I dunno why, but my dreams are generally fairly vivid, the one I had last night was just insane though!
In my dream a load of boring random things happened and then I went to bed. I woke up to banging at the front door, people were rioting in the streets and trying to get in. I was somehow with my family who were screaming at me to lock the door, which I did, but the lock didn't work and they managed to crash through. I attempted to hold them back, which I was doing, until one of them pulled a gun. We all froze. The thing was, it was an older guy, his daughter and her son, who couldn't have been older than six and was doing his best to beat the shit out of everyone. The older guy was waving his gun in our faces and they were both showing off bullets and screaming at us. They wanted to know everything about us, see proof of ID, our passports and whether or not we were actually Irish and supposed to be there. I thought that there must some ulterior motive going on but when someone is screaming and waving guns in your face, you're not going to think about it for long. All I kept doing was, stupidly, crying and exclaiming over them waving a gun around when there was a child there who could get hurt. When they were satisfied with us they returned to the riot and moved on. I went outside and hunted around a bit, I was looking for the purple Ka that my mother had bought me earlier on in the dream. I was doing a bit of parkour and discovered loads of graffiti very high up, all interlaced and hard to make out, but after trying for a while it turned out that the riot was actually part of the Che Guevara anniversary that I'd seen posters for in the streets earlier this week. The breaking into homes and invading your privacy was a statement for how the government is being run and where it's headed, a statement that this could become a routine thing.. Odd to say the least, probably completely incorrect as I don't know what Che stood for or anything, but this is what I see the world coming to.
I also found a bright shiny ring just sitting on the balcony of a pub whilst searching for the car, I swear I heard Zelda music in my head when I picked it up...definitely been playing too much Zelda...too much, or not enough :)
