Viggo Mortensen stars in....
Oct. 3rd, 2005 07:23 amI had an unusually coherent (sorta) dream last night.
A group of people were being constantly moved around by bus, rootless, unwanted and refused by anyplace they tried to stop. So the bus kept on going. Biggo Mortensen was the driver of this bus and was getting as frustrated as the riders, since he wasn't allowed to go home until they had found one of their own.
Then things got hallucinatory. The land they traveled through became barren and lifeless as the sky become cold and clear. Then the ground and sky started to change colors. The land turned mint green, the sky pink; blood red and brown; neon yellow and black; sky blue and gold; etc. The road turned and remained pitch black, like a swath of nothingness laid across the land, twisting and turning through hills and valleys in an endless mandate to journey.
The vehicle began to change as well, taking on aspects of a riverboat and a 747 and a submersible and a truck as it adapted to the terrain. All the people faded into invisibility, leaving their voices to remind the world that they remained, guiding their driver through the lands of desolation and madness. Until.
The road ended at the edge of a cliff, where the world returned to itself, green and blue and stony grey. And those who were not allowed to settle and rest became themselves again, sitting at the edge of the sliff, staring down into the world. And so did the people of the world look up at them, wondering and worrying.
Then the roads down were hacked from the stone and the people were brought down into homes of their own, and the driver was released from his task and went home.

My uncles were part of the dream too, part of the people of the world. And when the movie ended and I returned to my regularly scheduled dream, I joked with my family that although I couldn't remember the movie's name, it would be the only one that I would find if I Googled "Viggo Mortensen" and "Larry Stanley" together.

Before I knew it, I was playing with it in my hands, except now it was sort of like a softer version of that eraser material that's a cross between eraser and Silly Putty. Now it was huge, and blue, and I was just idly playing with it while doing ... something. I can't remember exactly what.
Later on, I was in a room from a movie. Not a specific movie, just one of those rooms that's kind of from a horror movie. An old house, a room that used to be almost like a greenhouse, but not quite, and is now kind of overrun by random plants, and rather wet. And Victor Garber is there... That's right, the actor who plays Jennifer Garner's character's father in Alias. We spoke both in-game and out-of-game about the Omnifam ARG, and I think he was basically encouraging me to stick with it. Oh, and his hair was darker (not grey - as if the grey is for TV only). I ask for a picture with him since he's awesome, and for whatever reason he walks away with my camera. He brings it back, but it's got some random gunk on there, dried and moldy (like the camera had been half-rotting in the room for a long time). The camera didn't work. I was annoyed, but still happy I met him.
This is on par with most of my dreams. Completely random and strange. I love it.
