My Dream

I had a dream just a little while ago during my usual Saturday afternoon nap.

It starts when I'm looking at an industrial building in a badly lit street. Suddenly part of the building explodes out and there we have King Kong busting out of the building. He's angry and lashes out at the rest of the building with his Godzilla tail. I comment to my girlfriend that when King Kong / Godzilla is pissed at a building, all of it gets smashed to the ground.

People are running away, panicking as always. But I'm guiding my girlfriend away from the scene calmly, like I know how King Kong / Godzilla thinks. She spots some buses on the roads and thinks we can take them to get the hell away from there but turns out the drivers aren't picking anybody up, they're pretty much just anxious to get away too.

While we're walking away, suddenly I press the remote control in my living room and rewind the whole thing. And I'm back looking at the industrial building. Except this time, there's a ghost figure of an old man and he's looking for something or someone, freaking out, looking towards me and saying "Mr. Anderson" like in The Matrix - but he can't see me yet. Then he turns away, still freaking out and saying like what has he done and how he's gonna die.

Looking at him, I recognise the old guy as some sort of bastard who's killed loads of people. I briefly wonder whether I should help him but I figure the rewind was for a certain reason. So I appear to him in my Batman (a-la-Batman-Begins) costume and he says we should step further back in time and ensure this King Kong thing doesn't happen.

I tell him to get into my BatMobile but he's familiar with it himself, he says. Except he likes to call it the Starship Enterprise. The BatMobile / Enterprise morphs itself for departure and jumps into a nearby building, shattering the glass off a few floors.

Once the BatMobile has gone through the building, it seems the glass up there is melting and will drip down to the street but it doesn't. Shortly after, it breaks off and falls down below. Then we see bits of illuminated glass rise from the streets below and crawl up the building back to where they were before. The narrator in my dream says it's time stitching itself back up so people will not see what happened.

I then find myself in that alternate world where supposedly the King Kong thing has not happened. Everything's great and all, except I overhear this thing on the news about some people being infected with an unknown disease.

But I know this disease will soon become a major plague and nobody will be able to identify the virus causing it. And if they cannot identify the virus, they won't be able to find a cure either.

I wonder whether to travel to yet another alternate world to find the virus and pass it on to a team of scientists. But I know that if they get the virus, they'll end having to go look for King Kong in order to find a key component of the cure ...

Then my girlfriend woke me up.
