hyurihrm. had a weird dream this morning. okay, a while back I had this dream, I was in some sort of competition, massive endurance race/obstacle course kinda thing; really weird. anyway, I actually finished this dream: I washed out. I fucked something up and couldn't finish.
anyway, this time around I was back at the beginning of the course, but this time I didn't have all the equipment and shit I had last time. the feel of the air was different -- colder, more still -- dead air. so I recognize where I am, and start moving forward, climbing over and down and jury-rigging ways to pass the obstacles I encounter, until I finally hit the first "checkpoint". this is where things get really weird. instead of this platform I had to climb on and then make a flying leap onto another from, the second platform had a ladder leaning against it and the first was knocked over. and as I was trying to figure this out, a guy walks up and starts cleaning up; he seems quite surprised when he notices me.
anyway, he kinda explains things -- which is weird because I didn't pay much attention to him and I can't recall hearing a voice -- and apparently he was closing up shop beause nobody won the last run around -- and apparently nobody was supposed to be able to reach the course anymore. then he tells me to go ahead and open up the checkpoints -- don't worry about the posted and remembered rules from last time, nobody else will be claiming the contents.
so I climb up onto the platform, open this big ass (but I opened it one-handed while hanging off the edge of the platform with the other) vault door, and find this weird sliding panel inside with different controls and buttons and stuff. one panel is obviously out of place, with references to bible verses labeling buttons, and I know that I have to pick one of those four verses to get the correct "prize". unfortunately, I don't have a bible on me, so I hop down and go back to find a bible -- but I didn't start walking, all I did was wake up.
and then I couldn't remember what I woke up for -- something about a bible? nah, couldn't be. could it? -- and by the time I remembered I couldn't have fallen asleep no matter how bad I wanted to, so I just gave up and rolled out of bed. I can't help but think that that dream was important, and that I'll never have it again.
