ocelotWeird weird science fictiony dream.
I was in a futuristic hospital giving birth. I didn't really understand why I was there, or who I was. i told this to the people who were with me, and they were all like "Yeah, we know, you're a different person every day". My phone rings. It's a female voice telling me I have a message from the Alliance (the enemies). Do I want to hear it? I hesitate, fearing that they're going to track me down somehow. The voice says I only have one credit left. I agree to hear the message. It says something surprisingly good, something about cooperating with something I've asked. The message ends, and my phone goes dead.
I'm having trouble giving birth for some reason, and they have to do some sort of intervention. I can't remember what or why.
Then something involving dinner in some sort of fancy restaraunt where I'm asking questions related to this alliance thing and the body switching.
Then I'm at home, just normal me, no futuristic setting. One or two college age females come by, saying that they're from a company where I'd applied for a tech support job a while ago, and hadn't heard back from. They want to hire me. I tell them that I'd love to, but the pay isn't enough to make it worth it for Christof to quit his job, and one of us needs to stay home and care for Leif. They look genuinely disappointed and say they'll discuss it with their boss, which surprises me, as I haven't even had an interview yet. I tell them that maybe we can work something out so that I'm working around his schedule.
They give me back some paperwork that I'd given them, and are surprised that I'm happy to have it back. I'm not as excited once I see it. It wasn't what I thought it would be.
They ask if I still have my chip. I tell them yes, but that the phone stopped working a while ago (this is the same phone from the hospital). They ask to see it, so I find it and show them the chip inside, which matches one of the pictures in the little book they have. I'm a little suspicious, and ask them if it's some sort of tracking device. They assure me that it isn't.
Then I'm talking to the boss in his office. He has some papers with technical looking diagrams, and I wonder if this is the technical interview, since they haven't actually done anything yet to confirm I have any clue what to do on the job.
My phone rings, and I'm so shocked (the only time it's rung before was in the hospital) that I answer it without thinking. I worry how it will look to the boss, answering the phone like that in the middle of the interview. It's the alliance guys again. They tell me to ask the boss if he's going to make any future revisions. I'm about to say something to the boss, when they tell me not to let him know who is calling, and to make sure he can't see the indicator lights on the phone changing color. i hold the phone differently to hide them, sure he must know exactly why I'm doing it. They tell me to ask, but to be sure to do it right, because if he catches on, the last thing I'll feel is him boiling my brain with the heat of his eyes. Then they hang up, and my phone returns to nonfunctioning.
He asks who was calling. I say no one. He slides a booklet across the table to me, and tells me to look at it. I flip through. It's has art similar to the types in the hospital and restaurant. He asks me to read a certain line, which is basically gibberish. I do the best I can. I'm waiting for the right time to ask the question, and wondering if they're asking if he's going to make any further revisions of this booklet.
He has me read from another page. This one is a quote from a woman, talking about when her child was born twelve years ago. And then it said she swerved her car off a cliff, killing herself and her son, Leif. I realize that this is referring to me, and that now is the correct time to ask the question, but I'm scared to because I feel caught in a trap. I'm afraid of being burned if I ask wrong, and being caught up in some conspiracy I don't want to be a part of if I ask right.
I wake up before I ask the question.
I can see where a lot of this stems from. Anything related to the hospital and paperwork, including the first phone call, is related to something from Leif's birth that has been on my mind which I'll discuss if it turns out I'm not being paranoid. Part probably stemmed from![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
yndy's rabbit hole day post. The alliance is totally Firefly. Burning me with his eyes is Phantom Of The Opera.
It's one of those ones where I wish I could continue the dream so I can figure out what's going on!
