After a weird-for-sleep weekend, I took a nap this afternoon, which I woke up from not 45 minutes ago. While I was napping, I had the following dream, which I'm sure was greatly influenced by the forthcoming multiverse-wide reboot that DC Comics is undertaking next month. I've been reading about this upcoming major reboot, which includes restarting all of their titles at #1, including Action Comics (where Superman started and is currently at over 900 issues) and the flagship Detective Comics (where Batman started, currently numbered at 600 something). I understand if you don't care about comics, but there you go, now you have context to this dream.
Katie, myself, and a bunch of friends are over at my friend's house for a party, and since we were obviously partying so hard, just about everyone there passed out on the floor and furniture. I woke up in the middle of the night and everyone was still out of it--I was the only one awake--when I saw an odd light outside. Stepping over people, I grabbed my car keys and went out the side door on the other side of the kitchen, walked down the driveway, and saw these huge black cars parked in front of the house (the house, by the way, looked remarkably like the one that Ashley and Merrianne lived in a couple years ago).
A British police officer was there and he asked me what was going on. I said I had no idea and we checked the license plates, which were odd, because they looked like plates from the States, but there was just logos on them, no numbers. There were also decals and add-ons to the cars from all kinds of different countries. When I turned around back to the house, it was instead a huge office-building-like apartment building, with the huge glass wall facing the street, about 10 stories tall. Out of nowhere, I saw my friend Morgan, who I haven't seen or talked to in almost 3 years now and who is a red-head, dressed up as Supergirl floating up in the air against the building.
She floated down when she recognized me. She gave me a hug, confirmed that she was Supergirl, but she didn't remember getting that way. She also told me that I was looking sharp. I looked in the mirrory glass of the building and saw I was wearing a fancy, trendy suit and a nice shirt with cufflinks (but not tie, because I don't wear those, even in dreamland alternate universes). That was when I knew that I was a big-time lawyer with one of the country's biggest firms. That was neat.
We walked down the street, and I saw Katie wearing this light blue ruffly, frillydress with a parasol on her arm and her hair all done up, Morgan flew off to go fight some crime, and Katie and I walked along the boulevard which was brimming with buskers and carts and vendors, told her I was all of a sudden rich, and she told me she was all of a sudden British. Then we went into a restaurant and I woke up.
