 | To my mother, or my father, it’s your son or it’s your daughter |
I had a pretty wicked dream last night about my step dad, Chris. It was more like a short film itself. It took place in this old time chinese town, with a royal family. The first scene had this mother in a kimono at the door of a house on a rainy night, kissing her ~6 year old son good bye. She was sad to see him go, but there was an urgency for his safety that he had to get away. The boy is taken away by a guy in a long cape. There was a guy with camera across the street that kept trying to take pictures of the boy, but was never able to get a shot of his face. So there’s this theme of mystery around the son of the lady.
Next scene is years later, and a 20 something year old man, who is trying to find out if the lady is his mother. They walk down a narrow path behind some houses with a waist high white wall to their left and these 1 story white houses/apartments with big windows to their right. They’re walking and talking about their history, and she knows who he is, but she can’t admit who he is right away. So, I’m like this bodyguard person walking with them, and every time we pass one of these large windows, I throw out my arms, grabbing my cape and blocking people from inside seeing the two together. Then, one window has the same camera man behind it. I bust through the window and try to chase him down, but I’m not successful. He’s not able to get a shot of the man’s face though. So I’ve done my job.
Then, we flash to modern day in my mom’s house. I’m sleeping downstairs and I hear a noise upstairs. I rush upstairs all ninja like, check the back bedrooms are clear, and when I come to the main door, it’s open. Someone made their way into the house. I’m yelling for Chris to let him know that the camera man is in the house. I locked the door and start to make may way through the livingroom into the back bathroom. Then I see the guy with the camera standing in the door way. It’s friggin creepy to think about it right now. So i lunge towards him, he goes into Chris’ room, where Chris and I try to corner him, but he slips back into the bathroom, still not being able to take a picture of Chris’ face. When I go back into the bathroom area to find him, he had disappeared into piles of garbage bags of clothes that are all over the floor. Our old dalmation, Dante, is there, and he sniffs him out and the dude jumps up out of the bags with his camera in hand and I throw out my arms with my cape and block a picture of Chris again.
I woke up somewhere after that. This dream is a little foggier than some of my dreams I write about, but the concept seemed pretty cool. I could see a little short movie being made where the identity of the heir to the throne must be kept safe.
