Apr. 3rd, 2008 06:45 amI had the strangest dream before steph called to wake me up.
So I was on this small boat thing... only it was sort of like a cable car or tram with overhead lines, in that there was a taut rope stretching across the ocean a ways before the top of my boat, and there was a cable coming out of my boat that had that little thing on top with grooves, sort of like this:
(shaddup I was trying to draw w/touchpad)
Anyway, I was a guy (I think; my dream wasn't that specific), and it was sort of like the Disney movies - (mind you, I totally don't remember where I was going or why, but I had some task or some quest of some sort...) so anyway I was standing on my boat and my boat was cruising along with the wind. down that rope. then abruptly I screeched to a stop and I looked up and there were some knots in the rope (this is very thick, rough type of rope) and I had sailed past most of them, but the groove was trying to get around one and it was slipping, slipping... and then it popped out. Or I think the rope frayed, and frayed, and all of a sudden snapped. In any case my boat suddenly started veering and turning in weird directions because I wasn't cruising down that rope anymore, and I was, in effect, royally screwed.
Right, so apparently the big taut ropes were coming out of big ships, and there happened to be this other one, so I pulled my boat closer to it somehow, only I guess my boat was still attached to the broken first rope, because somehow to keep aligned and sliding straight I had to pull the first rope in the air alongside the rope from the other ship (the first rope still holds taut if I pull it, you see, because the other end's still connected to a ship), and as long as I did that I could keep cruising down the ocean straight as an arrow, I swear, Disney hero style (you know, like Mulan can just jump off a building and cruise along that line holding up lanterns for the lantern festival). Only thing was, the rope WAS broken, so I had to keep pulling on it to get it to work, which pulled the ship it was in closer to me...
All this took place in the span of less than a minute, by the way. It was like... an action scene. You know all those random impossible stunts Jack Sparrow pulls in pirates. Like that.
Then I'd just stepped onto dock and was walking jauntily to do whatever quest I was supposed to do (totally don't remember) when steph called.
lawl.
