I was stepping out of a movie theater. You know that feeling when you step out and the light and the time just hits you? Yea, that feeling. So as I was exiting the theater I ran into a kid I know from college. He was acting very weird and I suggested that he go home and feel better. He told me he was on molly, and that everything was feeling great. He asked me if I wanted any and I said "sure, why not." As I was walking over to the restroom with him I ran into another guy I knew from college, Matt. Matt told me to follow him so I ditched Alex and followed Matt to a different restroom. I don't think Alex cared at all since he was on ecstasy. As we were walking to the restroom, Matt kept stressing about how much he really wanted to do acid and that we were gonna do acid finally! Once Matt and I were in the restroom he gave me a small looking thing that was wrapped. It looked like a piece of candy, or a slice of butter, those butters you find for spreading on your bread at restaurants. I unwrapped the package and what I saw was a jolly rancher looking thing, except it was glowing really bright green. Matt told me it was acid, I wasn't even thinking about what acid really was (a sheet of paper) so I ate the candy looking thing, it was very chewy. Matt and I then proceeded to walk out of the restroom. I didn't feel any acid effects. Matt was acting funny though. This is where the first part of the dream ends. Lets continue to the second part.
I was walking through a shopping center much like The Grove in Los Angeles with a buddy of mine. Based on the weather and how the sky looked, it could have been 4 in the morning, just as the sun was coming up. He was talking about how the place we were walking through was weirdly gated and no one could really get out, and I said something like, "This is like the move The Island, huh." My friend and I then started to get into a conversation about the movie. Later on as we are walking through this empty shopping space, I hear a voice from above and it look like 3 guys with 4 girls. They look like pornstars. I think they were talking about being trapped or something. I'm not exactly sure. The thing is that they weren't really scared about their situation. They seemed apathetic about it. Whatever. After my encounter with those people my dream then cut to a smaller scene. My friend I was walking with was gone by the way.
I was walking through some convention, it might've been a mall, I'm not sure, but what I'm sure of was that I was walking with an acquaintance from college and I remember seeing/passing by a macbook. A black macbook. What cam next was probably the scariest, it doesn't seem scary now, but it did in my dream.
I was back at the shopping center, the empty shopping center. This time I was with a girl, and this girl and I had sex. She turned out to be some warrior. One of those warriors who fought with swords and shit. All of a sudden I'm trying super hard to get out of this weird gated community, I have a sword in my hand, I was really scared because it was just me, this girl, and some GUY, having to battle thousands upon thousands of ninja warriors. I wasn't sure if I was going to make it out of this battle alive. And while things were happening, something weird would happen. I would all of a sudden see a freeze frame, a frozen scene that looked like it could have been from a movie, of 3-5 warriors, one of them being a girl, surrounded by thousands of ninjas dressed in black. It was like, the final stand, the climax of the movie, the part where the 5 people take on a thousand enemies at once and win, even if those 5 people are surrounded in a circle.
Anyways,
Now I'm running up and down stone spiral staircases (not sure if I had a sword in my hand or not at this point) and I fear for my life. The frozen scene keeps popping up as well as the girl and the guy. To summarize, it is around 4 in the morning, very gray and blue, there are ninjas trying to kill me, and my only friends are a girl and a guy. Oh, and I have a sword in my hand and that one frozen scene keeps popping up, with a close up on the girls sweaty, determined, fierce face. Anyways, this goes on for a while. I'm running through the place, killing ninjas and just adventure-ing. Now it is time for the end of the dream.
Eventually I find the gate, the border of the place I was trapped in, and funnily enough, the gate isn't tall or anything. I simply grab the top of the fence and prop myself over with ease. I was now on the outside of the gated hell and I was looking at a street at up at buildings that reminded me of East Los Angeles. Time had passed, a LOT of time had passed and there was more sun than there was before. I turn around and look back at the fence, and there is Alex, chillin, standing on the other side. All of a sudden I remembered the molly that Alex was supposed to give me so I ask for some. He told me he didn't have anymore. I didn't care. I was just happy to be back.
I find myself needing my phone and my wallet and I search my body for those two items, finding out they aren't with me. I start to panic and this is the part when I started to slowly realize that I might be dreaming, yet my dream was not over yet. After many hours of panicking I turn around it all the ninjas and bad guys are right in front of me!
A lady steps up to me and says "Surprise! It was all a joke!" She didn't say those exact words but she said something to that effect. And then I started laughing. The lady gave me my phone and I said something like "Fuck these! Hahaha" and threw my phone high in the air. The phone fell and shattered on the concrete city floor, yet it wasn't totally ruined, I saw that some of it was still in tact.
I then found myself in a moving car, looking at my phone and wondering why I threw it in the air, feeling really stupid about myself. My phone was still working, surprisingly. This is when I tell myself that everything felt like a dream. Everything was a dream, and once I realized that, I calmly woke up.
I didn't burst awake, or shake awake, I simply opened my eyes. And there you have it.
