Coolest dream EVAH!
Basically, Emily, Val, and myself were in an old farmhouse, full of sunlight, with nice white furniture and yellow walls. A couple other people, including Sarah Estrin, were just laughing and sipping tea in this plain farmhouse. Then Val opened the front door, and I followed her onto the porch. She looked at me, and said pleasantly "It's time to build the world anew." Suddenly I knew we had been empowered by Satan to recreate the world, which, while we all played in the farmhouse, had been wiped out. I mean, the planet wasn't gone, but all forms of the modern world had just been...erased. All we can see is a dark green field and a blue sky. We were not going to make the world evil. Satan just wanted us to build it in our normal, slightly odd way.
So anyway, Emily sits at the computer and says "I'm going to do it from here." Sarah says she will stay with her. Val and I agree that we will go and create the world. I look at my arms, and they are adorned with brown feathers. It's like I'm an angel, and I say "It's like on Dogma." So Val just starts flying through the air, wingless, and I'm flapping my tatty brown feather arms as hard as I can, trying to keep up. Then we come to this city, full of devoutly Christian people. This pisses us off. I mean, what the Hell are they doing, blistering the face of our perfect blank world? We start flying low, through the skinny streets. All the buildings are dark and have buzzing neon signs. But it is broad daylight, so the streets are bright. Val and I decide to get rid of them...or at least piss them off.
For some reason, we head for a school for blind children. We're inside, and all the kids are just hanging out, and their parents are in a line, signing them up for the school. The parents, who are not blind, can see me. By this time, Val is off somewhere to do something. I think she had gone to do some graffiti (I didn't know why. They won't see it!). All the parents, especially a harsh looking woman with short blonde hair, are staring at me. I'm leaning casually, feathered arms and all, against a wall, near the children. There are a lot of crosses on the walls, and everyone has Jesus articles around their necks. So I decide to do something that will really and truly offend them. This is why I woke up laughing.
"BARMITZVAH BARMITZVAH BARMITZVAH!!!" I start screaming and laughing, at the top of my lungs, flapping my dirty feather arms.
Then I woke up laughing so hard I thought I was going to pee my pants, but luckily I did not. Emily laughed when I told her. And rightly so.
Coolest dream EVAH!
