If a dream is a wish your heart makes... my heart wants strange things.

Seek and Find: The House on Haunted Hill

From my dream log, 11/09.
This Dream Was: Fully Interactive

So I am in a haunted house right out of a hidden object game. Random shit every where. I am in a bedroom with a playhouse on one side of the room and a door on the other. The playhouse is a huge primary-colored plastic monstrosity that is child sized. A giant Shelob-sized spider pops out of the playhouse and kills me. The dream 'resets' and I really am playing a game. I try to leave the room again, the spider comes out and I drive it back into the playhouse and put a chair under the door handle, but that doesn't work. The spider breaks out and I try to run but I know I won't make it. I see my 'death' from 3rd person. The player-character is Anna from 'V' (played by Morena Baccarin) I am really angry because this should have worked. Also, I know I am going to die so I say 'fuck it' Anna kisses the spider and turns into a monster. I know this is a major plot point in the game and I am a little sad that it was revealed early, I think that it is bad game design that I was able to get the game to show me this to soon.

I can't get passed the damn spider, I know I am going to have to look this up on gamefaqs, even thought I am compelety 'in' the game (I'm not dreaming that I am sitting at a computer while playing, I am inside the playercharacter when I'm not dying.) I know that at any time I can 'pull out' and look at the name of the game (which I can't remember) on the Window's start bar, and open gamefaqs. But I don't want to give up yet, so I turn around a see a closet. I decide to get dressed. I find a blue dress that only goes down to my ass, but I can't find anything else to wear. It's all to big, I figure the clothing must be Whitney's (my real life roommate at the time).

I head into the bathroom. I have to pee, but there are tiny white nat flies land on me and I don't want to use the bathroom while they are there. The place is just filthy and gross and I want to clean it before I use it. I find the source of the flies is a StarWars toy. It is a hard plastic landscape that should have moving parts and a handful of tiny action figures, all of which are lost except for a Yoda that is fixed in place. There is a pool of standing water in it. I pick it up to pour out the water in the tub. There is a closed shower curtain, I think there is something bad behind it, but when I work up the courage to look the tub is empty.

I wake up.

And I really have to pee. Gah!
