today's epic dream

beccaelizabethToday's dream ended with Britain expelling a ton of people at the end of the Olympics, in theory getting everyone back to their country of origin, in practice getting rid of rather a lot of us that hadn't ever left England. People with disabilities and people just about to retire featured quite prominently. And then we were landed in New York, already kicked out of Britain so they couldn't send us back, and denied citizenship anywhere. They put us in big skyscraper apartment buildings that had their own mini hospitals because we weren't the healthiest before we got sent half way across the world. I ended up volunteering in the mini hospital, but had no skills so mostly I'd sit doing meditation, the one where you think 'may all beings be happy, may all beings be well'. Because that was about all we had the resources to do.
Then someone - the dream couldn't decide if it was RDjr or Tony Stark - turned up having heard about my good work and they were going to Prince Charming it all better. For me. So I instead started arguing how to make it all better for all the people, or I wouldn't go. Bodhisattva vows pretty clear on that, help all the people.
I also dreamed some random bits about Avengers. Like, there was a reality distorting wish granting thingy. It was going to tear reality apart because it granted everyone's wishes, and people didn't wish matching things. Like, Natasha wouldn't wish for Clint to change, but Clint wished he were the older brother so he could have looked after Barney. Which made him a very different guy once he grew up, and Natasha didn't recognise him any more, and he nearly got choked. But Natasha's wish also changed her past a lot. It involved her wearing very 80s cosplay, a black blazer in nubbly fabric with giant shoulders, iridescent bottle green lapels, and a black and white striped collar with carefully precise lines parallel to its edges. She was wearing badges and random objects all over, and carrying a backpack. There were references to a ton of 80s films, like an autograph from Ferris Bueller and some kind of shiny thing from Doc Brown. She didn't say what her wish was, but plausibly it could be to have grown up like an ordinary person, if one's idea of an ordinary person was entirely provided by old American 80s teen movies.
I only saw those two, but already there's definite plot bunny, with bonus hilarity.
And reality was all wobbly and kept being changed by every person's wishes, like instead of consensus reality everyone had their own blob and it was all getting reshaped to their will. So instead of Barney being changed by Clint's wish he got a new Barney of his own, who was sometimes still pint sized. Nothing stayed stable and dream logic applied in the waking world. (Yes I know dream logic always applies in dreams, but in this dream the dream was about how dream logic would mess things up if there were consequences and stuff, so.)
I liked the part where I was living with Clint (in a very white padded flat where the furniture was all on wheels and made walls that could be rolled back so you just had a giant space with a floor like judo mats). But when my Clint vanished and I went looking for him I found all these wish people changing things, so I suspect he was my wish person. Which is less happy. But you never know.
If there was a superhero threat that required being really good at dreams I would totally rock that. Save the world via having slept all the times? I win!
