chalk another one up on the list of strange dreams i've been having lately. though this one is obviously influenced by my choices of pop culture distractions. through most of the dream i'm running around fighting monsters that look kind of like stuff you'd see in the God of War series. funny thing is though, i'm using guns and grenades to fend them off. rather steampunk looking weapons at that. (the brass inlay blunderbuss shotgun was apparently my favorite.) the choice of weapons and the fact that dead enemies dropped rather nice and expensive cut gems was a dead ringer for Resident Evil 5, which i've been playing way too much of lately. so after running around in ruins and temples and filling my pockets with goodies, i'm off to stand in line at the gem dealer. standing in line next to me is jethro gibbs from NCIS. strange, but we strike up a conversation about what sorts of gems we collected that day. he had a nice diamond egg that had a similar cut to a marquis cut diamond i had collected. (both were about the size of our palms too.)
afterward i'm in some large farmhouse with jessy. apparently the house belongs to some of her family, at least in the dream. i don't think i've ever seen this house in real life. when i look out back i notice a lot of scorch marks on the ground and keep following them around to the back where the woods behind the house had apparently caught on fire recently. the real tragedy was that there used to be this beautiful gazebo out near the woods that was built around a large oak tree. it had of course burnt to the ground and all that was left was part of the foundation and large parts of the tree.
the funny thing is that this same gazebo had been in another dream. so as i'm dreaming of this burnt, ruined structure, i'm remembering how it used to look in an old dream. at that point the dream kind of fades away and i wake up a few minutes later.
