Dream: Earrings and supervillans

In a stunning combination between “The Man with Golden Gun” and the “Shawshank Redemption” comes… last night’s dream.

I was sitting at a table with a few other people, and I opened a jewelry box. First I pulled out a string of hematite beads, which looked too metallic to be hematite, but that’s what they were in the dream, and a few pairs of earrings, one of which were ruby studs in a triangular cut. They had some kind of glow in their centers. One of the girls at the table with me was really interested in another pair of the earrings, spherical faceted crystal. I let her have them.

Somehow word about the ruby earrings got out enough that Professor Smolens wanted them. He had a henchman, the head guard from the “Shawshank Redemption” and that guy was after me. I tried to get away through different buildings—it was like a combination between the Center for Arts and Sciences in Saginaw and the New Science facility at NMU, with lots of long white hallways with locked beige doors. I went down a hall only to find bathrooms, so I hid in one and started to try to pry the duct from the ceiling over the stall.

Unfortunately, the henchman followed me in and dragged me out, taking the earrings. Professor Smolens walked in—because supervillians are too dignified to run—and took the earrings from his henchman. He said he was lucky to have gotten them from me because they were actually power generators (this is from the man with the golden gun). I saw that the earrings he got from the henchman were actually square, and I told him that the henchman must have the real ones because the ones I had were triangular.

Professor Smolens then dismissed the henchman by making him vanish or sucked him into the earrings themselves. We sat down at a table and he began to inform me of the uses of the earrings, but I woke up.
