A thousand miles and poles apart

[clevermanka]

Sunday night I finally had a dream with Tom Hiddleston in it. Like Real Life, though, things went off the rails pretty much right from the start and the whole thing ended in shambles.

The dream:
This was some sort of alternate universe where the events of Thor never happened, although Loki knew he was a Frost Giant, but everyone was pretty okay with it. Kind of. Most of the time. Anyway, Loki and I were married and had a baby daughter, but that was all background. The dream opened with Asgard being invaded by some army (I have no idea who, not Frost Giants), and a whole bunch of the main Asgardian players were taken prisoner. Pretty much everyone in the royal house except me and Thor were gone. The war went on for eight or ten years and nobody gained ground. Asgardian morale was eventually in the pits because dude, everybody's gone and families are mourning for ten fucking years, etc. It was very sad and angsty.

Eventually, someone from the enemy camp came to me in secret and said that they would give me a potion that, if I drank it, would make some magic that would allow Thor to find their weak spot and defeat them and bring all the prisoners home. How did I transfer this knowledge? I had to have sex with Thor. Of course. So I had sex with Thor. Not Loki. WHAT THE FUCK, DREAM BRAIN? COME ON. Once we had sex, Thor figured out how to defeat the enemy. I couldn't tell him this was the plan though, he had to just be willing to have sex with his brother's wife, which added an extra nasty layer to the later developments.

Thor then led a contingent to defeat the enemy and brought everyone home in short order. Nobody had aged except the kids, so now my baby girl was ten years old and didn't know me and it was all very emotional. A big group of us were gathered in a room, seeing each other for the first time in a decade and I clung to our daughter because I couldn't face my husband and I didn't know if I was going to tell him how we figured out how to defeat the enemy. I knew he would eventually find out, though, and our marriage probably wouldn't survive, not to mention destroy his relationship with Thor. Eventually I looked over at him and I could tell by his expression that he knew something was wrong. He walked over to me and held out his hand. I went down on my knees in front of him, held his hand to my face and started to cry.

Then I woke up because I was so sad that my chest and throat hurt bad enough to wake me.



So THANKS, DREAM BRAIN. Thanks for giving me another emo dream where I have sex with the wrong guy.

In continuing emo news, have a wonderful Sherlock vid, done to Adele's theme for Skyfall.

I woke up yesterday morning from a dream in which I had gotten a new temp job at A Warehouse, Somewhere, and in the course of my work-wanderings, I discovered rows of people in storage, a la Coma, and spent time trying to figure out how to get them the hell out of there. I eventually hauled myself out of that dream, only to find I'd forgotten to set the alarm. I wasn't late, but just because the snake hadn't bitten me doesn't mean it wasn't still a snake.

I spent most of yesterday feeling like someone was going to drop one of those 16-ton weights on me.

Ew. Nasty dream.

[redheadfae.livejournal.com]

Think what a potion like that could do for camp followers everywhere? Wow.

That dream was just sixteen shades of wrong.

I actually hadn't heard Skyfall yet. That was very well done.

That dream was just sixteen shades of wrong.

Good kind of wrong, though. I mean, really intense and amazing. Just sad.

I think I'd have gotten up, gotten a stiff drink, and gone back to bed to attempt to MURDER MY SUBCONSCIOUS, if I were you. Although I'm not sure which offense is worse.


Also, I think I'm envious!

Love the tumblr! Another dress tumblr for me to follow!

I tried to return to the dream that night and last night, to no avail. GOD DAMN IT.

[saffronhare.livejournal.com]

If this dream ever happens again -- and, for your sake, I hope it doesn't -- please feel free to throw me at Thor and SAVE YOURSELF. I will take that one for the team...er, you. Y'know.

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

WILL DO.

He gives decent head, btw. If you're interested.

[carmy-w.livejournal.com]

Oddly enough, you are not the only person in my LJ to have odd dreams today....

Wow. That's...some dream. Jumping around in a dream like that doesn't happen to me. Even when my dreams are pretty fucking surreal (http://chernobylred.livejournal.com/800278.html) they have a solid, sequential narrative structure.

This says a lot about me.

No wonder you were jealous of my Matt Smith dream.

It was much shorter, though.

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

Yeah.

*sigh*

I'd take short and sweet if I actually got the guy I wanted in the dream.

[shrijani.livejournal.com]

I am sorry your Dream Brain did that to you! I was downright excited to read a dream transcript, and so bummed at the end! Boo!

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

Tragic dreams are tragic.

[alryssa.livejournal.com]

Your brain is cruel and unusual.

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

Proof that one's subconscious is all the worst parts of oneself. Or maybe that's just me.

[grnvixen.livejournal.com]

All that in one dream? Sounds more like a trilogy for Peter Jackson :). But hey, It's a Girl!

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

Ha! Yeah, my subconscious doesn't fuck around. It likes SRS BSNS plot developments and character depth.

[belluthien.livejournal.com]

Wow, what a dream!
And it left you hanging! Ghah!
