Dreams: Cheap Entertainment

I promise not to make a habit of using this space for this reason, but this is too good to pass up.

I had a bizarre dream last night. I was inside, or so it appeared, a video game. If you know of the movie "Gamer" with Gerrard Butler, I haven't seen it, and I don't recommend it, but if you know the premise, you know what I am talking about. I was actually participating in the game, which was of the shooter variety. I was leading two girls, both of them unknown to me, through increasing changing environs. Jungle, urban areas, fields, the whole nine yards.

We eventually reached the end of the game, or map, or whatever, which was filled with cow pens. Still with me? Ok, so, apparently one of our enemy (aka, one of the other players) was patrolling one of the cow pens. The thought occurred to me that there was some sort of blade available in that cow pen, so, leaving my two female partners behind, I sneaked into the pen, grabbed the weapon and sliced one of the cow's throats. Why this was an important element of the game I don't know.

So, having accomplished that minor mission, John Cusack, yes, the actor John Cusack, randomly appeared in the game and told me, in no uncertain terms, that I needed to raise my situational awareness.

Then I woke up.
