Holy hell. This morning was a doozy. I don't know what triggered it or what it means. It was a little disjointed, but overall had a narrative/plot. It started out with a kind of "Planet of the Apes" vibe. Someone had taken over society and we were going to fight back. We broke into their armory/supply warehouse and started arming ourselves. For some reason there was some distinctive tool that should be a specific color (like DeWalt's yellow or Milwaukee Tool's red) that the overlords were responsible for, so we were looking for those but there really weren't any so I'd be like "Take one of these. It should be orange but it'll do." And everything had a kind of plastic toy feel to it, for the most part. I did get my hands on a real nice military folding shovel (entrenching tool).
Then as we're leaving the scene, some guy starts walking right up close to me--I mean practically touching me. So I'm turning and distancing myself and he gets humorous and indignant that he's one of "us" and that I didn't recognize him. There's also a bit of "we all look alike to you" guilt because he's black. Now I'm not always good at recognizing people IRL, so I just laughed and played it off with "Oh, yeah, you looked different with the hat" or whatever. But then he's back to the close-walking and I can tell he's trying to strip my weapons off me. About that time he grabs me and as I fight him the guy ahead of us turns to help him. They're both Bad Guys and the guy behind me is like "just get out your knife and stab him!" Luckily I my arm free and gave them each a couple good swings with the e-tool.
So then I made it back to my house (which of course was nothing like my actual house). It was wide open and I could hear people inside. Pretty soon they spotted me and started attacking. They were jumping off steps/balcony/second story window at me. At this point I had a pistol and unlike most dreams I have, it actually worked. But I didn't know what caliber it was or how many shots so I'm trying to balance putting enough lead into each attacker to stop them with having enough left over in case there's more. The first 2 got stopped with 4 shots each. Don't know if I killed them, but I ended the threat. I only had 2 shots for the 3rd guy. Then I could hear their female accomplice in the house. The last guy isn't as wounded as I'd like, but I don't have time to deal with him. The girl is freakishly tall--at least 6'--but I manage to get some kind of arm-bar or get her by the hair or something and I'm frog-walking her back to...whatever our rally point is to turn her over to...someone...for holding.
That's when I realize I don't have any pants. I don't want to go into my house because I'm out of ammo and managing a prisoner, so I stop over to a neighbor to see if I can borrow some pants. He's like "I was hoping you'd hurry up and ask" and starts rummaging for some suitable pants. While he's doing that, another neighbor whips out some camouflage rain pants. I'm about to take them when the first guy gets out a couple pairs of track pants to chose from and I'm trying to decide which one goes better with the Star Trek TOS cast movie maroon tunic I'm wearing. And that's when I wake up.
