-A couple of nights ago, I had a dream. I was about to do something mundane that i have to do in the real world; vacuum the floors. However, in the dream, I psych myself up. "Those assholes in grade school used to insult me. 'Video game music isn't real music!' 'Eminem is more of an artist than Nobuo What's-His-Face!' That's bullshit! I have background music that covers every mood imaginable! How else do I wrote such good stories? 'Cuz I have music to write them!" I then put on my MP3 player. I then say, "And how do you think I finish all these chores without taking up Crystal Meth? 'Cuz I got epic music, that's why!" I then hit the play button. You know what plays? This. I then start vacuuming to the sound of Alan Silvestri's music. The dream ends just as the music swells.
-A few months ago, some dudes were talking amongst themselves. They were kind of like the villains from the Bourne movies, saying something like it's too dangerous to confront me head-on, but they needed to distract me, nonetheless. One of them comes up with a solution. Cut to my city library. I'm doing research on a computer. I'm surfing the web, looking up information, when all of a sudden, what I'm looking at is suddenly a video. It's an anime video. It was a video of someone running across a field of snow very happily. And do you know who was happily running across said field of snow?
MAKOTO-CHAAAAAAAAAAN!
My heart melts at the sight of my favorite Kanon character. She was just so kee-yeute! But then the video ended, and I went back to my web surfing. I then decided to leave the library, but I had to check my cell phone for something. The moment I did . . .
OH NO! NOT AYU!
I then see Ayu running across a field of snow happily, almost like the ED video of the show, but with more dynamic camera work. She was just adorable! But then the video ended, and I resumed whatever I was doing. I guess whoever was trying to screw with me forgot I liked Nayuki-chan, because I have yet to see her in a dream . . . now I'm sad.
-A few months ago, I'm watching tv. My mom comes in and tells me to do something. I respond, "But, Mooooooom! There's a new episode of Watchmen coming on!" And in the background, you could actually hear the start of the theme song, "Strong together! United forever! They're the best of friends! But when trouble's about, you had best watch out, for the Watchmen!" Man, imagine if Watchmen was a Saturday Morning cartoon . . . imagine how different American comic books would've been.
-Another dream I had, I was watching an episode of Clannad, but it was one that, as far as I know, doesn't exist in the real world. Tomoya and Youhei had to attend a career field day conference or whatever at school. While all the other students were at the kiosks, Tomoya and Youhei were distanced from everyone. Tomoya said "Look at all these losers, fighting for jobs they'll hate, making barely enough to survive." Youhei said. "Yeah, not like us, Okazaki. We live on donations from our families, so that we will be spared the burden of paid work, huh? I mean, could you picture me doing something stupid for a living, like working at a fast food restaurant? Or as a cabbie?" (good lord, the irony of that statement.) Tomoya said, "Yeah, but I think I know what Furukawa-san's ideal job would be." Youhei said, "Well, she's a wannabe actress, so, what?" Tomoya elaborated, "I see her as being the host of a children's tv show." " . . . go on." "Imagine one Sunday morning, you turn on the tv. You turn on the tv, and all of a sudden-"
"-Dango, Dango, Dango, Dango, Dango Daikazoku!"
"It's so plausible, it just might happen! You should be a career counselor, Okazaki!" "I applied, but they said that I was so good, I'd put too many good people out of work." Fun fact, when Tomoya was describing Nagisa's future, my dream actually did a fantasy cutaway, much like in the actual show, to someone turning on the tv, and sure enough, on that tv, I saw Nagisa smiling with her eyes closed, moving her head to the music. Sadly, those are the only lyrics I remember, probably why the dream got cut short there.
-Several years ago, I had a dream that featured characters from one of my original unpublished series. (I can't tell you any details, since I may very well publish this in the real world at some point.) Basically, one of my characters got the idea to steal a gag from Family Guy, namely, this. Yeah, one of my own characters started narrating his own life aloud. I then wrote this as a scene in my series. It will be brilliant.
