Ethereal Chess and Crazy Black Animals [7/04/2005]

I first recall being on a brick path in the middle of a ethereal forest. The path was about two cars wide. Everything had a cyan hue to it, and although it was very dark, the path and the trees all glowed with this cyan-green brilliance as if it were something quite magical. I walked around and found other people on this path. But there weren't ordinary people. Everyone has a look to them as though they were pieces in a chess game. Some looked like sorcerers, others like pawns, and others like towers. They all seemed to belong to a set of teams represented by different colors and patterns on their clothing.

Some pieces from the other teams seemed agressive when we came across them. Others we found belonged to our own team. We wandered about on these paths and side-paths until we had gathered our team together. Gathering was a rather strange task. It involved finding chess pieces that all looked like pawns, and then tapping them on the head. After tapping them, they came to life and transformed into the various different pieces, but they were much more life-like -- literally, they were living and breathing people or things.

We found some of our pieces in the woods, others on the path, some in water, and others underneath pools of ice. There finally ended up being three teams. And we all separated ways on the path and went to a castle each to our own.

The next thing I knew, I was walking up cathedral stairs with these people to a second floor. One woman in the group suggested that we should defeat the other teams, and then we could have this place and the woods and land to ourselves. Everyone else seemed to agree. After the last curl in this fancy staircase, we found ourselves in a huge room dimly lit from various corners with a warm light. It was quite dark otherwise. We saw a floor that looked like a life-sized chess board to one side.

Soon, a very commanding man (he almost seemed as if he was enslaving us for his own purpose) came in the room and ordered us onto the chessboard to fight our opponents, one of the other teams. They soon came in from another entrance in the room, and we all had lined up on the chess board. It seemed that we didn't have all the pieces. There was only half as many pieces as there should have been, and everyone was placed every other row to compensate for the missing people.

The game began, but no one knew how to play chess. One person moved foward all the way to the other side and knocked out one of the other team's players. Then people argued as to how far forward you could move. I got really frustrated with everyone as people seemed to make fun and started talking in little groups rather than lining up to play the game. It was as though no one cared about the game. I soon yelled to everyone to get on the board and play the game.

In a moment, I wasn't in the strange world and I believe woke up on a couch. I found a mean black cat on my left foot which was biting at my sock and right through to the toenail on my big toe. I thought this cat was crazy, and I tried to pull him away, and had to use a lot of force to keep it from going after my toe again. Dan came over and I told him to get rid of his crazy cat, but he just stood there for a bit. I wondered if perhaps he needed to see why his cat was crazy. But eventually he grabbed the cat away. But the cat jumped away from him, went over my foot, but went to pursue some other interest instead of biting my toe.

I got up and went around to see what was going on. Everyone seemed to be together celebrating something, and Dan was getting out some sort of video thing to display for us. It was as though we were watching memories of past events we had together. But we had trouble with the video and decided to go back to watching some movie. The movie looked like a war movie with Leo DeCaprio in it and there were laying on the side of a barron rocky hill covered with yellow grass.

I grabbed some ice cream and so did my brother, and we decided to leave after eating our ice cream.

We left and found ourselves in some kind of tech-themed teen center that was full of hallways after hallways of flashing lights and yellow plastic that looked all fancy. We were heading back to the car and left this building only to find outselves in other mazes of paths and docks. We walked along and had to go through this escape-hole in a small shop around the corner. And we go out and realized we had to get mom.

We went back in and got my mom in this techno fun house and came back out and had to make our way through some crazy fencing that seemed to be there to keep animals in. We were worried the animals would figure out how to get out of the fence as we were making our way out and finding out easy it was to get out.

Back at this little snack place, we went through this escape hatch as before and some mean black dog attacked me. I wrestled the dog without too much trouble and held its mouth shut. This dog was truely crazy just like the cat. But I managed to tame the dog enough to get myself out and keep the dog inside. I then woke up shortly after I slid out this hatch and into the back where our car was parked.
