Opening Song: "Your Song" - Ewan McGregor
In what felt like a gothic version of The Wizard of Oz, Allison, Heather, Josh, and I cautiously walked down the highway, protecting the community. Allie (aka Dinkie) appeared in front of us in a black halter top and dress with some random guy and we warned her not to venture beyond the moon. Of course, she didn't listen; she walked past the moon and faded away. Then, the four of us flew up and landed on the horizon in a diagonal line and broke out into song and dance about the moon and such. The choreography was chock full of John Travolta, roller disco moves.
Next thing I knew, I'd fallen into a dark cave that resembled the one from the Mortal Kombat video game (Goro's Lair). Jamie was there, wearing a hooded brown cloak. A boulder-elevator crashed to the ground and three guards ran out and seized Jamie. They wouldn't let her past the door because her teeth were too yellow. Harsh.
I was admitted into the control room where Shannon was already playing a live-action version of The Sims on the floor. I created some characters (one of whom was Lucy Liu from Kill Bill) and built a miniature mansion with marble floors and ski lodge.
At that second, the guy who ran the ski lodge appeared and Shannon started yelling at him because he never showed up to work on time, and his poor guests "wanted their breakfast, damn it!" She then attacked him like a wild bear and she laughed innocently the entire time. When he started fighting back and it looked like she was in trouble, I stepped in and beat him for a while and tossed him back to Shannon so she could finish the job.
Back to The Sims game, Lucy Liu and some guy kept throwing & kicking each other through glass walls, windows and doors. Two guys in baggy clothes entered and the control room morphed into my basement. I felt embarrassed because the video game actually looked a lot like a dollhouse. Then, my mom came over and said "This is boring. Got any action games, man?"
I woke up embarrassed because I thought I'd been playing with a secret dollhouse in the basement. This dream (the first part) was obviously inspired by some movies I'd watched recently: The Wiz (jazzed-up version of Wizard of Oz), AI: Artifical Intelligence (running away from the moon), and Moulin Rouge (dancing in the clouds). The dance moves, however, reminded me a lot of our school's 2001 musical, Friday Knight Fever.
