So in the vampire dream, I was in someone's attic or something rearranging old junk. I also remember that I poured a glass of water on someone's head :) . But other than that, the rest is lost.

Last night, though, I had ANOTHER x-men dream. It was freaky deeky cool!

Apocolypse (an unbeatable enemy in the X-men) had me trapped in a dark, hidden room that was situated within a mall. He also had a girl trapped, possibly my sister, but I couldn't tell. We weren't really tied up or anything, we were just locked in a room with a couch and a TV. Apocalypse was forcing me to use a machine that would let him control the world or something, but I didn't want to comply. For some reason, he didn't know how to use it, so I had to learn how to do so. THe machine was sort of like an old computer, 80s style, and the key component that I had discovered consisted of 8 small green stone pieces similar to Pies from Trivial Pursuit. You know, how they're kind of shaped like pieces of a pizza and arranged in the same way? That's what made the machine run. What Apocalypse didn't know was that I had stolen one of these pieces and hidden somewhere (I didn't even remember where I had hidden it... I knew that was going to be problematic at some point...). So I kept "trying and trying" (or at least looking like I was trying) to get the machine to work, but it wouldn't because it was missing that pie. Apocalypse left for some reason, and the girl and I escaped. I found some other friends (I'm guessing we were supposed to be mutants, but we never used our powers in the dream) and we started running. The mall we were in was freakin psycho. It was very large and there were people everywhere, but I don't think there were even any stores. *shrug* There were large curtained off sections around as well. As i was running up a set of stairs, my dad was running down. I said that Apocalypse had made a typo, and I needed my dad to make one too, or something. My dad said he didn't know what a typo was, and he didn't know how to write one. Yeah, I know, weird. I told my dad to run because Apocalypse was returning to the mall. I started to run back down the stairs, but I knew Apocalypse was coming that way, so I ran back up. I knew I had to hide, and there were a couple curtained off sections in the hall I was in. So I ducked into one, but saw the curtain was still moving, so I had to get away from there. I ducked into an adjacent curtain room, but was foiled by a moving curtain again. The next curtain I tried to duck behind, but Apocalypse was right behind me... The curtain was rotating and I knew he was on the other end and on the other side... that was kinda scary. I ran. and ran some more. Somewhere in the middle of the mall there was a place I could duck under... It was kind of like the underside of some benches, but under there there was a whole system of tunnels I could hide in. I went to the end of the tunnel I had come in to look for my friends, who eventually came by. I tried really hard not to draw attention to myself from anyone but my friends, but people kept turning and giving me weird looks. My friends, after hearing me, walked over, and I swear that I saw Katie Sall walking past them, behind them. My friends and I ducked into the tunnel system, but it had simply ceased to be, and I couldn't find it again. So we had to decide between jumping into one of those hedge mazes that suddenly appeared next to us or to run in the mall. We ran. I follwed my friends, but when I turned to look behind me and turned back, I couldn't see them. There was one store, and it was very girly. All pink with purses and makeup and dresses and stuff. I heard a countdown going in my head and knew I had to get out of the store by then. I couldn't make it, and when the countdown reached 0, a clerk asked me "Can I help you?" and I screamed, "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!: I don't understand why, but hey, it's my dream. Deal. I think that's all I remember, except for one part where my friends tried to make me where a dress to be more inconspicuous. Yeah, I didn't go along with that plan ;) .

I wonder if someday, these will all be analyzed and the secret to my existence will be revealed?

Previously, in Jesse's head:

So I've been watching a lot of the original x-men cartoon series on DVD, so I have definitely got mutant on the brain. Last night I went with my dad to buy a car or something, and we looked through a bunch of different ones that were all pretty nasty, and he picked out the ugliest truck I've ever seen, despite my pleadings. He went inside and I followed; I asked if I should take the car home or if I should wait to follow him home (to make sure the car he had just bought didn't break down or whatever...) and he said I should probably wait. So I went outside, planning to wait. But outside there was a large protest against mutants, a social party of which I was a member. My power this time was to control electricity and lightning. I snuck past the protestors over to the edge of the woods and frolicked where a bunch of other mutants were. I kept telling one of them how I would LOVE to just freak out the protestors with a bolt of lightning or something, but alas, I did not. Then I was back at our house, and I saw my dad pull in with the nastugly truck. He came in and I apologized for not waiting, and didn't know why I hadn't waited. He kept giving me a disappointed look. I asked if it was because I was a mutant, and he said, "yes." He explained that he thought mutants were freaks, mistakes of nature, etc. Obviously, that hurt. I don't remember much more from that section... but then there was the vampire dream...
