Okay so I thought the dream I had the day before yesterday was awesome because it involved GACKT... but the dream I had last night just totally blew that one out of the water in terms of epicness!
To start, the dream I had day before yesterday involved myself and some friends going to a resort spa with GACKT. There we discovered some poor little boy who was unconscious outside in the snow. We took him inside and he eventually woke up but had no memory of who he was or how he got there. This, of course, was inconvenient because suddenly there were soldiers breaking into the resort all looking for this little kid. Somehow we were able to hide him and at that point everything was okay because yeah, the kid still couldn't remember who he was or anything but GACKT agreed to adopt the kid in order to keep him safe.
I'm going to add in here for posterity that at one point... I was relaxing with GACKT all cuddly like. Mmmm... fangirl dream come true right there I tell you.
To be honest, I think this dream was a manifestation of an on-going RP plot that Kaiko came up with, wherein her musician character Shou adopts this boy named Ko in order to protect him. I think the RP just merged with my love of GACKT and my love of onsen and just turned into one crazy dream.
But the dream last night... it's gonna get violent here, let me warn you...
OKAY! GO!
So picture a futuristic military school. Keep in mind that I'm like an observer over the shoulder of the main people for this dream. You've got a group of guys who are partnered off into pairs in order to run through a training exercise. Or at least what they thought was a training exercise. Turned out... it was a sudden first wave of alien invasion (and when I say alien I mean like "Alien" aliens only their heads weren't THAT big, nor were their bodies, but they had tremendous destructive power). The main character is actually... Graham Acker from "Kidou Senshi Gundam 00" except a real-life version of him and not an anime version. He and his partner are going through this apartment complex where the "training" is taking place. Every once in a while they hear the sound of gunfire or a scream or an alien howl, but for their part they haven't seen anything yet. After a few moments they spy around a corner, one of their comrades getting literally torn apart alive by this alien and so, naturally, both men are completely freaked out. They decide to try and come around to take the alien from behind but another alien spots them and this wicked tail goes lashing out, snapping around Acker's partner's waist and hauling the man into the air then repeatedly slamming him into a wall until he actually goes through the wall. Acker takes the opportunity to shot the alien, which killed it, except that he was shooting it while it was falling through the wall and thus it crashed to the ground far below, killing both the alien and his partner. Other aliens descend on the carnage and start ripping both soldier and alien apart and Acker takes the chance to just get rid of the whole lot of them by tossing some grenades down, blowing the aliens all to bits.
Then, my dream flashed forward to another group of soldiers, all young like Acker had been, going through a similar exercise. Except it turned out that the aliens in this exercise were holograms and the soldier cadets were using some sort of sensor bullet to "kill" them. The first group back to the base is the new main character, who has an extra sensory sixth sense and his partner who is rather bookish. At the base is Graham, who had been watching the training exercise on some tv's via camera feed. Confronted by the pair, the extra sensory one being Acker's deceased partner's younger brother, the bookish one is appalled at how Graham can sit there and watch a reenactment of the very invasion which had claimed his friend's brother, and Acker's partner's, life. Graham confesses that even though they run this simulation with every group of cadets who enter their academy, very few make it through the course to actually join. He tells them that a days doesn't go by that he doesn't remember his deceased partner and best friend, and that if he had done something differently, his friend might still be alive. The bookish cadet tells him that from the reports given, there was no possible way for Acker's partner to have survived, because the only soldier to have come out of that skirmish alive in the end had been Graham himself. The two cadets are told to meet at their new assigned dormitory in two hours, leaving Acker alone with his self-condemning thoughts (yeah, Graham cried... that... was just weird...).
Back at the new dorm, the extra-sensory cadet stood there in front of a bed just staring at it. The bed was assigned to him specifically, but he refuses to use it. Going downstairs he asks Graham if he could sleep anywhere else, even the floor. Acker asks why this is so important and the cadet tells him that the bunk was cursed. It was the same bunk his brother had occupied prior to his death and he could feel the death roll off it in waves. Graham agrees to let him sleep elsewhere and they find a sofa in the common area that can fold out into a bed.
Everyone had just bedded down for the night in the dorm, when an alarm began to ring. Acker receives a call that this isn't a drill and that the invasion they had been training men to defend against had occurred again. Rallying the cadets, Graham dashes downstairs, putting on his uniform, when....
I woke up.
Why did I wake up?
Because Guenhwyvar needed to go outside and go to the bathroom... -sigh-
It was such an epic dream full of dialogue that I don't remember but I feel was there and a background score of music. There were intricate relationships between the characters and murderous aliens and Graham!!!
To be clear, Graham Acker is awesome... Mister Bushido is NOT awesome... just for the record.
Anyway... epic dream... I wish I could have finished it... -sigh-
