Mansion of the Living Dead

Well last night I had a really awkward dream. I say awkward just because it was so random, which doesn't bother me because I have weird dreams like this on a regular basis. Anyways it was actually kind of fascinating at the same time so I thought I'd share some of the details.

So it starts off with a quite large family which was gathering for some occasion, I don't know what. Some sort of family reunion or something. It was weird because it wasn't even my family. It consisted of me, my boyfriend (whom I was married too in this dream), and Maxwell Sheffield and Nanny Fine from The Nanny. I know, I know, that's lame but I was watching them that night and I guess my mind incorporated them. It may be my mind going on with that marriage thing because it was the episode where Niles and Cici got married while Ms. Fine was having her baby; spontaneous and unexpected. The girl from Zombieland was also in it, Wichita. The rest of the family was just made up characters that I've never seen or could even recognize in real life.

The setting is at a mansion in the middle of this forest/farm type thing. It's kind of a mixture. It was really weird because there was like corn growing in the middle of all the trees and such. It was dark out, but not itch black yet, maybe an hour or so past sunset where there is still a little bit of light coming through. Anyways my mind kind of started right where it was starting to get interesting, probably because I hate the boring introduction parts of movies so my mind just skipped it. Apparently there was some sort of object that was missing from the fountain out front that represented some sort of spiritual connection and also kept the bad spirits away. So the family is running around trying to find this object (I never actually saw the object, so I don't know what it is). Eventually when it got darker out you could hear the winds start picking up and the family started to panic. I was new to the family so I didn't really know what was going on, I was just kind of standing there wondering what was going on. Then out of nowhere the entire scene started to fill with fog and the family ran inside trying to close all the doors and windows, covering them with boards so they wouldn't open.

After a while of cowering in the house, everyone started to move to the rear of the house where they were preparing some sort of ancient forcefield thing that could protect that very small portion of the house, which was basically like a hallway with a few small rooms about the size of an ordinary closet attached to it. There were also two windows looking outside. The room connected to a hallway on both sides and the forcefield ended right at the edge of the room so you couldn't really peer around the corner that well (I don't know, my mind focused on that part for some reason, but there is a reason for it later on). I was still standing near the front door of the house when suddenly the doors burst open. I could see the fog covering the entire outside area and there were these flying skeleton heads coming towards us with somewhat of a blue glow to them. You could also see the glow behind them as they would flying towards us, kind of like the jet fuel path that's left behind by an airplane, except it fades away quicker.

There was a lot of screaming. As one of the heads was flying straight for me, my boyfriend jumped in front of it to protect me. It went inside of him and he fell to the ground. His eyes kind of glowed with that blue color for a few seconds and then faded to black. Ms. Fine was also hit with one and Maxwell was hit with one as well while he was grieving over Ms. Fine's body (seriously, I don't know why my mind included them, don't ask me). By the time we all made it to the rear of the house under the forcefield there were only about 20 of us left.

We basically all just sat there wondering what the hell to do for a long while. Some of them continued thinking where the object might be so they can retrieve it. After a while of collaboration, a group of 10 thought of a few places to go check and volunteered to go check them all in hopes they could retrieve it and get it back to the fountain to save the house and the rest of the family before it was destroyed again. At this point, the great grandfather who is like 100 years old is having flashbacks to when he was a child and this had happened. He was staring at the house afterwards, torn to shreds, not a thing left of it. The group finally found the right time to run out on their search and so they did. They were gone a while and eventually after a lot of waiting 2 returned and said that they had found the object and placed it in the fountain. Basically the rest of the time we sat there staring at out the windows at the skeleton head slowly left, the fog slowly faded away, and the sun slowly started to come up again. There were only 7 of us left at the end, and as the dream slowly faded to black and started playing Fireflies by Owl City in my head my phone buzzed and woke me up as I was getting a text message from my boyfriend. What a dream!
