Haha, you know, if it weren’t for these dreams I don’t think I’d blog at all.
So the dream starts of in the normal world. I’m just walking somewhere with my backpack, when all of a sudden I meet/see two superheroes. These superheroes aren’t like, actual comic book heroes, just some ones that I’ve made up. One of them wears a blue facemask, and the other one is like, a swirling 2-dimensional portal. All of a sudden, something starts to attack the Earth. At the moment, I can’t see what it is, but everything starts getting pulled up/sucked off the face of planet. It’s like the gravity got turned off.
The one with the blue mask comes and saves me, but the next series of events is a blur. The next thing I know, I’m on a red dusty landscape, and there’s a GARGANTUAN being floating in space over looking the planet. It’s like Galactacus over looking a planet or something, haha. The portal morphs into like, a ball of energy and flies off to fight the giant, and so does the blue mask guy. There are hundreds of thousands of superheroes fighting this thing, but because he’s so freaking huge they are like the size of ants to him. Meanwhile, I’m standing there watching, and there’s an old guy next to me. The old dude looks like this guy, except that he is wearing this guy’s clothes. It’s weird, I know, haha. I notice that he isn’t watching the battle, but instead his back is turned to the giant, and is looking at something else. I turn around to see what he’s looking at, and the sight is heartbreaking.
It’s the Earth, or should I say half of it, since it’s like, disintegrating bit by bit. I fall to my knees in shock, and the old guy explains that he may have been the one that trained the blue mask hero and the portal hero, he was just a human being like me. (Yeah, I don’t know how exactly he trained a portal, but whatever lol.) He was extremely frustrated that he could do nothing to stop what happened to the Earth nor could he join the fight against the giant being that did this. But then, a mysterious voice offers him the chance to save a different Earth, of a different time and space. I am about to warn him that he shouldn’t, but then a portal (not the portal hero) opens up and he immediately steps right through it. My mind is racing with different possibilities about what could have happened, when I notice little rocks and things being suck up, just like what happened on Earth. I turn around to see the battle still raging, but with significantly less heroes in the sky. I know that we’ve lost this battle, and the idea of a different Earth sounds pretty good to me at this point.
I poke my head through the portal and find that it wasn’t so much a different Earth of a different time and space as it was just farther into the future. Much farther. I am looking at a completely brown and cracked earth, with a dust ring around it. It’s a full sphere this time, but sitting on top if is the old man from before, only he has grown big enough to sit cross-legged on the Earth. But he too is petrified, and slowly disintegrating. He is missing half his head, and I can’t help but feel sadness that while now he would be strong/superhuman enough to fight that giant, it didn’t matter in the end.
The scene shifts back to that red dusty landscape, and the blue mask heroes and the portal hero are looking for their master. The portal hero lays flat on the floor, and begins to spin furiously, drilling into the surface of the landscape. The blue mask hero asks, “What are you doing?!” and the portal responds, “I’m looking for our master.” The blue mask responds, “Just stop, it would take too many Earth years to dig down anywhere. We need to focus on other things.” The portal stops, and there is in fact a hole left behind that is drill shaped. At this time, I call the attention of the two heroes. Remember that now we are in the far future, and that the portal I stepped through is already gone. The two escort me while I lead them back to the Earth, and they are totally traumatized by seeing their master in his state. Before anything else can happen, a voice calls tot he three of us, “Back away or you’ll get sucked in!” We turn to see a bunch of Green Lanturns, who are pointing in the general direction of the Earth. I turn again to see what they’re pointing at, and I see an ENOURMOUS planet, several thousand times the size of the Earth. I can also see that the particles from the decaying Earth are in fact being attraacted by the insane gravity of the molten planet. The planet is a moving ball of lava and rock, pulling in anything and everything it passes by.
The Green Lanturns fly past us and towards the planet, and the two heroes resolve to do whatever they can as pennance for not being able to repel the original giant monster. Of course though, sicne they are escorting me through the cold vaccuum of space, I have to go with them towards the planet. However, I end up getting caught in the planet’s gravitiational pull, and scream for help as I am violently dragged towards the ground. The Lanturns are protected from the pull and rush down to help me, warning blue mask and portal not to get anywhere closer or else they’d get pulled in too. One of the Lanturns shoots a green beam at me, and I am covered with a green aura, just before I hit the ground. The aura protects me from being crushed by the insane gravity, and I slowly get up to my feet.
