. Throughout
There was a scene where the man was walking in an indoor environment. Some alarm goes off, and he walks in the command centre/observation tower.
The man (somehow) was transported upwards. At this point, I was looking first-person down. A feint light beam was aimed directly below.
It was a standard sci-fi single beam type weapon being fired onto the building. The man wasn't killed, but many were. This was an "Oh shi-" moment for the man.
From what I understand, this was the event that the man had been dreaming for years. It didn't happen exactly, and his dreams didn't show what exactly happened, but throughout his life, components of the events were spliced into his many different dreams. He realized it at the end though.
It is like taking The Starry Night by Van Gogh, cutting the painting into a couple dozen blocks, pasting the blocks onto new boards, and drawing a different painting around that block while retaining the same sort of style and theme. The result are drawings that look similar individually, with a common theme, but impossible to reconstruct the original. He finally realized what the dreams (or new paintings) were after seeing the event ( The Starry Night).
Analysis:
1) This immediately reminds me of Command and Conquer et Kane.
2) The twist ending is reminiscent of the end of the last book in Hitch Hiker's Guide.
3) This is probably some fantasy of wanting my dreams to have actual meaning.
4) It is weird to have a dream about a guy whose dreams were actually not dreams, but are visions of the future.
