La République Plastique (The Plastic Republic)

Dream 1

All that I can remember of this dream is that at some point in the dream I was walking around with a group of men like I wanted to join their team, they were on an undercover mission to find someone and protect them and escort them by land/helicopter/et cetera through various locations until they reach their final destination, and there was another group whose job was to find and kill the target; and so they had to try to stop that from happening.

The men were undercover and so they did not have visible armor and weapons but they had some guns hidden on them, the leader of the group was a man with whitish colored skin and I remember them not letting me join them but they did let me follow them around, and they acted a bit like villains/jerks and they did not really seem to like me; and they treated me somewhat like an annoying nerd who wanted to be them or something like that.

I remember us being inside a large windowless shopping mall during a strange cloudy day looking around among the people trying to find the person who they needed to protect and escort, we had to act normal and blend in and so we did, and eventually we found a man with whitish colored skin who was the person who we needed to protect and escort.

They probably called the helicopter to come pick us up and we went outside in the front courtyard area to wait for the helicopter from a high place that would give us good visibility to see threats coming, the courtyard had various areas to sit by water fountains and plants, and we picked the highest area further away from the other people; but they were still somewhat close to us.

We tried to look and act normal while trying to stay alert, there was a solid tall wall around the area which gave us cover from snipers and easy attacks, but there was an open area that was the entrance where we could be attacked or sniped from; and so we tried to keep watch on that area while also watching other areas, and we mostly sat and stood around looking around and talking a bit.

Things were going good until something happened that I can not remember exactly, I think that I and/or someone else thought that we saw something move on the ground near the open entrance, and maybe we realized that it was a threat laying on the ground on its stomach in a sniper position and we went to cover the man we were protecting; but the first person to reach the man got shot and probably killed by a sniper who had sneaked outside the open entrance briefly, which is the movement we saw, and which was the assumed threat.

If it were not for our early alert and moving into position we would have failed the mission and more of us would have died, we quickly started moving the man to a safer location while the rest of our team move toward the entrance to defend against the threat, and the sniper moved out of sight; and no one would give me a weapon because I was not in their group, and so I picked up a compact sniper rifle off the ground that probably belonged to the man in their group who got shot by the sniper protecting the target.

This felt real and I could feel the gun and holding it felt real, I looked through the scope and I could see into the distance realistically, and I ran toward the entrance to help them find the sniper and get a better view of the situation; and I remember hiding near the open entrance and looking around with my scope around the corner, and I saw a group of men wearing dark military-like combat uniforms with ski masks and body armor and assault rifles et cetera moving in formation to sneak attack us.

They seemed well-trained (like special forces or a paramilitary force) and they had a plan, they would have caught us by surprise and killed more of us if I had not used my scope, and so I told the others what I saw; and I saw their sniper covering them from a distance, he had backed away to a safer position which was smart, but he was standing up briefly to cover his friends better as they were moving into position and he was about to shoot someone on our side so I lined up my shot and I shot him in the stomach or chest before he could shoot us.

He did not expect one of us to have a sniper rifle, the bullet hit him and there was some impact and he started to curl-up a bit in pain, and he slowly fell to the ground; and then I hid behind the wall again trying to see where the other threats were, they were smart, and they had moved along the wall where I could not see them to get ready to run through the entrance and ambush us.

The first of them to run through the entrance ran right in front of me and I shot him before he could shoot me, I shot at the others forcing them to take cover, and I used my scope to follow their movements and tell my team; and this helped us greatly during our shootout, and the threats fought well like my dream security probably would and they used tactics like I would expect them to which allowed them to survive the shootout even when they lost the element or surprise and they had a field disadvantage and they lost their sniper.

They could have kept fighting us but they decided to do the smart thing and retreat so that they could probably follow us and attack us again later when they have the advantage because we had the advantage during the shootout because we had better cover thanks to the wall, and because I took out their sniper and I used my scope to better follow their positions and tell my teammates their positions.

If it were not for the man who took the bullet for the target and I, we would have failed the mission, and so I proved that I was helpful to the team and maybe they decided to let me officially help/join them now; and we probably had to call off the helicopter pick up or the helicopter was still coming, and it would drop us off at a new location or we would walk to a new location to meet the helicopter.

Our mission was going to probably take place on land, water, and in the air across several locations; and so the surviving threats would have more opportunities to ambush us again later, and we felt that they would because they were smart and well-trained but I woke up.

