Is this a dream or a nightmare?: I'm in an elevator on the ground floor, somehow the elevator has an upper balcony story from which people can look down on people. My cousin
hedmonster is in the elevator but she's dressed like James would dress: jeans, light blue shirt, brown and green argyle v-neck vest, her brother's there too as well as a few other people. I think the buttons on the elevator indicate that we can go up 4 flights or down 2. We start going up, and on the way two lesbians in the elevator start making out (they're like girl lesbians not real lesbians, the kind where you look at a super girly het girl and project lesbos upon her ... porn lesbians, really) ... one gooses the other really hard and she complains that it hurts, the people in the elevator are rolling their eyes in that "get a room" sort of way. Their actions cause the elevator to behave erratically: stopping between floors, stopping at floors no one asked to go to, going down when we're supposed to be going up ... this all pisses my cousin off and she screams "YEAH! WELL MAYBE I WANNA FUCK SOMEONE TOO!" and then she walks over and gooses some girl that I think I used to go to high school with ... if she were an animal she'd be a rat. She screams "Ow! That DOES hurt." This pisses the lesbians off who are humping each other's legs at this point, and they angrily gesture indicating that they'd like to get to their room sometime very soon.
hedmonster's behavior causes further elevator fuck-ups. Then, her brother sits down at a desk in the middle of the elevator, from which missiles and machine gun fire start spewing out ... but it looks more like the kind of missile and machine gun fire that would come from a boss in some nintendo game after you kill him ... it can't hurt you. At this point everyone is waiting to go to the 4th floor but the elevator indicates that we're on the first basement level. After the missile barrage, all the lights go out & I have some vague memory of SWAT-team members everywhere (which may have come from the documentary I watched the other day on the Iranian embassy hostage taking in London in 1980). Suddenly, the elevator loses tension and starts to drop ... I'm not too worried, thinking that we've only got one flight to drop, but someone says that it had gone back up while we weren't paying attention ... but for some reason the indicator still reads "1B". I watch it go as far down as "4B" before we accelerate to the point where my feet come off the ground. The last thing I remember is whispering "we're all going to die, we're all going to die" to myself before I woke up with a hideously accelerated heart rate...
Last night, I watched "Mulholland Drive" again and I think I actually got it ... maybe that's got something to do with this.
