You Know My Name

For anyone who follows my other blog, A Reaper's Memories, you know I have a very boring class called Ancient Japanese Civilization. It SOUNDED interesting. But boy, was I wrong. Anyway, I took a test in that class on Wednesday and I had a dream last night about the results, which then led to other things...it's really weird so forgive me if it doesn't make much sense.

***
I was sitting in the classroom for my Ancient Japanese Civilization class, but all the desks were facing the left side of the classroom, as opposed to the front. The professor was walking around the classroom, handing back our tests, and I remember the sun coming in through the window, pretty much blinding me and creating a huge glare on my laptop. She handed back my test and I failed it horribly (though I'm pretty sure I didn't do that bad on it) and I was so mad. I was mad, because my essay questions were correct, but she just didn't like my answers, so she failed me. I almost flipped out, but contained myself before leaving the class. I went to the theater and they were preforming something, but I talked to someone and had him make fun of my professor on stage without actually making fun of her. I can't really explain what happened, because I don't really even know. To sum it up, I got a guy to call my professor a bitch, not directly, but it was known that it was towards her. After that, me and my girlfriend went into some show or something on campus, but since most of the seats were full, we started sliding down railings as opposed to walking through the crowded aisles. When we eventually found seats, I turned to the guy next to me and started talking to him. He looked like Jason Segel (from movies like Forgetting Sarah Marshall and I Love You, Man) and I told him that. He started laughing and said people told him that a lot. We talked for a bit and became friends. But this is where things started getting weird.

He told me he thought I was cool and he was going to spare me from a virus he was going to spread. At first, I was cool with it, and asked him what kind of computer virus it was, and then asked if he could spare my girlfriend too. He looked at me and said he wished he could, but if it spread to her it couldn't be helped. He then informed me it wasn't a computer virus, like I had originally thought, but an actual airborne virus that would slowly kill everyone who didn't have the vaccine. I asked him if my girlfriend and I could have the vaccine, but he refused. Things turned kind of Metal Gear Solid like, and I found myself sneaking through a forest area. I found myself with some gear that I'm not really sure how I got, and was taking out some of the guys guards on the way to his facility. I had a weapon that I believe was similar to the way the virus would work. I would shoot it, and a bee would fly out, stinging whoever I hit with it. Then, a swarm of bees would fly around that person, stinging them to death. I think the virus was going to eventually be put into these bees' stingers and spread in a similar way.

When I arrived at the facility, I was spotted by a guard, but he was decayed and looked like a zombie. An alert was triggered and I sorted through my weapons to try and find something to incapacitate the guards with without killing them (even though they were zombies I guess). I was eventually killed because I wasn't prepared with my weapons, but was able to start over at the beginning of the room. This time, I set my stealth camouflage, along with some good weapons, and was able to sneak in and out, placing bombs as I did so. I also remember these weird binoculars I had that were made out of eyeballs, ripped out of Revolver Ocelots head. As I left the facility, things shifted to more of a James Bond feel. I was talking on a communicator to someone who I guess was supposed to be my wife and she was talking about our daughter. She eventually called her by a nickname that my wife never knew for my daughter, which tipped me off to the fact that this wasn't who I thought it was. I followed her instructions to where she wanted me to go, but I knew this was a setup. When I arrived, I was ready, and killed her and the bad guy, explaining how I had figured out what they were up to. I walked away from the facility as it exploded, destroying all traces of the virus inside.

This song was stuck in my head after the dream, so I'll share it like I do with all the other songs that get stuck in my head due to dreams.

Love and Money

I don't really know if I can explain these dreams so well, but I'll try my best.

Dream One
My girlfriend put me to bed last night before leaving to go home. In my dream, she was debating either staying the night or taking me home with her. While we were talking, her dad showed up at my house. He walked in with her little sister and started yelling at me and I told him that she was just about to go home and to relax. I think we started fist fighting or something and my girlfriend ended up being missing after that. I looked everywhere for her, but couldn't find her. I think I chased down some bad guy who was escaping in a plane or something and stabbed him. Then it was like I was playing a video game and when I finished the final chapter I would find out where she was. I was so tired and wanted to go to bed, but I couldn't unless I found her. In the middle of the final chapter of the game, I thought of something. I went outside and opened her car, and there she was. I don't know why she was in there but I think it had something to do with her dad taking her and then I guess he forgot that he made her wait in the car.

Dream Two
My dad told me to go to some event that was going on, so I went. It was announcing who the winner of some fantasy football league was and giving him prize money, which was like one million dollars or something. Then, the person in charge or whatever threw these things that looked like Jolly Ranchers into the crowd, and the people who caught them each got money too. I caught one of them and he wrote me a check for one million dollars. I tried to go to my bank, but I couldn't cash the check there because it was too much money. They told me to go to this other bank and that they would be able to help me. I went there and I don't know exactly what happened, but I ended up going back to my bank and finding out that I had four million in my account. A dream friend was with me in the dream and said that I should just leave it and keep it. I decided to go back to the people who gave me the money and let them know they made a mistake, because I didn't want them hunting me down. I told the guy in charge what happened and he said something like "You just couldn't let it be...". He threw my friend out of a window and then came after me. I fought him back and killed him. It turned out we had found out about some kind of scam they were running to give people in sports more money than they said they were getting. I don't really know. But I ended up becoming a hero for stopping and exposing him. A lot of people wanted to talk with me, but this part of the dream started getting confusing. I was in a video game store trying to buy something with my million dollars. While looking for something to buy, I realized I didn't actually have the money any more because I exposed the scam. When I left, I remembered that the mayor wanted to talk to me about what had happened. I went to see him and I explained that I had a dream, told him what happened in the dream, and then when I woke up I stopped the man in real life. It was so confusing and I'm having trouble describing the whole dream now. But, in the end, the result was the same. I just woke up.