This dream felt pretty realistic and almost like it was a type of training, like something that would be good for training your dream security, with one side of your dream security practicing offense while the other side practices defense across various situations/locations/forms of transportation/et cetera.

Dream 2

I had a semi-dream or semi-daydream where I thought up a title for book and/or film series called La République Plastique (The Plastic Republic), and I thought up a few quick details of what it might be about; and I remember my ideas being partly based on the American empire, the situation(s) in Syria, politics, and various other things.

The book series and/or film series would be about a small I guess you could say artificially created country, the word plastique (plastic) would represent this artificialness and the fact that the country is small/light/flexible, and the country would be a république (republic); and an empire based on the American empire would be in this story, possibly directly or indirectly responsible for the creation of La République Plastique (The Plastic Republic) along with some of their allies and/or enemies, but La République Plastique probably ends up breaking from their control or trying to.

The empire would probably start trying to destabilize them and/or destroy and/or replace the current government because the empire and their allies can no longer control them/use them/manipulate them/et cetera, in a way similar to what is happening with Syria and what has happened to various other countries and what will continue to happen to other countries at this rate who have been destabilized by various outside forces (especially modern empires) for various reasons/excuses, and so the empire and various other countries use various tactics against them like: arming and training rebel and extremist groups, economic sanctions, drone/air strikes and secret special forces missions, assassinations, propaganda campaigns, and more.

I guess the series would explore various real world topics and explore various possibilities of what might happen in such a situation, to get the audience to think and question things, and see things from various angles and the effects/affects of various actions/systems/et cetera through a fictionalized story based on some real world elements of tactics/et cetera used past/present/future; and exploring new possibilities of a mostly defensive nature of how such a country could successfully defend against an empire and their allies, and survive if that is even possible against the improving modern methods of empire.

At least that is what I think that I thought about, I could be wrong, my memory is too unclear.

Two Men Using Remote-Controlled Mannequins To Battle Each Other?

Dream 1

All that I can remember of this dream is that it took place during the day and I was with my brother GC and my mom at E Manor, I think that we were walking around the yard and inside the house looking at things, and my mom probably had us helping with various things; and it was nice getting to be inside the E Manor, especially on the second floor without being disturbed, but some of our family members from my mom’s side of the family arrived.

At first it was just a few family members who seemed to be stopped by briefly to see E Manor, ask me/us for help with something, talk briefly, and then leave so I did not expect them to stay for more than an hour or so; but slowly more family members started to arrive, and my mom was asking me to help with different things that made it seem like something was going on that no one had told me about.

I got suspicious and it seemed that a family gathering was going to take place, more and more family members and their families arrived, and they even had luggage and stuff; and so it seemed that a stealth / secret family reunion was taking place, and no one had told me.

This interrupted the quiet that we were enjoying at first and more and more family members wanted help and advice and to talk, which was a bit annoying at first, but maybe I started to relax a bit; but it was clear I was not going to be able to spend the night at E Manor because there would be no room, but that is all that I can remember of this dream.

Dream 2

All that I can remember of this dream is that there was a man who had a brother who worked for a man who had maybe grayish colored simple thicker/more blocky/sturdy mannequin-like things/figures that you could control, and he would use them to fight against another man and his army of  mannequin-like things.

The two men were at constant war with each other and they used their mannequin-like things to fight their battles while they controlled them, and I am not sure how they controlled the mannequin-like things; but it seemed possibly somewhat paranormal or supernatural than technological, but I could be wrong because it could have just been a new drone technology or something like that.

All that I know is that they controlled them remotely I guess, the brother of the man who I was talking to worked for one of the men assisting him, but I can not remember how he would assist him; but it seemed to be an okay job maybe, and no one was getting hurt because it was just two eccentric old men fighting their mannequin-like things against each other.

Both old men had their own base with their own mannequin-like armies and their bases were probably separated by a field, and their mannequin-like armies would probably fight in this field mostly; but neither old man seemed to ever completely defeat the other, and so they probably had been at war with each other for many years with no end to the war in sight.

I either saw and heard flashbacks of things as the man told me what his brother had told him about his job and/or I really got to see/meet his brother and the old man at their base, I remember the old man being the somewhat grumpy type, but he would get excited and happy when he won some battles against his enemy and when something bad would happen to his enemy; and he was somewhat like a mild eccentric somewhat crazy scientist somewhat grumpy old man type, but that is all that I can remember of this dream.

