I guess I had an insane birthday dream this morning. Today is my birthday. =)
I hadn't been getting more than 4 hours of sleep the past couple of nights, usually going to bed around 2-3am and getting up at 7am. Last night, I played around on my computer till 9pm, looked at my bed, and jumped in. I needed it. After about 4 hours of sleep, I wake up, feeling really alert. I guess I had just trained myself to get up after 4 hours or something. When 2am rolls around and I'm still laying there, I realized I wasn't falling asleep anytime soon. So I got up, played on my computer, played a bit of WOW, listened to some music, checked the news, etc. I didn't start to feel drowsy again until around 5am. I knew I had to be up by 7am, but I said screw it and laid back down.
Fell right asleep.
All I remember is waking up, feeling drugged, standing at the edge of a new subdivision. But things were hazy, and I couldn't think straight, and I remember stumbling towards what I thought was my house. I seriously thought in the dream that I had sleepwalked outside and was just walking back home. So I get into the house, start walking around, and as things start to clear up, I realize I'm not in my house. It's a very unfamiliar place. I look around for an exit, and I eventually find one, out through the basement, but as I'm nearing it, I hear a buzz saw start up. I'm like screw that this doesn't need to get all SAW on me so I'm going to head back up stairs and jump through a window if I have to. I don't recall exactly how I got out of the house, but I know once I got out, I started walking down a very unfamiliar street.
I got to an intersection, and saw a car with people in it about a block away. By this time, I was feeling more clear. The dream was very vivid and I thought I was completely awake at the time, only wondering if it was a dream or not because the scenario seemed strange. SO I approach the car, and start to realize the people don't look to friendly. It was all guys, and they looked like pissed off frat boys or pissed of fresh out of college business boys. As I get closer, I hear "It's him, he's here, get him!"
So obviously I'm thinking "fuck that, i need to run" so I did and I tore ass through a couple yards (I ran a 4.8 40yard dash in high school), so I can usually run with confidence that most people can't catch me or those that can have to give it their all to catch me. So I just go, and don't look back.
So I come across another car with two black ladies, and they look like sweet old ladies. So I stop them and say I don't know where I'm at and I'm being chased. Please take me to a police station and call 911 now, because I'm positive I've been drugged and taken somewhere unfamiliar.
So they agree and drive off just as the guys are catching up. I get on the phone with the cops, explain what I've experienced in detail, that I feel drugged, I'm being pursued by people that seemed to have been waiting for me, and that I have no foul intentions other than to just get home safely. So they ask me to head to town and at the point I ask, "where exactly am I"..
You're in Memphis kid. Tenessee.
I'm from St. Louis.
Wtf am I doing in memphis? I was so awake in the dream that I remember trying to figure out how I got there, actually trying to do the math, recall what happened, etc. So while still on the phone they tell me that I should meet a cop at a public place, at some bar. At this point I'm realizing it wasn't early morning, it was early evening. We get into memphis and its a busy town. So the ladies drop me off at the place the cops told me to meet me at, and I'm cool with it, because it's public, there's people around and I didn't feel so drugged anymore.
So I go into this bar, and I see the guys who were chasing me. But they had me surrounded. They confront me, but act less hostile this time. One guy steps forward and introduces himself, says he's the head of some secret organization for hacking and network security or some crap. He goes on about this ordeal and that he heard about my work for the Governement of Pakistan during the Iraq war (true stuff) and that they decided I was an integral part of their organization. They had to drug me to get me from my home and life to meet them. And that the whole, waking up at the end of a street, finding the car of guys, running, the black ladies, etc. was all a setup to prove their power and organization, etc. He then laughs and said "breaking into someone's home because you thought it was yours and just wanted to go back to sleep" wasn't part of the plan though.
So I freak out, mostly because I already have a job and life that I like and I was far from home. Then I realized I was supposed to meet my new girlfriend Jessica for dinner in an hour (in st. louis) and it was our first time actually going out somewhere nice, it was my birthday, and since I couldn't contact her, it would look like I was going to stand her up. That made me violent, so I somehow managed to sucker punch like 15 guys in 1 second, screaming if you fuck things up with that girl, I'll kill you all!!!! and in that rage, I woke up.
no more than 15 seconds later, my alarm clock went off.
