no options

December 27th, 2013

I dreampt I saw two girls that are eating ice cream for dessert with peanut butter when they hear yelling they say it’s in Bulgarian. They look to a window where a truck is parked among farm fields and a line of men is being unloaded. The men have green drab uniforms and backpacks with bedrolls on top. And they are here to be killed maybe shot. One man in line begins to cry he looks back at the leader who I know is the cruelest. The leader says if the man can reach the next field they will let him live the man says thank you. The man thinks all he has to do is run fast and he will reach the other side. He reaches for the fence to climb over he feels the sting of the electricity and knows then that he will die anyway. He knows he will stay trapped on that fence until the electricity kills him or that the leader will shoot him if he is able to get free. Then I just sort of snap awake.

Star Wars Librarian

*I had this dream in two parts, separated by several days. 

I dreampt that Luke Skywalker was on a ravaged planet and that everyone had to leave due to constant attack.  Luke met a librarian (who was dressed like the Priors from Star Gate SG1) on the planet who kept all of that world's knowledge in himself. He was not able to escape.  He insisted on making sure everyone else got away.  He gave Luke the knowledge of the library.  He was supposed to put the knowledge in Luke's mind but somehow he didn't upload it properly.  Luke flew away with the last of the refugees and was fine for a while.  About a week later he began to get sick.  He seemed distracted and forgetful.  It was revealed that the information should have been safely stored in areas of the brain that humans do not usually access so it wouldn't have made a difference to his other functions.  Instead, the information was roaming his entire body, overwriting systems and taking over both his body and mind like new programming. Eventually, the library would take over his either gaining full control as a new sentient life form or putting Luke in a coma. They had to contact another librarian but they really need just one librarian.  They needed a man called Lantern.  He came to the ship through space and entered the airlock with no suit.  He was an Asian man of age indeterminate who seemed both older than he appeared but also very strong and in no way tired from his trip. There was a sense his appearance had changed over the years as if shadows of his other looks were lightly overlayed on his most current appearance.  It was clear he had once had very long hair. He also had a shadow of facial hair mostly about his jawline.  The man was named Lantern. (yes I realized that its racist to use a word associated with many Asian festivals and traditions, in my dreaming mind Lantern was used to represent how he was able to guide people with knowledge and also this was a dream not an intentional slight).  Lantern was able to use the force to help the knowledge in Luke coalesce in his abdomen. As the information was gathered it was visible running along his limbs and as more information was collected the light seemed to rise from deeper inside his body like seeing a submarine surface at night. Lantern was able to retrieve all the knowledge simply absorbing it through his hands.   After he left with the library, Luke returned to normal.