The End of All I Love

Haven't written anything in a while, mostly because this semester has been a little more crazy than I thought it would be. I've also had a problem with remembering my dreams lately, possibly because I haven't been writing what I do remember down. I just woke up from a dream that I'm going to try my best to describe. It was like multiple dreams infused into one but I will break them up.

Dream One
I was at a sporting even for my college team, which I just now realized was basketball. We were cheering them on when we heard that a special guest was coming. It turned out to be Peter Chao, who is a pretty popular YouTube celebrity. I started talking to him but he kept getting mobbed by the crowds of people. At the end, everyone started leaving except for me and a few other people. While we were talking, Peter showed up and was hanging out with us. I don't know what we were all talking about, but I remember it being the most awesome night I had ever experienced. We ended up talking and joking around until 4 AM when the basketball team came in to get ready for a 6 AM practice. We all exchanged info to stay in touch and went our separate ways.

Dream Two
My grandfather's brother was standing at the window in my grandfather's house. He was doing something, I think playing guitar, and my dad turned to me and said "he's going to die soon". I was a bit shocked and then he explained to me that he had cancer and he was about to lose his battle. We later found out that he died. I got dressed for the funeral but didn't have a good black shirt. We drove to the funeral place and when my dad saw what everyone else was wearing he sent me brother inside and took me to the store to get a new shirt. When we got there, I somehow ended up with a new phone that the guy sold to us for a cheap price. The only thing wrong with it was that someone had inscribed some creepy Satan worshipping quote on the back of it. It ended up having some connection to Satan who said that I would have to solve all of his riddles in a certain amount of time or I would be killed and brought to hell. He also said that I could tell some people about this, if they believed me, but he would most likely kill some of them. I decided to mostly keep it to myself. At random occasions, he would drag my soul to hell, leaving my body unconscious. I don't know exactly what happened down there, but I do know that it was horrifying. I don't remember much else from the dream, but I remember waking up in the middle of the night, thankful I was alive and that it was all just a dream.

Dream Three
I think after I woke up from my other dream, I fell asleep into this one. I was talking to my dad and he told me he was going to kill himself. I tried to stop him, but I couldn't. I think him and my uncle decided to kill themselves together. I found myself sitting on the stoop of my grandfather's house not knowing what to do. I felt as though everyone around me was dying. There was a sense of being completely alone in the dream, except for my cousins. I was wondering what I was going to do. Everyone was gone and I had no where to go. Eventually, my dad and my uncle came back from wherever they were, drunk. I was relieved, though I still felt uneasy because my dad didn't seem like himself. We went inside the house, where I was explaining to my cousins about how I hung out with Peter Chao and how we were friends. I tried to message him but he didn't want to message me back. I eventually gave up, but that's all I remember.

What A Horrible Night To Have A Curse

So, I've never actually played Castlevania II for the NES. But I loved the first one intensely. However, I watched Egoraptor's Sequilitis about the two when that first came out. I did however play Dr.Jeckel and Mr.Hyde which I think he mentions in his video. This dream kind of used ideas from both of them. It was so disturbing while I was actually in it so I guess you would have to see it to realize how scary it really was, even though I didn't wake up scared.

***
Me and my girlfriend were playing some game that I can only assume was on the NES. We were killing some monster things and I got a message that said "What a horrible night to have a curse..." which is the line that would show up in Castlevania II. My character changed and started going after my girlfriends character. I told her to run because I had no control over him and he was going to kill her. Something happened and the game turned into a first person view type thing, except we were actually in it, because we had full control over our bodies. We were exploring and grabbing different kinds of weapons that were laying around but as the sun set, the message popped up again. "What a horrible night to have a curse...". Instead of me changing, a whole bunch of horrifying monsters were appearing around me. I pulled out a handgun that I had found while searching and cocked it. I didn't cock it all the way and only one bullet went into my "ammo". I fired one bullet at a time having to cock the gun each time I wanted to fire. I can't even explain what this creature looked like...it was like a rotting heap of flesh with a head. I shot a few bullets into it's head but it didn't seem to be doing anything. While that was going on, there were other horrifying things running around, and I wasn't sure what to focus on. Eventually, I learned the correct way to cock the gun and was given a complete clip of ammo each time. Even after firing an entire clip into the monsters head, it didn't seem to have any effect. I was thinking to myself "what kind of game is this?". Eventually, the morning came and all of the monsters became peaceful or vanished. There was a town nearby that me and my girlfriend ended up at and some of the shopkeepers were goblins. Though they would be hostile at night, they seemed to be friendly now. I realized that what I would have to do is hide when the night time came. I was out exploring in the field again, when the message popped up and night fell. I found a barn that was littered with skulls and bones and hid somewhere completely out of site. I saw some goblins approaching and they somehow knew I was there. They began to light the barn on fire with flamethrowers and I began to burn alive. It was horrible and I remember thinking that I was just going to let myself die because I didn't want to play anymore. Right when my health was about to run out, it filled about a quarter of the way and I exited the barn. Outside, I started fighting and killing the goblins, blowing them up with some wagon full of explosives. I continued to walk and found a few more horrible monsters that I started to fight with some bladed weapons I found. The combat felt so awesome, but I was hardly doing any damage. The last thing I remember was trying to get away from some horrible giant half-dead troll looking monster with tentacles. I remember jumping down a well to escape from him.
