From the Bizarre to the Mundane

So, here's last night's dream. Because history shows that y'all are amazingly interested in these things!

This one involved Sylvester Stallone as my love interest (please - is he not old enough to be my dad?!) and Sean Astin as his son. [And seriously, I just got his photo and...eew.] And I'm me. They're working at a mechanic shop when I show up. Sly is under a car and chatter with them and then throw my checkbook down by a pillar next to them. This woman immediately snatches it up. I get angry and start asking for it back but she's rifling through it to get my account information. I go to take it from her and she hands it off to this man. Sly gets it back with physical force hurting the man and the woman in the process. He ends up loading myself and his son up in a big van. I'm in the back up against the windows (the one by my head has a curtain) but my legs can be seen through the other window. I'm eating an apple. Paparazzi are following us and Sly tells me, "Don't wave at the cameras."

At some point too Sean asks Sly about getting remarried and having more family. Sly says, "Well, I know just who I want to have a baby girl with but she won't marry me."

So, we're travelling. The roads are very hilly and have obstacles (mud pits) almost like a BMX track for cars. You also have the option at one point of leaving the roads and driving in the air. We stayed on the ground.

We drove next to this little old lady (Betty White?) with a boxed walker in the back. Somehow we know that this is the mean woman-who-took-my-checkbook's mom. Sly feels bad that the girl now needs a walker. And is touched by the fact that she has a mother who's willing to buy one for her and take care of her.

We come to a widening in the round (a big round spot, like a cul-de-sac but it has a road in and out). Suddenly, we're surrounded my cars. Men with guns come piling out. Betty gets killed and I get taken hostage and we're outta there.

Of course Sly comes to get me! He's just a step or two behind the kidnappers. He ends up killing a bunch of them (shooting them). For some reason Sean is now dressed as Spiderman but it's clear that it's just a costume. (If I were really talented, I'd photoshop a costume onto the boy above but I'm have no idea how.)

Then a bunch of kids come through, all dressed as Spiderman. Sly has been and gone looking for me and there's all these dead bodies. The kids enter, all ready to fight, only to find just dead bodies. Somehow I'm there too and my kids are because I keep covering up their eyes and wondering why I'm allowing them to watch this movie.

Then Quinn woke me up crying because Jenny scratched him.

I think I prefer the mundane reality.

(Then again, maybe if I had another male lead and a story line that didn't involve quite so much killing....)