The scene shifts to outer space again, and Wonder Woman has grabbed a number of people falling in towards the planet. She gets violently yanked by the gravity as well, but she flies directly onto an island where there is a giant Green Lanturn power battery. There is already a crowed of various people huddling in fear, but the power battery protects them from the lava and the gravity. From where I’m standing I can see the battery’s light start to wane. Wonder Woman looks defeat as she knows that the power battery won’t hold out forever, and the other Green Lanturns land on the same rock that I’m on, but we all know that they are too late to get the people and the battery off of the planet.
In frustration, I hold up my right arm, and make a fist with my hand. Even though I don’t have a power ring, I start yelling the Green Lanturn oath. “IN BRIGHTEST DAY,” everyone turns to look at me, but I ignore them and continue. “IN BLACKEST NIGHT,” my gaze is fixed on the power battery, but from my peripheral vision I can see that the other Lanturns have raised their rings too and started the oath. “NO EVIL SHALL ESCAPE MY SIGHT,” I continue, but I hear very different different things coming from the other Lanturns. At first I waver a bit thinking to let them lead and try to copy what one of them is saying, but then I remember that some Lanturns just have their own oath to recite, so I continue. “LET THOSE WHO WORSHIP EVIL’S MIGHT…” At this point, I am positive that no other Lanturn is reciting the same oath as I am, which is the original one. “BEWARE MY POWER, GREEN LANTURN’s LIGHT!”
The waning power battery suddenly charges up like insanely, and a bright, green light erupts from the battery and engulfs everything. The ground is covered with like, green flooring and stairways that connect different islands, and since the gravitiy has no effect on the green of the Green Lanturns, the day looks like it’s going to be saved. I notice then that I have a power ring, but I can also see huge chunks of the Earth raining down on the planet. It’s then decided to wrap the planet completely in Green Lanturn energy, to stop it’s insane gravity pull from destroying everything. While the Lanturns, Wonder Woman, Blue Mask, and Portal are all debating about the difficulties in covering something of this size, I wonder how far away we are from that red landscape. I remember that I left my backpack and on the landscape, and I am glad that my PSP is safe. But then I notice that my arm is still up, and I get pissed off at myself for thinking about such childish things while there are serious matters to tend to. To steel my resolve further, I decide to recite the oath one more time, but this time I notice that the other Lanturns are powering down their rings and that they are leaving it up to me to maintain the platforms and stairs that we made. I’m happy to take the responsibility knowing that while I’ll maintain the constructs, they will fly around and spread the constructs over the planet.
When I finish the oath, aother bright light engulfs everything, and the scene jumps to me inside of an office/cubicle like thing. I’m sitting as a desk, which is covered with blueprints that look like MC Escher drawings, and I’m busy pouring over books trying to find something. There are absolutely no signs at all of everything that happened earlier in the dream. Across from me is another person who is working too, and I ask him for advice about rebuilding a city or something. I think I called it Alderan, or something lol. I show him old physical maps and ask him where should we put Alderan. He points out a bay that he refers to as a “helmet shaped thing” and suggests putting it there. He suggests, to save time, we just use the already existing borders of the various countries to define the new country. He points to five small yet neighboring countries and suggests that we just fuse them together and put Alderan there.
I tell him that’s a good idea, and I look at him expecting him to do it. He looks at me with an expression that reads, you-aren’t-seriously-expecting-me-to-do-this-are-you? I reply, “Well it’s kinda hard maintaining the concept of indoors and outdoors.” As I say this, I lift my right hand from underneath the table to reveal that I’m still wearing a power ring. I make the ring shine a little, and EVERYTHING in the office shines green at the same time, revealing that it’s me that has created the walls, the windows, the desks, and everything. The guy chuckles with a face that says, “oh yeah” and takes the map from me, and I go back to looking at the blueprints on my desk, realizing that they are in fact maps of the platforms and stairs that I am holding all together.
Oh man, haha this dream was pretty damn crazy. As I’m going through it, I can see what things from real life that I’ve seen or done that my brain used for this dream. For example, Green Lanturns are my favorite superheroes, I play Magic the Gathering and Street Fighter, which inspired the old guy. Heck, even Braid, since the color green symbolized not being affected by the gravity. So what do you guys think of this one? : )
