Shattered Dreams

I have been waiting to use this title for a while. I remember pieces from a couple different dreams last night but not enough to be able to piece together a story. It is really a shame this night because the second one had some real depth to it. If anything though, this night shows my overly media induced life as there are references galore in these pieces. The picture above was a great find as my dreams this evening are like the remnants of Zechs' mask.

In the first piece I picked up a Pokemon cards (again) and saw one of them wasn't for battling but had a trivia piece on it. It said that my friend Gina was in the movie Drag Me to Hell. I rent the movie and see that she is clearly in the opening scene. Later I picked up a Trivial Pursuit card and saw that Lisa was in a major film too. This card told me she was an extra in the warehouse scene of Serenity. Putting the film in I see that she is in focus for a few seconds before the camera racked focus to Malcolm and River. After that all I remember is talking to the twins and asking why they didn't tell me they were in those movies.

The second shard of broken glass here is about deep issues like war, peace, love and death. I was talking to Zechs Marquis about these issues. I am sure we also got to the topic of why we as human beings feel the need to compete and fight. It's a natural instinct. This could have also stemmed into the issue of human selfishness but I honestly don't remember , but I wish I did. I have tried really hard to rack my brain and all I came up with a small third sliver of glass from last night.

Third dream: I theorized on why I can get away with walking into people's homes in Oblivion to talk them and not have to knock on the door and how this is no way reflects on real life therefore taking me out of the immersive real-life experience Oblivion is supposed to give. I thought about this as I walked down my street trying both techniques. Oddly enough I didn't freak out the person who I walked in on but it didn't feel right.
I am pretty sure I remember Keira Knightley showing up at some point too so here's a picture.

Axis, Allies, Jelly Beans and Trolls

I was looking through some cards that looked like they were a cross between Pokemon and Magic the Gathering cards when Tony busted in and said he wanted to show me a real game. So Corey and Tony began playing a twisted version of Axis and Allies... in my sister's room... with jelly beans. Corey's Nazi baby blue beans started marching toward Russia and took a crucial bridge. He left the room and while he was gone Tony played a big card resulting in his red jelly beans taking over half the territory Corey just took. Tony ate all the jelly beans from Corey's vanquished troops. Corey was upset when he came back and fought to reclaim the bridge. Odd thing in doing so, history be damned, a few turns later Russia was being run by the Nazis and Europe was covered by the Russians. Corey still had the bridge though and as hard as Tony tried he couldn't get more than a third of the way across. By now all the beans had been eaten and they were playing with green and red tiles.
Someone should make a "Someone has eaten all of Hitler's jellybeans" Youtube video.

After this came to a standstill they turned there eyes toward northern Africa, which was being run by an invisible third player who was using those odd Halloween orange circus peanut marshmallow things nobody ever eats. Corey quickly took high command here leaving Tony with just a small camp of troops left in Morocco. I asked my sister "Why doesn't Tony use the troll units he has in Paris?" My sister responded by saying the trolls suck. Apparently either the troll is the worst unit in the game or the Nazi's have troll rockets or something. I prefer to think of the latter as the truth.
