I remember waking up in a large room, one side is open, facing the sea and night sky, there is a wooden walkway stretching around and above the building, providing access to the roof and other levels. The other half of the room is covered - the roof, walls and floors are all made of wooden planks, to the far right (the sea is to the left) there is a small area dedicated to operate as a sleeping quarters, and this is where i wake up from. Upon waking, i take into note all i just described, except for the objects in the centre of the room. In a circle there are Ten chairs. Small, wooden affairs, and in the centre an old-fashioned gas lamp hangs from the ceiling just above head-height. I walk over to the chairs, mystified by their purpose. Just before i reach the diameter of the circle, i stop, and turn. Behind me (now in front of me) stands a humanoid creature, with a skull shaped like a + sign, with eyes underneath the convergence point between the horizontal and vertical features. It's skin is reptilian, scaly, and yet i can see that there is a pink shade to it similar to that observed on more colorful lizards. The creature is also possessed of a mouth, with which it can speak. It informs me that if i open my mouth at any time during the proceedings, i will die. I understand this to mean the dream will end, as is usually the case when i wind up dead in my dreams. Next, small ships - little more than rowing boats - begin to arrive on the left/western side of the room, each of which bearing similar creatures and small retinues of guards. Each humanoid is seated, although the retinues remain upon their ships, and all the seats are filled except one - that of the host, he who threatened me to remain silent. The host is seated, and they begin to speak in a language i do not understand. Clearly, the nature of the discussion is an important one, judging from the body language of the humanoids - the fourth one anti-clockwise shows particular aggression and disapproval. I begin to lose interest in the discussion, being unable to divulge the meaning behind it, and investigate the guards waiting on the boats. Each guard is clothed in heavy armour, and armed with two-handed weapons of every variety - hammers, great swords, pole-arms, etc - and yet not a single one moves. The inkling occurs to me that, as powerful as these retinues may seem, they apparently obey their masters without question - to the point of utter obedience. Not one of them appears to notice me, apparently staring into space oblivious to what is occuring around them. At this point, i turn back to the humanoids whom are seated in the circle - the circle is possessed of a Four metre diameter, which i note with approval is ample room with which to react should one humanoid choose to attack another, and their seated postures make it difficult to attack the humanoid directly to the left or to the right. The humanoid i mentioned earlier, he who disapproved of the meeting, seems to be getting particularly riled up by what the host is saying, and i take it that perhaps the meaning is something that is of great importance to This group of Individuals, Possibly even that they are discussing their Future or their Past - If their past it would certainly explain the intensity emanating from that particular humanoid. Suddenly the host barks an exclaimation at this one, whether this is a threat or mockery i cannot be certain, but he certainly takes it badly - instantly the humanoid leaps from his seat and dives headlong towards the host, whom does something rather unexpected. Without moving from his seat, he simply raises his arms and a vortex (for lack of a better word) appears between himself and the aggressor, and a momentary expression of fear - that of a prey animal - passes through it's eyes. It's doom is inevitable, and it slips into the vortex. As soon as it had opened, it closes, and it is almost as if the aggressor was never even there. I remember standing there, shocked by this sudden display of power, and the realisation dawns on me that the host is staring directly at me again, and i realise my mouth is agape. At which point, i waken. Now, i know my dreams have a tendency to be self-fulfilling - only today i remember dreaming of being in the very room i did a communication role-play in, doing precisely what i did at that point in time. However, this dream seems rather surreal - i've never once dreamt of interaction with a non-human species other than this one time. If you like, give a rating as to how surreal it is, or how strange my imagination is if you prefer. Other than that, if someone can interpret this, i'll not only be grateful but also greatly impressed.... Read More »
