Today's dream
Aug. 12th, 2012 05:55 pmDreamed I followed Steve Rogers into weird caverns and eventually pitch black places.
Found Tony Stark there. Lost Steve.
Tony & I chased after Steve, and found two of him.
One of him looked exactly right to Tony. The other looked exactly right to me. (Tony's idea of his height relative to Captain America is, far as I could see, somewhat flattering, or dependent on him being in really big boots. From Tony's point of view, I am a tiny person who thinks the Captain is huge. Other differences were more subtle. Like, My Steve had a WWII gun, but Tony's just had the shield.)
Neither Tony nor I knew how to get out of the caves, but the Steves claimed they did.
Neither Steve reacted to the other at all. Like the other wasn't there at all.
So, logic problem: Which one was real?
Was either one real?
Was Tony real?
And, once you're down to that, are the caves real, and what would constitute 'out' anyway.

As a story, it's fun because you compare/contrast how people see each other.
As a dream it leaves you poking the furniture to make sure it's still real.
But I have that reaction a lot. Like the other night I woke up remembering I'd just woken up, heard an explosion, had the fire alarm go off, and started to get up before being knocked down by another explosion. Only, logically, since I just then woke up *again* and there was no smoke, fire, or alarms, that hadn't happened. But you couldn't prove it by my brain.
Or possibly that happened and I'm in a rebooted sector of Matrix.
Sod it, as long as there's enough fic here I'm good.
