last night, i found myself in a dream environment that seemed more like a video game.
i was controlling a character, with some sort of hand held control pad.
he was jumping from platform to platform, swinging from ropes, etc.. very much like the old video games i played back in the day on my zx spectrum 48K computer. wow, showing my age now! :oops:
anyway, at one point, i was in a street, and my character was jumping around, then i made him build some big blocks into a rectangular structure on the ground.
beside it a small, one-man spacecraft appeared.
it looked like a typical "space invader" from the original game.
the little character continued building the structure with the blocks, and i stepped onto the space invader-craft.
next to me the little guy topped off his building with a pyramid shaped block.
at that moment, the space invader i was standing on, took off, shooting straight up into the sky.
beside me, the building that had been created, began to grow, straight upwards too.
we both shot up at incredible speed, me on my little "ship", and beside me, a growing obelisk. i noticed that it was silver, shining in the sunlight.
as we got higher and higher i had that familiar thought of "hey, if i was up here in "real life" i'd be scared of the height."
we shot up, through the clouds.
beside me the obelisk was growing at exactly the same rate as my ascent. i saw that there appeared to be two "pegs, near the top of it, like you'd see on a BMX bike, for standing on.
i decided to step over, onto the obelisk, for the rest of the journey.
i stood on the pegs, and watched the world get smaller beneath me.
as i looked down, i saw the countryside below, and to my surprise, it was one giant amusement park.
rollercoasters and water rides everywhere! :D
soon we were so high, we were leaving the atmosphere.
the air thinned out to nothing, and our ascent stopped.
the obelisk i was standing on was wobbling slowly from side to side with my weight on it.
with no fear of falling it was fun.
eventually, as nothing was happening, i decided to let myself fall back down.
i let go and fell backwards, down to earth i plummeted.
as i neared the ground i reached out with my hand, and even though i wasn't looking where i was reaching, i grabbed a statue of a lion that was in the street, and swung around and landed safely on my feet.
i looked back over to where the obelisk and spacecraft were, both back on the ground where they started from, and i had to climb back on for another go.. 8)
as i began to rise again, my girlfriend rolled over and woke me :x