Comparing Colors

Source: Wikimedia Commons

I went to bed very late last night and I had to wake up very early this morning so I only got about two hours of sleep, and so I did not have much time to dream.

I did somewhat dream and I could have remembered more and voice recorded what I remembered, but I did not get up to use the bathroom and voice record my dreams.

Now all that I can remember is that I dreamed about comparing colors again, but I can not remember if I was comparing the colors of clothing/jackets/coats and/or something else again.

I assume that it was probably me mostly comparing clothing colors so that I can see if I can return/exchange my Sportier pea coat that I bought earlier this year for a new color in a smaller size now that they finally are selling them again, I would have done this months ago, but they had no plans on selling them again and they no longer had any smaller sizes; and so I kept the one that I had waiting to see if they would ever get more in the future in a smaller size.

The new version of the Sportier pea coat looks the same to me except that the tag is slightly different than the old version of the Sportier pea coat, I want to try a medium to see if it will fit me and look a bit less baggy/big, but I am also considering trying either charcoal or navy instead of black; but I have not been able to decide on which color to try yet, but I will possibly try either charcoal or navy this time and so any opinions are welcome.

Here is the new version of the Sportier pea coat:

A Shapeshifting Mannequin-Like Structure

Dream 1

I forgot most of my dreams from last night after waking up and going back to sleep a few times and I needed to use the bathroom but I stayed in bed without getting up to use the bathroom or voice record my dreams or think about my dreams, and so I forgot most of my dreams.

All that I can remember of this dream is that some of it took place at E Manor, I remember my male cousin ME being there at some point and maybe his half-brother was there at some point as well, and so maybe some other family members from my mom’s side of the family arrived there as well during the dream; and I remember talking with my male cousin ME, and we probably worked on something by combining ideas that we both came up with but that is all that I can remember of this dream.

Dream 2

I can only remember part of the end of this dream so it does not make much sense without the rest of the dream, the dream took place over a period of several days at least, and there were some weird things happening; and the military seemed to be on alert because they would do patrols, airstrikes, and ground attacks sometimes but I can not remember why they were on alert and what they were trying to attack most of the time.

The only thing that I can remember them attacking sometimes is a strange generic color changing (shapeshifting) humanoid shaped solid colored mannequin-like structure, it was very simple like the shape of the symbol of a generic man on a bathroom sign, and oddly this mannequin could change colors or would change colors and/or you could change its color; and I would stop to look at it each day trying to compare colors (the colors would be different each day, but you could possibly manually change them yourself; but it would somehow change its own color each day possibly, and it almost seemed a bit paranormal and/or supernatural and unusual which made me wonder if it was somehow alive or possessed or something like that), probably trying to help me decide which pea coat color and shirt color(s) to go with, but that is a wild guess.

I remember some of the colors being navy, charcoal gray, medium gray, maybe black, and maybe a few other colors; and for some unknown reason the military would sometimes do airstrikes and ground strikes on it by accident it seemed, like they would shoot anything that looked suspicious or strange or that stood in one area too long, but somehow it was not destroyed or full of bullet holes even though they would attack it sometimes.

The mannequin or whatever it was probably fabric-like or had a thin fabric-like layer over it so it was not shiny or plastic looking or overly smooth, when I would stop to look at it I would try to not stay long to avoid getting shot by the military, and I think that I remember briefly talking to a male military officer with whitish colored skin wearing a combat uniform about the mannequin-like structure while some other soldiers patrolled the area on foot; but that is all that I can remember of this dream.

I am not sure if this happened in one of my dreams or not, but I remember waking up remembering or hearing part of the song Torn by Natalie Imbruglia; I assume that this song probably was playing in the background of one of my dreams maybe, but who knows.

If I Ever Have Kids One Day All That I Am Going To Wear Is A belt

Dream 1

All that I can remember of this dream is that the end of the dream took place during the day in a parking lot of a small shopping center, a slightly over-fat young man with dark brownish colored skin with short blackish colored hair was sitting in a chair next to or inside his convertible car, and he was thinking about life and talking with someone else.

He was talking about memories, beliefs, ideas, the past, the present, the future, life problems, and more; and I remember that the person who he was talking kept reminding him of certain mostly negative things, like the fact that the young man had one or more mental illnesses, and that he had done some terrible things to people and children when unstable.
