Post local apocalyptic surviving in an abandoned church-like structure.The entrance, which had symbolically never closed, was difficult to close.

Solo & Ensemble to the Death

Dreamed on 2019.03.31 The totalitarian powers that be are keeping us in cells; musicians pair up with each other to compete; the winner moves on, the loser is killed (or at least, taken away and not seen again). Each time you have the option to keep the same instrument or change to a random new instrument. I'm not a musician; I'm one of the team that helps prep the musicians before their competitions and listens to them practice. One of the people in my room is my friend, who is performing on oboe, the instrument he studied. After he finishes practicing, a girl comes in on cello. It's also her instrument, but her arms are shaking and she can't get a consistent tone/pitch. "You've got this," I say, secretly and guiltily proud that my friend will probably win. She breaks into tears and the three of us hug her. She mumbles something angry that I don't hear, and I struggle to figure out how to word some sort of "things will be better after this, o...

Second Chances

Dreamed on 2017.07.21.0424 Some anarchist/terrorist guy attacks the grocery store I work in and tries to escape, but I slow down my perception of time and take off after him. I'm in something like a Goliath from StarCraft, but the top section is capable of flight, which I use. I track him as he leaves the store, then send a barrage of missiles and bullets. He fires back with machine gun like things. We take it out into the parking lot and continue firing with no one taking any damage and the rockets just falling around him on the ground without exploding. Eventually I just get point blank and we're both shooting each other and the bullets aren't doing anything, as if it's a laggy computer game or something. So I suggest dude just leaves and goes home and doesn't come back. Like, ever. Please. And his wife agrees with this very happily and so he agrees to too. After I think they leave, I realize I should pick up all the rockets in case ammunition starts working aga...

spooncall letdown

Dreamed on 2015.09.13.1031 Equivalent of a phone call, but using spoons. I know, but go with me on this. Obviously set in the future, though socially my high school years. We couldn't meet in person today, for reasons, but I'm holding two spoon-like objects, one of which includes her hologram, sitting with legs hooked over the edge and looking around. We're trying to get somewhere and I know it's important I keep the spoon balanced, but we're in a hurry and I have good balance, so I run and jump with several carefully placed steps across a river sort of thing in the downtown area. When I sat on the other side, she wasn't in the spoon anymore. "Hello?" I asked. "Yes?" she responded. She must have climbed out of the seat that allowed you to be projected but left the device operational so we could still talk. "Sorry, did I get you too close to the water on that?" She hesitates then, unrelated to anything we've been talking abou...
