Dream: I plant, I cook, and I fly in Willow, the video game

I had a dream I was growing eggplant. I put the seeds in the soil and went to cover them with another layer and they were already sprouting. This pleased me a lot, because I wanted to grow eggplants for the ninja.

I had another dream where my hair dye had washed out in my shower, leaving me with a dark stripe down the middle of my head, and all the rest was as if I had bleached it blonde at some point, but only in places. I had decided I would wear a hat so only the ends of my hair showed (finally a dream where at least one thing is the same about my hair, even if it is just the length—last time it had lots of deep blue curls. I don’t even have curly hair.) I went into the kitchen to make Texas toast and found that every pan had been used, even my blue baking dish, so I went for the drawer under the stove where there was a pan left behind from the previous inhabitants. It was different than I remembered it, and first off it seemed like there was steel wool spun out of the metal and covering the entire pan.

I also pulled out of it a swatch of honey-blonde hair and thought it was really weird and somewhat gross. I figured out how to dump out the packed steel wool and examined the pan. It had different layers and functions. A person could turn this little knob and these blind like pieces of metal would turn, so you could use it as a frying pan, or open the slats and turn it into a grill. The bottom seemed to have a diffuser built into it, and I thought it was pretty cool. I never did get to make toast though.

In another dream there was “Willow, the video game” except I was Willow himself, and I could fly. I would jump up from the ground, and at first I had to use my arms and legs like I was swimming, but the higher I got the easier it became. I had to fly down these tunnels which glowed blue in the distance, but for some reason I stopped to interact with the inhabitants of the world between tunnels. I was somehow carrying this Force that could help people, but I had been told by those who bestowed it upon me that humans would always take it for themselves if I wanted to loan the Force to other people to help them with their problems. There was this particular man who wanted to take it away from me to find his son, but he was very threatening and was constantly thinking about braining me on a rock and taking the Force from me. His wife was nice, and genuine, and just wanted to find her son. In between avoiding the man and talking to the wife, I decided I wanted to help her instead of just fly by.

There were many instances where people were going to try to catch me. One of them used a wide scarf they were knitting as a bow, using the knitting needle as an arrow. There was also an archer hiding up a tree, but I snuck up behind him and picked him up by the back of his shirt. I told him I was going to drop him now, but I would get closer to the ground to do so. He was similar to Legolas in the Lord of the Rings movies. I was often on the tops of steep hills and I would leap off of them to start flying. Sometimes I would worry that I would stop being able to fly, but I eventually called myself silly for thinking it would go away and I would only prevent myself from flying by doubting that I could. One time the Legolas dude was after me in the lady’s house, but I floated up to the ceiling. The lady was disappointed and hopeful all at the same time, and I found that I wanted to help her so much it prevented me from flying away. In one part, I was running through this meadow like place to get to a cliff, and I remembered that I should be walking the way Willow did in the movie instead of running the way I was supposed to.

For some reason, I would have to dress up like a woman to trick the father. I had to wear this pink dress (I was watching the scene from outside of Willow’s body) and what looked like a lace decorated surgeons mask (also pink).

I kept looking at the tunnels in the distance, knowing how easy it would be to fly to one and forget about all these troubles, but I did want to help the lady a lot.

Before I stopped, the tunnels were wonderful to be in. It was as if they were sorts of energy vortexes or something of that sort, all transporting to other places, and one of those places would be where I would use the Force I was gifted with.
