Exciting Dreams

[moon_custafer]

Had a slew of Sherlock Holmes dreams last night, including one which was basically a gender-swapped version of 'The Copper Beeches,' and a steampunk one that I didn't get to see the end of, but which had a sequence where the heroine is kidnapped by someone with a skyhook and a zeppelin, and then escapes by seizing an inflatable raft and jumping while they're over a river, after telling the villain she trusts gravity more than she trusts him.

Later, she regroups with Holmes and Watson, and they come across a password-locked entrance which turns out to be very "speak friend and enter" -- as Holmes points out, it's a door - the logical thing to say is "open." He has to say it three times, though, because the first couple of times the door tries to trick him with false images of different rooms he can't enter.

Way cool!

Those certainly beat my last batch all to hell--the one about seeing a version of The Social Network at a movie theatre so large you could only see a portion of the screen (which was the entire roof, like a Planetarium) at one time, and what you saw depended on where you sat, for example. Or the one about travelling with an insane Baptist teenager who kept constantly trying to marry or exorcize everyone around him, particularly because we never really seemed to go anywhere, just waited interminably for a train that never arrived.

Hey, I think that guy was one one of my dreams as well, last year - I'm pretty sure there were some guys trying to hit on/convert me while I was in a train station.

Anyway the zeppelin dream turned out slightly prophetic, as we ran across a meeting of the Toronto Steampunk Society at Pauper's while we were downtown today; couldn't stick around though, as the place was too crowded.
