He Has a Dream

Transcription of the dream of a friend.

I was underground, in the basement of a Nikolaus-house. It was very dark, like a dungeon. All of us were there. There were many shelves, all covered with bottled water. Nearby, there was a mountain of empty water bottles. The Nikolaus-father was talking to us, telling me that I should try tap water, except that it had too many minerals.

Then I was on a TV show - one that I watch often, featuring a host who travels around the world. Except that now I was the host. I was in a cave, in Taiwan. Except that the cave was a house. The only way in was a really narrow tunnel, that you had to crawl through. In the tunnel was a shrine. There was a man there, polishing it.

Then it was real life again, except that I was a foreign exchange student, checking out a dormitory-house. I was in the foyer, and there were other people there, two girls and a guy. One of the girls reminded me of one I knew, except that she was Taiwanese, not Japanese.

We went into a dorm room. I tried to turn on the light, because it was dark, and there was only one window, but I couldn't find the right light switch - there were many! The other guy turned on the light. Then I wanted to open the window, because it was hot.

I started talking with the girl, trying to flirt with her. She spoke with a French accent - she had grown up on an island south of France. She had come to Taiwan because of "matters of the heart", she told me - involving a Taiwanese guy who himself had lived in Spain. Oddly, as I spoke, I was simultaneously IMing with the girl on Adium - speech bubbles popped up as we spoke.

Then I woke up!

Possible endings for this dream:

- The Korean army invades, singing K-pop hits. I am enlisted into the navy to fight.

- I realize that I'm actually on my computer, and decide to play World of Warcraft instead.

- I flirt with the girl and woo her away from her love.

Ordered by probability.

Hooray!
