... and it was terrifying.
I think it started in what I assumed was my school cafeteria, but looking back on it it was more of a factory and I was fully aware that I was on Oddworld. The cafeteria was hallway-shaped, making the distance between the serving area and the sitting tables ridiculously and around a corner. At the end of the hallway (the end closest to me) was a GIGANTIC door, and lining the sides of the hallway, facing the door, were canons which I assumed to belong to Sligs.
I was talking to the lunch ladies and we somehow got to the topic of Slig firepower and how much damage those canons could do. I didn't doubt they were powerful, but I wanted to see it. Some Sligs got on the canons (Mudokons manned a few too) and they opened the door to start firing. Notice that this is kind of senseless (they'd just be hitting eachother or something, but somehow they didn't) but that's the subconscious for you.
I don't know how or why, but I got the idea to take a bunch of Mudokons and Sligs with me and escape in all of this commotion (in my dream, some Sligs wanted to escape too?) and took a spoon with me. I looked back beyond where the canons started and a group of Sligs was already glaring at me. Suddenly the entire MMOSG regulars group was with me (in their dream form: Munches was a Slig, Max was a Gabbit, etc.) and we started running out the large, open door. We ran for a short while before running across this bridge (of metal or stone) and coming to another large door. It wouldnt open, so we were trapped in front of it.
This is where things got scary. Maybe it doesn't sound like a scary situation but in the dream I was fucking terrified. Sligs started shooting canon balls from the roof of the building we had just run out of and we were sitting ducks. I still had the spoon. It was a large spoon, I don't know why I was still holding it and I thought 'wow, this is just useless.' I tried to hold it in front of me to shield myself, as nonsensical as that was, looking back.
I leaned down and said to everyone as quietly as I could, "does anyone have a gun?" to keep any Sligs from hearing, but apparently one did. A military vehicle drove up, a loudspeaker shouting: "Why do you need a gun? I'm the one that needs a gun, haha!" something like that. I figured we were dead.
But when the truck pulled up an army guy stepped out (and not a Slig). We were saved. The firing stopped and I woke up.
Sorry for the tl;dr, but there you have it. I find it weird how in dreams about series I fan over have, the characters are(appropriately) trying to kill me. In every dream I have had with Walter Sullivan, the fictional Silent Hill serial killer I'm intrusively cuddling in my blog avatar, he was trying to kill me.
There's probably been a topic somewhere on the forum about this, but does anyone else have any Oddworld dreams to share?
Stay odd
