I had a very strange dream last night. It was very Aliasy. Sydney was in a white hospital gown, which turned into a white nurse uniform, which turned into a wedding dress. Or maybe it was just the nurse uniform and a veil on her head. And it wasn't like hospital gown, whoosh, nurse uniform, whoosh, wedding dress. I just remember her in those three different things. When she was wearing the hospital gown, she was on a hospital bed/gurney, then there another bit where she was talking to Vaughn while wearing a nurse outfit, then there was another bit where she was wearing a wedding dress and standing in front of Vaughn. And I don't think she was marrying Vaughn, because I remember when they were standing there I thought to myself wistfully that it looked like she was getting married to him. And he was in an army uniform the whole way through. Atleast that I have a reason for that - I think Vaughn looks incredibly sexy in fatigues. And I think Jack was there, and I think some part of the dream was that Jack and Vaughn were rescuing Sydney from the hospital. That was when she was wearing the hospital gown. And there were guards all around her, and I remember vaguely that I helped to distract them. Or maybe Vaughn distracted them. It's getting fuzzy. Anyway. And there were people I knew from real life. Indians. The Indians from school whom I really don't like, like Janani and Smriti and, for some reason, Ramya Jaidev. Except Smriti was all chummy with my brother, who was also in the dream. I felt rather betrayed by that. I can't remember if the Indians part of the dream and the Alias part of the dream were together, but both seemed to take place in some building which was at times like a hotel and at times like a ruined shell in the middle of war-torn nowhere. But the bit where Sydney was standing in front of Vaughn in a nurse uniform and then in a wedding dress, seemed to take place in a ship. And it was somehow very exciting. There were a lot of men in army fatigues. And there was this bit where a lot of people were standing in a big empty room which I recall as being carpeted in this ugly reddish purplish colour. And then this high-ranking army officer came in. He was one of those horrible slimy types, like Jack Nicholson's character in A Few Good Men. In fact maybe it was Jack Nicholson. And apparently there was a rule that when a high-ranking officer comes in, the lower-rankers have to take off their hats and put them on the floor. And when Vaughn came into the room and saw Jack Nicholson, he took off his hat and threw it like a frisbee and it landed on the floor in front of Jack Nicholson's feet. It was somehow a gesture of disdain, because everyone hated Jack Nicholson but Vaughn was the only one who dared to show it. And I found it all very very sexy, and there was some other girl there whom I squeed to, only I can't remember who it was. I think it was one of the ICS types, hardly someone I've ever been close to. Weird.

My brother tells me I was laughing in my sleep, because he came in while I was still sleeping to use my computer. I must have been laughing at Vaughn or something. All in all a rather nice dream. But there was a lot more action to it than it seems. It felt very busy, but I can't for the hell of me recall what we were so busy doing. There was a lot of running around and stuff. And, man, it just occurred to me to ask my brother, because he was there. And then I remembered it was a dream, and people don't share dreams. Which reminds me of the first ep of Buffy season 6.. Willow and Tara. My mind is a weird weird place.

I've been having these weird busy dreams of late, like on Saturday before Daph called I was dreaming of some place which was like India but not like any place I've ever been to in India. And we were in a very un-Indian house which was a bit like my grandmother's in terms of structure but was painted and furnished very differently. It had large windows which had to be closed because there were a lot of bats. And then somewhere along the way some great danger appeared, though I can't remember what it was. And then I remember going down in the lift hurriedly, and though we were originally on the 31st floor, on the way down the lift was saying that we were at the 33rd floor. And I think there were only 31 floors.. something which must have something to do with the fact that the other day we had tea at the lounge at the top of the Conrad Centennial, which is on the 31st floor which is the topmost floor. Anyway, then we were outside and it was no longer the same place, in fact it was like a park in Singapore, and my grandmother was there, and we were running away from orcs! I think the bats turned into orcs or something. And I think we may have been running away from the bats-turned-orcs in the building as well. And I was lamenting to my grandma that I had left my bag behind in the house, but she said not to worry because orcs don't care about money. But I had other stuff in my bag besides money. Then I realised my wallet was with me, but I had taken the important things like my IC and money out of my wallet and put it in the bag. So I was all worried about the cost of replacing an IC and a handphone and how my dad would scold me. (Subconscious fears of losing my stuff?)

I think I'll keep a dream diary like Susie in Come Again. Or, attempt to, like she does. She is unable to keep it properly because she keeps going home with men and waking up in weird places and, I assume, forgetting her dreams by the time she gets home. I probably won't keep a diary properly because I plain wouldn't be bothered. Anyhow, I have to go bathe.
