So I don’t know if this was the result of all the antihistamines, cough-suppressants, etc. I’ve been on the last two weeks, or where it came from, but I had one of the craziest dreams I’ve ever had last night:
So the world has been take over. Is it aliens or some other creature from another dimension? I don’t know. But the world is not right, and I am one of the few who has not been touched by their presence… I’m still ‘normal’. There are several of us, and we are constantly on the run.
At one point, I burst out of a huge shopping mall, where the people inside had recognized me. The world was aglow in red and gold. It was here that I first met up with the man who could absorb the powers of the "aliens", and use it against them. But he refused to help my friends and me. He would show up a couple more times in the dream, always refusing to help us. One of his ‘powers’ seemed to be tossing a wide pancake of some sort of film across the body of his victim, who would be frozen in place.
So there was a lot of chasing around (through malls and schools, as is always the case in my dreams), and during these chases I got to "know" my friends – and I fell in love with the woman that was with us.
Now apparently there was a curfew, because I found myself pretending to be asleep on a bed next to four other people. One of the aliens came by to check on us. After it left, I looked to my right to see who I was sleeping next to. It was a father and his son… but the son was actually a gorilla… a young gorilla with no legs. As I stared at him (the gorilla), he started to sprout a large tree trunk from his torso, and he rose up out of the bed. Apparently, his father wouldn’t let him grow the tree trunk, so he was doing it now that his father was asleep. Suddenly the father woke up and grabbed the gorilla and slammed him against the far wall. The tree trunk disappeared, and the father yelled at him, saying that that’s exactly what the aliens wanted us to do!
Anyway, we finally found who we (apparently) had been looking for. I don’t know how else to describe "him" other than to say he was very similar to a pterodactyl. The cool thing about this pterodactyl-guy was that he could turn back time. So we asked him to take the world back to the time before the aliens, so we could prevent it from happening. He did so.
Suddenly I was in the courtyard of the mall, but I was on the top of a large spiral staircase. The staircase was out in the open and lead nowhere – it was just stairs. Everything was still red and gold, but it was back to the normal world again. I had a hard time climbing down, so the pterodactyl guided me down.
When I got down, I found out that all of my friends that had been through this ordeal were having their memories erased! They were lining up for the pterodactyl to make them forget the terrible things that had happened! I ran over and begged the woman not to get erased, because she had fallen in love with me too… and I knew if she forgot everything I’d never get her back. I begged her to not do it, but she insisted. There was some kind of book in her hand, and it listed all the bad things that had happened to her, and she wanted them erased. I still pleaded with her, but she refused. Then the pterodactyl erased her memory, and I woke up.
And no, I wasn’t watching or reading anything even remotely similar to that before I went to bed!

WARNING: The consumption of alcohol may create the illusion that you are tougher,
smarter, faster and better looking than most people.
It was not a dream. Me and my people really are taking over. Soon, your pancakes will have no effect on us.
It is quite simple Mr. Kay. Perhaps this will help.
The world being taken over and you being one of the few who recognizes it represents the direction and speed mankind is moving. You see this and ultimately long for things to be the way you remember them. The mall (and school) is where you were comfortable growing up. Distasteful as it is now, it is where as a teen you went to cruise for chicks, watch movies, and show off your new Jordan's.
The pancake man is a close friend, possibly a relative who understands your struggle, but desires you to adjust to the changing times. Pancakes freezing aliens in place is synonymous with the way pancakes, and butter and syrup freeze the progression of weight loss. The world likes to check up on you and keep you in your place when it says you should be there, otherwise you would become a spectacle for being different. Hence the curfew.
The father and gorilla son, ok, the main point is not what they are, but it's that the son has no legs. You are familiar with a father son relationship in which the father decides what's best for the son, directing his goals and pursuits. In effect, removing his legs. In a last ditch effort, the son saw this trunk as an escape from his father's harsh hand. You see Ian, he HAD to grow the trunk to escape, he couldn't just walk out of the room. However, the father prevented his gorilla child from escape, once more, removing his legs.
The pterodactyl guy represents you Ian. Dinosaurs are primitive. Meaning they were around first. They know how things were to begin with. They suffered the first change or hostile takeover. You were able to bring your friends and your love back to the way you wanted them. You were back to where you were as a youth. In the mall.
The spiral staircase represents your trek through life that lay ahead. It is endless because your life has yet to be determined. The red and gold colors depict 2 things. Red is passion. Your passion for life is evident. Gold is wealth or richness. Depicting the success you enjoy from being alive. Erasing the memories of all involved including your love can only mean one thing. You want to prevent an uprising. Someone standing up and thinking rule under the aliens really was the right way to go. Therefore, you were preventing a revolt, even at the cost of your love.
If you'll excuse me, I need more cough suppressant. I too have been doped up on the stuff as well a chloreseptic spray.
Now, if anyone can explain to me why I dreamed a little woman named Large was living in my ear, please let me know.
