I had the weirdest dream last night.
So, I'm in a ramshackle house (if you can call it a house) on the edge of a deep river high up. Apparently I live there, as does my current flatmate. The house is above the river banks, right on the edge - so much that it's overlooking the trees below - about, say, 30 meters, or so. The house is full of rotting wood, dodgy foundations, and patched up holes everywhere. It's really filthy, too.
Anyway, I'm in the house and it starts to break up and fall off. I'm tumbling around, but managed to clambour out just before it falls into the river and disappears under the water.
So, I scramble up to where the house was, just as Paul (my flatmate) was coming home. He says not to worry, we have another house we can put here in the meantime, and goes off to get the other house. It's not much better than the first house, and is placed precariously on the old and dodgy foundations.
While I hold fort, Paul goes off to a mutual friend's place - Ross - to get some rope.
While he's away, a bunch of thug types that have obviously been out harvesting their crop of weed, stop their old dungy car and get out. I freak out about them and start to climb up on the roof (easy to do because of all the trees - this is in the wilderness) and start Tarzanning my way across the treetops. Looking back, I can see cops in boats on the river trying to search the house that is almost completely submerged.
I try to get their attention as the thug types have started trashing my ramshackle new house, but they start shooting at me.
Then the helicopters. Those darned helicopters were able to turn themselves upside down and use their blades to chop the treetops and shake me out. It appears that the cops think I'm involved with the thugs somehow.
Anyway, I get to this big patch of marijuana - 30 feet tall with trunks like trees - and there are mercenaries protecting it. So, I find myself stuck high up this marijuana tree, hiding from all the baddies. And I'm starving! So, I start to eat the treetops. And then I start to feel all funny.
Now Ross is a lover of old planes, is an aviator, and something of an inventor, so I can see him in the distance ripping pieces off the new old house and he quickly ropes together a makeshift plane to come and rescue me. He and Paul fly over the treetops, dodging bullets, and as they near me, Paul throws down a bucket on a rope, which I somehow manage to climb into. And we're off. I'm almost tripping from eating the weed and we fly high above the trees and finally into a local hick police station, where they decide that we all need to go under the witness protection programme. And guess who they turn me into? Paris-bloody-Hilton! :eek:
So, I suddenly find myself in what looks like a super-luxury hotel in the UAE that I had seen on tv once, and I have to do my Paris Hilton tv show there. The cameras are rolling and I try to talk like Paris, but sound more like Fran Drescher in The Nanny. A member of the camera crew then asks me if I know anything about a Vivienne Westwood suit that went missing from a store in Queens. He then proceeds to take off his mask and reveal himself to be a NY cop. I'm taken downtown, with the cameras still rolling, and I suddenly hear the real Paris Hilton scream out that she recognised me as being not her. Go figure.
At this point I wake up. Exhausted.
What a crazy ass dream. :eek:
