So, this morning I had a crazy, EPIC dream. It played out like a movie, and I woke up both scared out of my wits, and astounded.
In the dream, there were several different characters~ None of them knew each other, and I guess it all started playing out like Heros, in that they were all main characters, but completely unrelated throughout the entire dream. First there was a man who was on vacation with his family. He was a technology developer of some kind (what kind exactly was revealed later on) and he was given a vacation, since his research and development team had just completed something revolutionary. He took his wife and daughter to their favorite beach, where they spent the day relaxing.
Next there was a business man, who was off work for the weekend. He had five (or six?) children, all adopted, and all around the ages of 4 to 6. With him was a nurse maid who was in charge of taking care of all these kids. The father, the nurse, and the kids were all out having a stroll through downtown New York, on their way to the zoo.
There were a few other scenes like this~ A girl drawing, I think, and some other stuff. I forget most of the other people I saw, but they seemed a little less important somehow. *shrug*
And then, worldwide, there's a flash of white light, which starts in the sky and expands outwards. Almost instantly, the climate everywhere becomes warmer, as though the entire world suddenly hit the middle of a hot summer. The temperature keeps rising, and the light gets bigger and brighter, and soon it was coming down towards the ground.
Then there's the man with his five kids again. (My brain gives me the number five, but I know I counted six...) Some of the kids are fighting with each other, and one of them get hit on the head. He starts crying, and the father tells the nurse that she's allowed to comfort him. The nurse (who's the same, but also suddenly a pink android programmed for child care) is honored that she's allowed to hold her owner's son, and picks the boy up carefully. He back suddenly feels hot, and so she turns to look...
On top of a building is a person, who watches, confused and scared, as the white light and the heat rush towards him. The light gets closer, and suddenly everything inside him screams "dangerous!!" He takes a step backwards, but before he cam run, the light is all over him, and he feels, for just a second or two, the most unbearably painful heat, incinerating him. He feels himself turning instantly to dust.
The man, who's with his family on the beach, sees the light, and feels the temperature change, and tells his family to run, not walk, RUN! to the cave across the beach.
The nurse turns, holding the business man's son, and the whiteness covers them, and the other children, and the man, and all the people around them. There's that complete and incomprehensible heat again, and the nurse watches as the son's skin turn to ash in her arms. As for her, she's metallic, and her body gets so hot that it begins to boil.
Ther father, his wife, and his daughter are running as fast as they can along the beach, to the cave. All around the the air is too hot to stand, and even inside the cave it's warm. they rush to the back, and the light follows them. Then (for some reason) water fills the cave and washes the family further into the back, then into a cavern off to the side. The cavern has a hole in the top, and the three are forced through it, into another, smaller cavern. There, there's a hole which leads to the outside, but just as they swim up to take a breath of air, that whiteness comes and they have to duck back down. Even the water they're in feel like it's going to boil, and they have two swim even further down to keep from being killed.
After it's over, the father looks out the hole and tell his family that he's going to go out and look around. He climbs out of the cavern and tells his wife and daughter to stay put. After he's out, he peers up into the sky and mumbles, "I don't see it...where's the technology?" (Apparently he's referring to whatever caused the light, and that's the name it was given....? Crap if I know.) Then the three of them hear this high ear-piercing keen, and there's an explosion. Everything that was untouched by the light before, was then blown away by the largest bomb ever created. The father is thrown backwards from the blast, then torn apart by debris, and incinerated. After THAT'S over, the wife and daughter climb out~ Everything is covered in white ash, and the whole landscape is flat and empty. Off in the distance is a massive crater where the explosion came from, surrounded by a chain-link fence which was somehow still standing. There were even trees around that seemed untouched~ Eventually new reporters and the FIB showed up (don't ask where they came from... I don't know how they were still alive, or why they felt the need to bother with new after something like that happened @___@; ) and...then if just got weird. Some news lady was saying they had to gather food, and then everyone went over to the fence. During the blast, birds had been knocked from the trees and blown into the chain-link. Their feather were burn off, and their bodies were practically cooked, and so people starred prying then off of the fence and putting them in buckets. But they were super crispy. Like potato chip crispy.
Then the daughter recognized the place they were at, and realized that the crater was where her father used to work. Suddenly she knew that is was him who had developed the 'technology' that had just decimated practically the entire human population, and that was the secret thing he had been working so hard on. (and almost all the other flora and fauna as well)
Then I woke up, pretty wigged out, and my half-awake brain told me that I had just seen the future, and that it had been a possible WWIII. Then I decided that the part with the crispy birds was both disturbing, and stupid. Then I made some tea, because I still don't have any coffee. :( The end~


In other news, I found out that if I write down the dream I have, I'm more likely to have more that I can actually remember. Yay! :D
I'm trying to make Kata watch Gundam Wing, but I realize that her fandom for it won't be the same as mine, because she didn't grow up with it. *sad* Still...I'm determined to get her to the point where she'll at least be able to understand me when I say things like, "So I was reading this 1x5 fic the other day, but suddenly it turned into a 13x5, and I got really angry."
Referring to GW pairings by their numbers usually sounds like code to someone who's not familiar with the show. It's sort of like says MonoclexCigarette, or CoffexEyesocket to someone who's never seen Mushishi or D.gray.
Or StrawberriesxSewingNeedles to someone who's never seen Bleach.

I really don't like 13x5. >:\ GOSH.

So. I've been reading Blade of the Immortal lately, and love it. I wish I could draw like that~ T___T I hear they might be making it into an anime, and possibly a live-action. o__o Now, why didn't they think of that sooner? >:O
Also been reading Uzumaki, to get me in that horror mood. |3 Such an awful, awesome manga~

I DREW STUFF! AND STOLE KATA'S SCANNER!! ART DUMP IN MERE MOMENTS, YO!
