I had a strange one last night, and it sits fairly vividly in my head. I'm fairly sure it's not pertinent to anything here in the waking world, but I remember these so rarely that I might as well share it. :x
I was walking along, dressed in fairly uncharacteristic gothy clothing -- black skinny jeans, a thin (somewhat tattered) hoodie, and my old black high-tops. Sometimes I felt like I had bat wings, too -- when suddenly I found myself conversing with a bunch of people about a rash of crimes -- and the exact numerical date on which the criminal would strike next. Suddenly, their suspicions turned to me and I was arrested. Following a short period of interrogation, my guilt was decided (without a trial, somehow,) and I was sent off to prison -- a dim yellow concrete ruin being invaded in places by plant life (mostly mildew.) I seemed to the the only one there. The ceilings were high and the roof dark.
The exact details of my escape are unknown to me, but I suddenly found myself on the landing of a large square spiral concrete staircase, still dimly illuminated with yellow. The stairs went both up and down, although they seemed to extend farther down than they did up. Sharing the landing was a girl I'm pretty sure I've never met (Asian, dressed in white with black pants.) We conversed (though what words were exchanged utterly escape me,) kissed for some reason (it was a casual thing, more a friend's kiss than anything else,) and I asked for her phone number (despite having just escaped a prison cell, I was calm, with no real sense of urgency.) She smiled and declined, and I started to walk down the stairs -- although I was heading deeper underground, I didn't feel like I was walking back into captivity. By this point, I think there were other people around, walking along with me. Some were descending, and some were heading up. It felt a little like the lines in an amusement park -- everyone walks along, utterly disinterested in anything but the end of the journey. The dream ended just as I was taking my first steps downward, with a few people who had come out of nowhere following or leading ahead. I saw the majority of the dream in the third person.
I'm kind of hoping I can continue the dream tonight. The prison and the staircase were kind of beautiful, in a corroded sort of way.
