Dreams of fighting

[fbhjr]

Saturday night I dreamed the my brother confronted me in some sort of business office in a skyscraper in a major city. He was there to try and do some business deal that would hurt me, and when I refused, he attached me.
He pulled a golf club from a golf bag that one of the executives in the office had and started swinging it at me. (I think it was a 9 iron)

I was able to block or dodge his, and got a few hits back. But, it was very clear that he was impervious to my hitting him back. I suspected some sort of robot duplicate of my brother was involved.

I had been prepared for this. I had an iron bar up the sleeve of my jacked and was able to let him hit me with the golf club. I then swung him around and pushed him into the elevator that was waiting at our floor.
I gave a signal and the charges that had been put in place fired, cutting the cable and sending the elevator car, with my brother in it, rapidly down to the bottom.

“Great,” I said in the dream. “Now he’ll be waiting at the bottom and knows I don’t have any other way out of this building.”

Last night I dreamed I was in some sort of high rise police station. There was a very high profile case going on where a famous person had been accused of a crime. I knew that if we arrested them, riots would break out across the city.

I had photographic proof that they weren’t guilty and was putting it up on a display board in the police auditorium so everyone could see it. I was going to let everyone know they didn’t do it and we could drop the case, so riots wouldn’t break out.

As I started to make my presentation, another person came in and said “what about this?”
They slapped a photo on the board that showed the person doing the crime.
The police in the room all jumped up and went out to arrest the person.

“Wait, this is clearly photoshopped,” I said, looking at the other photo. “It’s not even a good job of photoshop.”
And, it was basically a photo of the person pasted onto a still image from some kind of TV show, and you could even see screen credits in the photo.

“Yeah,” the person who put it up said. “But, they’re an asshole and I didn’t want them to get away with it.”
“But, they didn’t do it.”
“That’s got nothing to do with it.”
As we said this, we could hear riots breaking out all around us. People began running through the hallways breaking things, shooting, and being shot.

“We’ve got to get out of here,” I said.
We ran into a big cargo elevator and I pulled it closed.
We started going down, but it stopped after only one floor and folks in riot gear ran in. They had no markings so I couldn’t tell what side they were on.

I brought us one level lower, opened the door and said “They guys you hate are right out here!”
They ran out and I pushed the person who started it all out with them and closed the elevator door.
Dream ends


Both dreams involve violence in tall buildings in a city.
One that seemed to be a law office of some kind, one a police station.
Both involved me pushing folks either into or out of an elevator to escape.

I know they seem like different dreams, but they feel very similar to me.
And, I have no idea what they mean.

Wow. Interestingly enough, Muses_realm said she's had dreams the last 2 nights that involved tall buildings and them bending over/melting and such.

Just going off your headline made me think of the scene in "Meaning of Life" where they have the Corporate Pirates in their office buildings and the file cabinets become like cannons and they're firing paperwork broadsides at each other.

It was actually fairly close to The Crimson Quality Insurance…
